TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com The controversial ML Ready Mix concrete plant that neighbouring Mimico residents complained for a decade causes dust, noise and quality-of-life issues could be moving out. Etobicoke-Lakeshore Councillor Mark Grimes, who represents the area, said Friday a potential site for the concrete facility has been found in the city’s eastern port lands. The eastern port lands is zoned heavy industrial. Years ago, Toronto council approved the area for use as a concrete facilities’ campus. "We found a site down in the port lands that is a compatible use that city planning supports," Grimes said in an interview. "We still have a long way to go, but this l See COMPLAINTS, page 5

TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Nichlos Seerat, 20, Khalid Ahmad, 18 and Mohammad Shah, 19, race over to the train station in Woodbine Centre’s Fantasy Fair, Ontario’s largest indoor amusement park. The West Humber Collegiate students search for community signs, one of six quests they completed during the Amazing Fantasy Fair Race at the Hwy. 27 and Rexdale Boulevard area mall. Special education teacher George Liolis asked the trio to find the railroad crossing sign, complete with red flashing lights. "Atta boy, Mohammad," Liolis said. "What does the sign tell us? Can I go? What comes through here - an airplane?" "Trains!" the students respond. "That’s right," Liolis said. Liolis conceived the Amazing Fantasy Fair Race as a "community classroom," modelled after the

clue-hunting competition on popular The Amazing Race TV show. The race aimed to enable the 23 students with autism and developmental disabilities to "learn or build new vocabulary and participate in activities that promote expressive, receptive and pragmatic language skills," Liolis said. Students’ most-significant deficits are social delays. He added: "We encourage them to speak to staff, make eye contact and answer questions." One morning in June, three teams of students raced through Fantasy Fair for an hour before it opened. Students completed six quests: history of the carousel; planes, trains and automobiles; community signs; geometric shapes; ticket booth information; and fair hours of operation. Students buzzed with excitement as the clings and clangs, bells and whistles and children’s ride-induced screams filled the air. Each student received a

The race, and frequent field trips to Woodbine Centre, reinforced earlier classroom teaching about community, including places that sell goods and services,

and places to have fun. Liolis wrote Dr. Seusslike riddles and quizzes for each quest with the help of his wife and children while on March break vacation. "It’s about functional literacy. It’s about reading information for a purpose," Liolis said. "It’s not just two

plus two. It’s about them knowing how much a Subway sub costs. It’s about following signs to find their way to the Bay or the food court." The goal of students’ seven-year high school education is to "promote post-21 planning," Liolis said, not-

Three men arrested in bedroom shooting TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Toronto police arrested three men Tuesday night known to a man, 20, and his pregnant girlfriend, 19, who were shot in bed early Tuesday morning in their Kipling Avenue highrise apartment. Three men armed with handguns entered the 2757 Kipling Ave. apartment around 1:30 a.m. July 4. A man was shot in the leg and hand. The three months’ pregnant woman was shot in the chest; the bullet lodged in her shoul-

der. There was no direct injury to the woman’s fetus, police said. Paramedics rushed the man and woman to hospital. They remain in serious, but stable condition. Supt. Ron Taverner, unit commander at 23 Division, told reporters Tuesday morning at a media conference at the station officers had arrested the man in hospital in connection with an attempted murder during a home invasion robbery a week ago. The woman is not under arrest. Two children, aged eight

and four, were in another bedroom in the apartment. They did not witness the shooting and were unharmed, Taverner said. The children are now staying with relatives. "It’s unbelievable these types of crimes," Taverner told reporters Tuesday. "Any shooting that happens, particularly, a pregnant woman shot in her home, it’s just a despicable, despicable crime. Taverner said the shooting was targeted and investigators believe it to be gang retaliation. "We do believe that this

"We love the idea of it," Persaud said of the Amazing Fantasy Fair Race. "George put the whole thing together. We did our best to be accommodating and make it fantastic." Last year, the fair added three new attractions: Drop N Hop, an XD 3D theatre simulator and a rock wall. Fantasy Fair has 12 rides, including a carousel and full-size, two-level ferris wheel, a large arcade and games. Next year, Liolis said he intends to involve two other schools in the Amazing Fantasy Fair Race.

Complaints about dust, noise ongoing for decade l Continued from page 1

is the first step toward removing ML from the Mimico community," Grimes said. Finalizing approvals and agreements for the new site will require a planning and negotiation process between city planners and ML Ready Mix principals, Grimes said. A company spokesperson declined to comment on this story. Since 2007, neighbouring residents - some of whom live 20 feet from ML - have regularly complained about excessive noise and dust from the facility to the city and the Ministry of the Environment. The ML Ready Mix facility at 29 Judson St. is on the south side of a residential street near the Mimico GO Train station, across from a park, seniors’ residence and adjacent houses. The Guardian has been reporting on the facility and residents’ complaints about it for the past decade. In recent years, Remicorp Industries Inc., which operates ML Ready Mix, and Metrolinx had submitted court applications

against one another seeking a court decision on easements granted when Remicorp purchased a triangular-shaped piece of land from CNR in 2002. The land, on the north side of the CNR tracks, is now Metrolinx property on Royal York Road fronting ML Ready Mix’s property. The easements allow for access to maintenance of the railway tracks. In 2016, a Superior Court of Justice decision ruled in favour of Remicorp, and dismissed Metrolinx’s application, finding Metrolinx had abandoned its easement. Last month, a Court of Appeal for Ontario ruling overturned that decision and found in favour of Metrolinx. Remicorp was directed to pay Metrolinx’s application cost of $35,000 and appeal costs of $20,000. Some residents neighbouring ML argue it’s that court decision that could cause the concrete facility’s potential move. Grimes does not agree. "I don’t think that’s the case," Grimes said. "It’s just an easement through their property. I’ve been told that won’t affect ML’s opera-

That’s not going to shut them down, in my mind." Dan Irwin lives directly across the street from ML. He has led the community charge for the past decade to move the concrete plant out of the area. Irwin said Friday he believes the court decision is forcing ML out. "The city and Mark Grimes

have nothing to do with the Metrolinx court judgment," Irwin said. Irwin said he is "relieved, but not really celebrating" the news ML could move out of his Mimico neighbourhood. "I suppose this is still good news," Irwin said. "As a homeowner directly across from this noxious, incompatible facility, my quality of life, enjoyment of our

home, and health and well-being has been severely affected (by these) intolerable conditions for over 10 years." Irwin said he has many questions for the city about ML’s potential move. "There are still many questions," Irwin said. "What is the time frame? Will we still suffer from another summer from hell?"

ABOUT US

Downtown baby boom calls for civic attention Ah, to be young, living in a vibrant and accessible city - and, of course, in love. It is a dream that is coming true for a growing number of young people who’ve chosen to start their lives in the condominium canyons of downtown Toronto. After sequestering themselves in a smallish apartment, small enough to encourage them to step out and enjoy the bars and restaurants and activities of downtown Toronto, it is inevitable that some of them will meet and fall for each other. It is only a step or two from there to where we are now: a downtown crowded with a new cohort that is even younger. Babies. Social Planning Toronto, an advocacy group looking at urban form and social justice issues, has released a report looking at the age and sex data from the latest census across all of Toronto’s neighbourhoods. And while the numbers of youngsters are constant across the city compared to previous censuses, there is a noticeable baby bump in the downtown. Over the past decade, the number of children younger than five has increased dramatically: some parts of the downtown by threefold, others by 70 to 90 per cent. If nature continues to take its course, there will be more now and even more in the future. This presents a challenge that city planners have been expecting for years but have still been struggling to meet: the need to transform Toronto’s downtown from its old role as a commercial and cultural centre into a collection of intensified residential neighbourhoods where space is at a premium. As it sits now, downtown Toronto is not especially family-friendly. Park and open space are very limited. There will need to be more classroom space as those toddlers move through the preschool stage to school age. The core will need more community centres, and a lot more licensed child care that’s affordable and close by. And developers raising condominium towers and rental units will have to make larger units a more common feature in their projects. It’s tough enough to squeeze two people into 600 square feet, after all - never mind a growing family. There are worse problems to have, of course. A whole clutch of growing families in a dense neighbourhood has been a dream of progressive urban planners for more than half a century, and that is exactly what we have downtown. Now, all we’ve got to do is make it work.

Byelections should always trump appointments Picking the councillor for Ward 44 in Scarborough was a long and occasionally entertaining process. Council had decided to appoint a councillor to fill the east-end Scarborough seat following Coun. Ron Moeser’s death in April, and as always in these cases, aspiring city councillors came out of the woodwork. A total of 48 of them put in applications, and most of those also came to a special council meeting last week to make their case. They needn’t have bothered. Councillors had already made up their minds on one of two obvious choices: a former city councillor with a reputation for fair-mindedness and a former city bureau-

All 46 others may as well have stayed home or simply withdrawn their applications, rather than give the stump-speech deputations that they did, in front of a city council listening as politely as it could.

Of course, it wouldn’t have done to tell anyone that, because doing so would only highlight how undemocratic it is for a city council to pick its own membership. This doesn’t happen at other levels of government. When a vacancy occurs federally or provincially, there’s a byelection - period. Picking their representative is a part of a citizen’s democratic franchise. As matters transpired in Ward 44, the electors there at least had their franchise respected. Jim Hart, the former bureaucrat, worked with the late Coun. Moeser for a year and will almost certainly fit well with the will of voters in 2014. But, that is not neces-

sarily always going to be the case. When the late Jack Layton left his Ward 30 seat to lead the federal New Democratic Party, there was a move afoot by conservative-minded councillors to install a right-wing appointee as caretaker until the next election. They didn’t prevail, but the only thing that prevented them was a hard push from council’s left and centre. The only thing that will prevent that in the future is byelections - all the time, no matter what. David Nickle is a reporter and columnist covering Toronto City Hall for Metroland Media Toronto.

TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Toronto Pearson airport officials cancelled an Etobicoke public workshop about its future growth plans with just hours’ notice last Wednesday. Officials with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), which operates Toronto Pearson International Airport, said 61 people preregistered to attend the public forum. "We learned...from friends and family in the community that there had been an extensive outreach asking people to attend (the) meeting with no information included about the need to preregister," Erin Kennedy, GTAA spokesperson, said outside the Assembly Hall. Kennedy said GTAA staff emailed the 61 residents who preregistered for the forum to inform them the airport workshop had been rescheduled.

The Etobicoke airport workshop will now take place on Tuesday, July 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Toronto Congress Centre, 650 Dixon Rd. Mississauga resident Dave Street, who lives near the Etobicoke border, expressed anger at the GTAA’s decision to cancel the meeting. "It’s atrocious that (the GTAA) get away with this," Street said outside the front door of the Assembly Hall. "This is what happens when you have a group of people who don’t have to answer to anybody but themselves." Etobicoke Centre MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj and Mississauga East-Cooksville MP Peter Fonseca also expressed outrage at the GTAA’s decision to cancel the meeting. Wrzesnewskyj said GTAA officials "should know the community are active on this file," referring to Pearson airport and its operations.

An April 21 Guardian article reported more than 150 people - "a standingroom-only crowd of Etobicoke and Mississauga residents impacted by noise levels some described as house-shaking" attended that April 19 meeting of GTAA’s noise committee. That article reported Hillary Marshall, VP of stakeholder relations and communications, acknowledged the grievances of the Etobicoke and Mississauga residents and apologized for the noise from a spike in overhead planes due to work on "Canada’s busiest runway" - Pearson airport’s Runway 05/23. "Whether they anticipate 60 or 100 or 200 people, you can’t prepare for that? That’s unacceptable," Wrzesnewskyj said. Fonseca was blunt in his criticism of GTAA officials. "There is a lack of trust and accountability," Fonseca said of the GTAA. "The trust has eroded."

FAMILY

Modern medicine, IVF funding brings babies into the world Ontario funds one cycle of IVF per patient which clinics disperse through lottery, wait-lists DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com

insidetoronto.com

Toronto actor Daren Herbert recently had his youngest audience member watch him perform on stage - his daughter. But his newest fan (who slept through the performance) arrived after a long and tiring journey for Daren and his wife Joanne. Ori, born on May 4, came into this world thanks to modern medicine, following in vitro fertilization (IVF). The Regent Park couple has been married for 10 years, the first few of which they hadn’t worried about having children, thinking it would happen when it happened. But as the years went by, they became concerned. By 2013, they became serious about wanting children and found out there was an infertility factor for both of them. In 2015, they did their first round of IVF, which, at the time with medications and testing, cost approximately $20,000. The procedure did not result in a pregnancy. Less than a year later, they tried again. By the time of their second attempt, Ontario started funding IVF. With a cap on spending, not all couples get the funded procedure clinics are given an allotment which they disburse through such means as a lottery system or wait-list. The Herberts planned to go

Joanne and Daren Herbert hold their baby Ori inside their Toronto condo. Joanne went through in vitro fertilization (IVF) a modern medicine which is helping people become parents who otherwise would not be able to. ahead with the procedure whether they had to pay for it or not, and about a week before they were due to pay, they found out their IVF cycle would be covered. "We honestly didn’t know where the money was going to come from," Joanne said. "But, our bigger challenge was to get pregnant, not to worry about the money. We said to ourselves that when we’re 80, we’re not going to look back and say, ’thank goodness we saved that $20,000’." The second time around was successful and Joanne gave birth at age 40. "Life is delightful," Jo-

anne said of being a mom. "She’s pretty chill. She just communicates when she needs something, like when she wants a diaper change. When you don’t change it, she’ll lose her mind a little bit. But, if you pay attention to her, she’s pretty clear." The province pays for one cycle of IVF per patient, which normally costs around $10,000. Medications cost between $3,000 and $5,000 and optional genetic testing costs about $5,000. These latter costs are not funded by the province. "The government should be complemented on funding this and recog-

nizing the importance of funding fertility treatments," Ottawa-based fertility specialist Dr. Art Leader said. Leader is a board member of Conceivable Dreams, a group advocating for IVF funding. "It’s the right thing to do because it’s helping people build families. Families are the core of our society. And if you want to be selfish about it, somebody’s got to be earning money and paying taxes so that you and I can retire." Infertility affects about one in six reproductive-age couples in Ontario. It’s also on the rise, said Leader. For starters, as stigma

around infertility drops, the number of diagnoses rises. There are also real reasons for an increase in infertility. The biggest is that people are waiting longer in life to have children. "People are going to school longer, not everybody can get a full-time job, so they’re waiting until there’s financial stability, so people are waiting longer. Unfortunately, fertility declines after 32," he said. Another, but lesser, reason for increasing infertility rates is the environment. This includes everything from pollution in the air, toxins in our produce,

metabolic steroids used in the animals we eat and more. But science is improving too, Leader said. The first person born following IVF was in the U.K. in 1978. In the ’80s, IVF success rates were about 5 per cent. Today, it’s 45 per cent. Success rates for women under age 35 are actually greater than 50 per cent, he said. While IVF success rates are rising, Conceivable Dreams board member and Toronto lawyer Sandra Alsaffawi is encouraging women to talk about their fertility. In school, girls are taught how not to get pregnant; they don’t get taught they’re only fertile three to five days a month or that there is an expiration on their fertility. She wants women to avoid having to go through the IVF process like she did unsuccessfully. "Nobody chooses IVF," she said. "It’s not fun, it’s invasive, it’s painful." Women are required to visit their clinic daily for testing, take daily medications and give themselves a shot in the stomach that hops up their hormone. It’s a long process, and it’s expensive, even if the government pays for the procedure.

What is in vitro fertilization? • Manually fertilizing eggs with sperm in a lab, then transferring the embryo into the uterus. Who is eligible for governmentfunded fertility treatments? • You must live in Ontario and have a valid Ontario health card. Sex, gender, sexual orientation or family status are not considerations in fertility treatment eligibility. • For IVF eligibility, the patient must be under 43. Only one IVF cycle per patient is funded.

Funded by the province and city, the redevelopment of Kipling Acres first broke ground in October 2011. The first phase - which saw the construction of a new 192-long-term-carebed building featuring a public art display, a secure courtyard, birdfriendly glass and a green roof - first opened in the first quarter of 2014. Following the completion of Phase 1, the original Kipling Acres building was demolished, followed by construction of the second phase of the project on that site - including an additional 145 long-term care beds and a 5,500-sq.-ft community hub space.

Joanne Flewwelling, William Osler Health System’s (Osler) interim president and CEO, welcomed local dignitaries, health care leaders and members of the community recently to celebrate Etobicoke General Hospital’s (EGH) new four-storey patient tower and seven-storey Ancillary Services Building (ASB). "Construction has reached the top floor for both sites," she said, noting that the twin projects are both on schedule to open in 2018.

Once finished, the hospital’s new patient tower will add 250,000 square feet of space, including a larger, state-of-the-art emergency department, new intensive and critical

The new ASB will house several outpatient programs and services - including a fracture clinic, diagnostic imaging, and a new satellite dialysis program. Osler Foundation board member John Esplen said Orlando Corporation has stepped forward to pledge a "historic" $15 million match - of which $5 million will be dedicated to the hospital’s redevelopment. "But that’s only if the community raises $5 million to match it," said Esplen, noting that the hospital has until August 2018 to reach that fundraising goal.

recently took a tour of the Ontario Food Terminal, the country’s

The

terminal at The Queensway and Park Lawn Road opens for business at 4 a.m. daily.

Above, Walter Konik shows off some of his Niagara Region-based Konik Farms strawberries at the Ontario Food Terminal farmers’ market. Konik has spent a lifetime growing strawberries, peaches and plums, the majority of which is sold at the terminal. Left, Nature’s Gardener, Manuel Macedo, loads up his truck with fresh flowers. The terminal is where independent shops, garden centres and florists buy market-ready flowers. Right, Buyer Tom So samples a red delicious apple. Buyers walk the market, checking products and prices of individual sellers before deciding to make a purchase. The farmers’ market is located underneath the terminal’s parking deck; protecting buyers and sellers from rain, snow, and the heat of the sun.

The Otterville, Ont.-based farm owned by the Den Boer family grows 13 different crops and multiple varieties of each including five types of radishes. It caters to higher-end supermarkets. Top, the view through the front window of the Street Produce warehouse location, shows work in process. The terminal has 80 warehouse units. Middle, a truck is loaded with produce purchases at the Ontario Food Terminal farmers’ market. Approximately 2 billion pounds of produce is distributed through the terminal each year (5.5 million per day). Bottom, ceiling-mounted refrigeration units maintain the temperature on one of the storage rooms at the terminal warehouse. The terminal has 100,000 square feet of cold storage space over 19 rooms. Each room is individually controlled for temperature and humidity. An air filtration system developed for the space shuttle takes bacteria out of the rooms. insidetoronto.com
