It’s a Sweet 16 celebrating the personal growth and development of not one teen, but hundreds in south Etobicoke. It’s not a birthday party, but a fundraising campaign. South Etobicoke Youth Assembly (SEYA) turns 16 this year. It’s a youth-led and -run initiative focused on supporting and empowering area youth aged 13 to 21 to make a positive difference in the community through personal growth and leadership development, and through providing opportunities for advocacy, civic engagement and volunteer hours. SEYA supports the health and capacity of youth through leadership camps, a vocal program, dance, photography, workshops on mental health, anti-bullying, goal setting, healthy living and achieving success. It also offers opportunities to organize and participate in community events, such as hosting the only all-candidates’ meeting in the lakefront riding during last year’s federal election campaign. But SEYA is under threat. LAMP Community Health Centre has funded a large portion of SEYA’s operating costs since its inception. But funding cuts and new fiscal realities at >>>teens, page 11

Humber Bay Shores residents ask for GO CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca heard the transit wish lists of Etobicoke residents loud and clear at a town hall last week. The establishment of a Park Lawn GO station emerged as

the top priority for Humber Bay Shores area residents during the Feb. 3 meeting, while Etobicoke residents along Eglinton Avenue West lobbied for an LRT configuration that won’t drive traffic into their neighbourhoods. Del Duca, who grew up in Etobicoke, called the standingroom-only turnout to the meet-

‘Outstanding’ principal lauded for dedication

“

TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Every June, she gifts students with a bright-green pencil that reads, “Be positive. Be creative. Take control of your education.” Students hear the quote daily at the end of school announcements. It has become part of their conversations. She sought and gained STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) designation for her elementary school, including introducing robotics concepts in every grade. A new student health and wellness room encourages circuit training, yoga and just blowing off steam. She visits classrooms daily to greet students and take photos for Twitter posts, and created a school website to promote the Alderwood elementary school to the community. Education is a platform to help children reach their potential, and systemic barriers to reaching that potential need to be identified and removed to ensure student success. It’s a philosophy Alison Gaymes San Vicente, principal of Lanor Junior Middle School, believes strongly and instills daily in staff, students, parents and the community. Gaymes San Vicente has just been named one of Canada’s outstanding principals by The Learning Partnership, an annual award recognizing principals for innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and creativity in finding solutions and opportunities. “Her commitment and dedication to kids to maximize their outcomes and achievements is second to none,” said Toronto District School Board (TDSB) executive superintendent Roula Anastasakos, who nominated her. “It is evidenced by her demonstrated leadership. She’s passionate. She really is in it for the good of the kids, their parents and the community as a whole.” The school, off Evans Avenue near Browns Line in Alderwood, is among the TDSB’s STEM schools. Parents Tammy Robbinson and Tony Sturino and Althea and David Robinson said in their award

tion through an equity and justice focus. She has written a chapter on girls’ empowerment and mentorship for the second edition of Restacking the Deck: Streaming by Class, Race and Gender in Ontario Schools, published in 2014. She pioneered a TDSB-wide empowerment and mentorship initiative for girls in grades 3 to 12. She is the recipient of a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal. Gaymes San Vicente readily acknowledged she didn’t do well in school when she was a girl. She was smart, but didn’t apply herself. A guidance counsellor advised she take general, not advanced, classes in high school. Her two older brothers and parents wouldn’t have it. She went on to graduate high school with straight A’s.

“It had nothing to do with my capability. It had to do with how others saw me,” she said of the failed effort to stream her in to general classes. “I still remember my mother going to the school to insist I take advanced classes. I learned resilience and perseverance from her. “How different my life would have been. I would never have gone to university. I would never have become a teacher. It really shaped me.” That experience shaped her belief as a teacher and administrator, that all children have potential. “We put labels on kids. We forget all kids are gifted. Every child has genius. Sometimes, you just have to pull out the genius,” she said. Grade 8 student Adriano Shalca spoke of Gaymes San Vicente’s “enthusiasm and great work ethic” and “great personality” in his recommendation letter supporting her award nomination. “Ms. Gaymes has made Lanor a brighter place, a more friendly environment,” Adriano, 13, said in an interview. “She is a really good role model. She inspires us. She tells all the kids: ‘do your best.’” Grade 8 teacher Kathy Coyle recruited Adriano and fellow student Lily Yee, to write the recommendation letters. “One of the things that came out of the students’ writing is that she respects them. She doesn’t lecture. She has conversations. I think they really appreciate that,” she said. Despite students’ “different entry points” to their education, Gaymes San Vicente recognizes the talents in, and success of, all of them, Coyle added. “She values them wherever they’re at,” she said. “She’s also a lot of fun.”

ow celebrating its ninth year in Ontario, Family Day on Monday, Feb. 15, this year has become a welcomed long holiday weekend for many. But whether or not people spend that time with their families is another question entirely. It’s certainly not because there’s a shortage of funfilled events across the city. From the annual Family Day skates hosted by several community groups to winter fundraisers by nonprofit organizations such as the Canadian Cancer Society, people of all ages can participate. Do something educational by having kids attend winter nature programs at Rouge Park or take a family friendly tour of the Ontario Legislative Building while participating in a scavenger hunt at Queen’s Park. Just visit www.insidetoronto.com/toronto-whatson/ to see all the events and our view activities in your community the whole family can enjoy. Perhaps this weekend will be Get out and a time for couples instead to enjoy dinner out this Sunday with enjoy the Valentine’s Day coinciding with long weekend Family Day weekend. Some restaurants are sure to be completely booked already, while others may have a long waiting list. Make those reservations now. For those willing to trek downtown, keep in mind there will be plenty of visitors in town with Toronto hosting the NBA All-Star Game along with all the basketball festivities taking place at various venues leading up to the tip-off Sunday evening. Look for car lovers, too, as the 2016 Canadian International AutoShow kicks off Friday at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. And the Hockey Hall of Fame is getting in on the Family Day action by offering free admission for kids Monday. Just one note however, with the threat of a potential taxi protest, the TTC might prove to be the better way this weekend if you are commuting down to the core. Whether Family Day is a time to spend with family or just an extra day off, the city has a lot to offer this weekend. Go out and take advantage of it.

There’s hope for Toronto’s fiscal future Nothing has changed. Going into next week’s budget debate, Toronto council will be considering a 1.3 per cent inflationary property tax increase, with some, but not all, of the services the mayor and council promised last year. It’s all buoyed by a banner year in land transfer tax revenue, surpluses from last year and reserves for rainy days. It’s all fine, right? Well not really. On Tuesday, Toronto city manager Peter Wallace reiterated and amplified points he made at the beginning of Toronto’s budget process in late 2015. To whit: the whole thing – the city’s operating budget, tax rate, service levels, capital plans – is all unsustainable. At the Tuesday executive committee, he put it as bluntly as he could. “We as staff will constrain expense growth and we are very successful in this, but in balance, council has shown a

david nickle the city propensity to increase service levels. That leads us to a conversation around what service levels will you cut. If you’re not willing to cut service levels, that leaves us with a conversation on revenue.” Or more bluntly still: “Council needs to step back and decide not only what it says it funds, but what it actually funds.” Now, this is the point in the budget column when I would shift into excoriating the budget committee for being hopeless morons who can’t put fiduciary duty ahead of craven politics. And there will be a bit of that: the 2016 budget is a duct-tape and chewinggum affair that sets up unrealistic expectations among property taxpayers, and barring another miraculous year of growth in Toronto’s real estate

bubble.. er, market... makes things only harder to cobble together next year. The budget committee and the mayor ought to have known better. Now that that’s out of the way, there is some hope things will get better. During debate and afterward, Mayor John Tory and nearly everyone on the executive committee fell in with their city manager’s tune. Right after the budget is complete, council will get to work on a multi-stage debate on new revenue tools and possibly also higher taxes, held against the prospect of dramatic service cuts. Tory took a first step in that direction at the committee, albeit one he’d already taken publicly, putting forward an amendment to go ahead with a long-term 0.5 per cent property tax levy to pay for new infrastructure, in what he called the City Building Fund. It is a first step, and it would politically be the easiest thing for it to be the last step. But Tory is making

it pretty clear he values the advice, even the contrary advice, from senior civil servants. He swallowed his pride when chief planner Jennifer Keesmaat released a report telling him the city shouldn’t attempt the full SmartTrack plan that he promised. And he made it clear in a short interview after the meeting that he values this advice, too. “Why would you pay anybody good money if you didn’t want to listen to what they have to say or have them say it in some way that’s muffled?” said Tory. “That’s not how you get results. Quality people speak the truth to whoever they’re speaking to.” In that respect, at least, it looks as though something has changed. We’ll see if it holds after council votes on the budget next week.

Taxi drivers shocked by vote not to file Uber injunction DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com City lawyers have the authority to seek another injunction against Uber Canada to stop it from operating in Canada, but Toronto council has asked they only seek that injunction if the timing and circumstances point to a likely success. Council voted 39-3 to amend recommendations from the city’s Licensing and Standards Committee to move ahead immediately with an injunction stopping the currently illegal Uber-X ride sharing program. After a private staff briefing and debate, Mayor John Tory

moved the amendment that would ask staff to seek the injunction under “appropriate circumstances.” Tory said after the meeting that the advice he and councillors received indicated staff needed to be strategic. “ When you make an injunction application, you want some degree of assurance you’re going to be successful,” Tory said. In public, city staff noted that even if the city were to ask for an injunction, it would not likely be heard by a judge before the summer. And at that point, council would have considered a bylaw currently being drafted by staff that would regulate the

ride share program. The meeting was attended by an at-times raucous crowd of taxi drivers and plate owners, who have been pushing the city to shut down the ride-sharing app in Toronto. The vote disappointed the Toronto Taxi Alliance (TTA), which issued a news release accusing council of leaving the question of a court injunction to a city staff they believe have been reluctant to take on Uber. “The TTA is shocked by Mayor Tory’s lack of respect for the rule of law and his failure to support Toronto’s legal taxi industry,” the news release states.

UP trains less than 10 per cent full The most recent numbers posted for the Union Pearson (UP) Express indicate sagging ridership for the air rail link. Critics of the four-stop train line between Union Station and Toronto Pearson airport say high fares price out all but the wealthiest of travelers. The numbers show an average of around 2,400 UP users during November and December, down sharply from previous months. Over the same period, UP trains, which can hold more than 170, were less than 10 per cent full. This weekend, UP is completely free to use from Feb. 13 to 15. TAXI STRIKE IN THE WORKS wWEEKEND

Speaking of the long weekend, it’s promising to be a busy one with the NBA All-Star Game, Valentine’s Day, the Canadian International AutoShow – and in all likelihood another taxi strike. Details were scarce early in the week, but it appears disgruntled cabbies will stage a public disruption intended to

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT spotlight their frustrations toward the UberX private cab service. The United Taxi Workers Association promises the protest will be more forceful than December’s day-long action that saw drivers block streetcars and get into violent confrontations with suspected Uber operators. The drivers are upset with Toronto council for voting against proceeding with a court injunction banning UberX. Municipal regulations for legalizing the service are to be unveiled in April. TO HELP FUND CAR CHARGING STATIONS wPROVINCE

The $20 million Electric Vehicle Chargers Ontario (EVCO) granting program was introduced by the Liberal government late last year as a way to address the lack of charging stations. “Building up a more robust

network of chargers at workplaces, residential buildings and public places, as well as along major highways, will go a long way toward conquering drivers’ range anxiety,” says the group Partners in Project Green, a partnership between the Greater Toronto Airport Authority and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority. Through the program, the province subsidizes the cost of purchasing and installing charging stations. YOUR BIKE TO WORK FRIDAY wRIDE

On November 1, 2013, Expert Mortgage launched the “85Alive”program in Ontario. The concept was simple: as long as you had a pulse, Expert Mortgage would provide you with a home equity loan, up to 85 percent of the value of your property. No job required. Bad credit, OK. The reason why Expert Mortgage could offer a “no questions asked” lending program, while the major banks could not, is that they represent over 200 private lenders who lend strictly on property value. These subprime lenders specialize in mortgage clients who have had some bad luck, and need a helping hand until they get back on their feet. The program has been so successful that Expert Mortgage can barely keep up with the volume of calls. To help fund this unexpectedly large number of borrowers, it has partnered up with dozens more private lenders.

Licensed Mortgage Agent Puneet Garg, Expert Mortgage’s “85-Alive” representative for the GTA Region, says, “We’re seeing mostly homeowners behind on mortgage and property taxes. The banks are refusing to restructure their loans. Many of these people have lost jobs due to the bad economy... or they’re self-employed. Unless you are a perfect applicant, the bank doesn’t want to talk to you.” But not everyone condones Expert Mortgage’s easy lending criteria. A local real estate agent with 25 years of experience, who has asked to remain anonymous, says, “When this market turns down, it’s going to get ugly! It’s utter financial suicide for Expert Mortgage to be giving money away so easily to clients without the ability to make payments. I’d be surprised if they’re still in business five years from now.” Nonetheless, homeowners

like Anita P. don’t see a problem with the program. When questioned on how she plans on making payments on her mortgage when she has no income, Anita responds, “We were four months behind on our mortgage and they saved our house. My husband has been unemployed for nine months. He won’t be unemployed forever. We used the 85-Alive loan to pay off all our debt. We also had $25,000 left over that we put in the bank for emergencies. And to make life easy, they worked it out so we have no mortgage payments for 12 months.” For more details on the ”85-Alive” program, contact Puneet Garg, Mortgage Agent 647-852-4274. www.TalkToPuneet.ca

FAREWELLS REWELLS DONE WELL!

Thank You, Cardiac Kids. Thank you from the bottom of some of the tiniest hearts there are. Hearts like Jane’s – pictured above – whose congenital heart block was successfully treated in utero at the Labatt Family Heart Centre. Thank you, Cardiac Kids, for being our volunteer partner for 15 years, and having such big hearts for little hearts. Thank you for raising more than $2.5 million to date. It’s made so many special initiatives for kids and families dealing with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) possible – like Camp Oki, the summer camp that’s especially for kids with heart defects. Cardiac Kids, we’re so proud you’re our partner and friend. You’ve got the same kind of heart for kids with CHD as we do. And it’s not just us saying “Thanks”. It’s Jane, and every family like hers. Find out more about the big hearts at Cardiac Kids by visiting cardiackids.ca.

Making It Easier Since 1931

Teens conceived fundraising campaign to keep SEYA going >>>from page 1 LAMP mean it can no longer continue to fund SEYA to the same extent, said Jasmin Dooh, LAMP’s health promoter, who oversees SEYA. “LAMP has been very generous to us. But we have to try to come up with more funds to operate,” Dooh said. So SEYA youth – 171 of them, 80 new to SEYA this year – conceived the Sweet 16 campaign. Donors are asked to give $16 – or more if they can. Business owners and philanthropists are also being sought to contribute. Next month, as many as 40 SEYA youth aged 14 to 19 will attend its annual March Break camp, engaging in recreation, team building and employment skills. Lunch is provided. A Canadian champion volleyball and badminton coach will host workshops. “We’re trying to build the capacity of young people to find themselves, their interests and abilities,” Dooh said of SEYA’s mission. “We give them encouragement so they can feel proud of who they are. We teach them about tolerance, acceptance of diversity and the passion of people

who care about one another. “Obviously, we want them to be happy and healthy. We want them to pay it forward, to help others. That’s how you build a united, supportive society.” Every summer, LAMP provides a staff co-ordinator and hires eight area high school students, including SEYA youth, recommended by the Toronto Catholic and public school boards through the provincially funded program, Focus on Youth. Students earn approximately

$3,000 over the summer. Many share their earnings to help support their families, Dooh said. “We know we’re creating employment and income for young people and families. It’s amazing. We know they’d never get that opportunity otherwise,” she said. Soon SEYA will host a genderidentity workshop. One youth will share his story about transitioning genders. “To do that, it must be a pretty safe environment,” Dooh said. “That

proves the importance of the programming, and how we are nurturing and investing in youth.” Everyone affiliated with SEYA is dedicated to the youth, Dooh said. Duane Quashie, who grew up in the area, has coached basketball for older SEYA youth Friday nights since SEYA’s inception. Tiffany Jiminez assists him. “Duane and Tiffany have been around since the beginning, and they still continue to give up their Friday nights to make connections with the kids and the community. They really care about making good lives for people,” Dooh said. That dedication has paid dividends. Many SEYA youth have gone on to successful careers. Former SEYA program co-ordinator Amber Morley attended Humber College and now works as a staffer in area Councillor Mark Grimes’ office. Gavin Sheppard, formerly with SEYA, is the co-founder and executive director of The Remix Project. Remix is an arts and cultural incubator working with at-risk youth using urban entertainment to engage and empower at-risk youth. It now has offices in Chicago. Janice Karmody, SEYA’s program

co-ordinator, has witnessed her own personal growth through SEYA. “SEYA helped me develop the skills and confidence I need to succeed. Being a part of SEYA has challenged me to develop leadership skills, communication skills, critical thinking and much more,” she said.

How to help n Donate at www.canadahelps. org/dn/9217 on LAMP’s donation page. Click on the “select the fund your donation will support” drop-down menu and select “South Etobicoke Youth Assembly”. n Donations of $20 or more receive a tax receipt. n SEYA will also host an International Women’s Day lunch Tuesday, March 8 at the Mimico Cruising Club. Tickets are $40. Contact Dooh at 416-252-6471, ext. 308 or email jasmind@lampchc.org for tickets.

Let’s get our kids moving! Lots of good things happen when our kids move more. Being active doesn’t have to mean planned, structured exercise. All you have to do is encourage that natural urge to ‘Run. Jump. Play. Every day.’

How to find the right contractor for your home renovation projects Finding a contractor is kind of like finding a mate. Like dating, it means you have to know what you’re looking for, ask a lot of questions, seek advice from friends and family and most importantly, take your time deciding. After all, the contractor you choose is vital to the success of any remodelling project. Here is what you need to know to find the perfect contractor for your project:

Get specific Once you have a list of recommended contractors, narrow down your selection by doing some

preliminary research into their credentials. For example, have they received any certifications? Do they specialize in anything? Are they affiliated with any professional associations? Do they have the proper licenses and insurance?

uncommon for contractors to be working several jobs simultaneously.) This will give you an idea of how much time they can realistically devote to your project and if that works for you.

Do your research

Don’t be afraid to do a background check. Good contractors will have no issue with passing along references. Ask questions such as: Did the contractor show up on time? Did the project stay on budget? Were they happy with the overall work and professionalism?

Make sure you’ve done your homework. Research your project so you have a realistic understanding of what’s expected. Also compare the timeline required against existing projects your contractor may have on their plate. (Note: It is not

Beat Lower Back, Disc And Sciatic Pain Now

hankfully, new natural treatment methods help many find the relief they had been searching for. Sciatica is a painful condition that affects the sciatic nerve. The pain usually radiates into one or both buttocks, descends the back of the leg and can sometime be felt in the foot. It is often a severe, knife-like pain, but can also be noticed as numbness or tingling in the leg and foot. It is unpredictable and does not go away even when you change positions or lay down. Sciatica can result from years of poor posture, muscle strain, pregnancy, excess weight, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a very soft mattress. Sciatica is often a symptom of a slipped disc, pinched nerve or arthritis. Although pain pills may temporarily cover up the symptoms, our holistic approach can provide a more effective, long term relief. “Our team members apply their individual skills and knowledge to make an accurate diagnosis and administer the right treatment that will get the best result for each patient.”

Dr. Peter Ng has a special interest in natural pain relief and Chinese medicine.

Residents worry about LRT traffic spillover >>>from page 1 too long... governments at all levels and of all stripes didn’t make the difficult decisions to make sure that we continue to build the road, highway and bridge infrastructure, and continue to expand our public transit to give people options with respect to leaving their cars at home,” Del Duca said. One of the results of that indecision, Etobicoke-Lakeshore residents argued, is the “terrible” gridlock around Humber Bay Shores – a 2.5-km strip of “crunching roadway” that one resident estimated will house up to 35 condominiums and 30,000 people before its development boom is over. “Knowing the tax base of 2.5 km of vertical living, I just wonder if we have a GO station in mind?” the resident asked Del Duca. “We’re terribly under-serviced there, and we really sorely need a better transit system in the area to get people out of their cars.” That sentiment was echoed by both Michael Olivier, head of the transit subcommittee with Our Place Initiative, and Craig White, managing editor of urbantoronto.ca “There is no potential site along the Lake Shore West GO line that has more density already added to it, with more still coming, than that one spot,” White said. Del Duca said he’s aware of the dramatic changes that have taken place in that pocket of Etobicoke, and noted that Park Lawn is on an “immediate shortlist” of 50 sites Metrolinx is currently analyzing as potential new GO stations. “I know on that list of 50, there’s a potential station at Park Lawn. We haven’t completed our analysis, but I will say, virtually from the first day

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING Staff photo/CYNTHIA REASON

MPP Peter Milczyn (Etobicoke-Lakeshore), left, provincial Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca, MPP Yvan Baker (Etobicoke Centre) and Metrolinx chief planning officer Leslie Woo sit on the panel for an Etobicoke transit priorities town hall meeting Feb. 3 at St. Andrew’s church.

I became minister of transportation, Peter (Milczyn) has talked to me about this fairly consistently and very directly conveyed the challenge you and others in your neighbourhood are facing with this.” Up in Etobicoke Centre, meanwhile, Baker’s constituents expressed their misgivings with the potential impact an Eglinton LRT would have on their local streets. Richview Gardens resident Mark de Domenico noted the “tremendous” residential development the area around Eglinton west of Kipling has undergone in recent years – development that has squeezed out the corridor’s potential for roadway expansion. “I, like many of the residents in my area, am frightened that someone’s now going to get the brilliant idea to build (the LRT) right down the middle of Eglinton, and it’s going to be disastrous,” he said. “Traffic is going to end up coming into our neighbourhoods to avoid

Eglinton, through areas where children play, where there are schools, and where it’s not safe.” One representative of Richview Ratepayers Association called Eglinton not just an artery, but a “jugular” for Toronto. “By introducing an LRT, that jugular will be blocked further, choking the city with traffic,” the person said, noting the need for solutions now, rather than 10 years from now when the LRT arrives. “Eglinton was always meant to be a bigger street – it was meant to be three to four lanes on each side. Why can’t we do that now?” Del Duca noted he’s been informed of the challenges along the Eglinton corridor, but the plan for resolving those issues is not yet fully formed. “I think the only thing worse than us doing nothing would be for us to do something to solve one problem that would inadvertently create a series of others,” he said.

On Sept. 26, 1908, two Canadian Pacific Railway trains crashed head-on in Islington in dense fog. The westbound train was about to pull into a siding near Canning Avenue (now Cordova) when the eastbound train collided with it. All crew members but one jumped

from the moving trains to safety. Fireman James Kendall had his head down, adding coal to the fire box, and was killed instantly. A coroner’s jury found Kendall’s death to be accidental. This photo of the crash scene, complete

Help find sister cats a new home Shop at an Etobicoke Global Pet Foods store this month and help the Etobicoke Humane Society find bonded senior feline sisters Precious and Coco, and many other pets, their forever homes. Donate in-store at any Etobicoke location Feb. 12 through 28 to Global Pet Foods’ Show Us Your Heart campaign. Proceeds go to the Etobicoke Humane Society (EHS). Donate as little as $1

and Global Pet Foods will match it. Purchase a $5 heart and Global Pet Foods will donate $1 and give you 10 Air Miles. Four years ago, EHS took in Precious and Coco after their owner took them to the vet with the intention to euthanize them due to their age. The 12-year-old calico girls with green eyes have lived at EHS ever since. Because of their age,

and the need for Coco and Precious to be adopted together, the female felines are often overlooked for adoption. EHS is a volunteer-run organization funded entirely through donations. Since its inception, Global Pet Foods’ Show Us Your Heart campaign has raised more than $1 million to help care for thousands of homeless animals across Canada.

Happy memories keep us feeling vibrant and fulfilled. At Tapestry Retirement Communities, we provide all the encouragement and support to keep you feeling that way.

Funding will be used for scholarships, technology centre Humber College recently received its largest donation to date – $5 million from The Barrett Family Foundation. Humber president Chris Whitaker said the foundation’s “generous donation” will help in two ways. “First, it will give more students access to college and the opportunity to study in technology-based programs that will prepare them for tomorrow’s workforce,” he said in a statement announcing the funding. “And, secondly, the donation provides initial funding for the next generation of technology and innovation learning facilities.” The donation, which will be made over three years, includes $1 million to create an Access to Education and Skills Training fund that will be used towards tuition and entrance scholarships, as well as awards and grants for students seeking continuing education or skills upgrading. The other $4 million will kick-start the creation of a new centre focused on technology-based training designed to “fuel innovation, collaboration, creativity and

The award, sponsored by Club Car, is bestowed annually on the superintendent whose submission is judged to be the best example of an activity, project or management approach that improves the sustainability of their golf facility. Owen's selection for the award is based on a series of related accomplishments that include Audubon certification for Markland Wood, significant efforts in both water use and water quality management, the completion of a creek revitalization project, the regeneration of native sycamore trees on the site and the response to two devastating events that had near catastrophic impacts at his golf course.
