Couple to say ‘I do’ at Ribfest

Retired cop needs liver Etobicoke Rotary and WeddingGirl.ca to host wedding at weekend event transplant

LAURA DASILVA ldasilva@insidetoronto.com One lucky couple will bring new meaning to ‘buying the cow’ at this year’s Ribfest. Pamela Ruttan and her fiancé Francis Cote will be tying the knot in front of family, friends and sticky-fingered festival-

goers at the first-ever Ribfest Wedding. The deliciously whimsical wingding will be the culmination of a contest run by the Etobicoke Rotary Club and WeddingGirl.ca to promote the beginning of the festival at Centennial Park and give a deserving couple the saucy

celebration of their dreams. “No one’s ever done this before. People get married under water and crazy things like that, but as far as we know, no one has been married at a Ribfest,” said Hugh Williams, Toronto Ribfest festival director. Dozens of engaged couples

MPP Yvan Baker (Etobicoke Centre), left, Toronto councillors Stephen Holyday (Ward 3), John Campbell (Ward 4) and Justin Di Ciano (Ward 5) talk about their ideas for Etobicoke during a Rotary Etobicoke Forum held at the Crooked Cue.

Politicians share their ‘big ideas’ for Etobicoke ALI RAZA etg@insidetoronto.com A community centre, a bridge art project, programs for youth employment and a new downtown hub for Etobicoke were some of the ideas brought forward by politicians at a forum last week on how to improve life in the community. The Rotary Etobicoke Forum held at the Crooked Cue gave Etobicoke politicians the chance to talk about the needs in the community and how they’d meet them. “We have over $250,000 to spend every year after Toronto Ribfest within the community,” said Rotary Etobicoke past president Hugh Williams about the annual festival which takes place June 27 to July 1 this year. “The forum was to help identify areas of need or high interest.” City councillors John Campbell (Ward 4 Etobicoke Centre), Stephen Holyday (Ward 3 Etobicoke Centre) and Justin Di Ciano (Ward 5 Etobicoke-Lakeshore) attended the forum along with Etobicoke Centre MPP Yvan Baker. Campbell opened the floor with his idea of a community centre near Martin Grove Road and The Westway.

“I started talking about it to city staff,” he said. “There is no centre for people to go for activities or a drop-in centre in that area.” “It’s just an idea, but all it requires is $15 to 25 million,” he added. Baker highlighted that his riding was home to many unemployed and underemployed university-educated youth, an issue that resonates province-wide. Citing both a 17 per cent youth unemployment rate and a 30 per cent underemployment rate in the province, Baker wanted to see part of Ontario’s $3.5-billion university funding to be tied to helping students find work after graduation, through mentorships and internships. Resident Mary Bratko, who’s been self-employed for six years after graduation, mentioned that “there’s red tape all over the place” when working with universities and colleges. “What sort of functions exist within the community that would mentor young people to create your own job if you can’t find one?” she asked. Baker said mentoring groups that focus on professions and various alumni associations could help recent graduates secure employment.

Ideas to tackle youth unemployment in Etobicoke were also accompanied by ideas to promote engagement between youth on opposite sides of Hwy. 427. Holyday noted that the highway acted as a “great dividing line” of Etobicoke, adding that it was “a river that can’t be crossed.” A suggestion he offered was to start an art project to transform the “brutally ugly bridge” at Rathburn Road and Hwy. 427 to serve as an example of co-operation between the east and the west and to encourage and promote positive engagement of the two sides. “It’s not a lot of money, but it’ll involve getting people to work together,” he said. With regards to development ideas in Etobicoke, Di Ciano pointed to the 15-acre site of the former Westwood Theatre and suggested making the area the new downtown hub for Etobicoke, instead of packing it with condominiums. “We will announce in the next couple of weeks an international design competition for the lands,” he said, which he hopes will include a three to four-acre park.

‘Phenomenal’ music teacher retires from John G. Althouse Les Dobbin retires after 33 years CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Amazing. Inspiring. Phenomenal. Super cool. Those are just a few of the glowing reviews issued by colleagues and students this week to describe the 33-year career of John G. Althouse Middle School’s longtime instr umental

music teacher, Les Dobbin, upon his retirement from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). “He certainly leaves a huge void, because he’s magic in the classroom. What he’s able to accomplish musically with the kids is phenomenal – I’ve never seen anything like it before,” Principal Susan Bois said of Dobbin, a 2003 winner of the Provincial Award of Excellence and 2012 recipient of a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Dobbin’s young students seem to agree with their principal’s assessment: “He’s just really cool. Mr. Dobbin makes

music fun, even though he’s always making us work harder,” said 12-year-old student saxophonist Micah Dominguez-Schatz. “Music is definitely a big part of my life now because of him. I want to be like him when I grow up.” The Etobicoke resident spent the first 13 years of his teaching career at Park Lawn, Norseman, Lanor, Humber Valley Village and Islington public schools, he landed at John G. Althouse in 1995. “I’ve been here ever since – it’s an amazing music program,” he said of his 20-year career with the school. “We went from having a band and string program of maybe about 30 kids in the beginning, to taking every kid in the school,” he added, praising former music coordinator Alfreda Harrison for allowing John G. Althouse’s music program to flourish. “We currently have a student population of about 525, and every one of those kids plays an instrument – that’s very, very unique.” While Dobbin is now officially retired from his TDSB teaching position, don’t expect him to rest on his musical laurels for too long . “I’ll be keeping busy, but I’ll miss working with the kids,” Dobbin said. “I count former students and their families as my friends and I feel very fortunate for that, because it’s an amazing community.”

Helping diverse businesses in Toronto a win-win

Write us

uilding an environment where Toronto’s immigrant entrepreneurs succeed is just good business sense. And the City of Toronto, through an enhanced procurement policy, has an opportunity to improve outreach and to really tap into the talents of immigrant entrepreneurs. In this month’s exclusive feature on pages 44 and 45, we take an in-depth look at the experience of the immigrant entrepreneur in Toronto. Being an entrepreneur can be a struggle. Being a newcomer to Canada can be a struggle. Put those experiences together and one our view can imagine the complications. Later this year, city counEnsure equal cil is expected to consider being called a Social opportunities what’s Procurement Framework, one for newcomers that provides “diverse businesses with equal opportunities to share in the city’s growth and prosperity.” Among the possible features: more online posting of smaller contracts (under $50,000), actively soliciting bids on projects below $10,000 and more education on how to respond to documents such as Request for Proposals (RFPs). Concentrating on the many talents newcomers could bring to our economy can only build a stronger city. Nearly half of Toronto’s residents are foreignborn. Sound policy reflects a community’s make-up. But even so, such a policy must be complemented with more outreach to ethnic business groups – to help dispel the perception in some quarters that there is an uneven playing field when it comes to municipal procurement and also to remove some of the mysteries around dealing with government. A flourishing entrepreneurial environment means new jobs and a better overall economy. It can also mean less reliance on social supports. Last November, we listed a number of items Mayor John Tory needed to make a priority during his tenure. Diversity – which included the issue of procurement – was one of them. There’s an opportunity to establish this as a priority, to craft policy that is inclusive, reflective of the community and beneficial to its citizens. Visit insidetoronto.com/diversity for coverage on this issue as well as other stories from Toronto’s diverse neighbourhoods.

Speed limit decision best for Tory to leave alone or risk his voter base

ne might choose to look at the Toronto and East York Community Council’s move to slow down traffic in the city core as a bit of a retaliation. The June 22 vote came just a few weeks after Toronto councillors not in the Toronto and East York Community Council area voted to rebuild the eastern part of the Gardiner Expressway in the middle of it, against the wishes of every councillor elected there. So there is something of a statement in this vote: anyone who wants to drive on one of the city core’s well-treed, compact little residential streets will have to slow down now: what was 40 kilometres an hour is now 30 kilometres an hour. As retaliations go, this

david nickle the city one’s fairly benign. Slower speeds on residential streets will almost certainly result in fewer deaths and serious injuries from collisions between cars and pedestrians and cyclists. But it is also an historic exercise of power. Community councils have since the David Miller years had the power to make decisions on stop signs and speed on local roads without need for ratification from mayor or council or anyone else. Usually, those decisions are deeply local: in Toronto and East York, councillors routinely reject one request for a parking pad or a tree removal at a time.

Not this time. The reduction of speed limits will cost more than $1 million to implement, and it will have a lasting, if incremental, impact on a vast and contained area of the city. Toronto and East York has, in making this decision, effectively treated itself as not just a community, but a municipal jurisdiction all its own. Council could squash it all eventually – at some point, at least part of that $1.1 million bill will have to come before the budget committee and council for its 2016 allocation. On June 23, however, Mayor John Tory indicated to reporters that although he disagreed with the decision, he wasn’t going to do anything to mess with it. That is a sensible retreat for a couple of reasons.

First: the community council move may play as retaliation, but it is also a good public response to the rash of cyclist deaths that have helped define the late spring of 2015 in the city core. Getting into a pedantic fight over the best way to manage pedestrian safety in local councillors’ wards is a losing battle for a mayor, and also for other councillors. And second, it does Tory no good to get into a fight over safety with the 12 downtown councillors, whose constituents largely voted for Tory in 2014. It is a long ride to 2018, but even at this slightly reduced speed – it’s not that long. David Nickle is The Guardian’s city hall reporter. His column appears Thursdays.

the etobicoke guardian tackles a local issue

our exclusive look

with

Ronan Levy

Co-Founder, Canadian Cannabis Clinics

By Tamara Shephard

RECENTLY, THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA said limiting medical consumption to dried cannabis infringes on liberty protections under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Medical cannabis users may now legally consume edibles and extracts, such as cannabis teas and oils, cookies and brownies. The Guardian asked Ronan Levy his reaction to the ruling. Levy is Canadian Cannabis Clinics’ (CCC) co-founder, director and general counsel. CCC opened an Etobicoke clinic at 2504 Lake Shore Blvd. W. east of Mimico Avenue in April. Courtesy photo

What’s your response to the Supreme Court ruling?

It just makes sense. If you give people access to medical cannabis in dried form, they should have the right to use it in other ways. Some people, such as those with

Whether she likes it or not, that boat (legal medical cannabis use) sailed 15 years ago. Your outrage is about 15 years too late.

What does the court ruling mean in practical terms?

A lot of people are excited about it, but perhaps prematurely so. They think they can go out and buy cannabis edibles and extracts.

emphysema, can’t smoke or vaporize it. What was surprising was (Health Minister) Rona Ambrose responding to it by saying she was ‘outraged.’

The ruling said you can make edibles and extracts for yourself if you have a prescription or have a licence for medical cannabis. It doesn’t mean

licensed producers can sell edibles and extracts. They can still only sell dried cannabis to patients.

discreet. Edibles and extracts are more discreet. It’s almost like taking a pill. But it’s not as predictable as vaporizing it. When you vaporize, it starts to take effect in a minute or two. When you eat it, it takes

an hour. Dosages are more difficult and you don’t know how long it’s going to last. Most people tend to vaporize it.

Can you give us an update on your Etobicoke clinic?

I t ’s g o i n g r e m a r k a b l y well. We’re seeing lots of patients.

Most medical cannabis prescriptions are written for three months.

We’re just starting to get our first set of follow-up appointments.

What are common medical conditions for which patients seek medical cannabis for relief?

Chronic pain is the most common. We see patients

How will the ruling affect your clients?

One of the things we hear from our patients or potential patients who are open to medical cannabis is for whatever reason, they don’t like the idea of smoking it or vaporizing it. It’s not very

with anxiety and depression and arthritis quite a bit.

Who qualifies for a medical cannabis prescription?

Medical cannabis is not a first-line agent, nor do we use it as a first-line agent. We require patients to provide us with their medical history

of conventional treatments they’ve had. Patients come to us as a last resort. Often, medical cannabis is effective at managing pain. The

effect of medical cannabis on patients’ lives is quite profound

On Monday, May 25, the Central West CCAC, Headwaters Health Care Centre, William Osler Health System, Region of Peel Health Services, and the Central West LHIN hosted their fifth Telephone Town Hall to engage local residents in a conversation about health care services in the area. More than 5,000 households took part in this call, and the host organizations received several positive comments about local health care services, as well as valuable feedback to help shape health system planning work. Here are some of the questions and answers from our participants:

Impaired charges laid in Gardiner crash A Mississauga man is facing impaired driving charges after a multi-vehicle collision on an Etobicoke stretch of the Gardiner Expressway sent several people to hospital last Thursday morning. Police responded to the call for the personal injury collision in the westbound lanes of the Gardiner, just east of Grand Avenue, on June 18 at around 3:30 a.m. It is alleged that a 30-yearold man driving a 2015 Acura started the chain reaction col-

lision when he struck the rear blocker truck (safety vehicle) of a road maintenance crew working in the left lane at the time. The man subsequently veered right, striking a Ford van that was also traveling westbound. The driver of the van then lost control of that vehicle, and the van left the roadway, striking a guardrail on the north shoulder of the Gardiner and then rolled over. All occupants of both vehi-

cles were taken to hospital for treatment. The driver of the Acura, who has been identified as 30-year-old Jastaad Sagoo, was arrested at the scene of the collision. Sagoo is charged with: impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm; over 80 mgs operation causing bodily harm; and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm. He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 7.

Barbecue sauce on the wedding dress likely: bride >>>from page 1 said. “They are a reflection of what a Canadian love story should be.“ Ruttan and Cote have been together more than five years and live in Angus, Ont. with their three-year-old daughter Olivia. Cote serves in the Royal Canadian Air Force and travels often. A day after he left for Manitoba on a tasking last year, a tornado touched down and destroyed their home. They are still rebuilding. “Things happen that aren’t easy to deal with,” Ruttan said. “You have to stand strong together.” Mary and her WeddingGirl. ca entourage surprised the deserving couple on June 15 with a giant bunch of balloons and excited shrieks. After ambushing Cote at home, the gang headed to Ruttan, who was at her parttime job in Barrie, to share the news. “I could barely even speak.

lem 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, 647-852-4274. www.TalkToPuneet.ca

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 prob-

ETO0615

On November 1, 2013, Expert Mortgage launched the “85-Alive” 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 per cent 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.

With condo popularity on the rise, prospective buyers have a few things to consider before taking the plunge into condo ownership. “Condo living offers a unique lifestyle with many perks,” says Pat Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). “Before buying one however, it’s important to speak to a Realtor about the responsibilities, rules and fees that come with condo ownership.” According to the Ontario Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, condo living might be right for you if you can answer ‘’yes’’ to most of the following questions: • Do I like the communal aspect of condominium living? • Can I afford to pay monthly condo fees? • Am I prepared to contribute to how the condominium is run and governed? • Do I understand responsibilities of owning a condo? • Am I looking for amenities? “Condo fees are definitely an

• The number of parking spaces and locker units that come with the unit; • The number of rental versus owned or commercial units in the building; • The rules and regulations of the condo, including pet policies; • Insurance policies.

Why choose a realtor? A realtor can help you reach the perfect buyer You’re ready to dive into the real estate market. Now what? You may be able to post ads online or purchase space in a local newspaper, but a realtor can take marketing to the next level. They are trained to find the perfect house or buyer and they don’t let you down when it comes to getting the word out. To start marketing a home, you need to know your target audience. Who will buy your home and how much will they spend? What are the most appealing features? Where will your buyer be searching when they find your posting? Realtors have the resources to figure this out. They know your area’s demographics and can market to potential buyers accordingly. Realtors can advertise your house online and in newspapers, just as you can. They, however, have access to real estate publications and contacts throughout the business. They’ve been networking longer and know where to go to close the deal. When creating advertisements, realtors also know key words and phrases that buyers will be searching for. They can write a polished posting that will draw in more viewers. On top of publication advertisements, realtors offer a professional “for sale” sign that will get your home noticed. Not only are the signs often well designed, they also showcase recognizable real estate logos, names and faces. Remember, your realtor markets him or herself regularly in the community. This adds to the

marketing specifically for your home. When buyers search for homes on social media, it’s likely they will go straight for the realtor and large real estate company pages. This is another advantage a realtor has when it comes to helping you sell. All the hashtags in the world may not get you as many views as a post on a local realtor’s Facebook page or Twitter feed. If you choose a well-known real estate company, you may also be included in a regular newsletter or website posting. These outlets can help you reach buyers who would have never seen your house otherwise. When selling, you can’t forget that buyers want to see the home before giving up a hefty deposit. This is where an open house comes in. Realtors are experienced and know what will sell a home. You can bake cookies and tidy up, but a realtor will make sure your home is your best marketing tool, down to the finishing touches. If you’re looking to buy, visit a realtor to see postings that may not be available to you at home. Realtors have access to a multiple listing service (MLS), which requires realtors to login. MLS systems are updated regularly and allow realtors to search through postings to meet a buyer’s specific needs. MLS systems can also help realtors determine how to market a seller’s house at a fair listing price. Deciding to sell is the easy part. Sit back and trust a professional realtor to market your home properly for the best results.

Sleepover puts Pan Am Athletes’ Village to the test JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com When some 7,000 athletes descend on the city for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, they’ll find the athletes’ village ready and waiting. Many of the village’s features were on display at a special sleepover event on Friday. The event gave a group of volunteers and members of the media a glimpse into the village while also serving as a test run for the facilities, which have been designed with an Ontario cottage country flair. The athletes will pack into dorm-style rooms, which will be converted into private residences and student residences for George Brown College following the games. While their primary focus will be bringing home gold, they will have plenty of facilities to ensure they are able to relax. One such area is the “Cabin”, a lounge area with

couches, hammocks and a bar serving a wide selection of mineral waters, where athletes can socialize and unwind. Across Front Street, a large greenspace boasts plenty of Muskoka chairs to give the competitors an outdoor area to relax, while a games room will offer video games, table tennis, air hockey, foosball, pool and other games. “There’s a lot of pressure on the athletes to perform

and represent their country,” said Allen Vansen, executive vice president of the Toronto 2015 Games. “These spaces are incredibly important to those athletes.” Nearby Corktown Common will be closed to the public throughout the games, giving those participating in the games yet another peaceful space to call their own. The athletes will also have no shortage of food options,

orated – in addition to single beds, they feature lockboxes for valuables, end tables, lamps, fold-away cubbies for clothes and drying racks – but they should meet every athlete’s needs. “The thing that excited me most (when seeing the room) was the drying rack,” said former Canadian Olympic swimmer Julia Wilkinson, who now works with the Toronto 2015 Games. “It seems like just a little thing, but as a swimmer, I know when you’re in a room with a few other girls, you can see (bathing) suits hanging everywhere. That’s something that the swimmers will really appreciate.” The beds are surprisingly comfortable, given they are only expected to be in use for a short time. Longer beds are available for taller athletes. Athletes will start coming into the city from throughout the Americas in early July.

“We have an outdoor barbecue pit, which is classic Ontario cottage country, where the athletes can pick up a hamburger or hot dog, take in the outdoor grilling experience and enjoy the weather and scenery,” Vansen said. The village’s polyclinic will provide comprehensive medical support in an array of specially-arranged trailers. Doctors on hand will be able to prescribe medication, which will be available at an on-site pharmacy, while sponsor-provided X-ray, ultrasound and MRI equipment and sports physiotherapy facilities will serve more urgent needs. “There’s a sports and physio rehab area that has everything from massage therapists to orthopaedic surgeons,” said polyclinic manager Ben Adley. “There’s a family practice zone that’s like a typical doctor’s office, and that doctor will be able to write prescriptions and set up imaging.” The athletes’ rooms themselves may be sparsely-dec-

special report

City hall reaches out to minority-led companies MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com

oronto is edging closer to being a city where more than half of residents are foreign-born and more than half are non-white. But many first- or secondgeneration Canadians who own companies here think they are at a disadvantage getting business from city hall. “They feel there’s an unequal playing field,” said Zubair Patel, community relations director for the Toronto Network of Indian Professionals. This “long-held sentiment” among minority-led businesses covers not just municipal procurement, but hiring for city jobs, Patel said. When city hall and its contracts reflect the city, he argued, “it creates a greater sense of belonging,” but if not, “it slows down the process of integration.” Mayor John Tory is aware of the perception minorityled businesses don’t get a fair share. It’s true, but there’s nothing sinister behind it, he said. “The city just doesn’t know who these people are.” As long as minority-led companies know they’re free to bid on contracts, the mayor said, “that shouldn’t be an obstacle.” social procurement To change the playing field, city council started experimenting with a “social procurement framework” before Tory was elected last fall. The mayor said it could lead by next year to a policy ensuring one of three short-listed bids for each city contract comes from a minority-led or “diverse-led” company. “They will win or lose on their own merits after that.” The city has started posting contracts worth $10,000 to $50,000 online, and soliciting some bids for smaller projects worth $3,000 to $10,000.

It’s too early in these experiments to say if they’ve made a difference. Not enough people know about them, and the city hasn’t posted as many contracts as was hoped, said director of procurement Michael Pacholok. “I feel we need to be a little more proactive.” City hall doesn’t have a closed list of vendors, he said, but speculated many small and medium-sized companies could be daunted by large contracts or think working with government, “generally seen as very rigid,” is too difficult. Pacholok said the city wants them to know they’re free to compete, and if a company is small, sub-contracting is an option.

“

The city just doesn’t know who these people are. – mayor john tory

In recent years, applying for city projects as a “diverse” company seems a sound strategy: in 2012, just seven per cent of bidders were “selfdeclared” as minority-led or controlled – which includes women, aboriginals, and gay and lesbian people – but they got $339 million in city business. In 2013, $434 million went to a self-declared five per cent. “There might be more out there that just didn’t tell us,” said Pacholok, who said his staff is planning more outreach to ethnic business groups on how to do business with the city.

“I think it comes down to using technology and using our connections,” said Tory, adding many large private firms are “doing a better job than the city on this,” and its government can learn from them. The mayor dismissed arguments adding a social procurement policy will increase the city’s costs or slow things down. free enterprise By broadening the nature and number of bidders, you can get a better price and quality, plus benefits you didn’t know about, he said. “To me, it’s a very freeenterprise way of doing it.” Courtney Betty, founder of the Diversity Business Network, said the biggest challenge for minority-led businesses “really is the lack of connections,” and providing opportunities for them will make us all wealthier. With a social procurement policy, “no one’s going to lose, but it will require courage to move this forward,” said Betty, a lawyer. “It’s the right business thing. It’s the right social thing.” He has faith Tory will make the right changes happen. “He’s a believer,” Betty said. Patel also welcomed the pilot projects in procurement, saying while the city should do more outreach, minority-led companies should do more research themselves on how to apply. A report on social procurement is expected to lead to a draft policy by the end of this year.

Help building a business FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com

mmigrant entrepreneurs often come to their new country armed with a strong work ethic and grand ideas, but without the knowledge of what’s involved in making their dreams reality. That’s where organizations geared towards helping this targeted group come into play, with programs and service referrals available to assist those hoping to launch a business in the city. L a u r i e Fl e m i n g , c o ordinator of The Learning Enrichment Foundation’s (LEF) Emerging Entrepreneur Program, said the majority of the immigrant entrepreneurs she has worked with aspire to get into the food business, replicating what they did in

their home country. “The restaurant business in Toronto is hard,” she said. “Often they don’t have the culinary skills or the financial resources. Finances is the biggest barrier they face. Lots of people think the roads are paved with gold and the government hands out money.” While there are government grants available to entrepreneurs, often they will have to take second jobs to help finance their business, Fleming said, adding a restaurant idea might turn into a catering business. LEF offers two free components to its Emerging Entrepreneur Program: a two-week course testing the viability of an idea, making

tweaks and adjustments along the way, followed by a six-week program that involves taking their research and building a business plan. The entrepreneurs come from across the globe, Fleming said, adding her program has seen large numbers of participants from Central and South America, Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. “We have one engineer whose family has a clothing business in Pakistan and his family wants to sell their goods here,” Fleming said. “There is definitely family pressure.” Participants in the Emerging Entrepreneur Program will go on trips to Toronto Reference Library to get help with research, and LEF will bring in accountants, lawyers and mentors to help budding >>>newcomers, page 45

n 2003, when Carolina Velez immigrated to Toronto from her native Colombia she had dreams of making her mark on corporate Canada. A 21-year-old armed with a business degree from a top-tier Colombian business school, she didn’t know her lack of Canadian experience would hold her back from climbing the corporate ladder. She’d spend the next eight years toiling in reception and clerical jobs, for which she was over-qualified, at companies where she had no real chance of advancement. “I’m not sure if things have changed for professional immigrants now, but for me it was very difficult because I didn’t have the experience (Canadian companies) wanted. I thought I was going to be able to find a managerial position Carolina Velez launched a now-successful business importing exotic fruit like this pitahaya.

like all my friends from university, who started working right away with multi-nationals in Colombia,” said Velez, who studied economics and international business at Icesi University, one of Colombia’s top-tier business schools.

“

Even if you’re not finding your way right away, don’t give up. Follow your dreams and your passions and everything else will follow. – carolina velez

“I thought I was going to have the same luck here in Canada, but that was far from reality, so I started thinking, if nobody’s going to hire me to be a manager, I will hire myself.” So in October 2011 the entrepreneurial seed for ColombiaExotic – Velez’s now-thriving import company dealing in exotic fruits from Colombia – was planted. Velez was struck by inspiration in the form of a spiky yellow fruit from back home. “I was assisting at a business match-making forum

in Toronto organized by the Government of Colombia and we were sent a basket with a bunch of fruit. When I tried the yellow pitahaya, I fell in love with it, it was fantastic,” said Velez of the fruit that would become the cornerstone of her start-up, which she describes as a “sweeter, more delicate

and refreshing” version of the dragon fruit. “I was filled with all these ideas on how to market it. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t think about anything else. I wrote my business plan in a week.” While the business struggled in its fledgling years after

>>>from page 44 entrepreneurs in their quest for success, she said. As for how the city benefits from immigrant entrepreneurs, Fleming said if their business brings in even an extra $100 a month, it means they don’t need to rely on things like food banks. Started in 2013 as a pilot project, the Entrepreneur Connections program run by Access Employment has served about 90 people a year who are looking for ways to bring their business ideas to fruition on Canadian soil, said Irene Sihvonen, director of services and organizational development programs. “They learn about the market in Canada and develop and refine their business plan and idea,” she said. The free four-week program

touches on legal considerations when starting a business, employment standard law, Canadian workplace culture, networking and business communication, Sihvonen said, adding participants often arrive in the city without business contacts, which is critical for success.

“

Some need a business plan, access to grants and funding. But they all have passion for starting a business. – Surranna Sandy

While the entrepreneurs run the gamut from arts and entertainment, education, health and medicine, 66 per cent ran a business outside of Canada and most seek help

with learning how things are done in their new country, she said. “The lack of knowledge of the Canadian marketplace, the legal requirements, accessing loans and funds,” said Sihvonen of the areas participants need the most assistance with, adding if immigrant entrepreneurs are successful, that means new jobs for the city and a better economy. And Entrepreneur Connections participants have been successful, with 61 businesses registered and 37 generating sales, she said. Surranna Sandy, executive director of Skills for Change, said some of the immigrant entrepreneurs who access their programs have strong business ideas, while others aren’t so certain.

“Some need a business plan, access to grants and funding,” she said. “But they all have passion for starting a business.” Most of the entrepreneurs come from South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America and Mexico and arrived in Canada within three to six months of reaching out to Skills for Change, she said. The biggest barrier they face is accessing financial support, she said. “They don’t have the broader networks yet, the social connections,” she said. By creating jobs and generating incomes, immigrant entrepreneurs are contributing to the city’s economy, which is a win-win situation, Sandy said.

launching in 2012 – Velez’s parents even sold their car after the banks refused to give her a loan – the one-woman start-up has expanded nationwide and, last year, saw its sales double. With Loblaws as its primary customer, ColombiaExotic now imports six varieties of fruit to the grocery giant’s stores in Quebec, Ontario, Newfoundland and New Brunswick. In recognition of her company’s strides, which Velez still runs almost single-handedly, she was named as one of the city’s Most Promising Immigrant Entrepreneurs in 2013 by Connect Legal, a registered charity that aims to foster entrepreneurship in the immigrant community. She was also honoured in March as one of Canadian Im m i g ra n t m a g a z i n e’s Five Immigrant Women of Inspiration in a cover story intended to motivate other newcomer women to reach for their dreams. To fledgling entrepreneurs, Velez offers one simple piece of advice. “Even if you’re not finding your way right away, don’t give up. Follow your dreams and your passions and everything else will follow.” WHAT’S YOUR

CONSUMER FEATURE

It’s easy to feel at home in Mimico, a quiet commuter village by the lake, with a small town feel. The Wesley Mimico United Church, was built in between 1922 and 1924 on the corner of Mimico Avenue and Station Road to serve the growing Methodist congregation in Mimico. Over the years , the church housed the first gymnasium in the lakeshore area, and a number of other community service initiatives. Though the parish has been in decline for some years, Wesley Mimico United Church, along with Bells of Mimico and the Wesley Mimico Place Board of Directors, has found a new way to serve the community. Slated for occupation in 2016 is Wesley Mimico Place, which will restore the church, as well as include housing for seniors, a community centre and other facilities. The architect on the project is Robert Reimers, who is behind many churches and non-profit housing projects including Bethel Green Seniors Residence, another church conversion housing 19 units.

In Wesley Mimico Place, the 30 owner-occupied one, two, and three-bedroom suites are designed for seniors over 55. The building and neighbourhood provide a strong sense of community for seniors looking to downsize, while remaining independent. Residents can make full use of the lounge area, exercise room, private second floor terrace, gardens and meditation area, without the hassle of home maintenance. All around Wesley Mimico Place, shops, services, restaurants, and parks on Lake Ontario are a short walk away. Public bus service is right at the doorstep – about 20 minutes to the subway – and the Queen streetcar is steps away. Life Lease units occupy a space

somewhere between renting and owning. Owners have equity in their unit and have the right to occupy it for the rest of their lives. The modestly priced units will also help seniors stretch their budget well into retirement, as there is no HST or land transfer tax applied to Life Lease units unlike a condo. If you are considering downsizing from a single-family home to a more manageable unit, Wesley Mimico Place is offering a workshop in transitioning and decluttering on Saturday, June 13. Suites are now on sale. For more details on Wesley Mimco Place and the transitioning workshop visit the presentation centre at 2405 Lake Shore Blvd. W. Suite 403 or the website www.wesleymimico.org

New Contract for Waste Collection begins Wednesday, July 1 in Etobicoke

Stations to get Presto card readers The TTC plans to have almost half of its subway stations outfitted with Presto card readers as early as next month. By July, green Presto readers – nicknamed “nosejobs” by the TTC for their protruding nature – will be installed on subway turnstiles in 27 stations which riders can “tap on” with the fillable smartfare card to gain entry. SIGNS UNVEILED AT QUEEN’S PARK wROAD

TO in TRANSIT which will reserve access at prime hours of the day during the Games to Pan Am personnel and spectators. mcnicoll BUS GARAGE needs final approval Opponents of the TTC’s $160-million McNicoll bus garage proposal for north Scarborough need the intervention of Ontario’s environment minister if they are to stop the project. A provincial environment assessment (EA) for the plan was recently completed by the TTC and submitted to Glen Murray for final approval. The minister has a period of time to review, raise objections to the findings or approve the project. Opponents claim the bus garage, to be built near the intersection of Kennedy Road and McNicoll Avenue, will create serious health issues for local Chinese seniors

homes located nearby. Such concerns have already been dismissed by the Toronto Board of Health which did its own independent assessment of the project.

Miller Waste Systems (MWS) garbage trucks will be providing daytime curbside collection to properties located west of the Humber River.

PETITION SEEKS move of HUMBER LOOP wonline

Three-hundred and seventysix people endorsed an online petition seeking city funding for relocating the TTC Humber Loop transfer point south and creating a direct, dedicated streetcar rightof-way between St. Joseph’s Hospital and Exhibition Place. Our Place Initiative (OPI) hoped to get 500 names supporting the plan which is currently under study by the TTC following a city council decision from March. The group believes the plan will greatly improve streetcar service between Etobicoke and downtown.

You may notice different trucks in your neighbourhood, but there will be no change in service. Please remember: • Your current collection days remain the same. Continue to follow the schedule in your Collection Calendar. • All materials (garbage, recycling, organic materials, bulky items and yard waste) and collection methods remain the same. • Put out all waste by 7:00 a.m. as the time of collection may vary. • If materials have not been collected by 6:00 p.m. call 311. We appreciate your patience during this transition.
