Hospital receives news of funding during 40th anniversary celebrations TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Etobicoke General Hospital (EGH) will begin the procurement process next year to build a new fourstorey wing and expand its health services. Hospital officials received news Wednesday at their 40th anniversary celebration that the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care will fund the first phase of redevelopment of the hospital’s north Etobicoke site. Hospital officials estimate the

hospital’s redevelopment cost at $200 to $250 million, EGH President Matthew Anderson said in an interview. The hospital’s then-renovated emergency department and its Critical Care and Intensive Care Units will move to the new 217,000 square foot building, which will also house its fracture clinic, maternity and newborn care, day surgery, inpatient dialysis services, ambulatory clinics and new outpatient oncology facility. Expanded services will include >>>CITIZEN, page 10

Stonegate Community Health Centre is hoping to ensure more than 300 Parklawn area families have “wholesome and whole” dinners on the table this holiday season – but they need a little help to reach that goal. This year’s third annual Good Food Box Holiday Drive aims to match last year’s successful goal of $13,000 towards the purchase of baskets brimming with fresh, local and seasonal produce, said Julia Graham, Stonegate’s Food Access program co-ordinator. “It’s really sad that we need to set that target, but the number of people with food insecurity issues just keeps climbing. Every year, the number of people referred to us is increasing, which means there are more hunger issues,” she said, noting that poverty is a serious concern in the Stonegate community, where 28 per cent of families and 38 per cent of children are living in poverty. “For us, the Good Food Box Drive makes so much sense. A lot of the time, generous charities give out toys and turkeys around the holiday season, while the food bank gives out all the canned goods. But it’s that fresh produce that we like to ensure so that people can have a wholesome and whole meal to keep healthy.” Through FoodShare Toronto’s Good Food Box program – a nonprofit fresh fruit and vegetable distribution program of which Stonegate became a drop stop in January 2010 – Stonegate is able to spend just $18 >>>STONEGATE, page 10

long black hair (possibly a wig). He was last seen wearing a blue hoodie, a long striped t o p, b l a c k pants, and white-framed sunglasses, and was carrying a brown purse.

Time, money wasted on Mayor Ford’s subway dream

Community has a role in planning for emergencies

he damage caused this week by Hurricane Sandy and its after-effects to both Toronto and the American Atlantic coast should stand as a reminder to all residents of the importance of emergency preparedness. Whether we think of it or not, these episodes can be huge factors in defining community attributes or identifying community needs. And, as we head into a storm season, it presents a perfect opportunity for community organizations of all sides to impact their neighbourhoods, and provide a great public service. Resident associations can take our view a leading role in making sure their community members are Neighbours aware of the dangers they face due to high winds, heavy rains, need to care snow or other forces of nature. for each other The city should include those residents associations as a key part of emergency planning. One area of the city might be susceptible to flooding. Another area has the potential for toppled trees to create havoc. The potential problems are different for every neighbourhood – and emergency preparedness can be defined by neighbourhood as well. Local organizations are an excellent way to get street-level information out to the people who need it. Most residents associations already have street captains assigned to hand out newsletters and collect membership dues. They could also be the first sources on what steps need to be taken to prepare for or deal with emergencies. The street captains will also know of residents who have special needs that might be impacted by such things as a power outage, and can be used as resource by emergency officials. Residents groups can also take a proactive role in dealing with areas of potential danger. For instance, they should be charged with stressing the importance of keeping trees healthy and creating a list of potentially dangerous trees. And it might provide a significant and appreciated way for organizations to raise their profile and importance in the neighbourhoods of Toronto. Residents associations, community centres and local schools can all contribute to emergency planning. All of Toronto’s official organizations, including police, fire, EMS and hydro crews, did a great job in preparing for this week’s bad weather associated with Sandy. We can make that even better by using the great amount of knowledge and power held by our own resident associations. Toronto Community News is a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

To the editor: Mayor Rob Ford has made mountains of right-wing media coverage over his insistence the city is divided – the downtown versus the suburbs. If this is true, then a good mayor would focus on down playing this and addressing it, not expanding it and fueling the fire. The mayor must focus on getting transit to all areas of the city in an affordable and sustainable manner. Ford has done nothing but cry and shout ‘I want it my way.’ All he has done is waste time and money. Stop focusing on changing the agreements that were in place. Ford has wasted two years of construction time. Transit is a major economic ingredient and surface transit is a good way to open those stores that sit unused. Passengers on subways see blank walls whereas on the surface you see places to shop, eat and be entertained. Economic development is not an underground thing. Glenn Kitchen

Toronto casino both beneficial, detrimental

oronto’s city manager Joe Pennachetti has upped the ante on the question of whether to allow a casino in Toronto’s borders this week. In a report to Mayor Rob Ford’s Executive Committee which meets next week, Pennachetti indicates serious economic benefits to both Toronto as a whole, and more critically, the City of Toronto’s hungry coffers. As a whole, a big casino would create some jobs, and also threaten some jobs — particularly at the Woodbine Racetrack in Etobicoke — but on balance, create more than it destroyed. And with the right deal, Pennachetti says a large casino resort could all but eliminate the city’s structural deficit. If it’s located at the Canadian National Exhibition, and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming

THE CITY

david nickle

Corporation agrees to give Toronto a sweeter deal than other host municipalities, then it could bring in $200 million a year. And that is the range of Toronto’s structural deficit — which is to say, the difference between what it costs to run the city we want, and the conservative estimate of how much money the city can actually collect each year. It’s a compelling argument to raise, given that the city, less than a generation ago, rejected the idea of hosting a casino in a proper referendum. Will it be enough, to bring the tables and the slot

machines to Toronto? It’s tough to say. But one thing for sure is that Pennachetti has framed for Toronto councillors the most interesting kind of moral argument: one with no right solution. Because he’s right: if Toronto bargains hard and extracts a gold-plated deal with the Ontario government, gambling revenues can deliver to Toronto a balanced budget. That would mean that city services that residents value could be sustainably funded, transit could expand as needed rather than as politically expedient. City budget debates could be something other than the triage exercises they’ve become. And yet... that money will be coming from a tainted source: the pockets and savings and mortgages of people who cannot resist the temptation of those

tables, those slots. Casinos do best with the gamblers whose addiction causes them to give up their whole financial lives. It’s a choice that past and present provincial governments have already made, as they’ve built casinos in 24 communities around the province over the past few decades. Those revenues have become part of the bedrock of the Ontario government, and no government has dared look back. Toronto could dip into that pool as well. A great many Torontonians would benefit. A comparatively few number of Torontonians would suffer catastrophic loss. It’s a tough question – a moral question. One way or another, it’s a gamble. n David Nickle is The Guardian’s City Hall columnist. His column appears every Thursday.

U.S. political parties mine for votes in Toronto Democrats, Republicans urge dual citizens, expats to vote on Nov. 6 JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com While much of Canada will be watching raptly on Tuesday, Nov. 6 as U.S. voters decide whether Democrat Barack Obama or Republican Mitt Romney will lead their country for the next four years, some Canadians have more at stake in the election than others. For dual citizens and expats, particularly the members of Democrats Abroad and Republicans Abroad, the election will hold extra importance. Democrats Abroad Canada committee chair Allenna Leonard and Republicans Abroad Canada chair Mark Feigenbaum have been hard at work trying to urge people to turn in their ballots. “Our major effort is just to get out the vote,” Leonard said. “We have members from all 50 states so we’re making calls to members from all 50 states.” Feigenbaum noted that, even though the Democrats have traditionally gotten more of the youth vote, he and his organization are

more interested in seeing people of all stripes ensure their vote is counted. “I like to encourage people, even if they prefer the Democrats, to exercise their right to vote,” he said. “It seems strange to me that some of the people who are the most vocal and critical of the government are the same people who don’t exercise that right.” Both Leonard and Feigenbaum have reasons for supporting their candidate of choice. Naturally, the hot-button issue of health care was front-of-mind for both. Leonard said Obama’s plan to implement universal health care will provide huge benefits to all Americans, and most notably the most vulnerable. “We (at Democrats Abroad) really think the closer the U.S. health care system gets to Canada’s the better off (Americans) will be,” she said. “Governor Romney wants to dial things back to the 1950s and allow employers to determine what health care they’ll give to people.” Feigenbaum, however, disagreed with Leonard’s assessment. While he noted both sides are spouting

also prompt her to stick to her staunchly Democratic leanings. “The Democratic Party has led the way with respect to the role of women, supporting things like the Lilly Ledbetter (Fair Pay) Act that was an important anti-sex-discrimination act,” she said. While Leonard said the human rights examples set by the U.S. will naturally have a positive impact on Canada, Feigenbaum said a stronger U.S. economy – which he believes Republican candidate Mitt Romney will deliver – will also provide benefits north of the 49th parallel. “Canadians fare better when the economy’s better in the U.S.,” he said. “When the U.S. has a stronger economy, they’re much stronger trade partners and that helps Canada.” With politics sometimes boiling down to a popularity contest in the minds of some voters, both Feigenbaum and Leonard suggested their candidates would make good choices for voters. “I’ve been reading all sorts of things where people are trying to discredit Mitt Romney, but I’ve met him and he’s actually a very, very nice

rhetoric that muddies the issue, he said a Canadian-style health care system would be less than ideal. “Some people see Canada as this great bastion of health care, but I’ve seen examples where it definitely doesn’t provide that great health care,” he said. “It’s not this panacea that some people make it out to be.” Feigenbaum noted that, as a crossborder tax lawyer, he is concerned over tax implications for Americans living abroad. “For U.S. citizens living in Canada, as long as the U.S. tax rates are lower than Canada’s, we don’t pay extra taxes,” he said. For Leonard, social and environmental issues rank higher on the scale. She said the Republican side has a large number of climate change deniers whereas Barack Obama is more aware of environmental issues. “(The Republicans) are more interested in getting every last dollar out of the resource sector than protecting people from environmental damage,” she said. Leonard added women’s issues

person,” Feigenbaum said. Leonard noted that, according to the polls, many Americans disagree. “(Obama’s) likeability factor has been higher than Governor Romney’s for a while,” she said. Both Leonard and Feigenbaum expect the Nov. 6 election to be hotlycontested to the end. Leonard, who grew up in Pennsylvania, decried newly implemented voter ID laws that could see many shut out at the polls. “Republican efforts at voter suppression have been a big issue,” she said. “You need a driver’s license or passport to vote in Pennsylvania and a lot of people in the cities don’t have those.” Feigenbaum said he will be curious to see what happens in the many swing states, particularly in Florida, which has seen its number of electoral college votes increased from 22 to 29 following demographic shifts. “I’ve seen a lot of math done with President Obama winning and a lot of math done with Governor Romney winning,” he said. “I think it’s going to be amazing to watch. It’s definitely not going to be a landslide.”

Second, I’ll actually make money on this in the long run anyway. Most people who sample my service like it so much they use me again at my normal prices (which, by the way, are great compared to my competition). So, both of us win. You’ll just win sooner than I will. Anyway, doesn’t it just make sense to get this service so your family doesn’t have to live with the uncertainty of an unsafe furnace?

It’s easy just call Veronica my dispatcher and she will schedule a “Champion Technician” to your home.

Citizen feedback important to make experience better >>>from page 1 specialized physiotherapy and occupational therapy services for seniors, as well as improved access to outpatient clinics and services, including mental health services. That significant investment is in addition to a $4.2 million renovation of existing areas in the past two years, including the laboratory, day surgery and diagnostic cardiology units. Provincial government redevelopment funding is particularly welcome news to the hospital’s emergency department, said Dr. Naveed Mohammad, vice-president of medical affairs, former EGH site corporate chief of emergency medicine and an ER doctor at the hospital since 1997. Etobicoke General treated 33,000 patients per year in its emergency department when it opened in 1972. This year, it will see more than 80,000 patients, Mohammad said. Yet, the hospital’s emergency department wait times remain better than the provincial targets, in fact, better

than the provincial average, Mohammad reported. Last month, the hospital added more ER doctor hours to assist patient volumes and wait times. “Success is not always measured by data and wait times,” Mohammad said. “It’s about commitment, passion, compassion and teamwork, all exhibited by talented individuals providing excellent care.” Mohammad recalled how emergency department staff took in employees at a local bakery for carbon monoxide and ammonia exposure minutes before receiving all the passengers from Air France Flight 358 that overshot the runway at Pearson International Airport on Aug. 2, 2005. All patients were seen and treated between 5 p.m. and 2 a.m. the next morning, he said. In 2003, EGH officials received eight-days’ notice, Mohammad said, it would become one of the SARS (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome) hospitals. Officials converted its emergency

Beginning at 11:00 P.M. on Friday November 2, 2012, Bridgeland Avenue will be fully closed to all traffic, and at 12:00 midnight, the Hwy 401 Eastbound Collector off ramp to Dufferin Street & Yorkdale will also be fully closed. This is to complete the Rapid Bridge Replacement work (at Bridgeland Avenue) as part of the Ministry of Transportation Contract 2012-2010. These full road closures are anticipated to be in effect until 5.00 A.M. on Monday November 5, 2012. As a result, Bridgeland Avenue will be fully closed off with no traffic or pedestrian access from the Dufferin Street intersection to the West entrance of the Holiday Inn on Bridgeland Avenue. Bridgeland Avenue will also be fully closed off at Caledonia Road with access only to local businesses. Advance warning signs and detour routes will be in effect for any full closures of the above roads. The Detour Route for Bridgeland Avenue, from the west end, will be via Caledonia Road to Cartwright Avenue. The Detour Route for Bridgeland Avenue, from the east end, will be Dufferin Street south via Cartwright Avenue to Caledonia Road. The Detour Route for the Highway #401 Eastbound Collector off-ramp to Dufferin Street & Yorkdale will be via Allen Road Expressway to Lawrence Avenue. Lane closure information can be found on MTO’s web site at: www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/trip/road_closures.shtml The Contractor is Brennan Paving and Construction Ltd.

For further information, please contact Abby Gaffar at 416-781-0005. We ask area residents and businesses to be patient while we work on these improvements and apologize in advance for any disruption this work may have caused.

people who work here; the volunteers and all the staff,” Anderson said. “Yes, we need a new building. We need new facilities. We always need to upgrade our equipment. But

at the end of the day, none of those things make a hospital. It’s the people who work here who make a hospital. “They still hold the same values, traditions and focus

that built this hospital back in 1972.” The Ontario Hospital Association has recognized the hospital’s patient discharge follow-up telephone survey as a best practice. The emergency department’s use of iPads to capture patient satisfaction information upon discharge has been recognized as a “leading practice” by Accreditation Canada. “We take feedback from citizens on how we can make (their hospital experience) better,” Arun Sharma, chair of EGH’s Citizen Advisory Panel said in an interview. Officials unveiled a giant mosaic comprised of 600 colourful messages from area school children and former patients thanking the hospital for its care, to be displayed outside the Intensive Care Unit on the hospital’s first floor. A “t r a n s f o r m a t i o n a l moment” in its history is how Ken Mayhew, president and CEO of William Osler Health System Foundation, described EGH’s future redevelopment.

Stonegate looking for community support to match last year’s goal >>>from page 1 to buy a family in need a large size basket (about three grocery bags full) brimming with fresh fruits and vegetables as a gift for the holidays. A $50 donation provides Good Food Boxes to three families in need; a $100 donation provides for six families in need; and a $250 donation provides for 15 families in need. With last year’s final tally of $13,000 raised, Stonegate was able to not only purchase nearly 300 holiday boxes, but also set aside enough funds for the purchase of 50 additional boxes that were distributed throughout the year to families in need, as well as $5,000 towards their market voucher program, whereby ‘market money’ is given out to families with food insecurity issues for use at the Stonegate Farmers’ Market. To help match that goal again this year, Graham and the Stonegate CHC community is calling upon local businesses, community services and residents to sponsor one or more boxes, giving less fortunate families access to

SECURE IN SOCCER: Twice is certainly nice for the Royal York Football Club (RYFC) U16 boys. The team won its division for the second outdoor season in a row. The boys had 13 wins and one tie scoring 50 goals and five against. They have gone undefeated in 29 league games over the past two seasons. Coaching staff attributes the team’s repeated success to hard work, dedication and a great team dynamic. By training five days a week, the boys were promoted to the Central Soccer League this season. The training paid off with the boys leading the division from start to finish. Team members include Brendan Dinis, Marko Milanovic, Leo Lewin, Matthew Torrado, Ethan Tam, Austin Dos Anjos, Adrian Dasko, Trae Williams, Nick Marcon, Michael Mastromarco, Junas Arnaiz, Steven Lin, Rocco Rossi, Lambros Tetoros, Mario Simonjiski, Trey Jones-Donald and Djordje Doslo.

City

Toronto will benefit if it approves a casino: report DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com If Toronto could extract the right deal from the

Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), revenues from a casino in downtown Toronto could permanently fill Toronto’s structural deficit. That was the word Monday from Toronto’s C i t y Ma n a g e r Jo e Pennachetti, following the release of his report on the economic impact of a casino on Toronto’s economy. The report will be going to Mayor Rob Ford’s Executive Committee Nov. 5 and from there will likely be public consultations before council finally deals with the question of whether to allow casino gambling – probably in February or March. For now, however, Pennachetti has laid out a case for a casino in Toronto so long as the OLG is willing to sweeten the pot with higher-than-usual hosting fees. “There are issues that council has to decide on related to social and health impacts,” said Pennachetti, speaking with reporters Monday. “But if the hosting fees and the property tax revenues are anywhere near the potential of a change in formula, the fiscal benefits to the city would be significant enough to virtually solve our operating

fiscal sustainability budget problem.” Whether the city can negotiate higher-than-usual fees with the OLG is an open question, but Pennachetti argues in his report that a full-scale entertainment complex in the right place could generate as much money as all of the other 24 gaming venues operated by the OLG combined. The OLG pays a hosting fee to those municipalities. Pennachetti is arguing that because of the amount of revenue OLG could expect from a Toronto casino, it should adjust its hosting fee accordingly — up to $168 million a year. He said, however, there are social costs to hosting a casino and said council would ultimately have to weigh that before approving a casino. But in his report, he concluded given that OLG is committed to building a casino somewhere in the GTA, a location in Toronto would mean council would have some control of the way the casino was implemented. “If a casino is located... outside Toronto, the city would have less ability to shape the development proposal and would not participate in any revenue sharing,” the report reads. “Toronto residents and businesses would, however, still be subject to broader impacts associated with problem gambling, increased traffic and competition for discretionary entertainment expenditures.”
