“

People who use food banks are the same as you and me.”

– Gail Nyberg, executive director of the Daily Bread Food Bank

Debunking

the food bank myth LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com There exists a myth that those who rely on food banks are lazy or have made bad choices.

This is absolutely not the case, stress leaders in the fight against hunger, not only in Toronto, but across the country.

“People who use food banks are the same as you and me.

They’re people who have experienced job loss, sickness, or mental breakdown. It can happen to any of us,” said Gail Nyberg, executive director of the Daily Bread Food Bank, the largest provider of food relief in the Greater Toronto Area. “We’re here to give them a hand while they’re down and get them back on their feet.”

The Etobicoke-based distribution centre that provides food and resources to as many as 200 food programs across Toronto distributes 600,000 hampers

a month to its member agencies – one third of those in need are children, Nyberg said. The registered charity’s latest ‘Who’s Hungry’ report that looks at the past year will be released in September.

“We know we’re starting to see a dramatic increase (in food bank use). This replicates what we’re seeing in the economy: precarious jobs, part-time and contract; retail outlets closing and plants shutting down,” Nyberg said.

People who have lost their jobs typically don’t fall into dire straights immediately, particularly if they qualify for Employment Insurance. Food banks are accessible once a week to receive two to three days’ worth of food for each member of the family.

“We’re in our lean time now, too. We don’t get a lot of donations,” Nyberg said. >>>straining, page 8

Ford Fest will continue for the first time without Rob Ford CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.co Ford Fest will continue on without Rob Ford.

The free annual barbecue and celebration, hosted by the family of late former mayor Rob Ford for the last 20 years, will return to its roots in Etobicoke

tomorrow at 6 p.m.

“It’s just nice to have the community come together once a year and have a lot of fun and great live music,” Ford’s brother, former Etobicoke North councillor Doug Ford, said in an interview with media, announcing the return of Ford Fest.

“Everything’s free, everyone’s

Everything is free and everyone is invited: Doug Ford invited. There’s no invitations, it’s open to the public and we look forward to seeing every-

one and sharing some great memories of Rob.” This year’s event, which marks the first since Ford’s passing from cancer in March, will take place back where it first began two decades ago – at the home of Ford family matriarch, Diane Ford, at 15 Weston Wood Rd.

Songs and stories of survival to support SickKids Saturday night’s fundrasier takes place at Humber College’s Lakeshore campus CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Music lovers are invited to a unique singer-songwriter concert this weekend in Etobicoke supporting the Department of Rheumatology at the Hospital for Sick Children.

Spearheaded by Etobicoke’s Kristen Vecchio, the “magical” event was organized as a way for her to give back to the team at SickKids who have been taking care of her seven-yearold daughter Jessica since her diagnosis with Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) at just 20 months old.

“SickKids is like a second family away from home to us. They’ve come to know us inside and out, and they have gone above and beyond anything we could have ever asked from a hospital,” Vecchio said of her family’s years-long relationship with the “incredible” rheumatology team at SickKids, including Jessica’s physical therapist Kristi Whitney and physician Dr. Bonnie Cameron.

“They have always included Jessica in her health-care deci-

sions – from sitting her down and showing her how to read her X-rays, to talking to her about why the medication she takes is so important...

That’s why it’s so important for us to give back.”

Now an active second grader at St. Ambrose Catholic School, Jessica is a life-long music lover who hasn’t let her JIA diagnosis – nor the painful intra-articular steroid joint injections or weekly immune suppressant injections that have come with it – slow her down.

“Music, for Jessica, has been there both in the best of times and in the worst of times. It’s kind of been her therapy,” Vecchio said.

In addition to her newfound passion for cheerleading, the outgoing seven year old also enjoys writing her own music, and singing and performing for others – all talents she’s hoping to showcase as the honourary MC at this weekend’s Singer Songwriter Tell All. The Singer Songwriter Tell All concert will be held on Saturday from 7 to

Childhood cancer research to benefit from yard sale TAmARA SHEpHARd tshephard@insidetoronto.com Agnes Potts raised $60,000 over 20 years for Youth Without Shelter through her popular, annual giant yard sale.

Potts hung up her garage sale shingle a few years ago.

Then her two-year-old granddaughter, Emily, was diagnosed with leukemia.

Emily’s cancer battle moved Potts, 72, to raise awareness of, and funds for, childhood cancer research by resurrecting her giant sale which will be held on Saturday, Sept.

17 starting at 9 a.m. at 4 Wingrove Hill. Proceeds will benefit Childhood Cancer Canada.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

“Emily has endured more in the past two years than most will endure in a lifetime

– chemotherapy, surgery, lumbar punctures, leg casts, MRIs, hair loss, nausea, headaches, etc.,” Potts wrote in a letter sent to family, friends and neighbours.

“Although the success rate of childhood cancer has improved, the long and invasive treatment has not.”

Potts shared a statistic from Childhood Cancer Canada: Only three per cent of all cancer research funding is devoted to childhood cancer.

Support childhood cancer research by donating items to Potts’ sale, shopping, or coming out to support and meet Emily. If Emily is well enough, she and her sisters will run the lemonade stand and sell Hero 4Kids bracelets.

Call Potts at 416-233-7777 to donate or for more information.

A fundraiser will take place at Humber College this weekend to support the Department of Rheumatology at the Hospital for Sick Children. It's a way for mom Kristen Vecchio to give back to the team of caregivers at SickKids who have been taking care of her seven-year-old daughter Jessica – a life-long music lover – since her diagnosis with Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) at just 20 months old.

10:30 p.m. at the Humber College Lakeshore Campus Auditorium, 3199 Lake Shore Blvd. W., featuring performances by Canadian

Idol winner Theo Tams, First Lady of Canadian Hip-Hop Michie Mee, hockey-playerturned-singer Jonathan Roy (son of Hockey Hall of Fame

goaltender Patrick Roy), and The Fourth Floor’s Rob Wells, a multi-platinum, awardwinning producer/songwriter who’s worked with Justin

Bieber and Ariana Grande, among others.

“The format will be a singer-songwriter circle, where the artists will basically take turns telling their story of a difficult or happy time that inspired them to write a particular song,” Vecchio explained.

“They’ll tell us how the idea for that song was developed, what was happening at that time in their lives that made them write that song, then they’ll perform the song.”

There will also be some special surprise performers and a silent auction, with all proceeds supporting arthritis research at SickKids.

The end result, Vecchio added, is sure to prove an “inspiring and uplifting” evening for all in attendance.

“It’ll definitely leave every guest with the feeling that, even in difficult times, beauty can be found everywhere and that they aren’t alone,” she said.

Motorists reminded to be vigilant as school returns TAmARA SHEpHARd tshephard@insidetoronto.com Tuesday’s first day of school brought instruction not only for students and teachers, but also for drivers and parents.

Toronto police are reminding drivers to be aware of school zones, including speed limits, as well as noparking and no-stopping restrictions.

Before school Tuesday, officers clocked one driver at 72 km/h in the 40 km/h school zone on Birmingham Street near Second Street Junior Middle School in south Etobicoke.

The driver faces a $323 fine and four demerit points.

Speeding is the number one driving offence enforced year-round by Toronto police, reported Const. Clint Stibbe with traffic services.

Are You Focused on

SAfETY fIRST

Dan Pearce/MetrolanD

Const. Brian Horton pulls over a driver for speeding in front of Second Street Junior Middle School on the first day of school Tuesday.

School, Toronto police’s traffic campaign, runs until Friday.

“We’re focused on speeding, pedestrian crossings,

drivers who double park in no-stopping and no-standing zones, and stop signs to ensure the area is safe for children,” Stibbe said.

“Are you FOCUSED on school” (Frequent Offences the Community and road Users See Every Day) is a Toronto police initiative lasting throughout this week.

All Toronto police officers and parking enforcement officers will be paying attention to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians who commit offences in the vicinity of school zones, including offences related to pedestrian crossovers, crosswalks, intersections and highrisk mid-block crossing.

The need for food banks still growing

WRitE uS

T

he week of Sept. 19 to 23 has been designated as Hunger Awareness Week in Canada, and it’s a time for all residents to think about and take steps to help deal with what is a growing need across our country, and especially in Toronto.

In our feature story in today’s editions, we look at the challenges facing food banks in our city as they deal with an increasing number of clients.

Gail Nyberg, executive director of the Daily Bread Food Bank, rightly points out, though, that hunger is not just a week in September. It’s a reality for a lot of families in our city, and the users of food banks come from a wide range of our population.

“We know we’re starting to see a dramatic increase (in food bank use),” Nyberg told Metroland Media Toronto. “This replicates what we’re seeing in the economy; precarious jobs, part-time and contract, retail outlets closing and plants OuR ViEW shutting down.”

Ryan Noble, executive director Food security of the North York Harvest Food Bank, said his organization disan issue across tributed more than 2.3 million pounds of food last year through our country 77 community organizations it partners with. He pointed out that Toronto’s booming real estate market coupled with stagnant wages is one of the reasons for such need.

Basically, the cost of keeping a home in this city is becoming so high for some people that they are forced to turn to food banks when the money has run out for the month. That’s a scary scenario that should be a warning for all Torontonians as it highlights a growing gap between those who can and cannot afford to live in this city.

That being said, it’s clearly more than just a “Toronto problem” as food bank use across Canada has grown by 26 per cent since 2008, according to Pam Jolliffe, interim executive director of Food Banks Canada. What’s sad about this is that when food banks first began to pop up in Canada 30 or so years ago to help deal with the recession of the early 1980s, they were seen as temporary and would not be needed once the economy rebounded.

Sadly, that’s not the case and we need a hard national look at what poverty and food insecurity means in Canada and how we are going to address it.

column

Amalgamated Toronto was born in austerity Every so often it sneaks up on you and smacks you in the ear: Toronto, at least the amalgamated one we live in now, was founded on a myth of nothing grander than austerity.

The provincial government forced the amalgamation of the five cities and a borough with old Metro Council with the promise to save tax dollars.

Mel Lastman, the first mayor, got elected with the promise to freeze property taxes. Toronto’s newly elected council argued for a while whether it made sense to move from Metro Hall into Toronto City Hall, then once they moved spent considerable time arguing about selling Metro Hall.

Twice-weekly garbage collection in North York became a distant memory.

Free recreation programs in the old City of Toronto became unaffordable and the city started charging for them.

And, as we were

david nickle the city reminded Tuesday morning at the September Government Management Committee, the old City of Toronto’s gift shop closed its tiny doors.

I was there at the time and barely recall the decision. Pam McConnell, who was among the 56 councillors who made up the first amalgamated Toronto Council and prior to that had sat on the old Toronto Council, said that it was cut by then-budget chief Tom Jakobek, as an unaffordable frivolity. The gift shop was another casualty of the dour mindset into which young Toronto was born.

Well, frivolity has come back into vogue under Toronto’s fourth mayor, John Tory – and on Tuesday, the committee voted to see what it would take to open another shop for tourists at City Hall.

It’s fair to say they supported Councillor Mary Margaret McMahon’s idea with a fair bit of enthusiasm.

Why shouldn’t they?

Toronto’s wildly overbudget renovation of Nathan Phillips Square has proven to be a hit with the tourists – aided by the considerably less-costly giant glowing TORONTO sign that landed on the north side of the skating rink / reflecting pond thanks to the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games. And our weird old City Hall itself is both a civic and a science fiction icon; the now 50-year-old Star Trek television series used postcard images of the two curving towers and saucer-shaped council chamber as backdrops in more than one episode.

A gift shop is the least that City Hall should have, and maybe it will have a bit more. Just under a year ago, Toronto councillors approved a plan to look into building a modestly

scaled municipal museum at the eventually liberated Old City Hall just across the road. A bit further afield, councillors will soon be setting the wheels in motion to build a fantastically expensive park near King and Spadina, and another one on Richmond Street.

Austerity, at least for the moment, seems a thing of the distant past.

It won’t, of course, stay that way for long, as the city gets back to the quotidian business of budget-setting.

Mayor Tory is asking for big cuts to spending across the board – 2.6 per cent – in service of an old-fashioned inflationary property tax increase.

And that means that however weary we might be, of a city limited by austerity – that is the place we will be heading again, before we know it.

special report

Straining the food bank system >>>from page 1 Campaigns, such as Hunger Awareness Week, which takes place Sept. 19 to 23, help bring attention to the issue of hunger in Canada, and sees food banks across the country hosting events to highlight the work they do and the experiences of Canadians who are assisted by them.

Yet, hunger, pointed out Nyberg, is not just a week in September, it’s here all year.

She encourages everyone to make a food donation by dropping off items at the nearest fire hall or grocery store.

Daily Bread also benefits from companies like Loblaws that have strict rules regarding expiry dates. Food that gets turned away from chain stores can go to food banks, Nyberg said.

The North York Harvest Food Bank is the primary food bank for northern Toronto.

Last year, it distributed more than 2.3 million pounds of through 77 community programs.

Since the recession in 2008, food bank use in the inner suburbs has increased by 45 per cent, according to executive director Ryan Noble. He points to the high cost of real estate coupled with stagnant wages and fewer employment opportunities as some of the reasons for the increase.

“People find themselves in food insecurity because of job insecurity. We live in a very rich city in terms of financial and food,” he said. “It’s when housing systems and job systems break down that there’s a problem.”

Food bank users are getting a small supply of food so that their money can stretch further, Noble said. For the average user, once rent and utilities are paid for, all that’s left is $4.51 a day, he said.

Through its partner agencies, North York Harvest Food Bank also provides clients with further support, such as job skills, settlement services, and housing.

The food bank, Noble said, “gives us a captive audience to understand what the root causes (of poverty) are.”

The food that is needed at food banks is the same that families want to serve at their dinner table. It’s healthy, low sodium, low sugar, and protein-packed.

“There’s a lot of food insecurity awareness around fall and Christmas,” Noble said.

That’s why September’s Hunger Awareness Week is timely and important.

“It helps raise awareness before we enter our busy season,” Noble said.

Pam Jolliffe, interim executive director of Food Banks Canada, a national charitable organization that supports a network of provincial associations, affiliate food banks, and food agencies working at the community level to relieve hunger, said hunger is a symptom of people living in poverty.

“It’s a persistent problem – unacceptable in a country like Canada,” Jolliffe said.

“Most food banks started 30 years ago as a short-term solution. Unfortunately, they’re still here many years later.”

Overall, food bank use has increased by 26 per cent since 2008.

Alberta is suffering economic difficulty because of the sputtering oil and gas industry.

So many Albertans are out of work, Jolliffe said.

The government has been taking steps to help families out of poverty, she said, citing the new child tax credit, and changes in support to seniors, as well as the ‘Canadian Poverty Reduction’ strategy; however, more steps can be made.

“We need Canadians to speak up, to press the government for better policies,” Jolliffe said.

CONSUMER FEATURE

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.”

Before You Spend Thousands on a New Roof…

The Integrity Roof System

What Risks Do You Face?

According to the Better Business Bureau, which tracks the ‘reputable’ roofing companies, roofing is at or near the top of the list for customer enquiries and complaints for the last five years in a row. Homeowners with limited experience in roof replacement rely on the roofing contractor to recommend the proper specifications. This process becomes confusing because there is no regulation in the industry, and each contractor recommends a different job.

What you should know about roof surface or roof deck preparation: The roof deck is the structural surface over which your roofing materials are applied. All roof boards and/or plywood must be fastened securely to the rafters, and damaged or rotten wood must be replaced. Your attic should be inspected before the work starts to uncover potential problems.

A bad roof surface allows the nails to push up through the shingles, causing leaks.

What you should know about underlayment: A complete underlay system should be applied before your shingles are installed. There are two types of roofing underlay, waterproof and water resistant. Waterproof underlay is needed in areas most vulnerable to leaks: the eaves edge of the roof; in valleys, at dormer sides, around chimneys and around skylights. Water resistant underlay, often called “tar paper”, is needed on the remaining roof area. Water resistant underlay protects the roof surface in a storm situation where a few shingles blow off, but cannot be replaced immediately.

What you should know about ventilation: Improper attic venting is a common cause of early shingle failure, and your product warranty requires that your attic have proper ventilation. Venting consists of intake and exhaust. To facilitate proper air flow, your attic needs intake vents located in the overhang and exhaust vents at the roof peak. A balanced venting system is required; otherwise air will be pulled from your house.

An inspection of your attic is essential to present appropriate and complete venting solutions.

What you should know about shingle quality: All shingles are not the same. Estimators should include at least three grades of shingles and inform you of the real expected shingle life. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, better quality shingles often provide you with the

Mark Hamill, Stan Lee and other celebrities come together for Fan Expo Canada Cynthia Reason creason@insidetoronto.com R2-D2 and his stormtrooper friends helped usher thousands of costumed Fan Expo Canada enthusiasts into this country’s largest comics, sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming event in Toronto over the Labour Day weekend.

The four-day, star-studded event kicked off Thursday, Sept. 1 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC).

“We’re ready to take over Toronto this Labour Day weekend. We’ve got Mark Hamill with us this year, and we’ve got Stan Lee making his final appearance here in Canada,” said 501st Legion and Fan Expo Canada’s show director Andrew Moyes of two of this year’s special guests – Luke Skywalker himself, as well as Marvel Comics legend Lee. “It really is always a very exciting time to come together and celebrate fandom. So welcome to Fan Expo 2016. Doors are open!”

More than 140,000 fans were expected to pack the MTCC. Lee – the 93-year-old creator of iconic characters such as the X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Avengers, Incredible Hulk and countless others – will be making this year’s Fan Expo in Toronto his last public appearance in Canada.

“I’ve had the pleasure of participating in Fan Expo Canada over

only truly possible with the support of the fans – and Toronto has some of the best.”

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids?

For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behind­ the­ear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak.

Whether at work, during conversations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience problems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can impair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.

Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of Swiss manufacturer Phonak, presents the new Virto V hearing aids.

There are many reasons for this but most people are not convinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or they feel unease about attracting atten­ tion by wearing a visible hearing aid.

Virtual function of the ear

This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manu­ factured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a custom­fit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.

“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech under­ standing, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a custom­fit solution.

Improve your speech comprehension at work – without attracting attention.

See how the virtually invisible Virto V fits into your daily routine.

If you are interested in finding out more about these new hearing aids, the first step is to a book hearing evaluation and determine if the new Virto V technology is the right solution for you.

For those who are hard of hearing, this can be particularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet in­the­canal hearing solutions.

Thomas Fisher’s mill and raceway is pictuered here at Lambton Mills in 1868.

Fisher mill saw years of success Mills were an essential element of life in early Upper Canada, and the Humber River was blessed with many good mill sites, including two in Etobicoke operated

by Thomas Fisher.

Born in Yorkshire in 1792 to a well-off family, Thomas came to Canada circa 1820 with money to invest. His wife, Sarah, joined him in 1821 with their children.

In 1822 Thomas leased the government-owned King’s Mill on the west side of the Humber River at today’s Old Mill Road. Under his management, the mill became profitable for the first time since it was built in 1793.

In 1834 the government sold the King’s Mill to William Gamble, another local miller.

As compensation, Thomas received a 20-hectare lot on the west bank of the Humber, south of Government Road, in Lambton Mills.

Thomas immediately started construction on his new home, ‘Millwood’. He built a two-storey frame grist mill first, followed by a two-storey Georgian house

denise harris history corner of rough-cast stucco, overlooking the mill.

After a fire in 1849, the mill was rebuilt for £3,000 as a five-storey building. The first two storeys were stone and the upper three were frame. Fisher gave a share of the business to his eldest son Edwin Colley Fisher, and it was profitable every year until 1857.

Low grain prices resulted in liens being put on the property that were called in and the mill was sold to Edwin’s father-in-law. Thomas managed the mill for one more year, then turned it over to Edwin. Thereafter Thomas and Sarah lived part of the year at Millwood and part with their daughter Elizabeth Whitney in Toronto. Sarah died at Elizabeth’s home in 1873, as did Thomas in 1874.

Edwin encountered a string of difficulties, including insect infestations that ruined farmers’ grain and low water

levels in the Humber. By 1871, Edwin had stopped operating the mill and was farming.

After Edwin died in 1879, the property was sold and turned into a woolen factory. It had several owners before burning down in 1901.

Today, traces of Fisher’s mill and raceway can still be found in the undergrowth at the base of the valley wall, west of Home Smith Park Road, about half a kilometre south of Dundas. In 1963, Millwood house was bought

by Sidney Thompson Fisher, Thomas’ great grandson.

Too decayed to restore, he planned to build an exact replica on the same site to use as a museum about the Humber. After encountering insurmountable barriers, the Fisher family instead built the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto to honour their ancestor.

There is nothing funnier than the truth, says comedian Ann Pornel, particularly in a year when Donald Trump is vying for president, the world is in the midst of Pokémon Go mania, and racial intolerance is part of a regular news day.

Rather than steering clear of controversial issues, The Second City Mainstage Revue, ‘Come What Mayhem,’ a satirical sketch comedy revue that debuted last month, boldly points a spotlight on such subjects as the Black Lives Matter movement – inspired by its Pride Toronto protest – internet trolls, and obesity, among a variety of other topics.

“2016 has been insane – even last year as well. The world is at a point where things will change – for better or worse,” Pornel said. “The world looks pretty bleak right now, but we’re trying to find the funny.”

It’s a dark show as far as

The Second City’s Ann Pornel performs as part of its Mainstage Revue, ‘Come What Mayhem,’ a satirical sketch comedy.

its subject matter goes, yet Pornel said she and her castmates have “done a good job of showing the world as we see it.”

“There’s so much to talk about whatever your experience,” Pornel said.

Pornel, who grew up in the High Park area and moved to Mount Dennis as a teen, is a graduate of the Second City Conservatory Program.

She is a Canadian Comedy

Award nominee for her role in the Toronto sketch troupe ‘The Sketchersons’ and was a performer in NBC’s ‘Break Out Comedy Festival.’

She discovered sketch comedy while pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Toronto.

“I was looking for something to do that wasn’t super academic, to relax a bit,” Pornel recalled. “I was in residence my first year and everyone was auditioning for this sketch show. I thought, ‘Yeah, I’ll show up.’”

Pornel was no stranger to performing. She was involved in musical theatre in high school and being an only child, she said she loved attention. Born in the Philippines, she moved with her parents to Toronto when she was five.

Come What Mayhem is staged at 51 Mercer St. Tickets start at $25.

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.

“I have sold property as a dIrect result of your publIcatIon” I ran an ad in the Etobicoke Guardian on August 25, and shortly after it came out I got a call from another agent. The agent said “Guess how we found this place? My client saw your ad in the Guardian and she was not even looking for a condo.

The interior photos caught her attention and she went to see the property and bought it! All within five days! ”

SPECIAL RETIREES' HEARING AID! A new hearing aid offer has been introduced for retirees. The hearing aid is a great value, simple to operate and brings IMPROVED hearing to thousands!

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available.

The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments.

Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear.

Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing.

Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to reduce the

strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids.

Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings.

A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Call now to book your FREE hearing test!

Etobicoke | 135 Queens Plate Drive, Suite 555 Call Bella at

1-888-504-8471

Hearing tests are provided free of charge for adults ages 18 and older. Some conditions may apply.

Please see clinic for details.

Judi Barr demonstrates how to document a cab’s identification number during a media conference held recently at city hall under the auspices of the Toronto Taxi Alliance. The group is launching a new complaints process as well as a driver training program in partnership with Centennial College.

Taxi industry group wants passengers to report drivers’ good and bad behaviour taxi alliance launches driver training course with centennial college RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Toronto’s largest cab brokerages are asking passengers to report their complaints about driver behaviour.

The Point and Click campaign, announced recently encourages taxi passengers in the case of a dispute to take a photo of the taxi number, found on a vehicle’s front doors, rear bumper and inside the cab on the city-mandated tariff report, and email it along with their complaint to a central email address for resolution.

While complaints on driver behaviour are low, Rita Smith of the Toronto Taxi Alliance (TTA) said they still have the effect of souring customers on taxi service, which is disastrous given the presence of ride hailing competitor UberX. She said the majority of complaints received by the TTA were against drivers for refusing short fares or credit card payments, which she blamed on frustrations of drivers having to compete with the cheaper and unregulated UberX. “We know this has to change and we’re trying to

fix this,” said Smith following the announcement made at the city hall members’ lounge.

“You can see logically where (drivers) feel hard done by, but in the long term it just harms them and the industry.”

Smith said complaints sent to TOtaxifeedback@gmail. com will be answered in most cases within the same day and are forwarded to individual brokerages who administer discipline if warranted.

Positive actions The email can also be used to highlight positive actions by drivers as well.

In addition to the new complaints process, the TTA also announced it has recruited Centennial College to establish a new training course for new taxi drivers.

The 18-hour course will instruct aspiring drivers about customer service, essential city geography, cultural and gender sensitivity and proper driver procedures such as not blocking bike lanes.

Much of the course will be on defensive driving, and applicants must pass an English proficiency exam before they can enrol.

“

You can see logically where (drivers) feel hard done by, but in the long term it just harms them and the industry.

– Rita Smith

Smith said the need for a course was high with the city having abolished its own training program for drivers as part of new taxi bylaw changes enacted in May, resulting in a “stampede” of new drivers who could get accreditation from the Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS) department with nothing more than a valid drivers’ licence and a $20 police background check.

“Clearly this is not a good situation for the city or the industry,” she said. “We never asked them to get rid of the training program and were shocked when they did.”

Representatives from MLS did not respond to requests to comment.

Toronto Urban Film Festival set to return to TTC’s subway platforms RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com A self-styled commuter film festival has proven TUFF enough to return for its 10th year of screenings.

There was some concern the Toronto Urban Film Festival (TUFF) would end after last year due to funding concerns, but not only is TUFF back, it’s bigger than ever, says executive director and founder Sharon Switzer.

“Last year, there were a whole lot of changes going on, but the intention was always to continue,” Switzer said.

“We’re hoping to keep it going for another 10 years.”

The festival has drawn praise for the unique manner it showcases cinema: on video screens found on TTC subway platforms. TUFF also runs at the same time as the Toronto International Film Festival, at a time when local interest in independent cinema is at

fever pitch.

Switzer said she was approached by festival sponsor Pattison Onestop, which maintains and operates the TTC’s ad space as well as all subway platform video screens, to continue TUFF for another year.

SilenT filMS “I had to do no convincing, Pattison contacted me and said ‘we’d like to continue’,” she said. “Pattison decided they appreciate and value the festival enough to put in 100 per cent of the funding this year, which is different from the past. They have renewed and extended investment in the festival.”

This year’s offerings range from absurdist animations to Dystopian narratives, taking less time to watch than wait for the train. Over nine days, 87 films will be screened from 61 countries, including Germany, Iran, Bangladesh

and Canada. Each film is one minute long and completely silent.

With 63 TTC stations providing viewing areas, Switzer estimates TUFF could reach a potential audience of more than one million daily transit users. The films will also screen at 16 Toronto Public Library branches as well as the atrium of the Toronto Reference Library. All films will be posted to the official festival website.

“That’s the way the festival was meant to be, to bring film to people as they go about their day,” she said.

To mark its 10-year anniversary, the festival plans to screen 10 films Saturday, all of them new works by filmmakers who were featured at TUFF in the past.

City of Toronto film commissioner Zaib Shaikh will act as this year’s guest judge responsible for picking the Top 3 films of the festival.

TUFF runs Sept. 10 to 18.

TTC to phase out Metropass The TTC will begin phasing out the Metropass in mid2017.

This is the last full year for the monthly transit pass, which is scheduled to be replaced by the Presto fare system. While the TTC is currently focused on getting the new technology onto all of its vehicles and in stations, it’s recommended riders who regularly make use of stations where there’s currently no Presto access to hold off on acquiring the smart fare card.

Also in 2017, the TTC intends to stop using station employees for collecting fares.

FREE WI-FI ON GO TRaNsIT OFFERED wMORE

Just in time for the return to school, there are more GO transit locations offering free Wi-Fi. GO announced recently the addition of 26 additional locations to access Wi-Fi, taking the total to 52. GO pledged in 2012 to install Wi-Fi at its stations as well as on vehicles.

Since then GO has highlighted numerous technical issues for

GM: WaLk TORONTO wPEDEsTRIaN-FRIENDLY

The city’s largest walking advocacy group hopes Toronto’s next transportation chief makes improving pedestrian safety a key priority.

The city is looking for a new general manager for its Transportation Services department following Stephen Buckley’s resignation earlier this year. In a letter to deputy city manager John Livey, Walk Toronto calls on the city to choose an individual who is “fully in tune” with the belief walking is an essential mode of urban transportation. The letter also expresses frustration with the city’s slow adoption of a Vision Zero

philosophy for eliminating pedestrian fatalities, and inconsistent sidewalk snowclearing efforts.

CONCERT POWERED BY PEDaLs ON PaM aM PaTH wA local group is planning to

hold a live concert along the Pan Am Path powered entirely by pedals.

Over the summer, Friends of the Pan Am Path has organized discussions and other activities as part of its P4K Pathfinding series, which takes place along the 80-kilometre multi-use path.

On Saturday in collaboration with the Toronto Bicycle Music festival, the group is planning to hold several performances along the path.

Rob Ford, Toronto’s former mayor who died in March, is surrounded by supporters during Ford Fest at Centennial Park in 2013. The annual barbecue returns Friday.

Fords bring annual barbecue back to family’s backyard >>>from page 1 the old Sears building at Rexdale Boulevard and Islington Avenue, was Rob Ford’s last.

In the days leading up to that

event, Ford – who, at the time was recovering from five rounds of chemo, 30 rounds of radiation and an 11-hour surgery – spoke with Insidetoronto about what Ford Fest had meant to his family over the years.

“We do (Ford Fest) because of my dad. My dad started it off in the backyard when he first got elected in 1995, and it just grew from there,” he said of his father, the late Doug Ford Sr., who served as MPP for the then-riding of Etobicoke-Humber from 1995 to 1999.

“So, it’s Friday in memory of my dad that we keep doing it every year, and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. I think it’d bring a tear to his eye.”

Now that Ford, too, has died, brother Doug said this year’s Ford Fest will provide his family the opportunity to give thanks to Ford Nation.

“The outpouring of support is staggering and we’re very grateful for it,” Doug said.

Landlord licensing proposal brings hope to tenant activists

Dr. Amanpreet Chopra 2015

READERS’

Licensing would be on buildings with 10 or more units

CHOICE DIAMOND

ACORN Canada president Marva Burnett participates in a City of Toronto consultation at the Scarborough Village Recreation Centre on landlord licensing.

could address weaknesses in property standards enforcement, promote best practices and give tenants and the city more information about buildings, Amy Buitenhuis, a senior policy officer for the Municipal Licensing and Services Division, told people at the Scarborough Village meeting.

Fines levied by courts now don’t seem to be enough to stop “bad behaviour” by certain landlords, she said. added cost to tenants?

Buitenhuis said the city doesn’t want the licensing fee to be “burdensome” to tenants or landlords, and knows tenants don’t want to pay the costs, estimated at $12 to $15 per apartment per year.

Whether it can be passed to tenants in a rent increase or not is up to the province’s Landlord and Tenant Board, she said.

The Federation of Rental Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO), calls licensing “a new tax on tenants,” and argues on its website “these types of licensing schemes do not help to increase the quality of rental housing.”

Daryl Chong, president of

Greater Toronto Apartment Association, said the city should focus on the bad landlords, “a handful of addresses,” and use remedial action, “an effective tool.”

The 10-unit figure is arbitrary, and the city didn’t seem to look at alternatives to licensing, Chong added last week, arguing Toronto’s purpose-built rental building owners pay higher property taxes than other owners.

The stock of apartments is aging, and the city’s treatment of the industry doesn’t encourage building more, he said.

But Joy Robertson of Scarborough Residents Unite said something must be done for Toronto’s tenants, and if licensing is in place, “the city has some sort of teeth to make sure tenants are protected.”

Bad buildings affect property values of nearby houses, Robertson said. “If a landlord is neglecting his buildings, these buildings affect our entire community, so everybody’s affected.”

A landlord licensing proposal is expected to reach Toronto’s Licensing and Standards Committee in November, and Toronto Council by mid-December.

*Some Conditions apply

Eight years ago, tenants of some Scarborough highrises made a video showing holes in their hallway ceilings and other conditions their landlords refused to fix.

Along with a group called ACORN Canada, they were pushing the City of Toronto to license landlords the way it licensed restaurants.

Ruled out in 2008, the idea is coming back to Toronto Council this fall.

“It took them long enough.

A part of me is upset (by that), a part of me is happy,” Marva Burnett, one of the tenant activists, said last week.

Burnett is now president of ACORN Canada, a group that pressures the city to fix problem buildings and has campaigned for licensing for more than a decade.

No one yet knows the details, but the city will consider a licensing system for rental buildings with 10 or more units and at least three storeys.

“I’m hopeful. City councillors keep saying tenants don’t vote, but they are also a huge chunk of their constituents they have to start representing,” Burnett said last Wednesday at Scarborough Village Recreation Centre, during the last in a series of public meetings on the idea.

“Too many tenants are suffering in Ontario, and we need something to stop the madness.”

Instead of licensing, the city in 2008 started the MultiResidential Audit Program (MRAB) to target common areas of “high-risk” buildings, and so far has audited 1,048 of Toronto’s 3,500 or so apartment towers.

City inspectors can also issue orders to comply with property standards. Many orders are appealed, but the city can finally move to “remedial action,” hiring a contractor to do the work and attaching the costs to a building’s property tax.

These programs work “relatively well” but licences
