CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Chances are, unless you’ve walked by his recently installed Heritage Toronto plaque on Lombard Street, Albert Jackson’s name won’t ring many bells. It may come as a surprise to most, then, that for much of the month of May 1882, Jackson’s story was splashed across headlines both local and national, capturing the attention of the city, the country, and even the likes of then-prime minister John A. Macdonald. Back then, however, the man known today in certain, all-too-small circles as a hero about whom a play has been written, a lane has been named, and a memorial plaque has been dedicated, was referred to in headlines simply as "The Colored Postman." Born into slavery on a Delaware plantation in 1857, Jackson persevered despite his most humble of beginnings to become Toronto’s first Black mail carrier - an odds-defying feat for which he was recognized by Heritage Toronto late last month. "Albert’s story is one that remains relevant to our present and can show us a way forward to build a more resilient and kind city," Heritage Toronto board member Abena Buahene said of Jackson at the July 21 plaque presentation in his name at 26 Lombard St. - the former site of the Toronto General Post Office. "His story is a reminder of how far we have come and the work we have left to do." Jackson was just a toddler in 1858 when, according to the Harriet Tubman In-

| North York Mirror | Thursday, August 10, 2017

’His story is a reminder of how far we have come.’

Staff/Metroland

(Above) Toronto’s first black letter carrier Albert Jackson’s grandson Lawrence Jackson (left) and his great-grandchildren Shawne Jackson-Troiana and Jay Jackson pay tribute to the historic Torontonian during a plaque unveiling ceremony in his honour. The plaque is on Lombard Street, where the Toronto General Post Office once stood.; (Right) Albert Jackson, pictured here in his postal uniform, was appointed Toronto’s first Black letter carrier on May 12, 1882. stitute at York University, he accompanied his mother, Ann Maria Jackson, and six of his eight siblings on a perilous trip to Canada via the Underground Railroad. Spurred to escape to freedom by the sale of her two eldest children and subsequent death of her griefstricken husband, Ann Maria hoped to build a better life for her family upon their arrival in Toronto. While Ann Maria took on work as a washerwoman in St. John’s Ward to support the family, some of the older boys in her brood of seven also went to work but Jackson, the youngest, was given the opportunity to study and attend school. Ann Maria’s dreams of a better life were fulfilled when, on May 12, 1882, Jack-

son became the first Black person ever to be appointed a mail carrier in Toronto an appointment temporarily cut short by the protests of her son’s new colleagues. "Because he was black, he was given menial jobs inside, like washing floors, toilets and anything but the job he’d been hired for. He was resented by his white co-workers, who demeaned him daily," Shawne Jackson-Troiano said of her great-grandfather’s plight. After catching word of Jackson’s white colleagues’ refusal to train him, Toronto’s Black community rallied behind him. Soon after that, newspapers picked up the story’s commentary from both sides of the racism-fuelled public debate over "The Colored Post-

man." In a piece entitled just that in its May 30, 1882 edition, the Toronto World newspaper quoted Toronto’s "colored citizens" defending Jackson’s right to take up his appointed duties as a mail carrier at a wellattended meeting at a church on Richmond Street. "While we feel proud of the notice that has been taken of us as a people, we cannot but feel pained that although appointed a letter carrier, by some prejudicial feeling on account of color on the part of some of the letter carriers or officials, (Jackson) has been detained to perform other, and we consider menial, services," the unnamed chair of the meeting is quoted as

saying, before tasking a five-person committee with investigating Jackson’s treatment at the hands of the Toronto Post Office. A follow-up story the next day detailed the swift intervention of Sir John A. Macdonald, who was courting the Black vote in downtown Toronto at the time: "(Macdonald) promised that the colored youth would go to work as a carrier come what may," the Toronto World story reads. Just two days later, on June 2, 1882, Jackson began his training as a letter carrier - a position he held for 36 years, until his death in 1918. Lawrence Jackson, Jackson’s sole surviving grandson, said he was brought to tears by Heri-

tage Toronto’s plaque in honour of his grandfather and the lessons it will teach future generations. "Growing up, I always used to wonder, ’Why is it that when I go to school and open my books, there’s nothing about him, nothing about us, nothing about any Black people?’" he said. "Back then, my teachers would say to me, ’Why do you want to go to high school? You people don’t do anything anyway.’ But they didn’t know about my grandfather. "He never thought he would get that job, but he fought to get it and even Sir John A. Macdonald fought for him to get it. And he got it. The lesson he taught us all is: ’Don’t give up the ship - there’s hope.’"

COMMUNITY

FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Having scores of families temporarily vacate their homes wasn’t ideal, but short term pain will be long term gain for residents of a social housing complex slated for replacement near Leslie Street and Sheppard Avenue. Toronto Community Housing (TCH) and condominium developer Tridel plan to replace all 121 social housing units on Adra Villaway, Grado Villaway and Tomar Villaway, and add 498 market condominium suites as part of the new 18storey Scala condominium community. The newly revitalized 2.83-hectare site will also include a new playground, amenity rooms and enhanced access to the Don Valley park network. "The most painful part is the whole community had to leave, not just in

stages," Don Valley East Councillor Shelley Carroll said just prior to the groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday, Aug. 1, which was five years in the making. She noted the social housing complex existed for decades in a "food desert" and the new build is attracting more retail opportunities near the site. "Moving and moving again is never great," Carroll said. "We have to build as quickly and as best we can and get (residents) back in." Known as Leslie Nymark, the site was developed in the 1960s as a private residential development and was sold to the Ontario Housing Corporation in the 1970s, which later transferred the site to Toronto Community Housing. When the final revitalization plan came to North York community council

to have proper living standards just like any other human being. We want to be recognized as people too." TCH has said redevelopment is necessary to tackle the townhouses’ poor condition, which were prone to flooding, mould and insulation issues. Current social housing tenants vacated the site when demolition began in the spring and are expected to move back in 2020 once construction is complete. They are living at various TCH properties in the meantime.In a press release, Kevin Marshman, TCH interim president and CEO, and Tridel executive Andrea DelZotto, praised the development."Toronto Community Housing’s world-renowned revitalization program is making real progress in creating clean, safe, affordable

homes for tenants in livable, vibrant communities like the new Leslie Nymark," Marshman said. "I’m pleased to see this groundbreaking event happen so quickly after the demolition that took place this spring, so I’m confident Leslie Nymark tenants will be relocated back to this community on time and will be thrilled with their new homes." DelZotto noted Tridel is "privileged to be a part of the Leslie Nymark community. "Building a community is more than bringing floor plans to life; it’s about understanding the needs of the people that live there, building quality homes, and getting it right," she said. "We take this responsibility seriously. We are fortunate to be a part of this wonderful community and to have built relationships with the people within it."

ABOUT US

The city’s missing people need our help There are a lot of missing people in Toronto. We know, because we write up every police report and share online in the hopes word will spread and that person will be found. Our social feeds are sometimes chock full of missing person stories just due to the volume. It’s a service we justify by imagining what loved ones are going through, not knowing if their child, parent, spouse, or friend is safe. We’re an effective channel of communication and we hope getting word out there fast will mean someone somewhere will notice something, send in a tip, or better, report that they’ve been located. In the best-case scenario, we’re having to update the story soon after publishing because the person’s been found. In one recent incident, a husband apparently went out for an extended period of time without his phone and his wife panicked. Those updates are a relief to publish. Better to be safe than sorry. We’d like to thank our online followers for sharing these stories and photos. Mostly, these are published online at Insidetoronto.com and shared on our Facebook and Twitter page. Sharing with your networks helps get the word out quickly, and time is of the essence in getting people located and home safe. Domingos Martins, the 83-year-old with Alzheimer’s, was miraculously found alive last week after being missing for five days. His family made the search very public and made several appeals for help, even offering up a reward. He was eventually located trapped between a fence and a wall, and was taken to hospital in critical condition. We’ve reported several times on the story of a 31-yearold Duane Montaque who lives with autism and regularly goes missing from the home where he lives with his mother in Scarborough. Once, he stowed away on a train to reach Montreal. Earlier this summer, someone found him in Ottawa. As part of our Sunday Reads online series, once a month we also profile a historic missing child case. Though it’s been years - sometimes decades - those families and the police investigating still hold out hope. When you see these stories, have a read, examine the photos, and share with those you know. The police desperately need tips and need to act fast, so your assistance may be what makes that crucial bit of difference.

City finally unseals Toronto apartment towers Toronto’s tower-in-thepark apartments are products of The Boom, the decade bridging the 1960s and 1970s which saw 140,000 units built. Some sprouted in the suburban middle of nowhere - Rexdale, rural North York, East Scarborough, with big surface parking lots and lawns. Built when even nursing home patients were expected to have cars, they sometimes assigned each apartment two spots. The towers were "sealed in a time warp for 50 years," says Greater Toronto Apartment Association president Daryl Chong. No mixed uses were allowed. Tenants were expected to drive everywhere. Towers aged as the city grew around them. There

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto were poorer tenants, fewer cars. Enter Vinod Soman, urban planner. He’s installing a small grocery store in a Kipling Avenue highrise, expecting to start interior work this week. "Our target is to open this year," Soman says. What made this possible is Residential Apartment Commercial (RAC) zoning, which the city, after years of

delay, launched last month. Finally, if landlords agree, dead spaces in more than 400 modernist towers containing 80,000 units, all pre-1985, can become tutoring centres, daycares, or nail salons. Their lawns or lots can sport outdoor markets. Tenants, if fortunate, may finally get conveniences downtown condominium dwellers take for granted. The closest supermarket to the Rexdale tower Soman’s working on is 900 metres away. Most tenants of the building and its twin take a car there; some take taxis, he says. Soman sees a testing ground. Backed by partners, he’s interviewing tenants, many Middle Eastern or East Indian, about the products he’ll sell.

Some towers had tuck shops, but with interior doors. They were designed for tenants alone, often stocking junk food. Soman wants to sell fresh vegetables, quality stuff, in a shop open to the public. "Let’s hope it works," he says. Around Pape and Cosburn, Jane and Finch, Kipling in Rexdale, Lawrence and Orton Park in Scarborough, East York’s Taylor Massey and Thorncliffe Park neighbourhoods, and Oriole in Don Mills, the city will approach owners, suggesting what RAC zoning can do for them. Entrepreneurs can also knock on management doors, perhaps tenants themselves already "making something cool, exciting or tasty" upstairs, Chong says.

Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Transit Project Assessment Process The Project Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion. Metrolinx intends to proceed with the project in accordance with the EPR. Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is upgrading its commuter rail system into Regional Express Rail. The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is now home to nearly 7 million people and heading towards 10 million by 2041. To address the urgent transit needs of the GTHA, the Province of Ontario committed to implement Regional Express Rail and make other improvements to the GO system. By 2025, electrified trains will be running every 15 minutes or better, all day and in both directions, within the most heavily travelled sections of the GO network. To support this service increase, Metrolinx is undertaking the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion (BRCE) Project which includes the following: • Provision of a second track between Lansdowne Avenue in the City of Toronto to Allandale Waterfront GO Station in the City of Barrie; • Upgrades to existing GO Stations along the corridor: Rutherford, Maple, King City, Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Bradford, Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront; and • A new train layover facility within the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury for overnight storage of trains. 30-day Public Review Period Begins August 9 The environmental effects of this transit project were assessed and an EPR prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. The EPR for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion is now available at metrolinx.com/RERBarrie and the following locations for a 30-day public review period starting August 9, 2017 and ending September 7, 2017.

Art offers respite from Eglinton construction Businesses along Eglinton Avenue are turning the major traffic artery into an urban art gallery. "Gallery City" is an art showcasing taking place in storefronts on the avenue between Weston Road in the

west end to Laird Drive in the east end following the route of the new Metrolinx LRT stations. Gallery City kicked off in July and will run until Aug. 25. Various businesses are showcasing art from 12 local

artists as part of the initiative. It is a joint project of Metrolinx Crosslinx Transit Solutions - Constructors, the seven Eglinton Business Improvement Areas, and various businesses along the LRT route.

Gallery City originally began with a partnership between the York-Eglinton BIA and Hogtown Mascots in 2013. It ran for close to three months in the communities near Oakwood and Eglinton avenues.

"Summer is the perfect time to celebrate our city, and art, the streets, and the neighbourhoods that make Toronto such a great place to be," said Aadila Valiallah, co-ordinator at the York Eglinton BIA.

The public has a chance to win their favourite art piece through a contest.For more information on Gallery City, the contest, or to view an interactive map of the art displays, visit www.gallerycity.ca

University Women’s Club seeks new members

SPECIAL RETIREES' HEARING AID! A remarkable new hearing aid is now available and getting rave reviews from retirees! It is easy to use, looks great in the ear, and marks a MAJOR advancement in hearing technology!

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!

Now providing FREE, no obligation hearing tests! Call the number below

The University Women’s Club of North York (UWCNY) is looking for new members. Founded in 1951, UWCNY is one of more than 100 Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) clubs in Canada. Through general monthly meetings with guest speakers, interest groups and workshops, members of the club aim to improve the social status of women and to advocate for quality public education. UWCNY has been involved in different initiatives to raise awareness for women issues, and also funds scholarships to

women at schools including York University, Seneca College, and Earl Haig Secondary School, along with a memorial fellowship at the CFUW through donations and membership fees. Several speakers are scheduled to join the club’s general meetings in the fall, and guests are welcome to attend. The club meets at St. Bonaventure Parish Centre, 1300 Leslie St. A degree is not required for membership. For information call 416-491-4262, email uwcny@uwcnorthyork.ca or visit www.uwcnorthyork.ca

Cadillac Fairview completed its $21 million overhaul at CF Shops at Don Mills.

Shops at Don Mills gets makeover worth millions With new pedestrian upgrades and expanded entertainment zones, a $21 million redevelopment at CF Shops at Don Mills is now complete. The project began in spring of 2016 at the outdoor lifestyle shopping centre at Don Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue and incorporated feedback from the community to improve the in-property experience. Updates to CF Shop at Don Mills include: • Improved pedestrian and vehicle accessibility, featuring updated digital signage, improved walk-

ways, and updated lighting. • Extended entertainment zones and enhanced outdoor gathering places. • Upgraded landscaping, seating options, and new art installations. • Summer programming included complimentary outdoor yoga classes, group cycling classes, and a weekly farmers’ market. "CF Shops at Don Mills is more than a shopping centre; it’s a 40-acre integrated community featuring a range of independent and international retail brands, office space, ele-

vated dining options, as well as a community park, three residential towers with four to follow - and a future community centre," Niall Collins, senior vice-president, development, Cadillac Fairview, said in a release. "When we began transforming the centre last year, our intent was to provide further integration with the growing condo community and amplify what was already a vibrant, mixed-use destination where people come together." CF Shops at Don Mills opened in 2009.
