ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com "It was just chaos."

That’s how a 49-year-old man described the moments after a man opened fire inside North York Sheridan Mall, killing 22year-old Etobicoke resident Jovane Clarke.

The 49-year-old, who didn’t want his name published, said he was in the mall with his wife around 5:30 p.m. Aug. 31.

"We were in the food court. We got something to eat," the area resident said.

The couple then went upstairs on an escalator and turned left toward a clothing store.

It was then that Clarke, who had braided hair and wore white pants and a blue shirt, was seen running into the mall through the entrance by the CIBC, followed by a man with gun in hand.

"I was in the middle of them," the witness said, adding Clarke stopped by a games store and "looked around the corner to see if the guy was coming around

FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Toronto Paramedic Services’ first multi-function station, and the largest built in the city, will be situated in North York.

The station at 1300 Wilson Ave., west of Keele Street and Humber River Hospital, will accommodate up to 25 ambulances and their respective paramedic crews, equipment and supply technicians, and the administrative and training offices of the North-West District Office of Toronto Paramedic Services when it officially opens Wednesday, Oct. 11.

The site, which previously housed a French school, was chosen because "the property was available first," said Kim McKinnon, superintendent of public information and media for Toronto Paramedic Services,

adding long-term plans include building an additional three to five multi-function stations across the city, with the next one targeted for Scarborough. "The design allows for more efficient maintenance and stocking of multiple ambulances, a more cost-effective process as the demand for our services continues to grow," acting chief Gord McEachen said in a release.

McKinnon stressed Toronto Paramedic Services are not closing any stations; adding the multi-function station is a response to growth in call volume.

"Other stations are smaller and house one or two ambulances," she said. "(It’s) a central large station to book on and sign off at the end of the day (before paramedics) are dispersed to the smaller stations across the city.

Paramedics Duane Lichty (left) and Marc Dugas give a tour of Toronto’s first new multi-function paramedic station, which is slated to open Oct. 11.

The key is this is the central location for equipment technicians to restock and clean vehicles for the paramedics."

Fourteen equipment technicians have been hired to prepare and stock the ambulances at the multi-func-

tion station, something that was previously the responsibility of paramedics, McKinnon said.

Though paramedic crews can be sent anywhere in the city, the paramedics assigned to the multi-function station will spend most

of their time covering the west and north ends of Toronto, she said.

The new multi-function station will allow the service to meet the growing needs of the city, she said, noting "more paramedics require more stations and vehicles

to house them. "(This) allows the service to continue to provide response times we do now."

The city plans to hire an additional 200 paramedics over two years, with some 1,100 currently serving Toronto.

that way."

The witness said Clarke was then shot twice from about 10 feet away and collapsed. "Then he (gunman) ran up closer to him and he shot him two more times," he said, noting "one of the shell casings hit my foot."

The witness said he was focused on getting his wife and the other people around him out of the line of fire. He said he pushed his wife and another woman into a store.

"Then there was another lady in a wheelchair. Her husband actually ran and left her in the middle by the escalator," the Good Sa-

maritan said.

"I didn’t know at that point whether there was going to be more shots fired or what was happening, and I pushed her literally with the wheelchair (into a jewelry store)."

The woman, the witness said, fell out of her wheelchair because the front wheels hit a metal hump.

"It was just chaos," he said, adding people were "yelling and screaming" and "kids were crying."

The gunman, who wore a hoodie and had his mouth and nose covered, ran off.

As Clarke was dying, the witness said, people were taking cellphone videos "instead of helping this

Ontario Chamber of Commerce says 185,000 jobs could be lost MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Ontario’s Liberal government is just "pretending" to help vulnerable low-waged workers with its Bill 148, says a representative of the province’s largest business group.

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce claims 185,000 jobs could be lost over two years if the bill and its minimum wage hikes passes this fall.

"This is ultimately going to hurt women," since most minimum-wage earners are women, Ashley Challinor, the Chamber’s policy director, told members of the Scarborough Business Associa-

or call MPPs with their concerns.

In an interview, Deena Ladd, a spokesperson for Toronto’s Workers’ Action Centre, said the Chamber "sees it from one side only."

Going, as the government plans, from $11.40 per hour to $14 on Jan. 1, and $15 in 2019, will lift people out of poverty, boosting spending and creating jobs, she argued.

There will also be a spillover effect which should lead to pay increases for people making up to $19 an hour, Ladd said.

How to handle this "differential" above minimum wage worried some owners at the Scarborough meeting, including Adam Watson, a partner in Pristine Property, a local landscaping company with 165 employees.

Watson said employees he’s paying $17 or $18 will want raises, setting up a "domino effect throughout our company."

tion.

Ontario’s labour market is changing. Self-serve kiosks at stores and movie theatres are eliminating lower-wage jobs. But people disagree on whether people earning minimum wage - 30 per cent of working Ontarians - will be hurt or helped more by raising it to $15 an hour by 2019.

Challinor said small businesses will react to the province’s timetable by cutting employees, while large ones will speed up automation.

"With Bill 148, you’re making it harder to employ people. Employing people is kind of against the trend right now," she said during a Sept. 13 Small Business Administration meeting at Centennial College.

Challinor said the Chamber, which will release a detailed report on Sept. 26, believes small business owners will be hit hardest and should write

while, stated its support for $15 an hour - which left some SBA members disappointed - while continuing to call the government’s schedule for increases too fast, and warning this will lead to either lay offs or higher consumer prices.

Ladd said the Chamber is "fear-mongering," and employers who feel they must pay "poverty wages" should take a hard look at themselves.

Wages have stagnated "because people haven’t done the right thing," and $15 an hour is barely above the poverty line in Toronto, she said.

"I think people aren’t believing the hype."

Brad Duguid, a Scarborough MPP and Ontario’s economic development minister, said the province’s economy is booming, and the changes in Bill 148 won’t upset Ontario’s international competitiveness.

ABOUT US

Legacy continues with Invictus Games The Toronto International Film Festival may have wrapped up last weekend, but Toronto has kept the red carpet rolled out with the Invictus Games about to take over.

If there’s anyone that deserves the spotlight, it’s these soldiers and veterans - about 550 of them from 17 allied nations - who will take part in the event which kicks off with the opening ceremonies Saturday night. Competition takes place from Sunday through to the closing ceremonies the following Saturday night.

The nations involved have all asked a lot of their armed forces.

For those of us who live in a democracy, such as Canada, we have the privilege and responsibility to question our political leaders - past, present and future - whether the right decisions have been made in the deployment of our troops.

What should never be up for debate is the support we must always have for those troops - the men and women we have sent, and continue to send, into harm’s way on our behalf.

For Canada, that commitment includes being a part of the Global Coalition against Daesh in Iraq on the heels of a more than 12-year deployment in Afghanistan.

These athletes, according to organizers, "have become ill or injured during or as a direct consequence of their service."

You can bet they will try to win their events, but they have already won, in some cases hard earned battles, just by participating.

Supporters are welcome to check out their efforts.

There are some free events. Watch wheelchair tennis at Nathan Phillips Square, archery at Fort York, cycling in High Park, golf at St. George’s Golf and Country Club as well as the Jaguar Land Rover Driving Challenge, which is being held on a special course being built on the parking grounds adjacent to the Distillery District.

Ticketed events (most at a very reasonable $25) include athletics at York University, swimming at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in Scarborough and, at Ryerson’s Mattamy Athletic Centre (formerly Maple Leaf Gardens), indoor rowing, powerlifting, sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby.

Beware, some sessions have already sold out.

The Invictus Games follow on the heels of this summer’s successful North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) for Indigenous youth. Both events benefited from the facilities bequeathed to us by The Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

Arguably, this is a much better use of our resources than an Olympics could ever be.

The urban heroes you don’t know about We live with heroes in Toronto, but we don’t know who they are.

I met one, Martha Nyame, in Rexdale.

From a village in Ghana called Abosamso, she never attended school. Her family was too poor.

After emigrating to Canada, she returned to Abosamso in 1994 and saw many children that she knew faced a sad childhood like hers were uneducated.

So, she changed their future.

What was to be a family home became an orphanage and free school. In Toronto, Nyame worked two jobs and sent every dollar and box of supplies she could to Abosamso.

"Even $5 is money," she says.

Last week, she made an agonized decision to close the school - only 18 orphans will remain there - and I was struck by how few people outside Abosamso knew what Nyame had done for more than 20

Nyame is one of Metroland Media Toronto’s Urban Heroes for 2017.

On our website, you can meet other heroes we’re going to honour next month, including Nasser Rad, who couldn’t afford a car after he arrived in Canada as an Iranian refugee; now, he gives cars away to people who need a break.

José Alberto Flores, vice-principal of a Catholic secondary school in Bloor West Village, buys breakfasts for students who can’t afford it, bringing the food to class. "Each student has a story," he says.

Sharon Nyarko is a hero too. The University of Toronto Scarborough student, who’s been depressed, made a short film, Beyond Words, to chal-

lenge misconception around mental illness and get people talking.

The needs Urban Heroes address are different, but all make the decision to do good.

Sometimes it’s because of their faith, and sometimes because they recognize people around them are human beings who need help.

They didn’t seek this recognition. We know them because friends nominated them, or readers voted for them online.

You don’t have to be a movie star or famous athlete to change people’s lives. The heroes among us prove that.

The extreme devastation that has recently struck the tiny island nation of Barbuda is extra close to home for one east Toronto family.

On Sept. 7, the category five hurricane Irma destroyed an estimated 90 per cent of the buildings in the eastern Caribbean country.

Long-time Scarborough resident John Teague grew up there.

Roughly 50 of his immediate family members and numerous friends still lived in Barbuda until recently. Since the disaster, the entire island has been evacuated.

Despite having left Barbuda 36 years ago, Teague, his wife Vicky Tsorlinis, along with their children Isaac and Phebe, have visited Barbuda on a number of occasions as they have a family home there. The couple plans to one day spend the winters there.

"All of my sisters- and broth-

"Everything’s destroyed.

Anyone who returns only has the clothes on their back. They have to start again from zero."

few days later when the local family started to receive emails from relatives that contained photos of local landmarks they’d seen countless times over the years completely razed.

"I couldn’t stop crying," she shared.

Tsorlinis, who has volun-

teered for a number of causes over the years, immediately felt compelled to do something to help her loved ones.

"I wanted to show them I cared. I didn’t want people to be forgotten," said Tsorlinis, who has held a number of book sale fundraisers over the years.

The day after the disaster hit, she immediately reached out to businesses along Queen Street East in the Beach to see if they’d offer their space for a book sale.

And while Harold Weisfeld, or Zoltzz as he’s better known, was unable to offer space at his former Ends storefront at Queen and Elmer as is had officially been sold, he has come forward to donate some leftover items from his discount emporium for those in Barbuda.

Andrew Beckett of Beaches Pharmasave was able to donate some room for Tsorlinis to hold a book sale on September 9 and 10. That fundraiser raised $1,300.

Last Saturday, she sold books for Barbuda at the inaugural Toronto Beaches Festival at Woodbine Beach raising $1,150. Event organizer Christiane Tetreault donated space for the fundraiser.

Tsorlinis, who is aiming to raise $5,000 for her relatives Barbuda, is holding another book sale in the Upper Beach on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 7 a.m to 3 p.m. at Savoury Grounds, 283 Scarborough rd.

She’s still finalizing locations for a few more upcoming book sales.

"So far the response has been incredible. I’m so happy," said Tsorlinis, who stores donated books at her southwest Scarborough home in large supermarket bags.

In early November, Toronto doctor Greg Flynn will be sailing to Antigua and has generously offered to transport any items the Teague family may need at his expense. Funds raised by Tsorlinis will be used to purchase those essentials.

In the near future, Tsorlinis and her husband along with other family members abroad plan to travel to Barbuda to assist with cleaning up and rebuilding.

Email Tsorlinis at vickytsorlinis@rogers.com for more details about the times and locations of upcoming book sales and/or to make a donation.

Metroland Reports: SIU

No consequences when police don’t call SIU ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com The Dafonte Miller assault case is raising questions about how some police forces interpret the Special Investigations Unit’s mandate.

Miller, 19, was seriously injured, losing sight in one eye, during an altercation with an off-duty Toronto police officer and his brother in Whitby on Dec. 28.

But neither Durham Regional Police, which initially investigated the incident, nor the Toronto Police Service contacted the province’s police watchdog.

The alleged assault was reported to the SIU nearly four months later by Miller’s lawyer, and the agency charged both the officer, Const. Michael Theriault, and his brother Christian in July.

The SIU investigates whenever there is a serious injury, death or sexual assault allegation involving police and its jurisdiction doesn’t differentiate between on-duty and off-duty officers, so police services are under a duty to report both onduty and off-duty occurrences.

However, as a matter of practice, the agency normally doesn’t investigate conduct by off-duty officers unless police equipment or property is involved or the officer’s status as a police officer was implicated in the incident.

Dafonte Miller in a photo (left) from before his altercation with off duty Toronto police officer Michael Theriault and in hospital (right).

"Durham said it’s Toronto’s (case) because it’s a Toronto officer; Toronto said it’s Durham’s (case) because it’s a Durham inves-

tigation," said Scott Nicholls, a former Peel Regional Police officer who teaches police oversight at Humber College. "That goes to the

reporting question. Who is responsible (for contacting the SIU)? Maybe they both should have."

The SIU cannot invoke their

mandate unless they are contacted, and no one reached out to them for months.

Nicholls stressed there should be consequences when a police service or a police officer either refuses to or neglects to notify the SIU. "That’s an issue that any review of the SIU mandate, any review of the SIU function needs to address: What happens to a police service, what happens to an individual officer who doesn’t follow the mandate, who doesn’t notify the SIU in a timely manner," he said. "It’s like a traffic law. If there’s a law against speeding, and no one enforces it, then it’s an ineffective law. People will speed because there are no consequences."

The interpretation of serious injury is also an issue and could explain why some cases aren’t called in to the SIU, Nicholls said.

The SIU says it uses the definition created by its first director, John Osler. A key aspect of the Osler definition is the impact the injury has on the victim’s life, health and ability to carry on in a normal fashion.

"It leaves it to the discretion of a police officer, it leaves it to the discretion of the police service, it leaves it to the discretion of the SIU, and in the end someone is always going to be unhappy with the exercise of that discretion," Nicholls said.

Few SIU investigations made public

insidetoronto.com

PAM DOUGLAS pdouglas@thebramptonguardian.com The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) launched investigations into 74 police-involved deaths and injuries in Toronto last year – but you only heard about 33 of them.

That’s because the SIU doesn’t have enough staff to issue news releases for every investigation, according to SIU spokesperson Jason Gennaro.

"Each year the SIU starts hundreds of investigations all across the province," Gennaro wrote in an email to Metroland Media.

"The unit has limited resources and does not have the ability to issue an initial news release and to provide details in every case it begins."

The SIU isn’t required by law to report to the public. It does so as a

matter of policy.

That’s one thing Justice Michael Tulloch, in his Independent Police Oversight Review report, has said must change.

"The SIU must be more open, candid and communicative than it is now," Tulloch concluded in the lengthy report released this past

Since the release of Tulloch’s report, the Attorney General has committed to releasing all reports publicly, online.

That decision will give the public access to information about all SIU investigations in which charges are not laid, but only after the case has been closed.

Provincially, SIU only notifies the public of 1 in 4 investigations

April that included 129 recommendations for improvements to the current system of police oversight in Ontario.

He quoted the Police Services Act, which states only that the SIU must report to the Attorney General.

Tulloch recommended the law require the SIU report to the public on every investigation, and he even set out guidelines for how often the unit should update the progress being made on ongoing investigations - after 120 days, and then every 60 days thereafter.

Gennaro has said the SIU is committed to issuing news releases in all death cases, shootings, and for "major" vehicle collisions involving police, which has meant few details released in the majority of SIU-involved cases.

Under that policy, news releases are issued by the SIU only 25 per cent of the time, or for one out of every four investigations it conducts, Tulloch’s review found.

The SIU handles hundreds of cases each year. Last year, it opened 327 investigations.

Tulloch emphasized the correlation between accountability and public trust in the SIU and the amount of information the unit shares with the public.

In 2014/15, the SIU spent 4 per cent of its total expenditures on "communications, outreach and affected persons," or $352,584 out of approximately $8.2 million.

"Public accountability is vital to the SIU’s success. Yet the SIU currently has only one person responsible for public communications," Tulloch concluded.

Approximately 80 per cent of expenditures were spent on investigations and identification services.

"This disparity between the two functions should be addressed," Tulloch concluded, calling for more resources to fulfill its public accountability function.

Since the release of Tulloch’s report, the Attorney General’s office has begun releasing the reports the SIU submits and a spokesperson for the Attorney General said that, going forward, all reports will be released to the public.

That means the public will be notified of all SIU investigations, after they are completed.

Hearing Aid Trial

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

Police hiring 80 officers Eighty new police officers will soon be hired in Toronto.

The Toronto Police Service announced on Tuesday, Sept. 12 that it’s accepting applications for the position of cadet-in-training to support "community-centric policing, diversity and inclusion."

The job posting, police said, describes qualifications such as post-secondary education and work or volunteer experience with marginalized and/or socially and eco-

nomically disadvantaged communities.

"The people of today’s police service are expected to be adaptable, accountable and innovative," Chief Mark Saunders said in a news release. "In the future, members who contribute to our dynamic team will already have invested time and energy into becoming community leaders."

For more information on the current recruitment process, call the employment unit at 416-808-JOIN (5646).

View budget on webpage Toronto residents can now get a closer look at the police budget thanks to a new webpage.

Police said the webpage (tps.on.ca/budget) would allow the budget to be more accessible so that it can be better understood.

Donation lands York U telescope A $1-million telescope believed to be the largest situated on any Canadian campus will soon call York University home.

Funded by a recent donation of $500,000 from the Carswell Family Foundation, and matched

by York University and its faculty of science, the one-metre custom telescope is expected to be up and running at the Keele Street and Steeles Avenue campus in late sum-

mer/early fall of 2018.

The observatory at York has been a prominent hub for science outreach to the broader community since 1969, the university said, adding about 5,000 visitors a year come for public viewing Wednesday nights.

In honour of Allan Carswell’s gift, his longtime contributions to science and long-standing philanthropy to the uni-

versity and community, York also announced the observatory has been renamed the Allan I. Carswell Astronomical Observatory in honour of the physics professor emeritus.

Allan is co-founder along with his wife Helen, of Optech Incorporated, which developed LIDAR technologies now used around the world and as part of NASA’s Phoenix Mars mission.

Kiwanis Club of Toronto/Photo

The Kiwanis Club of Toronto, one of Ontario’s most active community service organizations, donated $2,500 to 100 different youth charities this past year.

tivities club members have participated in lately.

Another key directive for the Kiwanis Club of Toronto over the next century, Williams said, will be in the area of youth leadership - particularly with the development of Kiwanis Key Clubs at local schools.

"Talking about the next 100 years, what I think we have to look forward to and where we can really make an impact, is in the whole youth leadership area," he said.

"We want to start focusing on getting these programs and Key Clubs in the schools, because youth leadership is so important these days in getting kids more and more community minded."

Meanwhile, Kiwanis will continue its ongoing efforts to help Toronto children and youth build selfesteem and leadership skills through its legacy as founders of two of Toronto’s most successful youth charities - The Toronto Kiwanis Music Festival and the Toronto Kiwanis Boys and Girls Club.

One of Toronto’s oldest community service organizations is marking its centennial anniversary this week by looking to its past to help shape its future.

The Kiwanis Club of Toronto, which was first chartered in 1917, will celebrate 100 years of service to this city’s children tonight (Thursday, Sept. 21) with a Centennial Gala dinner at the Old Mill that will both honour its century-long legacy of milestones, while also looking forward to the club’s next 100 years of achievement.

"While the Centennial Gala gives us a great opportunity to look back with pride, it also provides a chance to look forward with hope - for the kids and youth in Toronto and our role helping them," said Toronto Kiwanis President Joe Elkerton.

"The Kiwanis slogan has become ’Kids Need Kiwanis,’ and we intend to be there when they do."

One of the ways the club has already helped fulfil that mandate is with its Kiwanis Centennial Grant

program, which awarded 100 grants of $2,500 each totalling $250,000 - to local children’s charities over the summer.

"We have a soft spot for the smaller, more local, hands-on groups," Hugh Williams, the executive director of the Kiwanis Club of Toronto, said of the recipients of the grant - all of whom have been invited to the gala dinner, at which one will be awarded Toronto Kiwanis’ $40,000 Centennial Impact Award.

In addition to such financial contributions, Williams said looking forward, the club would also like to get back to its hands-on roots with the recently created Kiwanis Cares program - an innovative outlet for volunteering that gives club members the opportunity to directly support worthwhile local organizations.

"We really want to get our members out in the community and engaged through Kiwanis Cares," he said, pointing to last year’s Christmas dinner at the Salvation Army in Regent Park, and a recent Habitat for Humanity build as examples such ac-

Toronto Pearson:

International Noise Benchmarking and Best Practices Report Launch

NEW LOCATION:

Join us on September 27, 2017 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Toronto Congress Centre, 650 Dixon Road, Etobicoke, ON, M9W 1J1

for our Community Environment & Noise Advisory Committee (CENAC) meeting for the release of our Noise Management Program Benchmarking and Best Practices Study.

What is CENAC?

Why is this important?

CENAC is a forum for discussion between the community and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) on matters relating to aircraft noise and the environmentally responsible operation of Toronto Pearson International Airport.

Toronto Pearson serves Canada’s largest and fastest-growing metropolitan area.

The GTAA is committed to managing and reducing the impact of our operations and is reviewing a range of ambitious targets and actions to reduce the impact on GTA residents. Our updated five-year Noise Management Action Plan will be released this winter following a year of detailed study and consultations. Understanding international best practices is an important step in the development of this plan.

What can you expect to learn?

In 2016, the GTAA hired UK aviation consultant Helios to undertake a Noise Management Program Benchmarking and Best Practices study. The study looked at 11 areas of noise management at 26 comparator airports around the world to identify potential new programs to be adopted at Toronto Pearson. This is the release of the report’s findings. There will be opportunities to speak with experts, including Toronto Pearson staff. This meeting is not focused on decisions around runway usage.

How do I RSVP? Visit www.torontopearson.com/noisemanagement to register and to learn more about CENAC and the GTAA’s important noise consultations and studies.
