Gord Downie’s diagnosis of terminal brain cancer should have no bearing on The Tragically Hip’s upcoming summer tour, his neurologist said during a Tuesday press conference. Speaking to reporters at The Estates of Sunnybrook, Dr. James Perry said the beloved singer has been diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. An MRI following a seizure in December 2015 revealed Downie, 52, had a tumour in the left temporal lobe, Perry said, adding the location is noted for short-term memory and language function. Downie, who underwent 30 radiation treatments over six weeks, along with oral chemotherapy, completed treatment a month ago and has shown signs of improvement, Perry said. An MRI last week showed swelling has decreased substantially and the tumour has shrunk, Perry said, adding he couldn’t provide information on the tumour’s size.

Barbara Collins is the new president and CEO of Humber River Hospital effective July 1. She’s served the hospital in several roles including as the executive lead for the hospital’s redevelopment project.

Q: What are your thoughts on your new appointment, and what do you plan to bring to the role? A: Well, I’m very honoured to have been chosen to succeed Rueben. I’m grateful for the confidence the board has shown in selecting me for the role. I’ve been in health care my entire career – over 35 years. It’s where my passion is, and I will use that experience and passion to ensure we deliver excellent patient care. And that’s where I see my main focus – working with our physicians, staff and volunteers to ensure our patients and families have an excellent experience, each and every time they come to Humber River Hospital. Q: HRH is North American’s first fully digital hospital. How

with an MBA from Queen’s University, Collins has more than 35 years experience in all major clinical and management functions of an acute care hospital. The Mirror caught up with Collins to ask about her new job, the role technology plays in health care and the hospital’s focus going forward.

has technology helped when it comes to health care? A: There’s really no other hospital building like this on the continent. The technology is quite amazing. Some of it plays a big role in allowing better communication among our care providers as a team, as well as with their patients and family members. For example, with a surgery patient’s permission, a family member anywhere in the world can receive a text informing them at each stage where the patient is at – when they enter the operating theatre, how surgery is progressing, when it is over, when they enter the recovery room and when the family can see them. Q: What’s the feedback been since the new hospital opened? A: The reaction has been very, very positive for the most part. Patients and families especially like the single inpatient rooms

– there’s a real feeling of privacy and comfort in having your own room and your own three-piece bathroom. The family zone in the room for a family member to stay overnight has been a big hit. It has a full-length sleeper bed that provides a comfortable resting space, a separate reading light, privacy curtain and great views of the city. Q: What is the hospital’s focus now that the new building is open? A: As I mentioned earlier, taking this great new building that we now have, and working with my team to deliver excellent health care every day. That’s our core business – it’s what we need to do for every patient: compassionate, professional, respectful care. Every patient. Every day.

And with six portables in use as classrooms, the 1.83acre site simply could not expand any further, she said of the need to move. “The existing St. Simon is in poor condition and is undersized,” Puccetti said. “(The new school) will be a vast improvement compared to the older building we’re in

No one should live in squalor T

oronto Council is being asked to approve a system to licence the city’s landlords, and we believe it’s an idea whose time has come. At a committee meeting last week discussing the issue, Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks came out strongly in favour of the proposal. “We have a duty to make sure that no one in the City of Toronto lives in squalor,” he said. “That’s an absolute minimum requirement that we have to meet and if we don’t meet it, we’re failing in our responsibilities as councillors.” We couldn’t have said it better if we’d written the motion ourselves. It is without question the responsibility of our elected officials to make sure we have rules and regulations in place that guarantee basic human dignity. The thought of people living in “squalor,” as Perks described it, is something that belongs in the pages of history. Of course such conditions are our view unacceptable, and our city must have the legal means to enforce Toronto has laws preventing such a thing. duty to protect To that end, councillors will be voting on a bylaw at their meettenant rights ing on June 7 that will allow the city to directly fine landlords who are not meeting minimum standards. As it stands now, fines against landlords are levied by the province. The new bylaw would see the city impose the fines as part of administrative fees and it would also make sure buildings are regularly inspected, rather than when complaints are made, which is how the current system works. Councillors are also being asked to improve the inspection system for rental apartments and to set minimum standards for when the city itself will come in and do the work and bill the landlord. Also, councillors are being asked to approve the city collecting more detailed information about landlords who constantly violate the rules and to set up a rating system. Those are two more good ideas councillors should be acting on. It should be noted the biggest landlord in Toronto is actually the city itself through Toronto Community Housing (TCH). And as of last week, TCH was at the top of the list of complaints at LandLordWatch.com, which advocates for tenant rights in the city, One hopes that along with getting tough on landlords in the private sector, these new city standards and rules will also improve the quality of publicly owned housing as well.

It’s easy for mayor to say no to Expo 2025

xpo 2025, here in Toronto, with a major build in the city’s port lands, the eyes of the world on us, fancy pavilions from around the world, visitors from everywhere... How’s that sound? Tough to say no. Actually, it looks as though it will be pretty easy for Toronto to say no. On Monday, Mayor John Tory offered as tepid a response as he could to a letter from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicating the federal government would be interested in exploring a bid. He was even more tepid Tuesday, after a group of business and political leaders came to Toronto City Hall to offer up a privatesector funded business case for hosting the exposition. A study advocating a business case – that, he was

david nickle the city fine with. But a commitment to hosting the event that involved either significant city expenditure or funding from other levels of government that might cut into money that would otherwise go to the city? Not likely. It would, in fact, have been very difficult for the mayor to say anything else this week, as his Executive Committee was grappling with a bombshell report from City Manager Peter Wallace talking about Toronto’s long-term fiscal forecast. The report has been floating around for more than a week, and its findings are stark: Toronto is headed for a fiscal cliff, and soon.

GET CONNECTED, LIKE US ON FACEBOOK

Council’s two contradictory imperatives – to provide fulsome services and infrastructure, and to minimize the tax burden on property owners – means that very soon, Toronto Council will no longer be able to balance its annual budget. How, under those circumstances, do you say yes to a plan to host a world’s fair 25 years into the 21st century, of the sort that was really only a big deal in the middle of the 20th century? It’s not to say that an oldfashioned Expo wouldn’t bring some benefit to the city and the country. It would showcase the city to interested, forwardlooking visitors. And it would maintain that interest over the better part of a year. But really, Toronto can do all of that on its own, and is doing that on its own. The port lands are

already undergoing a major redevelopment and regeneration, meticulously planned and with great private-sector interest. Those precincts don’t need pavilions – they need parkland and housing and office/industrial space. We are already undergoing a massive and at-least partially funded public transit expansion. Would a successful Expo bid accelerate that? Or would it simply shift funding to other transit projects that might benefit visitors better than Torontonians? Last year, Tory did something that few other mayors have done, and said no to a potential Olympic bid. It’s not hard to see a repeat performance when it comes to Expo.

Toronto Taste helps Second Mural is in neighbourhood Harvest food rescue program highlighted by annual FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com

More than 60 restaurants and 30 beverage purveyors will help raise funds for Second Harvest through Toronto Taste on Sunday, June 12. Now in its 26th year, funds raised from the downtown event will help the North York charity rescue fresh, healthy food that would otherwise go to waste and deliver it to more than 220 social service agencies across the Greater Toronto Area. Some 1,500 attendees are expected, with the goal of raising at least $750,000. “We’re looking forward to an unforgettable culinary experience at Toronto Taste,” Debra Lawson, executive director of Second Harvest, said in a release. “This year promises to be bigger and better than ever before and we are thrilled to host an all-star lineup of Toronto’s brightest and most celebrated chefs and beverage purveyors.” Since 1991, the event has raised more than $11 million to support Second Harvest’s food rescue program. This has enabled the organization to rescue enough fresh, surplus food to support hundreds of social service agen-

cies across the GTA with more than 27 million meals for children, adults and seniors experiencing hunger in the city. “Twenty per cent of all of our fundraising comes directly from Toronto Taste, making this event critical for Second Harvest’s success,” Lawson said.

“

Twenty per cent of all of our fundraising comes directly from Toronto Taste, making this event critical for Second Harvest’s success.

– Debra Lawson, Second Harvest executive director

Long-time Toronto Taste participant Dufflet Rosenberg, owner of the eponymous pastry cafes, said she feels strongly about food waste. “We have participated at Toronto Taste every year right from the beginning 25 years ago,” she said in an email. “We have always

donated our surplus cakes to local shelters and fundraisers and have been on Second Harvest’s pick-up route for a long time. We feel strongly about not throwing away good food made with fine ingredients when with a little effort it can be shared with someone in need.” New this year to Toronto Taste, Second Harvest will offer three individuals the opportunity to become sous chef during the Chef Challenge for one of the three competing chefs: Kaya Ogruce, Darby Piquette, and Ivana Raca. Also, one top fundraiser will earn a spot at the all-star judge’s panel alongside Cynthia Beretta, chef Nick Liu, chef Matt DeMille, and chef Juriaan Snellen. Toronto Taste will be held at Corus Quay, 25 Dockside Dr., at 6 p.m. Admission is $260, of which $125 is tax deductible. Attendees must be 19 years of age or older.

Yorkdale Shopping Centre added a new urban farm, led by Frank Ferragine, to help boost sustainability initiatives. Submitted photo

A growing trend in Toronto and other cities around the world, urban farming is meeting the needs of a growing population JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With the world’s population expected to boom to as many as 11 billion people by 2050 and more and more people looking to go green and buy locally, urban farming is growing in popularity in Toronto and other cities around the world. Toronto welcomed two more urban farms in recent days, with food plants being grown in crates in order to help feed some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. At Scadding Court Community Centre, a new crate garden installed by urban gardening initiative The Bowery Project and local volunteers will see 250 square feet of food being grown. It features 500 milk crates stacked two crates high, with plants being grown in the uppermost crate. Given that soil in cities often contains contaminants, the two-crate stacks help ensure the soil in which the food is grown is

clean and free of toxins. Rachel Kimel, who co-founded The Bowery Project (www.boweryproject.ca) with Deena DelZotto a few years ago, said the Scadding crate garden would support the surrounding community in several ways. “The food grown here will support Alexandra Park throughout its revitalization, along with the (Scadding Court) community centre and its food programs and a local youth centre,” she said. “It’s also a good way to engage local youth. Alexandra Park youth will do the maintenance work, and it helps connect people because when you’re out getting dirty in the garden, there are no language barriers.” The garden is one of several initiated by Kimel and DelZotto since 2014. “We have a site outside the YMCA building at 7 Vanauley with 1,500 milk crates where all the food gets directed into the homeless shelter,” said Kimel.

Scadding Court Community Centre executive director Kevin Lee said his organization would also provide volunteers to help maintain the new crate garden, adding that a local women’s shelter has also offered to lend a hand. “It’s a great initiative to help animate urban spaces and create edibles here in the city,” he said. “This project fits in with our plan to help improve food security and food access in the community.” Yorkdale Shopping Centre has also added a new urban farm, led by Frank Ferragine (also known as Frankie Flowers) to help boost sustainability initiatives and give back to the community. “I got the idea when I first saw Fenway Farms at Fenway Park in Boston and thought ‘that’s pretty compelling,’” Ferragine said. “I’d been helping Yorkdale with their

internal planting to help make it more welcoming and saw they have a lot of roof space that would be great to grow food on.” While the initial plan was to plant Yorkdale’s Elevated Eats urban farm – which grows plants in specialized crates – atop Yorkdale’s food court, the ability of the roof to support such a structure, the fact that Yorkdale is in a flight path and other issues led to the initiative being moved, at least for the time being, to the office building parking deck at 1 Yorkdale Road (south end of the mall). “Right now it’s a test farm,” Ferragine said. “It’s about 1,000 square feet but the goal next year is to grow it to 5,000 square feet.” That should be possible once the shopping centre’s renovation

is complete. Elevated Eats features more than 25 kinds of edibles, including herbs such as rosemary, basil and oregano, several types of lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries and more. The food grown and harvested there, or proceeds from the sale of the food, will go toward Daily Bread Food Bank. “It’s a great opportunity for us to give back to the community,” said Yorkdale Shopping Centre general manager Claire Santamaria. “It’s also an extension of the sustainable initiatives we have here. For instance, 60 per cent of our expansion’s roof area will be a green roof with the runoff being used as grey water in our toilets and for other non-drinking water uses.” The urban farm will also be open to school groups who can learn more about farming at the site.

Band released statement to fans on website Tuesday >>>from page 1 never be predicted with certainty”, Perry said he didn’t foresee any issues with the group’s planned summer tour. He also couldn’t predict how long the singer has left to live, as it varies from patient to patient, though he did note this type of cancer does return. “It’s a bit of an emotional day today,” said Bernie Breen, one of Downie’s managers. “I feel the same way everyone in the country does. Shock, and now what’s next and how can we help?” Questioning Downie’s health for a summer tour, his manager Patrick Sambrook said the icon wouldn’t attempt this if he didn’t feel up to it. “Gord doesn’t want to go out unless he can do his thing,” he said. Word of Downie’s diagnosis came earlier Tuesday

Gord Downie (second from left) was diagnosed last December with terminal brain cancer. The Tragically Hip are planning a final Canadian tour this summer.

when the band released a statement on their website. “Hello friends,” the statement reads. “We have some very tough news to share with you today, and we wish it wasn’t so. A few months ago, in December, Gord Downie was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Since then, obviously, he’s endured a lot of difficult times, and he has been fighting hard. In

privacy along with his family, and through all of this, we’ve been standing by him.” The statement went on to say “so after 30-some years together as The Tragically Hip, thousands of shows, and hundreds of tours... we’ve decided to do another one. This feels like the right thing to do now, for Gord, and for all of us... so, we’re going to dig deep, and try to make this our best tour yet.”

Mayor Tory and Executive Committee vote to keep council the same size

Are you a healthy, non-smoking,

DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com

MALE OR FEMALE 18 AND OVER?

Mayor John Tory’s Executive Committee has punted a report recommending new city council ward boundaries to October and asked its authors to show how council could remain the same size as now. The report from consultants had recommended Toronto council increase in size by three, from 44 to 47, in order to equalize representation in a growing city. But Tory made it clear he wouldn’t support an increase in council’s size. “I have nothing against politicians – I am one – but I think we have enough of them to do the job effectively,” Tory said. Tory’s motion to refer the report back to the city manager and the outside consultants was approved by committee unanimously.

Mayor John Tory

The committee will hear from them again Oct. 26, following further consultation and various refinements to the map. The current recommendation would see councillors added in the former North York and downtown Toronto, and retain the old municipal boundaries of Etobicoke on the Humber River and Scarborough on Victoria Park Avenue. Ward 30 Councillor Paula Fletcher said that some con-

sideration should be given to setting ward boundaries that also respected the former municipalities of East York and York or, conversely, that a 44-ward city might have to consider “piercing” the boundaries of Etobicoke and Scarborough. “We may have to stop the Humber River and Victoria Park being sacred,” she said. “If we’re going to be honouring the boundaries of Scarborough and Etobicoke, we’re going to have to think about other legacy municipalities.” Tory’s motion asked the consultants to consider respecting the current community council boundaries, which save Scarborough do not reflect the former municipal boundaries. As well, the consultants have been asked to look again at the 47 ward option and consider reducing it to 46 wards.

#60YearsFresh

Catch Stage Center Production’s version of You Never Can Tell Stage Center Productions wraps up their 39th season with George Bernard Shaw’s early comedy You Never Can Tell. The focus here is on a penniless dentist named Valentine, who finds he is falling in love. The object of his affection is Gloria Clandon, the eldest daughter of a celebrated author of a series of books promoting 20th century principles. Following her mother’s “modern” thinking, Gloria disdains the idea of love and marriage. Meanwhile, her rambunctious siblings Dolly and Phil have invited the dentist to lunch along with his landlord who just happens to be their long estranged father. Shaw has provided the basic ingredients so all you need to make this soufflé rise is a dedicated cast and production team. Scott Griffith directs the piece with a crisp edge ensuring that every comic line

mark andrew lawrence front row centre generates the appropriate laughs. Playing the dentist, Holm Bradwell has a masterful delivery, articulating Shaw’s words beautifully yet casually so they do not come across as scripted lines but rather as natural expressions of the character’s thoughts and feelings. Playing Gloria, Kate MacDonald delivers a performance of forthright determination that only later slips a little to reveal her true romantic longings. Adding spice to their scenes are Sara Jackson and Stephen Vani playing the twins Dolly and Phillip who don’t so much enter each scene, but appear to be bouncing all over the stage practically finishing each other’s sentences. They are in sharp contrast to their mother, Mrs. Clandon, played with grace and charm by Heather Goodall. Her reac-

tion upon learning that the guest the twins invited to lunch with them is none other than her estranged husband is delicious. Michel Chodos is properly uptight as the estranged father uncomfortable in being reacquainted with his family. The play gets rolling quickly and the laughter builds as the show rolls merrily along. This is a very funny play and well worth seeing. After all, you don’t have to go all the way to Niagara-on-the-Lake to see a first-class production of one of Shaw’s most popular plays. You Never Can Tell is playing through Saturday at Fairview Library Theatre, 35 Fairview Mall Dr. For tickets, visit www. StageCentreProductions. com

Bad Toronto landlords outed on new website TCH properties have 452 violations A website listing the 100 “worst” landlords in Toronto has launched on the eve of a debate on a possible bylaw to

require a licence to rent out apartments. T h e w e b s i t e , LandlordWatch: Toronto is based on a similar listing in the out-of-control rental market in New York City, which lets potential tenants

know when they might be signing a lease to regret. complaints The website lists buildings and landlords, and aggregates information on complaints

that have been made to the city about particular properties. “Generally what you see is neglect,” he said. “So if you have renters asking to fix something and they don’t fix it, so the renter

has to call the city. These problems range from everything from bedbugs, roaches, moulds, to no heat or hot water, or just that the grass isn’t cut.” The website ranks properties by the number of city

investigations they’ve sparked over the last year. And as far as landlords go, Toronto Community Housing is the worst by a mile, with 452 violations through its holdings. -David Nickle

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Working with Sam Samivand on the sale of our home couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Sam originally met with us to go over his process which was extremely thought through and strategic. We liked that he only put in place steps that generated true interest in the property - not just including something that has “always been done” but doesn’t positively influence the sale. He also respected and incorporated our own needs and comfort levels in this process which was very much appreciated. What was also impressive was that he really helped manage our expectations on what we could get for the sale of our home. He was always fully prepared - showing us historical sale prices on comparable homes as well as discussing in detail the current state of the market leveraging his experience and knowledge in the industry. He provided us with an educated but realistic estimate of a price range that he felt that we could get for our home - he wasn’t just trying to impress us by guessing the potential for the highest possible bid. The marketing materials used were very targeted and of high quality and the professional photos beautifully presented the home. The actual sale was done in one evening with Sam strategically negotiating the multiple offers submitted. We ending up selling our home at record prices in our neighbourhood! We couldn’t have been happier with the end result and that was all due to Sam’s expertise and customized strategy that he put in place for us. Thank you Sam for making the sale of our home as easy and successful as possible. Michael Whittaker and Vanessa Martin

College Street rush hour full of bikes An advocacy group claims there are nearly as many bicycles on College Street during rush hour as there are cars. Cycle Toronto says it found from 5 to 6 p.m. 46 per cent of road users at the intersection of College and Spadina Avenue were cyclists, compared to 54 per cent cars, according to a traffic count completed last September. According to the group, the result is particularly impressive since just 19 per cent of the road is dedicated for cyclists in the form of bike lanes. Toronto Council is expected to debate a 10-year cycling plan for bike lane expansion at its June monthly meeting. says it wbombardier can meet deadlines

Just a few days after Bombardier announced a plan to deliver all of Toronto’s new streetcars on schedule comes word

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT another prominent transit project is postponed. Production issues are affecting KitchenerWaterloo’s ION light rail cars, which are under construction by the transportation giant, meaning the light rail project is now scheduled to open in early 2018. Late last week, Bombardier announced it was shifting production from its Thunder Bay plant to dedicate the facility’s operations full-time to the TTC streetcars. Bombardier is still optimistic it can fill the full order of 204 new streetcars, of which it has delivered 18 so far, by 2019. urged to help low wTTC income earners

The city’s most prominent transit advocacy group is looking to drum up sup-

port ahead of a critical TTC board meeting. In an attempt to ratchet the pressure up on the board, TTCriders is circulating a petition calling for more considerations for low-income transit users. With the TTC board expected to debate forthcoming recommendations at the May 31 meeting on providing fare relief, TTCriders is making its own demands. It wants: • fares reduced to zero for riders on social assistance; • Metropass and token prices frozen for anyone earning under $22,000 a year; • and discounts for social service agencies making fare purchases.

According to Blayne Lastman, noooooobody’s better at helping kids in need of urgent care than the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Lastman, the well-known owner of the Lastman’s Bad Boy furniture chain, dropped by the hospital on Friday to deliver a $208,000 cheque in support of SickKids’ Labatt Family Heart Centre. The funds were raised through customer and staff donations, supplier support and through the chain itself. He was greeted by SickKids Foundation president Ted Garrard, SickKids head of cardiovascular surgery Glen Van Arsdell and SickKids ambassador Jonathan Richardson as he made the impressive donation. “There’s no better institution in the world for kids,” he said. “I met Dr. Van Arsdell a couple of years ago and his love of the game (keeping children healthy) is incredible. Given how much he loves

what he does, well that got to me too.” Richardson, 13, has been nicknamed “Captain Cardiac” by his friends at school. While still in utero, he was diagnosed with a heart defect that left him essentially with half a heart and he has subsequently undergone three open heart surgeries, the first when he

was only three days old. “It’s my home away from home,” the youngster said of SickKids. “It’s where my doctors and nurses took care of me. Every year when I come for my check-up, they say hi, tell me how much I’ve grown and how well I’m doing – and I am doing well.”

CAA set to reveal list today of the worst roads in the province The votes are in and the C a n a d i a n Au t o m o b i l e Association (CAA) is getting set to reveal the worst road in the province. Representatives from the association’s Southern Ontario chapter will reveal the “winners” of The Worst Roads campaign, which relies on public feedback to uncover the most pot-hole strewn, congested or just plain dangerous road in the entire province. Last year, a road in Timmins was the winner, but Toronto factored heavily into the top

COME RUN IT OUT. WALK IT OUT. TALK IT OUT.

10, with former worst roads recipient Dufferin Street and Bayview Avenue both making the list. The campaign ran for almost the entire month of April and allowed for roads to be nominated or voted via www.caaworstroads.com In contrast to past campaigns, this year’s contest allowed stretches of road to be nominated, for example Yonge Street between Leslie Street and Lawrence Avenue. The results will be revealed 8 a.m. on Thursday at Evergreen Brickworks.

“People from a couple other startups got together and (although) they were starting apps and techs companies and I was starting a brick and mortar place it was interesting to see the different perspectives,” she says. “Some were having issues with staffing and training so it was good to find that common ground even through our industries are completely different.”

For Gauravi Shah, cooking was just a hobby, something to do in the evenings to distract herself from the daily grind of working as a nuclear engineer in Pickering. That is, until she discovered she had a genuine knack for it.
