Women’s shelter season ender expands reach with opening of new head office LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com The North York Women’s Shelter will be showing off its new head office at an open house on Friday, Oct. 12.

The new office will allow shelter staff to offer transitional support services to women and children trying to rebuild their lives after experiencing domestic violence.

Women can find out how to leave violent situations.

Or, if they have already left their abusers, they can learn about services that will help them transition into their new lives.

The location of the organization’s emergency shelter has been kept confidential for the past 28 years for the safety of families living there.

Because of that, the shelter has not been able to provide a public place where women can find out about transitional support services.

Opening a new head office means those services can now be offered, executive director Charlene Catchpole said.

“The most difficult time for the women we serve is when she has made the brave decision to leave >>>office, page 3

Habitat families spend Thanksgiving in new homes LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com This Thanksgiving was especially memorable for two North York families, who were given the keys to their

new Habitat for Humanity homes just before the holiday.

Sabah Omar and next-door neighbour Maryan Hilowle were filled with gratitude at a heartwarming ceremony last Thursday that saw

them taking over ownership of the semi-detached houses at 63 and 65 Giltspur Dr. near Sheppard Avenue and Jane Street.

Surrounding them for the celebration were members of the con-

struction crew, volunteers with the Home Depot Canada Foundation, who helped the families build their new accessible and environmentally friendly houses in just 10 days.

“I appreciate everybody who

helped us,” said Omar, his wife, Gunay Kassapoglu, and their three children at his side.

“You make my family, my kids, happy. Every day, I’m going to thank >>>’you’, page 3

‘You built a future’ homeowner says >>>from page 1 God, I’m going to thank you guys.”

All Habitat for Humanity families must contribute 500 hours of “sweat equity” as part of their partnership agreement with the organization.

However, although Omar worked for 15 years as a drywaller and painter after he and his wife came to Canada from Iraq in 1994 seeking a better life, he suffered a debilitating hand injury in 2009 and can no longer work.

Instead, Kassapoglu contributed the sweat equity, working alongside the volunteers who built the home.

“My wife did construction work.

She worked hard every day,” Omar said.

The couple has three children, Derya, 11, Ahmed, 6, and Hussin, 3, who has a prosthetic foot and requires continuing medical care.

With his family facing tight finances and difficulty securing affordable housing, Omar said he is thrilled his family now has a new place to call home.

“It is everything for me, a future for my kids,” he said.

Hilowle was also thankful for the new home she will share with her mother and son.

“Thank you, everyone, thank you.

At a moment like this, I become speechless. Somehow, my emotions will overcome me,” she said.

“You did not just build a house. You built a future for someone like me so thank you, thank you so much.”

Hilowle moved to Canada from Somalia with her mother, Warsan, in 1993 and 11 years ago had her son, Issa.

Before moving into their Habitat home, the low-income family’s substandard home had faulty plumbing, which resulted in dirty water ruining many prized possessions and furniture, mould in the closets and broken appliances.

Hilowle graduated in 1999 from Humber College in business management and completed a leadership program at York University. She is now a community safety co-ordinator.

As the keys were handed over, the

families and volunteers chanted the word “oyee,” Swahili for “we can do it.”

After 10 busy days of construction and camaraderie, the most “poignant” moment of a Habitat build is the dedication ceremony when the front door keys are handed over to the families, Habitat for Humanity Canada president, Stewart Hardacre, said.

“It is that moment when the collective efforts of Habitat for Humanity staff, volunteers and corporate sponsors have helped provide the opportunity for a better future to two much deserving partner families,” he said.

Habitat’s goal is to empower lowincome families to build a better future by breaking the cycle of poverty through affordable home ownership.

“For every day we make choices.

Some of these choices are simple and others more complicated. What to have for dinner, where to go on vacation, perhaps what school or university your son or daughter should attend,” Hardacre said.

“But what if your choices were about whether to pay the rent or to heat your home? Or to pay the rent or buy groceries for your family? Or to pay the rent or have proper medical care for your children? Unfortunately for too many Canadian families, these are the daily choices they must make.

Choices that most of us cannot imagine.”

Secure housing means children do better in school, family health improves, families put down roots and contribute to stronger communities and they build equity in the future, Hardacre said.

“What we at Habitat know for sure is that when we address this issue,

when we invest in long-term solutions to poverty housing, and change one families life at a time amazing things happen to them,” he said.

Emmanuel Church of the Nazarene Pastor Bill Sunberg offered blessings for the families as they took ownership of their new homes and for the volunteers who dedicated their time.

“We’ve heard lots of good sounds (from the construction site as they homes were being built). We’ve heard hammers and nails, we’ve heard power tools, we’ve heard people working together,” he said, pointing out there will be more joyful sounds to come.

“We hear laughter of kids playing, we hear families together, we hear a lot of positive things coming out of this neighbourhood. It’s amazing all that can happen in such a short time.”

Office to offer health and safety programs >>>from page 1 her abuser and come to our shelter and when she is leaving the shelter and transitioning into life on her own,” she said in a statement.

The head office provides a children’s play area, program space where women can take self-defence classes or yoga, a computer lab, and space where staff can provide counselling and help women write resumes.

“This new office offers us the opportunity to reach out to our community in ways we haven’t been able to before,” Catchpole said.

“We are proud to serve this com-

munity and look forward to being able to offer women and children programming that promotes empowerment, safety, health and healing.”

The new head office marks the first step of the shelter’s $4.5-million Hope Blooms fundraising campaign to build transitional housing for women and children.

The second-stage housing will help ease a backlog of women and children unable to move out of the emergency shelter because they can’t find safe and affordable housing to move into.

A single woman seeking an afford-

able bachelor apartment typically stays at the shelter for about nine months. A woman with three or four children can be there for 12 to 14 months.

That means shelter staff often make the “heartbreaking” decision to turn away women and children needing emergency refuge because there is no room, Catchpole said.

They are referred to the police and other social agencies.

Last year, the shelter turned 387 families away.

The new transitional housing would provide women and children

with rent-geared-to-income units for up to a year.

Abused women who can’t find a safe and affordable place to live between the emergency refuge of a shelter and permanent housing often return to abusive situations and a cycle of violence, according to Hope Blooms co-ordinator Sojie Tate.

The head office open house will be held at 1140 Sheppard Ave., west of Allen Road on Friday from noon to 5 p.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1:30 p.m.

Refreshments will be served and everyone is invited.

Voyeur suspect nabbed at Sheppard station Police have arrested a man in a voyeurism investigation at Sheppard subway station Thursday.

Police said as women got off the train, the accused would follow them to the escalator, standing directly behind them with a camera phone rolled into a newspaper to record under their skirts. When the accused reached the top of the escalator, he would return to the platform to wait for another train.

A witnesses saw this and made a citizen’s arrest, with the assistance of a second citizen, around 3:30 p.m.

Is transit expansion beneficial?

A salute to our newspaper carriers

T

his is International Newspaper Carrier Week.

Around the world, boys and girls, men and women deliver critical community information in a timely fashion, whether it’s news or advertising flyers.

We certainly appreciate the dedication of our newspaper carriers at The North York Mirror.

Why would someone become a newspaper carrier?

It’s a wonderful proving ground for a young person to develop life skills. It’s an excellent opportunity for an older carrier to earn money and feel satisfaction of a job well done while serving the community.

Here are six experiences that benefit a carrier: • Responsibility: A newspaper carrier accepts the challenge our view of satisfying their customer every single time they deliver a Carriers deliver newspaper to a doorstep. Being a newspaper carrier means one the news to has a commitment to customer our community service – and learns quickly the importance of reaching the customer’s doorstep with the newspaper each and every time.

• Handling money: For many carriers, having a newspaper route means the first time having a bank account. This develops yet another key life skill in a youth.

• Small business sense: The better customer service, the more smiles from customers. Miss a delivery and you deal with the complaint. A good carrier generally benefits with more tips from customers too!

• Confidence and sense of achievement: Being a carrier means tangible achievement every time a route is delivered. Every thank you from a customer teaches a carrier good work is rewarded. Knowing you deliver your route on time every time gives a carrier confidence and satisfaction of knowing a job inside out and doing it well.

• Discipline: Residents wait for their newspaper.

Calls for missed deliveries come in mere minutes after the time a customer usually gets their newspaper. The discipline developed through delivering a newspaper carries over into discipline in other life tasks.

• Understanding community: Your community newspaper is your window to community life. A carrier brings that life to your door. As a carrier, you get to know the people on the route – friends and neighbours – and that brings a neighbourhood community a little closer together.

So being a newspaper carrier is much more than simply taking a wagon through streets to put pieces of paper on the doorstep.

It’s ensuring a product that adds value to life in the community gets to the people of the community.

We salute our newspaper carriers and wish them much sunshine as they deliver their newspapers and flyers this week.

To the editor: Re: ‘City will get the transit it pays for,’ Editorial, Oct. 4 It would be interesting to have someone question the benefit of transit expansion.

My observations are that few buses in the hinterlands (outside Toronto) have enough passengers to pay their operating costs, let alone the capital invested.

Taking money in any of the forms outlined in the editorial is taking money from people who will not be able to benefit from the “expansion” because in most cases people will decide, “You can’t get there from here.”

It has been pointed out the density is nowhere close to what is required for efficient use of high-volume transit. The Sheppard subway is an example of poorly spent money and I submit the Spadina line extension to a parking lot in Woodbridge will be an ongoing drain on Toronto and Vaughan.

Meanwhile, back at the NHL lockout ...

E verybody keeps asking me to write about the National Hockey League player lockout. I’m more than happy to oblige. But before I do, being a Canadian, I have to first take off my Canada hat.

Born and bred here, hockey is in my DNA. To be truly objective on the subject, the beloved chapeau has got to go.

So, au revoir Canada hat.

I have to remove my NHL hat, too, of course. It wouldn’t look too good if somebody saw me writing about the NHL lockout on a laptop in the local coffee shop sporting my trusty NHL hat, now would it?

So, buh-bye NHL hat.

Ditto for my NHL Players’ Association hat, needless to say. I’m doffing it for the same obvious reasons.

My much cherished Toronto Maple Leaf hat has got to come off as well, it

but seriously

jamie wayne

saddens me to say. Sigh.

The sighing is because we go way back. So far back, it’s got Dickie Duff’s autograph on it. I hate to part with that even for a few moments. But there are sacrifices one has to make for the sake of credibility, so off it comes, too.

Adios Leaf hat.

And finally, much as I hate to, I also have to take off my favourite hat of all, my Dickie Duff hat.

Ironically, it’s got Davy Keon’s autograph on it. It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it some time.

Anyhow, that’s it for hats.

I’ve got a job to do. I’m glad to remove it, too. I’m

delighted to have them all off. I didn’t realize I wore so many hats. I feel like I just lost 20 pounds. And I didn’t even have to call Jenny. I saved a small fortune.

Now where was I? Oh yeah, the much requested update on the NHL lockout.

With all the hats I wear that could potentially compromise my position now officially off, it’s time to put on the appropriate hat for the occasion. No, not my journalistic hat. I was referring to my hat with the earplugs and earflaps over them. I couldn’t write about the lockout properly without that hat on. There’s only so much you can take.

So here’s where they stand. After a long break between talks, the owners and players finally got back to the bargaining table to discuss issues not deemed critical to the process, and NHL commissioner Gary

Bettman, who always plays his cards close to his vest, will say, “At least we’re talking, that’s a good sign.”

Then those talks will inevitably break off and a few days after they do, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, who plays his cards even closer to his vest, will say, “Just because we’re not talking that’s not necessarily a bad sign.”

Then the league will likely threaten to cancel another two weeks of regular season games. The sports media will speculate that the whole season could go down the tubes. And the fans won’t live happily ever after.

t’s not quite fair to say that Toronto Council utterly disgraced itself last week as it dealt with the devastating report by Toronto Ombudsman Fiona Crean on the city’s flawed and hamstrung public appointments process.

At the same time, if this council were your parents, you would have done everything possible to avoid bringing your fiance home for Thanksgiving dinner this year.

It’s almost sad to bring it up again, in the same way that families like city council don’t a week later dig at the way the turkey-and-scotch grudge match between Dad and Uncle Lothar ruined the holiday for the rest of the family.

So yes, the entire family that makes up Toronto Council did not disgrace itself. But faced with a report that sharply critiqued both the mayor’s office and some councillors who sit on the civic appointments committee, a small but significant rump of the ruling party smeared muck over the entire institution.

Crean’s report said that the mayor’s office had interfered in the 2011 civic appointments process to the point that city staff were unable to do a fair job. It found that the mayor’s staff had attempted to force staff to boycott a newspaper not in the mayor’s favour, and

THE CITY

david nickle

to remove any mention of diversity from city advertisements.

The report said that in one case, a potential appointee to a board had a conflict of interest, and when staff attempted to deal with it, an unnamed councillor, since identified as York West’s Giorgio Mammoliti, threatened staff members in a closed-door meeting.

The response from Mammoliti and some others was classic Thanksgivingdinner attack strategy.

Mammoliti began the debate by questioning Crean’s political neutrality. When this provoked an overly-angry response from Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks, which Perks later apologized for, Mammoliti huffed about the sorts of violent acts he might perform on his outof-line colleague.

Mammoliti explained it wasn’t so much Crean’s neutrality as that of the rest of city staff that was the problem, then came back and accused the ombudsman of being deliberately provocative.

Frances Nunziata, the speaker of council whose role is to maintain civility, was chair of the committee at the time of the threatening behaviour the report cited. She nearly brought Councillor Janet Davis to tears, after she implied that an unsubstantiated complaint she’d made about Davis’ conduct to the city’s integrity commissioner, in fact indicated that the leftleaning Davis had tried to influence the process too.

Budget Chief Mike Del Grande had the good sense to throw up his hands and leave the dinner table, as it were.

It was finally left to Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday to try and bring back civility and point out that the actual recommendations in the report – to create a more accountable way for staff to deal with the crucial process of putting private citizens on public boards – were possibly the one thing everyone could agree on. And in the end, it kind of worked.

The one thing we can be thankful for, looking back at this disgraceful display of civic behaviour, is that hard liquor is not available in the Council chambers. n David Nickle is The Mirror’s City Hall columnist. His column appears every Thursday. Contact him at dnickle@insidetoronto.com

or the last 22 years, Malti Gupta has braved wind, snow, sleet and rain to deliver newspapers for Toronto Community News (TCN) every week to as many as 1,000 of her neighbours – and no matter the weather, she always does so with an infectious smile on her face.

“If we had 500 of her, we would be 500 times better.

She’s just one of those really great carriers that we wish we had more of,” said Donna Umpleby, a circulation manager with TCN, which publishes nine community newspapers across Toronto.

“She’s just a great lady with a great spirit and great personality. Malti’s always positive.

She’s a perfect example of what a carrier should be.”

As TCN’s longest standing carrier, Gupta is being recognized for her dedication during this week’s International Newspaper Carrier Week.

The annual appreciation week honours the hundreds of thousands of men and women like Gupta who make such an important contribution to the industry.

“Our carriers really are the lifeblood of what we do here at Toronto Community News,” said TCN’s Director of Circulation Mike Banville, noting that TCN’s workforce of

more than 3,000 carriers aged 10 to 90 deliver more than a million papers weekly to the communities within Toronto.

“They are so, so important to what we do.”

For Gupta, who began carrying for The Scarborough Mirror on Feb. 6, 1990, the job has been one that was born of convenience and has grown into a passion over the years.

“When I started, I wasn’t getting the paper. All of my neighbours were, but I wasn’t,” she explained with a laugh.

When she called TCN’s offices to explain her conundrum, one of The Mirror’s then-managers asked Gupta if she would like to take on the problem route herself – and thus guarantee herself delivery every week. Gupta, who was running a daycare out of her Scarborough home at the time, readily agreed. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Gupta, who came to Canada from India in 1970, began by delivering The Mirror 22 years ago to just the houses on her street, but as time went on and she garnered a reputation for reliability, her route steadily grew. At her peak, she was delivering more than 1,000 newspapers two times a week.

“I love walking and I found I’ve met some really, really nice people over the years.

Transit union launches new media awareness campaign RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com The TTC’s largest labour union announced plans for a media awareness campaign to debut this fall which will spotlight the efforts of thousands of maintenance workers toiling behind the scenes to deliver transit.

On Tuesday, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113 president Bob Kinnear unveiled the Protecting What Matters campaign, which will highlight the contributions of 3.500 union maintenance workers.

Ads will appear on television, inside TTC vehicles and at film screenings at Cineplex movie theatres.

In addition, a website has been created for the campaign, which will spotlight individual stories of the workers under the slogan “We take care of the details that take care of you”.

Kinnear, who unveiled the campaign to the media gathered in the Sheraton Centre

Air C

‘Maintenance workers are some of the greatest assets of the city, but they are practically invisible.’

– Bob Kinnear, union president in downtown Toronto, said the ads were designed to educate Torontonians on the daily efforts of maintenance workers in keeping the system’s aging transit fleet running smoothly and safely.

“We think that’s a great story that deserves public attention,” said Kinnear. “Maintenance workers are some of the greatest assets of the city, but they are practically invisible.”

Kinnear said the public – and TTC management – should learn more about what it takes from workers to ensure the TTC remains one of the safest transit systems in North America.

“It’s perplexing to us why that is never discussed and we’re hoping this campaign will bring about a greater appreciation from the public,” he said.

Applauding the campaign, TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said the relationship between the workers and management remains positive, despite a “bump in the road” arising from a decision approved by commission in late September to contract out around 160 cleaning jobs to the private sector.

“Our maintenance workers deserve the attention and we’re as proud of them as the union is,” said Ross.

Kinnear said the timing of the campaign was intended to coincide with anticipated public consultations regarding long-term transit funding. Without providing a preference for what revenue generating tool he’d like to see implemented, he said the decision should be left to elected officials.

“Council has made a decision that it no longer wants plastic bags, but there’s a question of phase in, there’s a question of the types of bags you do allow,” he said. “You can do an awful lot.”

Consultations will happen between now and Nov. 27, when council will consider the new bylaw.

Toronto Council has approved a plan to consult with retailers, the plastics industry and the general public before final approval of a bylaw banning single-use plastic bags from Toronto retailers.

Minnan-Wong made the comments two days after he and fellow councillor Peter Milczyn attempted to convince council to re-open the decision they’d made in July, to ban all plastic bags.

Council had done so by supporting an amendment

by Willowdale Councillor David Shiner, on the same matter that Mayor Rob Ford had held down to end the five cent fee the city requires retailers to charge for each plastic bag.

Ford had opposed that fee since it was put in place by former mayor David Miller’s council.

He also opposed the ban, and on Oct. 2, tried and failed to muster the two-thirds vote of council he needed to rescind the ban.

Now, council has only to vote on the specifics of the bylaw, which staff have yet to draft. Under council’s

York readies for Red and Blue Bowl Toronto’s two university football teams – the University of Toronto Varsity Blues and the York Lions – meet up in the 43rd annual Red and Blue Bowl Game this Saturday at 1 p.m.

The U of T is hosting this year at the Varsity Stadium.

Both teams are coming off weekend losses, the U of T (which dropped to 2-4) 34-6 to Ottawa (1-5); and York (1-5) 54-14 to McMaster (6-0).

Since their first meeting in 1970, the Varsity Blues hold

the upper hand with a 26-16 head-to-head record over the York Lions.

The U of T has won the past four showdowns, including a close 10-8 victory last year, while previous to that, York squeaked out a 21-20 win in 2007 to cap a 13-game winning streak in the series.

Ryerson University does not field a football team.

The first 1,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a foam finger and the first 2,500 fans will receive free sunglasses at

the gate.

The Varsity Blues will celebrate their senior players in a special pre-game ceremony and the Toronto Argonauts, who host of the 100th Grey Cup this season, will also be in attendance to celebrate the Blues football program and Varsity Stadium at a special halftime presentation.

ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com When Brit Taylor stepped off the curb on Danforth Avenue, she just wanted to visit her sister as quickly as possible.

She paid for her haste with two weeks on bedrest after being hit by a van.

And for others who jaywalk, Taylor has this message: “It’s not worth it.”

The 23-year-old shared her story late last month, as police held a pedestrian safety blitz at 13 busy intersections across Toronto.

Taylor was jaywalking while listening to music on her iPod when a blue cargo van hit her on Danforth near Carlaw Avenue around 11:30 a.m. Aug. 27.

“I’m leaving the gym, grabbed some walnuts, started crossing the street,” she said. “The traffic was a little dead, and instead of going up to the lights, I decided to cross behind and weave through traffic.”

She made it across two lanes.

As she stepped into the third, she noticed a van coming towards her.

But it was too late to avoid a collision.

“It took me forward instead of running me over, so I got lucky with that,” Taylor said.

A team of firefighters also happened to be nearby and tended to her until paramedics arrived.

Taylor suffered serious injuries and was bedridden for two weeks.

She still walks with a bit of a limp and hasn’t been able to return to work.

“I’m that type of person where I’m always on the go,” said Taylor, noting jaywalking became a habit.

Now she vows never to do it again.

“I pay a lot more attention. I like

to make eye contact now with anybody that I’m crossing in front of,” she said. “I’m a lot slower, taking my time, and a lot more conscious of what’s going on around me.”

That’s also the message police gave pedestrians during the “Smart Walk” initiative.

“The intent is not to give out tickets but to share some safety information,” Toronto police Sgt. Jack West said. “When they’re crossing at an intersection, we’re trying to encourage pedestrians to put their cellphone down, walk across the street and scan, watch for turning vehicles.”

Despite what she’s been through, Taylor said she wants to send an apology letter to the motorist who struck her.

“It’s going to be traumatic for him, too. He just hit somebody. He’s probably livid at me,” she said. “I want him to know I’m really sincerely sorry.”

Seventeen pedestrians have died as a result of collisions in the city so far this year. And many more have been injured.

“You think it’s not going to happen to you, but it definitely can,” Taylor said. “Just don’t jaywalk.”

City News

Executive committee recommends surveying Toronto residents on how to pay for transit Ford: ‘People of this city are taxed to death’ DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto’s Executive Committee has recommended sending staff out to ask Toronto residents just how they’d be willing to pay for potentially billions of dollars of public transit improvements.

But for Mayor Rob Ford, it will take a big answer in the affirmative to convince him to support any revenue generating tools beyond the provincial and federal governments, and the private sector.

“The people of this city are taxed to death and they don’t want new taxes,” said Ford as the committee was getting ready to vote on the proposed public consultation process Tuesday. “I’m not going to support anything unless the taxpayers of Toronto come out and say they want a new tax – and I don’t think they will – but that’s why we’re doing a consultation.”

The consultation will be going

forward prior to a final report this spring, spelling out the sorts of taxes, fees and tolls that the city might impose to improve public transit.

Toronto Council asked for this process after it rejected Ford’s plan to build a subway along Sheppard Avenue and ask the provincial government to bury the entire run of the new Eglinton LRT. Council rejected Ford’s idea that a public-private partnership was the best way to fund transit expansion like subways, and asked staff to come up with a way to find other ways that Toronto could go it alone funding major transit expansion.

TTC chair Karen Stintz and vicechair Glenn De Baeremaeker later came forward with a plan for other transit expansion, dubbed OneCity, which council rejected in favour of waiting for this report.

At the Executive Committee meeting, Stintz kicked off debate, arguing that the city needed to come up with a made-in-Toronto funding

solution.

She said that crucial pieces of transit infrastructure in Toronto, such as the Downtown Relief Line, would become lost in any regional plan that included priorities for transit expansion outside Toronto.

“We would be naïve if we thought (GTA municipalities) wanted to contribute to our downtown relief line,” she said. “I want to underscore... we cannot rely on the province to fund our transit needs. We’ve been waiting for too long.”

The committee endorsed the plan for consultation on a range of funding mechanisms, but, against the advice of both Stintz and city manager Joe Pennachetti, decided to include public-private partnerhsips in the advice they sought.

But the committee endorsed the overall plan uneasily. Committee member Denzil Minnan-Wong said the consultation needed to be “honest” with taxpayers, and likened the process to offering taxpayers a menu of “poisons”.

Later, he said that the consultation needed to take into account

taxpayers’ ability to pay.

“We all need more transit,” he said. “The real conversation is how much is this going to cost the average family. That’s the important part of the conversation we need to have. If we do select these revenue tools, how

‘We all need more transit.

The real conversation is how much is this going to cost the average family.

That’s the important part of the conversation we need to have. If we do select these revenue tools, how deep are our hands reaching into the pockets of the City of Toronto?’

– Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong

deep are our hands reaching into the pockets of the City of Toronto?”

Budget chief Mike Del Grande said it was necessary to let taxpayers know exactly what projects any new taxes would pay for, but he said that in the current model it was difficult to predict.

“People want to know specifically what is the order of the projects that are contemplated,” he said. “We at the local level aren’t in control of that.”

A number of members of the Executive Committee, however, supported the idea of selling the public on paying locally for massive transit improvements.

“Let’s make sure we’re masters of our own fate, that we come to a consensus of how we are going to pay for it,” said Scarborough-Agincourt Councillor Norm Kelly. “I wish everyone who is involved in the process well and I hope that in the end the residents and businesses of the GTA are wise enough, mature enough and can see far enough into the future. If it’s not for them, it’s certainly for their grandchildren.”

he genus ‘Cornus’, also known as Dogwoods, are a diverse group of trees and shrubs best known for their all-season beauty and moistureloving tendencies along slopes or ravines.

Red osier dogwood (Cornus sericea) is a native dogwood shrub with white flowers in late spring or early summer displaying bluish berries in late summer and remarkable red branches in winter.

You might recall the vibrant red of these stunning deciduous shrubs along the roadside while driving to cottage country. They tend to take up space with a suckering habit that’s easily kept under control with regular pruning. You may also use the excess branches for a winter arrangements.

Red osier dogwood grows about four to eight feet tall and is easily pruned to maintain its form. For exceptional fall colour, I prefer Winter Beauty Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea ‘Winter Beauty’).

The botanical name ‘Sanguinea’ means blood, describing the dramatic red fall foliage colour. Winter Beauty Dogwood also displays

unusual yellow-orange branches that have a beautiful effect in the white winter landscape.

For smaller gardens, there is a new variety called Arctic Fire Dogwood (Cornus Sericea ‘Farrow’), which is a compact, dwarf shrub showing brilliant red branches in the winter growing about three feet tall and wide.

A mass appeal gray, red and yellow dogwood looks best when planted in a group of three or more shrubs. The form and colour of the shrubs are appreciated more when they are planted in masses and repeated in groupings.

Alternatively for colour contrast, one yellow dogwood looks fabulous within a grouping of red dogwood.

A lot of gardeners plant one shrub here and a different shrub there which often tends to look disorganized and busy, especially in a smaller space. Simple is better when selecting plant

material and your goal should be to focus on a minimal palette of plants that work well in your garden.

Pagoda Dogwood (Cornus alternifolia) is my favourite native shrub or small tree for its picturesque form outlined with horizontal branches

and brilliant red fall foliage.

The cream-coloured flower clusters and unusual branching habit create an interesting contrast beside a brick wall or an evergreen shrub border.

Spring planting is highly recommended and the bark becomes more attractive as

the shrub ages. The mature height is 10 to 15 feet with a spread of about 20 feet.

The showy fruit is a bluishblack berry on a red stemmed cluster visible in late summer and may be grown in sun or shade conditions with adequate moisture. The birds

enjoy the berries and seek refuge in the branches.
