CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com The "rich" aviation history of Mount Dennis was recognized this past weekend with a special Heritage Toronto plaque presentation at Harding Park. The event, which was co-hosted by the Royal Canadian Air Force 400 Squadron Historical Society and the Toronto Chapter of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society (CAHS) on Saturday, July 15, included remarks on Trethewey Airfield’s historical significance from CAHS president Sheldon Benner, Lt. Col. Jillian Bishop of the RCAF 400 Squadron, and Russel Bannock, a Second World War vet and former president of de Havilland Canada. Once the site of a 600-acre model farm owned by mining magnate W. G. Trethewey, the Jane Street and Eglinton Avenue area property became internationally known as the Trethewey Airfield after hosting Toronto’s first-ever flying exhibition in 1910. l See HERITAGE page 5

COMMUNITY

High rise plan called ’a death trap’ FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Residents in the Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue area came out to a community meeting in droves to oppose a proposed residential development nearly double the height of surrounding buildings. About 100 residents of the Primrose Towers condominiums and nearby apartment renters packed inside the gymnasium of Antibes Community Centre Wednesday, July 12, to voice concern over a development they say will add cars to an already congested area full of speeders and cast shadows on existing property. The proposal by Pinedale Properties Ltd. at 6040 Bathurst St. and 5 Fisherville Rd. calls for a 19-storey, 179-unit rental apartment building on the south-west corner of the site and a 29-storey, 430unit condominium at the north-east corner, at Carpenter and Fisherville roads. The two existing rental apartment buildings at the sites would remain. Five townhouses are also proposed for the west edge of the proposed rental building. Vehicles entering and existing the proposed condominium would use the existing driveway onto Fisherville Road, while a private driveway exiting to Bathurst Street would be built for the proposed rental building. While the proposed building type is permitted under zoning bylaws, the application requires amendments for building height, density, coverage, massing and location of the buildings. Carolyn Peters, who lives in the Primrose complex, presented a letter with 401 signatures of resi-

Another resident representing current tenants at 5 Fisherville Rd. and 6040 Bathurst St. came armed with a petition of more than 1,000 signatures also against the application. "I know in our three buildings, it’s on everyone’s minds," Peters said. "It’s not suitable in our neighbourhood, it’s more suitable for Yonge Street." Miriam Pinchuk and Barbara Cohen, who formed an ad hoc committee along with Peters to fight the proposal, both cited density and vehicular traffic as main points of contention.

would be a "bit presumptuous" for him to claim all the kinks have been ironed out. York Centre Coun. James Pasternak, whose office called the meeting, said the proposal is "unacceptable in its current form." "It’s my responsibility to protect the integrity of the community," he said, adding he’d like to see current area residents have first right of refusal for rental or ownership opportunities for the proposed development. Pasternak told The Mirror he anticipates a final report will be presented to North York Community council in early 2019.

Wounded men turn up in hospital after shooting Two men are recovering following a shooting outside a building in the Victoria Park and Eglinton avenues area Wednesday. Toronto police said the victims were in a parked car outside 42 Wakunda Pl. when two gunmen opened fire at 5:15 a.m. July 19. Const. Caroline de Kloet said the shooters fled on foot towards Victoria Park. "The victim in the shooting ended up driving away. They were located later in

hospital, where we were called for two victims of gunshots," she said. Const. Craig Brister said a man in his 40s was shot in the pelvis. His injury is not life-threatening. The other victim received a minor wound to his chin. "Witnesses heard several shots," de Kloet said. Police have vague descriptions of the suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call 54 Division at 416-808-5400.

is a death trap," Cohen said. "We want the best for the area and this isn’t the best." If any good has come out of this application, it’s the desire for residents to form a ratepayers’ association for the Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue area, which the neighbourhood currently lacks, Pinchuk said. Residents also took issue with a lack of green space in the area for children to play, and was told a parcel of city owned land at Carpenter Road and Bathurst Street could serve as a future playground site paid for by Pinedale Properties.

HISTORY

l Continued from page 1

The Ontario Motor League Aviation Meet - which ran from July 8-16, 1910 - also saw Trethewey Airfield become the site of the first distance flight over the City of Toronto on July 13 of that year, when French pilot Jacques de Lesseps flew his Bleriot XI monoplane the 20-mile circuitous route from the airfield to Humber Bay, to the Canadian National Exhibition grounds, to the Toronto Islands and back. Following that historic flight, the airfield - which thereafter became widely known as "de Lesseps Aerodome"- became a licensed airfield and remained popular with early aviators. The field’s continued use in aviation, said CAHS member Dr. Robert Galway, was thanks in large part to its inheritance in 1926 by Frank Trethewey - himself a Royal Naval Air Service enlistee from the First World War who had an extensive flying background. "He established his own flying service on the field," said Galway, who authored a book entitled Early Airfields of Toronto.

And he’s also pictured in his Bleriot IX mono-plane, also in 1910, completing the first distance flight over Toronto. 1930s base for the Royal Canadian Air Force 10 Squadron - which Trethewey Airfield went on to "It was also Frank Trethewey would later become the 110 City of become the site of de Havilland’s who, when he was approached by Toronto Squadron, then the 400 first North American assembly de Havilland (Aircraft Company Squadron.

It was "very rich history," Galway noted that’s when de Havilland Canada adopted in April 1935 by the City of that the site also served as the was formed."

Toronto, and redesignated the 110 City of Toronto Squadron in 1937. It flew five basic types of aircraft all biplanes - from Trethewey Airfield until late 1939, when it deployed for the war. "It was the home originating airfield for the RCAF 400 Squadron, which today is based at Camp Borden, as is the main maintenance centre for the RCAF’s Tactical Helicopter Squadrons." Trethewey Airfield was then closed in the mid-1940s, to be built over with homes for returning Second World War veterans and their families. Galway, who helped organize the fundraising efforts for the Trethewey Airfield plaque, called the Harding Park tribute a fitting one. "I think it’s hard to believe that, given it represents over a 100 years of Canadian aviation history, that it’s been kind of unremarked upon in any physical way until now," he said. "I feel quite fulfilled for being able to help resurrect this effort to recognize the history here. To finally see it come to fruition is one of the happier achievements of my older years."

ABOUT US

Extend timeline for minimum wage hike Committee hearings are underway on the province’s proposal to raise the minimum wage in Ontario to $15 by 2019. We don’t envy its members. These hearings, to be held across the province, are sure to attract passionate, reasoned, and even desperate responses from stakeholders on both sides of this issue. The government plans to hike the minimum wage, now set to rise with inflation from $11.40 an hour to $11.60 in October, up to $14 on Jan. 1, 2018, and to $15 the following year. Nearly nine per cent of Ontario workers are paid the minimum wage, the second highest total of any province. On the labour side, we can expect support for the hike, with advocates citing an improvement in living standards and an anticipated boost to economic activity. (Economic activity is increasingly critical, as Statistics Canada data shows more than half of the country’s economy is driven by consumer spending). Proponents of the hike can also point to a National Employment Law Project report in the U.S., which revealed that minimum wage hikes are likely to create more jobs than they kill. Official government data, gathered from between 1938 and 2009, in which there were 22 increases to the minimum wage, found that 68 per cent of the time, the employment rate had actually risen 12 months after the wage hike. On the business side, many appear alarmed by the timeline for the change, warning it will cause job losses, discourage investors and worse. Fanning the flames are additional proposed reforms – equal pay for part-time workers, increased vacation benefits and expanded personal-emergency leave. "Many Ontario employers, especially small businesses, are now considering closing their business because they do not have the capacity to successfully manage such reforms," read a statement by a coalition including the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Restaurants Canada and the Canadian Franchise Association. “There is no way to absorb and adjust to a 32 per cent hit in less than 18 months.” The group’s rhetoric is sufficiently severe that one wonders if the coalition’s prophecy of economic constriction will become self-fulfilling, should the proposals be adopted. In any case, this is a rare occasion in which both sides of the argument are persuasive and it will be fascinating to see the committee’s recommendations. Perhaps the best outcome would see the province extend the time frame for the wage increase sufficiently to relive some of the pressure felt by the business community.

The attempts by the Toronto Parking Authority to purchase the property at 1111 Arrow Rd., for what seems to be considerably more - $2.6 million more than it ought to be worth, almost feels like a throwback to pre-millennial times. That, older Torontonians may remember, was the age of MFP, the computer leasing company that convinced Toronto councillors and bureaucrats to sign a lease for desktop computers that wound up costing tens of millions of dollars more than they thought it

DAVID NICKLE The City would. There was a public inquiry - the Bellamy Inquiry, as it became known and the report that Madame Justice Denise Bellamy wrote reads like a John Grisham novel, as a lobbyist for the Mississauga-based company insinuated himself with senior staff and at least one wellplaced politician. The revelations shook

the city and ended careers, and the simple fact of what happened cost Toronto taxpayers significantly,. The parking authority deal may or may not be the same sort of thing. But here is an encouraging note: we are likely to find out, one way or another. The contrast between how Toronto Council dealt with the MFP scandal in 2002 and 2003, and the way that Toronto Council has dealt with the potential scandal at the parking authority is striking. Then, councillors were locked in a genuine debate about whether to dig deep into the problems with the computer lease that city manager Shirley Hoy re-

ported on. It got a bit ugly. This time out, councillors wasted no time. When the confidential report from Toronto’s auditor general came to the Audit Committee, its chair Stephen Holyday immediately made it public. When the matter came to Council, councillors spent the lion’s share of the meeting going over it, before immediately suspending the parking authority’s board and putting it into the hands of city staff. When the new board met, City Manager and Chair Peter Wallace put staff on administrative leave, and launched an investigation. It is good to see the impact of lessons learned well.

TRANSIT

Mission control: a look at the TTC behind the scenes One control room manages operations of all streetcars and subway trains, affecting thousands of transit riders

insidetoronto.com

RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com At the TTC’s Hillcrest campus, a group of transit workers has the not-sosimple task of co-ordinating operation throughout the network. This is the TTC’s Transit Control Unit, staffed 24/7 to monitor the performance of subway trains and streetcars. It’s mission control for transit operations, where vehicle movement is tracked, assistance dispatched and support provided. In short, it’s never boring. "If this was a dull job, we would have attracted a totally different kind of employee, but when they come here and work through a really big delay. it’s organized chaos," said Jim Ross, the TTC’s deputy chief operating officer. "Once you get hooked, you never want to leave. It’s stressful but something different every day." The control centre, whose exact location cannot be disclosed due to security reason, opened in 2004, but has undergone a major transformation since 2012, including installation of floor-to-ceiling video screens detailing every crucial bit of information needed to operate the subway and streetcar networks. One of the newer systems, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), allows control over everything from powering trains and streetcars to activating heaters for iced-over track switches. A "big board" alongside determines the performance of headways and schedules, which gets com-

Staff/Metroland

Above, an army of controlllers watch the inner workings of the system in the TTC transit control room inside the Gunn Building at the commission’s Hillcrest Yard. Left, veteran controller Rob Cito (left) works with trainee Vac Yue while right, the entire TTC system is covered by closed circuit cameras and monitored 24/7. piled and added to a performance scorecard. Beside SCADA, a bank of screens captures CCTV footage from various platforms where an inordinate amount of emergency alarms are activated. Eglinton Station tops the list currently. Finally, there’s a lightup diagram of the entire subway map, determining where trains are and if they are on schedule. At this time, a couple of hours before the start of rush hour on a weekday afternoon, the numbers look pretty good. Trains adhere to acceptable headways, and there’s only a slight delay on Line 4 Sheppard due to "crew change" issues. The technological improvements represent a

quantum leap from past control centres, when operations still took place on ancient arrays containing countless track switches, some of which had to be jury-rigged in creative ways when they stopped working. In those days it wasn’t rare for a single tower controller - essentially an air traffic controller but for public transit - to operate a single panel. "We were running around like chickens with our heads cut off," said Ross, who worked as a tower controller back in 2003. When trains go out of service, maintenance work is co-ordinated. Approximately 3,400 work orders are put in every week, according to the TTC.

As is increasingly the case with aged and declining TTC infrastructure, repairs often need to be arranged during service, which falls on railcar foremen to confer with crews and remotely offer assistance. When a delay takes place, whether big or small, the foremen act as first line of defence. Just the day before, a rider dropped a pencil on the train which got caught on a door track, preventing it from closing, grinding service to a halt. With assistance from the centre, the train guard was able to locate the pencil and get service moving again. Then there are bigger situations such as station flooding, when all hands

are required on deck. In the case of emergencies, the whole room springs into action. This is made easier as control centre personnel are crosstrained and can jump in at a moment’s notice. This year marks the launch of the long-awaited Automatic Train Control system, which will allow for computer-assisted train operation, although one human operator will remain on board at all times. ATC promises more consistent service. Ross admits he’s not yet certain how it will ultimately affect the control centre’s operations when the first phase launches between Wilson and St. George. ATC will have built-in

redundancies, lessening the need for manual repairs, but might also require more employees at first just to operate the system. This comes at a time when more operations move into the control centre, which is expanding to an additional floor. The plan is to further centralize by co-ordinating bus service along with streetcars and the subway. Once migration is complete in 18 months, Ross promises the benefits will be immediate. "We’re getting more bang for our buck, because once you put people in the same room the synergies start to happen and it’s really more effective," he said.

A study of global taxi costs finds Toronto in the middle for most expensive rides. The 2017 Taxi Price Index ranks 80 global cities by how much it costs to travel by taxi. According to the study, from UK-based used car selling platform Carspring, it costs an average of $9.51 Canadian for a three kilometer ride locally, with 60 seconds taken into account for waiting at traffic lights and stop signs. That’s good enough for 41st on the list. In contrast the cheapest city is Cairo, only 69 cents for an equivalent trip, mere pennies compared to Zurich, where a 3 km trip will set you back over $30.
