here are no plans to do anything with the two-storey brick building housing the Starbucks Coffee shop at the corner of Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue. But Josh Matlow isn’t taking any chances. The councillor for St. Paul’s will be pushing to have the structure officially designated a heritage property. The building once housed a general store and post office owned by one John Davis – the same Davis that gave the name to the tiny, nearly forgotten community of Davisville. Sipping coffee on one of the old leather couches in the old town hall, Matlow calls the building “the heart of the area”. “It’s not just because we get our coffee here,” Matlow said. “Its architecture defines the building ing – it is iconic.

Raptors’ DeMar DeRozan Haley McPherson in Kandle’s Prism Prize-nominated video recruits young readers Biggest role yet Program helps children discover love of books

for North York actress DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com

CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com DeMar DeRozan was the only Toronto Raptors basketball player at the practice court in the Air Canada Centre last Tuesday afternoon. But he was joined by several Grade 5 students representing 10 schools in the Greater Toronto Area, including three North York and two Etobicoke schools from low-income neighbourhoods, to launch the second year of the DeMar DeRozan All-Star Book Program. “It makes me feel good that I’m doing something good outside of basketball,” said DeRozan, noting he knows firsthand the difficulty of learning without the right resources. But the all-star basketball player said he benefitted from having a strong support team growing up. The program, in partnership with First Book Canada, aims to promote literacy by distributing more than 3,000 new books to 10 Grade 5 classes where each student can take books to read and keep to grow their home collection. “It’s definitely important for you guys to open up your imagination and get an early education,” DeRozan told the students seated in front of him. “And it all happens through reading.” Each class was also challenged to read the 10 books provided in 10 weeks and then write a book report on each one. The class with the most comprehensive and

timely book reports as well as high participation level will win tickets to the final Toronto Raptors home game this season. In the program’s inaugural year, the winning class was St. Jane Frances Catholic School in the Jane Street and Sheppard Avenue neighbourhood. “They worked extremely hard,” said principal Sarina Scarmozzino, who came with several of the now Grade 6 students and accepted an

autographed jersey from DeRozan on behalf of the class. She credited their teacher for helping the kids take on the book challenge, and noted they saw how the books impacted the kids through their reports. “It was a win-win all the way,” said Scarmozzino, adding there was 100 per cent participation in the program from both the boys and girls. Tom Best, executive director of First Book Canada, commended the St. Jane Frances students for everything they accomplished. “I c a n’t s p e a k m o re highly of that school,” he said. “They’re very, very engaged.” Best also thanked DeRozan, who was joined by his fiancee, Kiara Morrison, and young daughter, for being an ambassador for the program. “He clearly recognizes it’s important and he’s a great role model,” Best said.

North York actress Haley McPherson said she’s proud to be part of a highly recognizable music video that highlights the struggles faced by young women and one that helps empower them. The Brooklin, Ont. native, who now lives at Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue, appears in Kandle’s music video for the song Not Up To Me, starring alongside the Canadian singer-songwriter. The video has been nominated for the Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video. A winner will be announced Sunday. “I feel so honoured to be part of something like that,” the 24-year-old actress said. “I love that one of the first music videos I’ve done has such a deep meaning and has such large importance and is something that’s so universal and is something I absolutely can relate to. I really think anyone can relate to it in some sense.” The video is about a young woman struggling with her

emotions and unable to reach out to anyone for help, reaching the lowest point of feeling dark, alone and empty, McPherson said. There is redemption at the end of the video as the woman, played by McPherson, grabs onto Kandle for support, showing her strength. “It’s the challenge of what young women go through. It goes from mental health to body issues to relationships and feeling alone and trying to find that one thing that makes you feel free,” McPherson said. McPherson said shooting the video was challenging as it’s filled with scenes underwater. “It was a long day of being pulled to 20-feet deep. But it was fun and definitely new to

me,” she said. McPherson grew up dancing. Following one year at York University’s dance program, she left school to pursue a career in dance and choreography. She then began modeling and acting. The Kandle video, she said, is her biggest role yet with a message she’s proud to help share. “I definitely go through waves of emotions,” she said. “It’s something that everyone has to deal with. I’m proud to be the face of that for Kandle and young women. At the end of the day, whatever I do with my life that’s the ultimate goal, to be a role model like that.”

oronto Council needs to fix its slow and cumbersome heritage preservation process, or risk jeopardizing not only the future of Toronto’s historically significant buildings, but the city’s relationship with developers. The first point comes in a warning by the CEO of Heritage Toronto, one of our sources in this week’s exclusive feature on heritage preservation (pages 20 and 21). Too few staff and a long list of nominations for the city’s heritage inventory means a slow evaluation process getting properties protected. All the while, fast-paced development continues to make its lasting mark on the city. “The delays mean we may lose buildings, particularly residential buildings, that don’t get evaluated time to get onto the list,” said our view in Francisco Alvarez. The lack of staffing and History being resources at the city’s Heritage Services is affecting sacrificed to Preservation developers, too. Sam Mizrahi, the new owner of inefficiency the former Stollerys at 1 Bloor St. told us he was surprised to hear a councillor was trying for a heritage designation on the site, only months after Mizrahi purchased it. He said his plans were always transparent and when he did over a year of prepurchase research, any question about heritage designation he put to the city was met with “indifference.” In the end, his demolition of the site was perfectly legal and whether there was ever enough to deem the building historically significant enough to warrant protection remains to be seen. Even developers working on heritage properties wish HPS had more staff. Deirdre Gibson with the architectural firm converting Wesley Mimico United Church into a seniors residence says the lack of staff made it difficult co-ordinating efforts. The city has approved adding eight planning staff to study properties for potential Heritage Conservation Districts (HCD), but it may not be enough. There are 16 neighbourhood HCD requests, but over the next year the increased staff will only be able to approve three or four. And there’s an estimated 1,500 properties awaiting review for the heritage inventory list. It’s our history that gets sacrificed by the city’s inefficiency. There’s a balance to strike between developers and heritage preservationists that starts with bringing this department up to speed.

Winter makes us resilient Like many residents, I am fed up with winter. This long, harsh winter has brought record cold temperatures, piles of snow and biting wind chill. I was reminded while shoveling my driveway recently that our brutal winters reveal the true Canadian spirit and why we are respected as a country the world over. Like many people, I believe that Canada’s unforgiving climate makes us tougher and hardier. We still go to work, attend school and visit the shopping malls, even if the weather outside is frightful. Canadians are resilient. As I put up with several more days of sub-zero temperatures, I smile knowing that this winter helped define me as a Canadian. Sometimes, I don’t realize how lucky I am until I start shoveling snow for an hour. Then, it dawns on me that a lot of what I love about this country is rooted in the harsh weather that I complain about for so many months. Robert N. Lynn

When Gavin Smellie transferred from George Harvey Collegiate Institute to Dante Aligheri Academy, he wanted to continue playing soccer for his new high school. “That’s a funny story,” said Smellie, recalling what happened next was essentially how he got into track and field. After transferring to the Dufferin Street and Lawrence Avenue area high school, Smellie learned it was too late in the season for him to join the soccer team. So he decided to stay active by playing other sports. “I was a terrible basketball player,” Smellie laughed, adding he was better in volleyball and badminton. But what he excelled in was track and field. “I did a race off with some kid,” said Smellie, who gave his opponent a significant head start but still managed to beat him. Then he tested his speed against other runners at the Toronto District College Athletic Association championships. “I almost missed the race because my coach was late that day,” said Smellie, wondering if it wasn’t meant to be. “Maybe it was just fate. Maybe I should really go home.” Fate had other plans; his coach arrived just in time with his bin number. Smellie went on to qualify for the metro championships and continued his success, competing as a sprinter in the Canadian

A little bit of country strummed into Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital when singer Gord Bamford donated funds to the hospital’s music therapy program this month. Wearing a black cowboy hat, black leather jacket and jeans, the 19-time Canadian Country Music Association award winner spoke of how he and his wife spent time at Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary when their daughter, Memphis, now five, was born with an imperforate anus. The little girl spent a week at the hospital following surgery and has made a full recovery. “The hospital saved her life,” Bamford said. “When stuff like that happens it hits home a little more.” He presented the Bayview and Eglinton avenues hospital foundation with a cheque for $10,000 from the Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation. Bamford then delighted the crowd with four songs, including ‘Little Guy’, ‘My Father’s Daughter’ and ‘The Country I Grew Up On’, which will be on his new album. The two-time Juno Award nominee was treated to several songs by the Bloorview children’s choir, who donned white paper cowboy hats and presented him with a cowboyshaped thank you card and CD of their recorded music. “This is a little bit of giving back

Junior Nationals, the Pan American Junior Championships, the World Championships and the 2012 London Olympic Games. “These guys are at another level and that made me more hungry,” Smellie said of his fellow international competitors as he prepares for the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto. Now to run on “home turf” in front of family and friends will be a special moment for the 28-year-old who also has his sights on the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Brazil. “This is a great thing for me and Toronto,” said Smellie, adding Toronto fans support their teams and country. “I know they take pride when you go out there and compete. They’ll be behind you 100 per cent. It’s an awesome feeling.”

Tickets for the 2015 Toronto Pan Am Games will temporarily be off sale until mid-April. For more information, visit www.toronto2015.org

on our end,” Bamford told reporters, adding he was heading to The Hospital for Sick Children later Friday for a similar cheque presentation. “There are so many people who need help and we’ll do this as long as we can.” Music therapist Andrea Lamont said the programs helps patients achieve better health by improving speech and movement. Bamford’s donation will be used towards supplies, including adapted music technology such as the virtual music instrument, she said.

HOSPITAL VOLUNTEER POSTHUMOUSLY HONOURED

��

FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com

‘We’re all going to die, and if we’re very, very lucky, we’re going to have friends and family around us and no discomfort.’ With those insightful words, Pat Mackey began her video of what it’s like living with a terminal cancer diagnosis with the hope of helping others facing similar situations. Mackey, who had a bilateral mastectomy in 2009 after breast cancer diagnosis, was an inaugural member of North York General Hospital’s (NYGH) Patient and Family Advisory Council in November 2012, which works to ensure the needs and priorities of patients and families are considered and incorporated into matters impacting them. The council is made up of former patients and family members of patients who have received care at the Leslie Street and Hwy. 401 hospital. When Mackey’s cancer returned in January 2013 and had metastasized to her lungs and brain, she worried her terminal diagnosis would stop her from volunteering on the council. But at the suggestion of her oncologist, Mackey realized she could still give back by making a video of her thoughts on what it’s like living with a terminal illness and what the role of patient and family advisors are. In the video, Mackey described feeling out of control upon hearing the shattering news before regrouping. The most important thing, she said, is to be surrounded by family love. “All I want to know is I’m not going to suffer and my family is not going to suffer,” she said. Knowing the loneliness widows can feel, she and her husband, Mike, talked about what his life would look like after she died. Mackey also chose not to focus a lot of her time on her illness, instead

concentrating on exercise, nutrition, anything that made her feel better, she said. And if her 63-year-old self could give advice to her 20-year-old self, it would be this: be yourself and don’t be a people pleaser. Since its release 12 months ago, Mackey’s video, which is being used throughout NYGH to recruit volunteers and spread the word about the hospital’s patient and family centred care, has received more than 5,000 views. Mackey, who died at home Feb. 24, 2014, was posthumously awarded a 20 Faces of Change Award from The Change Foundation earlier this month. Nominations centred on patients, caregivers, health care leaders and practitioners, family members, community members, volunteers, and staff who have contributed to improvements in patient and family focused care. The 20 recipients were chosen out of more than 80 nominations from a diverse range of teams, individuals and organizations submitted from across Ontario.

At left, Pat’s son, Tim, left, and husband, Mike, accepted a 20 Faces of Change Award on her behalf.

‘POWEERFUL WORDS’ Mackey received the award for her contributions to NYGH, and patients and families. “As an inaugural member of the North York General Hospital’s Patient and Family Advisory Council, Patricia courageously documented her journey of living with a terminal illness, and shared it with the world on YouTube,” said Dr. Doug Sinclair, board member of The Change Foundation and chair of the 20 Faces of Change selection committee. “Her powerful words that ‘palliative care is about finding energy and joy in your day – not focusing on the illness,’ have been an inspiration for many. Her work and personal story will have a lasting impact.” Pat’s husband, Mike, and their son, Tim, accepted the award on her behalf.

“I thought it was fantastic,” Mike said of the ceremony. “My wife was fairly modest and I think she would have been very humbled.” The family initially thought Mackey, who had retired from her career in marketing and dedicated a lot of her time to volunteering, had a stroke while vacationing in Florida in January 2013, Mike said. After her terminal diagnosis, Mike and his wife of 38 years “just talked, laughed, cried, told stories”, he said, adding he would sit with her in their Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue home and have coffee while helping to type her emails when she was too ill to do so herself. “She didn’t want to (travel), she wanted to focus on spending time with family and friends,” he said, noting they frequented their farm

near Millbrook. He said Mackey made the video to help others, knowing she truly believed in focusing on every day and not the illness. “She tells you what the patient is thinking,” Mike said. “She just wanted to focus on what was good in her life.” In recognition of her contributions to furthering patient and family centred care, Mackey’s family established The Patricia Mackey Patient-and Family-Centred Care Educational Award at NYGH in November, with donations to date topping $120,000. The funds have been used to establish an annual Patient-and FamilyCentred Care Education Day at the hospital, where experts visit and share the latest developments in this field.

The award also provides annual professional development in the form of workshops or other forums in patient-and-family-centred care for up to two staff, physicians, volunteers or patient and family advisors from any area in the hospital. Margo Twohig, co-chair of the Patient and Family Advisory Council and breast cancer survivor, said she only had three meetings with Mackey but her impact was powerful. “(Mackey) had an effervescent aura about her that was unmistakable,” she said. “The video reflects Pat’s willingness to find something positive in something that’s so devastating. I’ve never known anyone quite like her. She’s an incredible role model and to me, she’s an inspiration of how we should all live life, regardless if we have a terminal illness.” Other North York 20 Faces of Change Award winners are Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital’s client and family centred care simulation development team, and caregiver Sara Shearkhani, co-founder of Family Caregivers Voice.

Toronto’s ombudsman Fiona Crean won’t be seeking a second term in the job – citing, she said, Toronto Council’s failure to adequately fund the investigative needs of the office and a hostile political environment that has not changed since the election. Crean, Toronto’s first ombudsman, was appointed five years ago as one of four accountability offices mandated by the City of Toronto Act. The ombudsman office was intended as “an office of last resort” for residents who were unable to obtain satisfactory service from the city. In her announcement – delivered Monday along with her office’s annual report – Crean delivered a sharp rebuke to council, which she said has failed to adequately resource her office. During the 2015 budget debate, her office’s request for six additional staff to deal with expanded responsibilities and a growing number of complaints was denied. Finally, Mayor John Tory put forward Be a part of the a compromise motion discussion.

She went bit.ly/1xvCizQ on to point out that the civil service is indeed “welcoming or at least tolerating” of the ombudsman’s office. “But in council there have been challenges,” she said. Some of those challenges reach back to 2012, when Crean reported on political interference in the public appointment process. That report found that former mayor Rob Ford’s office had inappropriately influenced the appointments of citizens to various city-owned boards and also that several council members serving on the committee had behaved inappropriately. The acrimony ran deep. Following the 2015 budget approval, Tory told reporters that while he had no issues himself, many members of council were not supportive of Crean. In order to be reappointed for the remainder of her maximum 10-year appointment, she would require 30 votes of council. Crean acknowledged that wasn’t likely to happen. But she said her reason for deciding not to stand wasn’t strategic. She said the repeated debates about her tenure were harming her office’s ability to function. Crean said she had spoken with

Tory on Sunday about her decision. Tory released a written statement following the announcement thanking Crean for her years of service. “Her investigations and the recommendations that she and her col-

Affordable ownership homes open in BathurstLawrence area

Bathurst Street

Ombudsman won’t seek second term of office

comment

NORTH YORK MIRROR | Thursday, March 26, 2015 |

Lawrence Avenue

Non-profit agency Options for Homes, its key partners and residents opened 341 new affordable ownership homes in North York last Friday. Cranbrooke Village opened on Saranac Boulevard in the city’s Bathurst-Lawrence neighbourhood. “Creating affordable ownership homes is a key part of Toronto’s housing strategy,” said Councillor Ana Bailão (Ward 18 Davenport), the city’s housing advocate and chair of the Affordable Housing Committee, in a news release. Options for Homes’ nearly $12-million project included an investment of $1.42 million from the City of Toronto’s Home Ownership Assistance Program (HOAP), which helped make 94 of the units in the complex even more affordable. HOAP delivers funding to nonprofit housing providers to reduce their up-front costs of building affordable ownership homes. The funds help pay the cost of city development charges, building permits and planning fees. Non-profit financial corporation Home Ownership Alternatives pitched $584,000 into the project. The organization brings home ownership within reach of low- to moderate-income households by providing down-payment loans. No loan repayments are made until the owner sells or rents their home, at which point the loan appreciates by the same percentage as the value of the home. The repaid loans provide other individuals and families with the opportunity to own their own home. “It is a great source of pride that we have been able to generate $11.82 million on this site to help our purchasers and future purchasers in perpetuity own their homes,” said Options for Homes president and CEO Mike Labbe, in the release. A city survey suggests government funding is essential if low- and moderate-income rental households are to succeed in owning their own home, according to the release.

He met with tech companies, sat down with Austin’s n e w m a yo r, s a w s o m e Canadian bands at the South by Southwest music festival, and came back with the beginnings of a plan to boost Toronto’s music industry, promote tourism and attract high-tech jobs.

Tory seemed hurt that she would criticize him: he had, after all, tried to whip the vote at council to boost the tiny office’s budget to a more adequate funding level. He simply couldn’t persuade a majority of council to support his plan. Now looking at recent history, it is inconceivable that a mayor just a few months into his job would find himself unable to win a vote at council, and would have to resort to an unworkable compromise. Mel Lastman, David Miller, even Rob Ford could generally get what they wanted from council and wouldn’t, on key matters, take no for an answer.

Kelly spent the entire year well aware that he served at council’s pleasure, and often abandoned issues rather than try and whip the vote. It was clear council enjoyed this consensus approach to governance – and if not much got done, well, not much got broken either. Tory fits into this newly self-aware council well. He pushes policies and ideas that appeal to the centrist majority on council, abandons difficult ideas like the contracting out of garbage when it seems they won’t fly, and most importantly, behaves himself.

�� THE HISTORIAN’S PERSPECTIVE

Heritage preservation process is too cumbersome to be effective: proponents City needs to address backlog of heritage property nominations and put the onus on developers to prove why they can’t reuse a building: historians DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com

roponents of preserving local historical architecture say the process to designate heritage properties in Toronto is too complicated and slow to be effective and is often trumped by the desire to intensify. It’s why buildings such as Stollerys, a 114-year-old downtown building that housed a clothing store, was cleared for demolition in January before preservation advocates could get the property designated as a heritage building, said Scarborough archivist Rick Schofield. “There’s a huge backlog of buildings that could be threatened and we want to have them listed (on the city’s inventory of heritage properties), not designated. As a result, things like the Stollerys building were demolished because it wasn’t listed.” Properties listed on the inventory are flagged by the city’s Heritage Preservation Services for review when applications for municipal permits or approvals are made. Property owners must provide 60 days’ notice of intent to demolish. Getting on the list is the first step towards city staff ultimately seeking to designate the property under the Ontario Heritage Act, giving it long-term protection

But, there are victories, too, such as the Weston Heritage Conservation District (WHCD), where an entire community was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Designation was split into three phases, due to the neighbourhood’s size, with the first phase, consisting of 114 homes, getting designated in 2007. Work on Phases 2 and 3 is ongoing. The district preserves the streetscapes, allowing homeowners to make interior changes to their properties, some of which are more than 150 years old. “In Weston, it’s meant to be a community building exercise, not a community dividing exercise,” said WHCD president Cherri Hurst.

�� THE DEVELOPER’S PERSPECTIVE

Designations are an expensive and timeconsuming challenge JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

s much as heritage designations can add to the character of a neighbourhood and provide links to Toronto’s past, there’s little question they can provide headaches for developers. Projects that are approved on heritage sites can prolong work times and ramp up costs as workers have to work around the protected building. In some cases, a heritage designation can even scuttle a project after a developer has invested time and money on a site. The Wesley Mimico Place project – which will see the historic Wesley Mimico United Church site redeveloped to include 30 seniors residences, community space and a smaller church space at 2 Station Rd. in Etobicoke – is in the midst

“

I don’t think it’s acting in good faith to use heritage to try to control the development process. It’s an abuse of power.

– Sam Mizrahi, owner of 1 Bloor St. W

of grappling with the former problems. The project will see much of the church, which was first built in 1923, preserved – albeit at no small cost. “It’s added about $650,000 worth of costs to the project,” said Deirdre Gibson of Robert Reimers Architect Ltd., the firm tasked with the redesign. “We have to replace copper with copper. We’re taking out old bricks, cleaning them and reinstating them.” Wesley Mimico United Church was adamant the origi-

nal church building be largely preserved. Another challenge was the fact that the City of Toronto’s own Heritage Preservation Services are, in Gibson’s estimation, woefully understaffed. “The city staff at Heritage Preservation Services want to be helpful and they love their heritage buildings, but there aren’t enough of them,” she said. She added that the Etobicoke York Community Heritage Preservation Panel were extremely helpful in moving the project along, writing letters of support. Still, the lack of staffing made for slow going at times. “It’s been a three-year journey and we wish it hadn’t been,” Gibson said. For developer Sam Mizrahi, a last-minute bid for a heritage designation nearly put an end

to his proposed “The One” project at 1 Bloor St. W. on the site of the former Stollerys men’s wear store. Councillor Kristyn WongTam started the process to have the building designated a few months after Mizrahi purchased it in October. “We did over a year of investigating and due diligence before we bought the site and (heritage designation) was never even on the radar,” Mizrahi said. “Any time we asked about it, the response we got was indifference.” Mizrahi secured the proper demolition permits and began tearing down the Stollerys building legally, shortly after

word of the move to preserve the building got out. He finds it suspicious, to say the least, that no move was made to preserve the building and no attention was paid to its potential historic value until after his company purchased the land. He said he believes heritage designation is often used as a cudgel to thwart developers as opposed to a means of protecting buildings that have architectural value. “I don’t think it’s acting in good faith to use heritage to try to control the development process,” he said. “It’s an abuse of power.”

THE CITY’S PERSPECTIVE

The pace of development may surpass city’s ability to evaluate properties, Heritage Toronto CEO says >>>from page 1 steel condo, the heart of the community would be ripped out. It wouldn’t look like Davisville anymore.” Matlow said he is hoping a heritage designation on the site will help keep that heart in its place. But of course it’s no guarantee. A successful appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) by a deep-pocketed developer can still see that designation overturned. It is better than nothing, however. Toronto has an inventory of about 10,000 heritage properties, with a two-thirds of those designated. When a property has no protection, whatever its heritage value may be, owners can demolish the

building in short order. Consider the Stollerys story. The demolition shocked many but was entirely lawful. A city review of the property’s heritage value would have taken some time. City staff cannot say exactly how long the list is of sites nominated – but not yet reviewed – for the inventory, but Heritage Toronto CEO Francisco Alvarez estimated the list is about 1,500 long. Until earlier this month, the city only had two staff to sift through those applications – some made by city councillors, but many by residents. And it could take years until a site was simply listed, nevermind put through the more

rigorous process for designation. In the 2015 budget, Toronto council approved adding eight planning staff to move matters

along more quickly: specifically, to begin studying properties on a neighbourhood-wide basis, to create so-called Heritage Conservation Districts where many properties would be preserved. But even with the additional resources, nothing will happen quickly. There are 16 neighbourhoods that have put in a request, and over the next year the increased staff will only be able to approve three or four. “Given the pace of development in Toronto right now, it still might not be enough to provide the level of customer service to individuals and developers,” Alvarez said. “The delays mean we may lose buildings, particularly

residential buildings, that don’t get evaluated in time to get onto the list.” Earlier this year, Matlow convinced councillors to seek another way to speed historical designations up, by creating a third designation for historic properties that would list properties of possible historic significance as “identified.” Any plans to redevelop those properties would have to wait 60 days for an assessment. Also on the books is a plan to lessen the ability of the OMB to reverse or disallow heritage designations. That report is expected in June.

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE

Toronto Aeros head to PWHL final-four weekend Thanks to two memorable series comebacks in the P r ov i n c i a l Wo m e n’s Hockey League (PWHL) playoffs, the North Yorkbased Toronto Aeros have reached the annual finalfour weekend in Stoney Creek March 27 to 29. The top league for junior players in the province, the top four teams throughout the 38-game regular season have all made it through to the final four, including (point totals in brackets): Oakville Hornets (66), Stoney Creek Sabres (60), Toronto Aeros (60) and Whitby Junior Wolves (57). Toronto, however, were pushed to the limit in both of their previous best-of-five playoff series. Most recently, they pulled off three wins in three straight days in North York last weekend to take their series 3-2

over sixth-place Nepean Wildcats who had won the opening two games on their own home ice. And in their opening round series, Toronto, after falling behind 2-1, needed to win two straight games to subdue 13th place Aurora Panthers 3-2. At this weekend’s final four, however, they’ll have to be sharp right off the bat as it’s a round robin format (one game each against the other three teams) followed by the medal games. The Aeros’ home arena in North York is the Seneca College Sports Centre, 1750 Finch Ave. E., with some games also played at Canlan Ice Sports York and Herbert H. Carnegie Centennial Centre, both in North York.

ven though frigid winter temperatures may be somewhat behind us, we’re not free of the winter snowflakes just yet. March has traditionally hosted some winter storms in the past which have crept up on us as we all look ahead to sunny days. It is still important to keep your wits about you. Sandra Zisckind, Diamond and Diamond Personal Injury Lawyers, provides some tips to prepare for a winter storm: 1. Pick up basic survival items – make sure to stock up essentials in order to survive without leaving your house for a few days, including: flashlights (and batteries), candles, radio, non-perishable food, bottled water, blankets and warm clothing, matches, medications, and fully-charged cell phone. 2. Keep warm – seal up any drafts, dress in layers, make sure to cover your head (hood or hat), cuddle up and stay under covers. 3. Stay up-to-date – keep the radio or television on to get the latest weather updates, follow national and local disaster agencies 4. Winterize your house – furnace maintenance (replace filters), check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, clear the fireplace, shut down outdoor faucets and

sprinkler systems, cut away tree branches that could damage your house, ﬁx window and door leaks and clean the gutters. 5. Prepare for the worst – In the event of a power outage, make sure to: keep the fridge closed, put frozen items outside and have some fun activities ready to go (card games are always popular). In addition, the Government of Canada provides weather alerts that provide more information on dangerous conditions in all areas of Canada. Be sure to check them out on their website. Remember, heavy snowfall and freezing rain make for poor driving conditions. Even if the necessary precautions have been implemented, accidents do happen.
