Food bank seeks more donations as demand rises With a demand increase of almost 20 per cent, North York Harvest Food Bank (NYHFB) will kick off its Winter Food Drive Thursday, Nov. 29 at Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt at York Mills and Don Mills roads. “The increase in need reflects ongoing, systemic issues,” Anette Chawla, executive director of NYHFB, said in a release. “Many of our clients face unemployment, or part-time and contract work, and struggle to meet the high cost of living in Toronto.” The goal of the food drive, which will run until the end of January, is to collect 240,000 pounds of food

and $240,000. The food bank is facing a 19 per cent increase in demand, which closely reflects post-recession levels of 2008. The drive will launch at 865 York Mills Rd. from 12:30 to 2 p.m., with food and cash donations accepted. Ten per cent of all frozen yogurt sales will be donated to NYHFB. The food bank’s catchment area is bounded by Steeles Avenue, Victoria Park Avenue, St. Clair Avenue/ Eglinton Avenue and Hwy. 27.

Ruling shows mayor ‘not above the law:’ ally Shiner LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com Monday’s shocking court ruling that found Mayor Rob Ford guilty of conflict of interest and ordered him removed from office means the mayor must leave office, allowing the business of the city to carry on, Willowdale Councillor David Shiner said. “He got himself into this trouble and there’s no way out of it, except to leave office,” said Shiner, a member of Ford’s executive committee. Shiner said the ruling appears to be unprecedented and called it a sad day for Toronto. While Ford’s heart may have been in the right place in trying to get donations to benefit high school football, the ruling makes it clear “as mayor, you have to stand for all, you’re not

above the law,” Shiner said. “You have a responsibility, all of us do, as members of council to make sure you’re acting in a proper and responsible manner at all times. (If in doubt), you get outside legal counsel to see what you can and can’t do.” York Centre Councillor Maria Augimeri agreed, saying she is proud of the judicial system for showing nobody is above the law and everyone, regardless of their status, must play by the rules. The law is in place to protect the public against abuse, she said. Ford has indicated he will fight the ruling, which said he should be removed from office in 14 days but gives him an opportunity to appeal the decision. Justice Charles Hackland did not find Ford simply committed an error >>>COUNCILLORS, page 14

OFSAA RECAP

Downsview SS’s season ends at hands of provincial gold-medallists North York schools were well represented as the high school fall sports season came to a close with the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) provincial championship tournaments wrapping up last weekend in boys volleyball and girls basketball. Unfortunately, the four teams didn’t manage to prove the ranking pundits wrong. The most heralded North York

team, ranked ninth at the OFSAA triple-A girls hoops championships in Belle River, was the Downsview Secondary School team – and they also did the best. But they were ousted in the quarterfinal round. The lost their OFSAA opener 62-43 to third-ranked St. Thomas Aquinas from Oakville, won their key do-or-die second round match 40-34 against 14th-ranked Belle River and then were ousted in the quarter-

finals 67-42 to number one-ranked St. Mary’s who went on to defending their gold medal. Other than those two OFSAA losses, Downsview can bask in the glory of a perfect season in their Toronto District School Board (TDSB) league, including five playoff wins on top of a 6-0 regular season record. The two other North York schools in girls basketball playdowns didn’t take such lofty resumes into their

OFSAA playdowns. • James Cardinal McGuigan, playing in the OFSAA 2A finals, dropped all three games. They were ousted in their Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) preliminary playoff round; • Nelson A Boylen, playing in the 1A OFSAA finals, dropped their two championship round games. They then won a consolation round game (27-23 over Kapuskasing) but were

Infrastructure is a priority

Council needs to re-set priorities at halfway point

oronto City Council reached the halfway point of its mandate in spectacular fashion this week. Monday’s decision by Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland ordering Mayor Rob Ford be removed from office due to his violation of the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act will take effect on Dec. 10. The judge gave council 14 days from Monday to deal with his ruling. That possible date of removal comes just three days after council reaches the twoyear anniversary of its four-year our view term. The situation on Ford is constantly changing. Council was Councillors examining its legal options at this week’s meeting. At the moment, must still focus it appears council has the choice on community of either appointing a caretaker mayor for the remaining two years of this term, or calling for a mayoral byelection. City solicitor Anna Kinastowski said it’s going to be a long process, much of it dependent on other court rulings which could stay Ford’s removal or keep him in office if he wins his appeal. If or when the time comes for council to make a decision on replacing Ford, we strongly favour the appointment route. Calling a byelection will cost an estimated $7 million. It will also likely cause a mess of a domino effect as councillors abandon their wards to run for mayor. And that’s the last thing Toronto needs, distracted councillors furthering their own political careers during a byelection while ignoring the needs of the wards they were elected to represent in 2010. As our stories in today’s paper on Council at The Halfway Point show, councillors must fully focus on the important work of representing their communities. This has to remain their priority. We also ask that the appointee be from Ford’s side of the political spectrum. He was elected on a mandate of fiscal responsiblity and concern for taxpayers, and that should be respected. The halfway point of a council’s mandate is an artificial line for council members to reflect on what’s gone right and what’s gone wrong during the first two years of office. Unfortunately, this time it’s a harder line in the sand. It’s a re-set point for every civic politician and every civic official. There are no longer any rookie councillors – everyone has two years of experience. Understand that the pure pleasure and advantage of local politics is in moving forward carrying the interests of your constituency beyond an agenda of a perceived political left or right vision.

To the editor: Re: “Infrastructure funding must become priority,” Editorial, Nov. 15. As Toronto Board of Trade CEO Carol Wilding said so well: “Toronto’s problems of gridlock and poor transit connectivity are among the worst of any major urban centre in the world.” I agree. The facts are that Canada’s mounting infrastructure crisis of crumbling bridges, potholes and traffic gridlock is costing more than $10 billion in lost productivity every year. You ask residents to ask their MPs on where they stand and what they are going to do. For me and my New Democrat colleagues this is an issue that we, along with municipalities across Canada, have been pressing ever since the recent Canada Infrastructure Program came to an end. For us there is no doubt whatsoever that this should be a priority for the federal government. Mike Sullivan, MP, York South-Weston

Rink B deserves a solid A-plus in my book

s I write this, I’m staring at something I’d long since given up hope of ever seeing again in the neighbourhood – a brand spanking new outdoor hockey rink. I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. But it is an outdoor rink here in Cedarvale, alright. And it’s almost ready for action. The only thing missing is the ice and and that little detail will be taken care of in short order. The grand opening date, weather permitting, is Sunday, which, like the rink, is just around the corner. Since the weather these days often has a way of not permitting, the historic debut could be pushed back a bit. If so, I’m OK with that. I’ve waited decades for such a rink. A few extra days won’t matter a bit. And when it does open, I’ll be there with bells on. Some players wear the jersey of their favourite

but seriously

jamie wayne

player, others wear a jersey from a team of their youth. I prefer bells. It’s not just an on-ice fashion statement. It’s very practical, too. The jingling drowns out the huffing and puffing around me. Anyhow, when the puck drops to christen the rink I’ll be thinking about two rinks I used to frequent in days of yore. The first is the now defunct ice surface at the not defunct West Prep, my old public school, about a mile-and-half away. That rink is where my hockey career, such as it is, began. I wasn’t involved in serious hockey at the start. My parents didn’t chauffeur me all over the GTA to rinks six days a week. I played house

league at Memorial Arena in Forest Hill. One game a week, no practices. That’s it. Ah, but at West Prep, I could be on the ice every day. It didn’t get any better than that. I didn’t dream of being in the NHL. I dreamed only of playing at West Prep. The second rink I’ll be reminiscing about is an indoor facility that still exists. It’s located just five feet from this one – the venerable Phil White Arena, aka venerable Cedarvale Arena. I played there during my formative 20-something, 30-something and etc.something hockey years. This new outdoor arena, going only by the name of Rink B, sits in the formerly unused parking lot right behind it. Those Cedarvale games were some of my all-time faves. There was no shinny or pleasure skating schedule available at press time, so that possibility still exists. As I await the grand open-

ing, I can’t get a hit song by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell out of my head. It’s titled Big Yellow Taxi. It was about not realizing how good you have things until it’s too late. “Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone,” she sings. Another memorable line in it, “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” Well, as for the former, I never took outdoor shinny for granted. I cherished every moment. I still do. As for the latter? Lo and behold, they paved the parking lot and put up a hockey rink. Oh, I know it’s not the paradise she was referring to, but for a Canadian kid like me, it’s pretty darn close. n Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist who takes writing very seriously. The topics?

Former Salvation Army executive charged in $2-million toy theft Murray said the theft is disheartening. “It’s a terrible shame when people donate their good, hard-earned money towards buying toys for those in need at the holiday times and these articles are now being redirected for profit,” he said in a statement. “Our organization will co-operate with the Toronto Police Service and the Crown’s office and the Salvation Army will continue to work with its external partners to ensure that something like this never happens again.” Major also applauded the quick actions of police. “We commend the Toronto Police Service for what appears to be timely progress in its investigation and wish it continued success,” he said in a statement. “The Salvation Army is under no illusions that the recovered toys can be returned to us soon, as it appears likely they will be required as evidence in any criminal court proceedings that arise.”

The former executive director of the Salvation Army’s North York warehouse is facing a number of charges in connection with the theft of $2 million worth of toys and other items. David Rennie, who was fired last week, will make his first court appearance Jan. 4, Toronto police announced Monday. On Friday, officers with 33 Division’s major crimes unit recovered 150 skids of toys, cribs, strollers, food and personal care items that had gone missing over two years from the Salvation Army’s warehouse and distribution centre on Railside Road southeast of Lawrence Avenue and the Don Valley Parkway. Some of the property was found at Northern Sales Group near Weston Road and Steeles Avenue while other items were discovered in a cold storage warehouse in Brampton, police said.

“The volume of the rerouted skids of donations we found in the Brampton location that were meant to reach 150 Railside Rd. were beyond our belief,” Det. Robert Strain said in a statement. “The merchandise we located there should not have been in a freezer storage facility. It was quite clear they were being held off-site.” The recovered property included two of 23 high-end bicycles donated by Premier Dalton McGuinty to Salvation Army camps. A suspect allegedly controlled portions of shipments in the Salvation Army warehouse and re-directed some items through Northern Sales Group, which is a wholesale company, Strain said. Meanwhile,, police are looking for a second suspect connected to the company, he said. The alleged theft, which involved 100,000 toys stolen over about two years, came to light in August through a whistleblower. Salvation Army Maj. John

Local gains outshine city-wide stagnation LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com

hile critics complain this term of city council has so far been plagued by bickering and lacklustre achievements, North York councillors are applauding the gains they’ve made locally. Dec. 7 marks two years since the inaugural city council meeting under Mayor Rob Ford’s administration, meaning the term is half over. Monday’s ruling of the removal of Ford due to conflict of interest charges would take effect three days later, Dec. 10. Veteran Willowdale Councillor John Filion acknowledges city council has made some progress by significantly reducing its annual budget crisis by decreasing spending where possible and negotiating a contract with city workers that is good for taxpayers. But, overall, city council is severely divided and lacking a clear agenda on major issues, notably transit, Filion said. That contrasts sharply with North York Community Council, he said. “It is difficult to get anything accomplished at a city-wide level because of divisions within council but on local issues, everything is going the way it usually does,” he said. “Community council works well. The councillors play nice. It’s a very friendly group and I think everybody puts on their community hat when we meet at community council. I find the councillors are helpful and the staff is helpful and, most importantly, the local community is amazing.” Filion pointed to a number of achievements in his ward in the last two years, such as the opening of the Edithvale Community Centre, the opening of new parks on Edithvale Drive, on Avondale Avenue and at Olive Avenue and Yonge Street, the growing popularity of the annual summer Cultura

Festival and the opening of St. George’s Anglican Church with a child care centre and community space. While Filion admitted traffic remains a significant ongoing concern, he is looking forward to more gains in the next two years. He expects three new parks to open, the start of a small community centre at Lansing United Church, a new child care centre being built at Churchill Public School using section 37 money the city gets from developers, a new child are centre at Lansing United Church, a rebuilt Avondale Public School, a new Willowdale headquarters for the new North York Arts group and new cultural initiatives. As council gets set for the second half of its term, Filion is hoping city council can take a page from North York community council.

ONLINE MAYORAL MATTERS: Ongoing coverage of the what happens next at City Hall Check it out online: www.northyorkmirror.com

ookie York Centre Councillor James Pasternak is thrilled with what has happened in his ward in the last two years. For example, off-leash dog zones have been established in Earl Bales and G. Lord Ross parks; the city designated the Antibes Community Centre a “priority centre” allowing free and discounted recreational programs; the intersections of Bathurst Street and Wilson Avenue and Bathurst and Sheppard Avenue were revitalized with repaving, plants and trees; and 500 trees were planted in Earl Bales and other parks. Meanwhile, benches, pathways, trees and a gazebo were put in Champlain Parkette as part of a $25,000 enhancement project, and a $50,000 playground was added to Harryetta Gardens Park. The next two years promise to be just as successful, Pasternak said. He is looking forward to a $15-million revitalization of Centennial Library and Herb Carnegie Centennial Centre, a $2-million ski lift being put in

at Earl Bales Ski Hill and major upgrades at Wilson Heights and Hidden Trail parks. “I’ve been working very hard to meet the promises I made in 2010 on the campaign trail and we’re getting very close to completing that list,” he said. “We’re managed to get a lot of stuff done. The proof is on the ground. We’ve had enormous support in getting all of these things done. It’s not a single person operating, it’s a team effort.” While there have been minor disappointments locally, such as the failure to get approval for a

TTC community bus to get seniors, people with disabilities and others to parks, community centres and shopping, Pasternak said his biggest frustration has come at city council. “I didn’t anticipate the highly charged political environment at City Hall and, in some quarters, the take-no-prisoners approach,” he said.

eteran York Centre Councillor Maria Augimeri, who earlier this month was re-elected chair of North York Community Council, pointed to a number of

accomplishments in her ward. For example, Augimeri and the community rallied to save the Anthony community’s only green space from development when the Toronto District School Board wanted to sell off a park at the former Anthony Road Public School. In addition, the former school, which now houses MukiBaum Treatment Centres for children and adults with complex disabilities, was going to be sold, but that decision was reversed after the community mobilized. A b u s i n e s s i m p r ov e m e n t area (BIA) steering has been established to revitalize Wilson Avenue, Downsview held its first Remembrance Day ceremony at the Downsview Memorial Parkette in 2010 and Downsview’s first dog owners’ association was created. Augimeri pointed to several upcoming success stories. For example, community space was created on an abandoned hydro transfer station site next to the Jane-Sheppard library branch and a fully functional park will be built in the next year. Also, construction of the new Humber River Regional Hospital is well underway with an expected completion date of May 2015, the new Sheppard West/Downsview Park subway station is 50 per cent finished and will be completed in 2016 and a $1-billion light rail line will be built along Finch Avenue west from Keele Street and Finch to Humber College beginning in 2016. “Much has occurred in the last few years that should give us reason for positive reflection. Downsview is doing well and on the path to prosperity and change, which can bring some unease as well as hope,” Augimeri said.

Ford’s first two years started strong, ended in controversy

ayor Rob Ford has had a colourful first two years in office: starting from the moment he announced Transit City was “dead,” then handed off the limelight in his swearing-in ceremony to a red-baiting Don Cherry. As he reaches the second anniversary of his mayoralty on Dec. 7, Ford’s political career in municipal politics could well be over. Superior Court Judge Charles Hackland ordered Ford removed from office on Monday over a conflict of interest he failed to declare, when he asked

council to forgive him having to pay $3,150 of money donated to a football charity. That matter was one of many black eyes Ford has inflicted on his own mayoralty. But what about policy? After two years in the mayor’s chair, what has Ford done to change the face of Toronto? Initially, it seemed like he had accomplished quite a bit. He convinced Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and Metrolinx to stop work on the Sheppard LRT and let

the city attempt to build a subway there instead. He convinced Toronto Council to scrap the $60 vehicle registration fee, and using surpluses left by the previous administration, froze property taxes in 2011. Toronto councillors’ office budgets were slashed in half. He convinced council to contract out garbage collection in the area west of Yonge Street. He and Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday were able to win major concessions from the city’s remaining unionized workers, with only a

short public library strike. In the service of his promise to cut the “gravy” at city hall, he implemented a core services review, which enabled council and the public to decide what services the city should or should not be providing. These exercises found little to cut. The fallout from the process arguably led Toronto Council to take a firmer hand with the mayor in 2012, which saw many of his promises undone. Council resurrected Transit City and turned around the 2012 budget to restore some key services.

What’s to come? Well, if Ford is successful in appealing Hackland’s ruling, there are a couple of outstanding promises. Ford has promised to start cutting the land transfer tax on real estate transactions. And he is aiming at a 1.75 per cent property tax increase for 2013. And he has made it clear since the spring, when council shut down his subway dream: Rob Ford is already campaigning for re-election in 2014. – David Nickle

City Hall

Ford’s ouster: City Hall in turmoil after court ruling DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com The decision by Ontario Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland to remove Mayor Rob Ford from office in 14 days has thrown City Hall into turmoil. The decision has left councillors unclear as to how the city will be governed, and already led to splinters in the mayor’s inner circle. Ford, meanwhile, has made it clear he will be appealing the decision, which could prevent him from running for office until the 2014 election, and blamed the decision on a left-wing conspiracy to remove him from office. “This has come down to left wing politics,” Ford told reporters

Monday morning, just over an hour after the decision was released. “They’re going to do anything to get me out and I’m going to fight tooth and nail to hold onto my job. And if they do for some reason get me out, I’ll be running back at them in a byelection.” That may not be possible, however. According to city lawyer Anna Kinastowski, the decision prohibits the mayor from seeking office again until 2014, the next general election. And the move already has some of Ford’s former allies suggesting that until the appeal is heard he should step aside and allow Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday to take over. Ford has said he would be

launching an appeal. At issue was a decision by Ford to speak on his own behalf as council was considering a report from the city’s integrity commissioner. The report recommended council compel Ford to repay $3,150 he had accepted from lobbyists for his football charity. Ford had as a councillor solicited those funds using his councillor’s letterhead, which was a violation of council’s code of conduct. Ford had repeatedly refused to repay the money, and when it came to council, he begged councillors not to compel him to do so. That, according to the Hackland decision, was a violation of the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, which requires that politicians

refrain from speaking or voting on matters in which they have a financial interest. Hackland rejected arguments made by Ford’s defence, suggesting he had made an error in judgement on the matter – one of the few acceptable mitigating factors in COI violations. “In the view of the respondent’s leadership role in ensuring integrity in municipal government, it is difficult to accept an error in judgement defence based essentially on a stubborn sense of entitlement (concerning his football foundation) and a dismissive and confrontational attitude to the Integrity Commissioner and the Code of Conduct,” wrote Hackland. “In my opinion, the respondent’s actions

were characterized by an ignorance of the law and a lack of diligence in securing professional advice, amounting to willful blindness.” Clayton Ruby, the lawyer who prosecuted the case for citizen Paul Magder, said he and his client were pleased with the victory, but saddened by the situation. “It is tragic that the elected mayor of a great city should bring himself to this,” he said. When Ford asks for an appeal to the Ontario Divisional Court, he will also ask that his removal be stayed until that appeal is resolved. Until that happens, Kinastowski told council there is nothing else that council can do in deciding whether to appoint or hold a byelection.

Ford apologizes, will appeal judge’s decision

Mayor Rob Ford has apologized to “everyone who believes I should have done this differently,” for the behaviour that led to a Superior Court judge to throw him out of office two weeks from now. “Looking back, maybe I could have expressed myself in a different way,” said Ford at a Tuesday afternoon news conference. “Everyone who believes I should have done this differently, I sincerely apologize.” The contrite Ford made the statements just a day after the court

decision Ford has been ordered to be removed from office within two weeks of the ruling, and not to run again until the end of the term. On Tuesday, Ford’s press secretary revealed that Ford’s lawyers would be seeking a stay of the order to vacate the seat at a hearing Dec. 5; the Divisional Court hearing will take place Jan. 7. Ford reiterated his defence on the stand, saying he believed he had done nothing wrong and had no conflict.

Toronto’s solicitor Anna Kinastowski said it’s her legal opinion that Mayor Rob Ford would be prohibited from running in any byelection prior to the 2014 general municipal election. Kinastowski made the statement during a brief question-and-answer session with Toronto Council Tuesday. Kinastowski was clarifying implications of the ruling by Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland, which found Ford guilty of violating the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. The sentence – removing Ford from office and barring him from running until the next term – has

been open to interpretation. Ford and his lawyers believe it means he can run in a byelection, because his term of office would effectively end when and if he is finally removed from it. But Kinastowski said her – and the city legal department’s – reading of the decision suggests otherwise. “It is my opinion that the word ‘term’ means 2010 to 2014. That is our interpretation of that particular fact. If down the road there is a byelection and Mr. Ford does not agree, he can take action to get a judicial interpretation at that time.” Ford has announced he will appeal the decision to Divisional Court, and ask for a stay of Hackland’s decision, which would

have Ford out of office 14 days after the decision was released. The stay would mean that Ford would remain in office until the decision was rendered by the three-judge panel at Divisional Court. At that point, the court could either uphold Hackland’s decision, strike it down, or order a new trial. Whatever the decision, council can do nothing until that happens. If Ford is finally removed from office, council will have 60 days to decide whether to appoint a caretaker mayor, or hold a byelection. A byelection would cost approximately $7 million, and would be held over just 45 days.

Opinion

‘R

ob Ford did this to Rob Ford.” No truer words were spoken about our third (amalgamated city) mayor, than the soundbite-ready quip from lawyer Clayton Ruby, who led the legal challenge to Mayor Rob Ford’s legitimacy to hold the office to which he was elected two years ago. Ford is facing what can only be counted as a disgrace: ordered removed from office not by disgruntled voters or his own lifechoices, but a court of law, for violating the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. There will be an appeal of the decision by Justice Charles Hackland. Perhaps the mayor will prevail on appeal, and be able to remain in office. But in the course of getting there, he will hear the verdict in the libel lawsuit from the owner of the Boardwalk Cafe in the Beach. And before the end of the year, the result of a compliance audit on his election expenses will be released. Depending on how badly that goes, he could well be faced with removal from office a second time, as well as a second restriction on when next he can run for election. And that doesn’t even scratch the surface of other situations he’s been connected to including the displacing commut-

Councillors aim to put city business first >>>from page 1 in judgment when he used city letterhead and other resources in seeking donations to his football foundation from people lobbying him, Shiner said. “The judge found Rob Ford knew exactly what he was doing,” he said. In 2010, the city’s integrity commissioner ruled Ford had been wrong to use city resources to solicit donations when he was a councillor. Council agreed and ordered him to repay $3,150. After Ford didn’t repay the money despite six reminders from the integrity commissioner, the issue was brought back to council last February. Ford made an emotional speech and voted with the majority of councillors who agreed he didn’t need to reimburse the donations. While Ford didn’t personally benefit from the donations, he should have sought legal advice to determine if he would breach the Conflict of Interest Act by speaking and voting on the issue at council, Shiner said. “I don’t think his actions were in any way meant to harm anyone,” he added. Hackland’s ruling appears to ban Ford from running in a byelection before the end of the current term of council but doesn’t disqualify him from running in future elections. Shiner would not say whether he thinks Ford should run for mayor again. He is upset with some names being suggested as mayoral candidates, including Don Valley East Councillor Shelley Carroll, TrinitySpadina Councillor Adam Vaughan and Trinity-Spadina New Democrat MP Olivia Chow, who is a former city councillor. They would make council “substantially worse” because they are divisive, left-leaning and big spenders, Shiner said. While he didn’t categorically rule out a run for mayor himself if there is a byelection, Shiner said he is satisfied with his job as councillor. York West Councillor Anthony Perruzza and Willowdale Councillor John Filion would not comment on the court ruling or what next steps Ford should take. They both said they hope the ruling doesn’t derail council from important city business over the second half of the council term. “There’s potential for a lot of turmoil at city hall and we need to avoid that, regardless of who is mayor. We have two more years and we have to get critical work done,” Filion said. “We’ve already got a polarized council. This should not be seen as an opportunity for maneuvering by one group or the other. If ever there was a time everybody should come together and work in the public interest, it is now. I’m the eternal optimist.”

North York’s Orchestra Toronto is looking for Canada’s best young pianist. The organization recently announced the Orchestra Toronto Concerto Competition: the 2013 Marta Hidy prize for piano. Named in honour of the late Marta Hidy, one of Canada’s foremost violinists, this is the orchestra’s third annual competition searching for the best musical virtuosos aged 23 and younger. Every year, the competition focuses on a different musical instrument. The first-year prize was for violin. Last year, it was for cello. This year, the search is for the best young pianist. Competitors will be judged

on artistry, musicianship, technical skills and stage presence. The winner will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship and an opportunity to perform as a soloist with Orchestra Toronto at its December youth-oriented concert at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. “The prize was established to honour Marta Hidy’s legacy as a solo artist, orchestral and chamber musician, conductor, teacher and music professor,” the orchestra said in a press release. “Marta Hidy’s passion for music and for young talent influenced the lives of generations of musicians and the Orchestra Toronto Concerto Competition’s mission is to continue that influence.

Supported by the Hidy Fund, the competition aims primarily to showcase talented young Canadian and help them make the transition to professional life.” The competition is open to pianists 23 years of age or younger who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Competitors can visit www. orchestratoronto.ca to submit an application by Feb. 4. By Feb. 25, they must upload an audition video playing a Chopin Etude, a prelude and fugue from Bach’s WellTempered Clavier and a piece of the candidate’s choice. Up to six finalists will be announced by March 4. The finals will be held March 23 at Earl Haig Secondary School.

Carrier of the

Month

Jonathan

Hi, my name is Jonathan! I am 14 years old and I have been delivering the Mirror for 3 years now. It is my first paying job and it couldn’t have been done without the help of my sister. I really enjoy delivering the newspapers. In my spare time, I play badminton, hang out with my friends, read or play video games. The Mirror has given me such a great experience and I hope to be working for this company for a long time.

Sean

Hi I am Sean and presently in high school at Dante Alighieri Academy. It is an honor to be chosen as a carrier of the month. It is a great help for me delivering the newspapers, I enjoy being motivated. I am saving money for my future, I do not spend much money, and sometimes I spend it on my bus fare and groceries. I love to play sports, my favorite sport is basketball. My favorite basketball team is the Miami Heat. When I grow up I would like to be pilot and fly people to their destination safely. Again I am thankful to TCN because I am part of it.

VaneSSa

I like being a carrier because; I can make money of my own, so I don’t have to ask for money from my parents if I want to buy something like shoes etc. I’m only 14 years old; and I believe that this is the only job that children who are younger than 15 years old can have. I also became more responsible by doing this job and I can get a little bit of exercise when I’m delivering the flyers. I’ve been working as a carrier since 2011 and it’s already 2012. I like spending my free time playing the guitar, using the computer specially going on twitter, facebook and tumblr. I also like listening to music on my free time. Just like many people I want to be a successful person. When I get older I want to study in a good University so I can have the job that I really want when I grow up.

If you wish to be a carrier, please call 416-493-4400

Please contact the Budget Committee at 416-338-5851 or 416-392-7445, or e-mail buc@toronto.ca no later than 4 p.m. on December 7, 2012 if you intend to make a public presentation.

The provincial government has upped its commitment to seniors with the introduction of a tax break geared toward making homes more accessible and allowing people to live independently in their homes for longer. Seniors minister Linda Je f f re y a n n o u n c e d t h e Healthy Homes Renovation Tax Credit, which puts in place a permanent, refundable tax credit that could put as much as $1,500 back into the pockets of seniors or those living with seniors, at the North York Seniors Centre last Thursday. “We know that the home is where seniors connect to their community,” Jeffrey told a group of seniors at the centre. “It’s where we as a government can support you in your independence.” The plan calls for a 15 per cent tax credit on such home upgrades as ramps, grab bars, walk-in or wheel-in bathtubs or showers, lowered counters, non-slip flooring or anything else that will allow seniors to live independently in their homes longer. “Often, making small, practical changes to our homes can make a world of difference in our lives,” Jeffrey said. “Living at home is great for (seniors’) peace of mind and also for their children’s.” The credit applies to seniors or to non-seniors living with senior family members. It does not apply

to landlords and cannot be used for general repairs that do not improve the ability of seniors to live independently in their homes. It also does not apply to devices such as wheelchairs, walkers or home security, or services such as in-home care or housekeeping.

‘Often, making small, practical changes to our homes can make a world of difference in our lives.’ –Linda Jeffrey The credit can be used retroactively for eligible work done as early as October 2011.

“The fact that it’s permanent... means seniors can use this credit this year, next year and the years after that,” said tax advisory specialist Jeremy Bertrand, who added its refundable nature means seniors can claim the credit and receive a tax rebate even if they do not owe provincial taxes. The Ministry of Consumer Services is advising seniors to get at least three written estimates on work to be done and to check contractors’ references among the steps they can take to ensure they are not victimized by unscrupulous companies or individuals.

City Hall

DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com If you want to fight a parking ticket at Toronto City Hall, you might be surprised to find it’s easier than you think. And that’s not a good thing, according to a report from Toronto’s Ombudsman Fiona Crean, looking into the way the city handles disputed parking tickets. Crean’s report came as a result of “a sizeable number of complaints” from parking ticket recipients. They complained the dispute process doesn’t give recipients adequate information about ways to cancel a

parking ticket or dispute it, unfairly requires recipients to attend in person to request a trial, and that service at parking tag offices is inadequate and trials untimely. The investigation took place over 11 months – and according to Crean, found some merit to the complaints. While she wrote the process provides reasonable services to recipients given resources and demand, she agreed the information provided to recipients seemed tailored to discourage anything but promptly paying a ticket. “The information that appears on the parking infraction notice downplays the trial option and gives no

indication that tickets are in some cases cancellable without attendance in court,” she wrote. “The information on the city’s website highlights the payment option over the trial option and does not provide adequate information about other avenues through which recipients’ concerns may be raised.” The city does have guidelines that explain how tickets can be cancelled. But they’re not accessible to the general public, wrote Crean. And she said while staff at parking tag offices are aware of those rules and are authorized to cancel tickets, “unless they are directly asked, staff do not offer any advice prior to filling

Recommendations

• The city should expand and clarify the information on challenging a ticket that’s on the infraction notice, the city website and parking tag offices; • Expanding the use of telephone, email and fax contact for dealing with ticket issues where an in-person appearance isn’t needed; • Requiring staff at parking tag offices to identify and help recipients whose ticket cancellation might not require a court appearance; • Look at initiatives that would reduce court appearances, such as creating a fixed fine system and a delivery parking permit; • Ask the Attorney General to refer the issue of creating an administrative penalty – which would remove parking tickets from the courts – to the Court of Appeal for a final ruling. Currently, the city believes implementing such a measure would be vulnerable to legal challenge. – Fiona Crean’s report the recipient’s trial request on whether the ticket is one that is covered by the cancellation guidelines.”

Crean noted the city has made an effort to improve the dispute system.

IF YOU WORK IN ONTARIO, THIS IS YOUR FIGHT. On September 11, 2012, the Ontario Liberal government passed Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act, 2012.

Bill 115 is undemocratic, unconstitutional, and unprecedented. • It takes away the democratic rights of teachers and education professionals to bargain collectively. • It places the government beyond the reach of the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Ontario Labour Relations Act, and even the courts. • It takes local decision-making away from school boards and puts it in the hands of the provincial government. That’s why we’re standing against Bill 115. It sets a dangerous precedent for all Ontarians. In fact, the government has already threatened other public sector workers with similar legislation. As teachers, we teach your children to stand up for their principles. Today, we ask you to do the same.

What can you do to help? Join us in standing up for democratic rights. Let your MPP know that Bill 115 must be repealed.
