Harriet Tubman Games a North York tradition CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com Celebrating its 25th year on Sunday. the Harriet Tubman Games will be taking place at Esther Shiner Stadium with outdoor track and field events for the whole family. “It’s going to be a day for youth, entertainment, excitement and sportsmanship,” said Ekua Walcott, executive director of the Harriet Tubman Community
Organization (HTCO), which is hosting this year’s games in partnership with the Jane Finch Pan Am and Parapan Am Games Host Committee. Sunday “It’s also for all age groups.” The community event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with the opening ceremonies kicking off at 10:30 a.m. featuring the Blue Saints Marching Band and the York Lions Steel Band.
28
Local vendors will be on hand along with special guests including Canadian high jump champion and Pan Am Games representative Nicole Forrester expected to be in attendance. “It’s quite an extravaganza for the day,” Walcott said. She added the focus of the 25th anniversary event is to promote wellness, fitness and community spirit, particularly within the African-Canadian community.
While the Harriet Tubman Games is celebrating reaching the quarter-century mark, Walcott noted the event began in 1971, known then as the Black Heritage Track Meet, which attracted the fastest runners from Canada, the United States and the Caribbean. When the HTCO took over the management in 1986, the games evolved into a general track and field event for all ages. Community members are
invited to participate in the “back in the day” 50-metre dash to prove they can still run and be active. This year’s event will still have sprints, relays, long jump and triple jump from athletes registered with Athletics Ontario and other track clubs. The full-day event is free for all spectators.

Arts & Music Festival gets into Pan Am Games spirit

Earl Bales Park is setting for annual event DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com
Innkeeper Ann O’Reilly gets warm welcome from preservation panel CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com Ann O’Reilly was remembered as a strong woman who continued to successfully run a 19th century hotel after her husband died, while raising their children on her own. Now, more than 150 years after she opened the hotel with her husband Patrick O’Sullivan in 1860 on a site that is now the northwest corner of Victoria Park and Sheppard avenues, Ann O’Reilly has a street named after her. “It deserves real commemoration,” said Don Valley East Councillor Shelley Carroll, who attended the street naming event on Friday, June 19, standing alongside the descendants of O’Reilly. “As women, we have come so far to achieve equity.” Mary Ann Cross of the North York Community
Preservation Panel noted the naming of Ann O’Reilly Road is also special since it’s the first street the panel was involved in naming where the descendants of the early settlers were contacted. “The City of Toronto Honorific and Street Naming Policy now requires the consent of a descendant to name a street after someone, even someone who lived in the 1800s, and it is usually difficult to trace those descendants,” Cross said. She thanked the North York Historical Society for its support and especially past president Bill Aird who located Margaret O’Sullivan, one of the great-great-grandchildren of Ann O’Reilly. Margaret was able to attend the ceremony along with O’Reilly’s other greatgreat-grandchildren Denis O’Sullivan and Darlene Hall,
along with their respective families, as well as Ian Hadden, whose great-grand uncle was one of O’Reilly’s sons, Michael. Denis said a few words on behalf of the family, acknowledging their sense of pride in looking back at the solid foundation O’Reilly built within the community. “As a young mother, she and Patrick established a modest inn,” he said. “The inn became the hub of a small community.” Ann O’Reilly Road is located southwest of Victoria Park and Sheppard avenues, where the Trio At Atria condominium development is taking place.

The Earl Bales Park Arts & Music Festival will have a distinct Pan Am/Parapan Am Games flavour with the addition of sports activities. The third annual event is happening Sunday, June 28 at Earl Bales Park, 4169 Bathurst St., from noon to 6 p.m. Admission is free. Laura Copeland, programs and events coordinator with North York Arts, and an organizer of the event, said organizers wanted to add the Pan Am Games theme to the festival as it’s something the city is excited about. “We were just trying to get on the wave of the people trying to get excited for the games. We thought it would be attractive to the community,” she said. “In the spirit of that, we’ve included sports activities, which we normally don’t have.” In addition to the sports, this year’s festival will feature music and dance of the Americas, particularly Caribbean and Latin. “We always try to make the festival culturally diverse because that neighbourhood is very culturally diverse,” Copeland said. “We did take particular steps this year to make sure there was Latin and Caribbean flavour sprinkled throughout, in the spirit of Pan Am.” The music acts include Saint “O”, a band that per-

work. Past events featured only a handful of artists. Food and other activities are also available. “It is a free festival in a beautiful setting, it’s a beautiful amphitheater. It’s always a good time,” Copeland said. “We worked hard to ensure everybody enjoys themselves.” North York Arts and Toronto Arts Foundation partner with Ward 10 Councillor James Pasternak, the city and the province to put on the event. “We are very excited to be celebrating the Pan Am Games in North York with what will be a fantastic programming lineup of live music, art, food, sports and activities for residents to enjoy,” said Pasternak, in a news release. “The festival is shaping up to be a remarkable community event that showcases the talent and work of local artists.”

Helping diverse businesses in Toronto a win-win

uilding an environment where Toronto’s immigrant entrepreneurs succeed is just good business sense. And the City of Toronto, through an enhanced procurement policy, has an opportunity to improve outreach and to really tap into the talents of immigrant entrepreneurs. In this month’s exclusive feature on pages 24 and 25, we take an in-depth look at the experience of the immigrant entrepreneur in Toronto. Being an entrepreneur can be a struggle. Being a newcomer to Canada can be a struggle. Put those experiences together and one our view can imagine the complications. Later this year, city counEnsure equal cil is expected to consider being called a Social opportunities what’s Procurement Framework, one for newcomers that provides “diverse businesses with equal opportunities to share in the city’s growth and prosperity.” Among the possible features: more online posting of smaller contracts (under $50,000), actively soliciting bids on projects below $10,000 and more education on how to respond to documents such as Request for Proposals (RFPs). Concentrating on the many talents newcomers could bring to our economy can only build a stronger city. Nearly half of Toronto’s residents are foreign-born. Sound policy reflects a community’s make-up. But even so, such a policy must be complemented with more outreach to ethnic business groups – to help dispel the perception in some quarters that there is an uneven playing field when it comes to municipal procurement and also to remove some of the mysteries around dealing with government. A flourishing entrepreneurial environment means new jobs and a better overall economy. It can also mean less reliance on social supports. Last November, we listed a number of items Mayor John Tory needed to make a priority during his tenure. Diversity – which included the issue of procurement – was one of them. There’s an opportunity to establish this as a priority, to craft policy that is inclusive, reflective of the community and beneficial to its citizens. Visit insidetoronto.com/diversity for coverage on this issue as well as other stories from Toronto’s diverse neighbourhoods.

Making every day count this summer Everything from Dora to donuts on my to-do list The season’s off and running and me right along with it doing my best to try and keep up. Here are a few of the highlights of my summer things to-do list. 1. Get my face painted at the first big family festival and park myself at the back of the long line to meet Dora The Explorer. 2. Take a selfie with Dora – if I somehow make it to the front of the line before the festival ends. 5. Ride a roller coaster at Canada’s Wonderland that I’ve never had the courage to go on before. 6. Unless it has one called the Inverted Twisted Plunge Into The Abyss. 12. Bounce up – and hopefully down – on a trampoline. 13. Once each only, if I
jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY somehow manage to pull it off. I wouldn’t want to push my luck. 20. Play my first game of beach volleyball down by the boardwalk. 21. Take a selfie with Gidget and Moondoggie while I’m there. 26. Head to the zoo and make a point of checking out the animals on either side of the panda exhibit this time and apologize for ignoring them during all my other visits. 30. Glue myself to the TV set Saturday for Canada’s quarter-final match at B.C. Place in Vancouver in the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015. 31. Daydream occasionally about Canada making it all the way to the finals. 32. On second thought, make that frequently. 48. Go to the Rogers
Centre for the Red Sox/Blue Jays game on Canada Day to see Don Cherry throw out the first pitch to the Jays’ Josh Donaldson. 49. Catch the Canada Day fireworks somewhere in town that night. 54. Lie in hammock. 55. Tell the truth in a hammock. 56. Take a selfie of me telling the truth in a hammock. 62. Drop by for an evening of Shakespeare in the Park. 63. Make Shakespeare break into a grin when I tell him I call him Willy for short. 64. Take a selfie of the two of us, of course. 71. Head down to the Ex to inhale a Tiny Tom Donut or two. Or three. Or 12. 72. Then one last one for the road, of course. 73. And one last one for the street. And one last one for the crescent. And last one for the cul-de-sac. And one last one ...
84. Memorize the lyrics to OK, Blue Jays. 95. Learn the names of all the events of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games. 96. Repeat them to Pachi – the official mascot of both – in order of how they appear on the schedule. 97. Take a selfie of the two of us. 98. Then take a selfie with Pachi and Dora The Explorer. 99. Ah, what the heck, since it sounds like I’m going to be on a roll by then, see if I can get Willy, Grapes, Donaldson and the entire Canadian women’s soccer team to join in the picture, too. 100. Truth be told, it won’t actually be a roll. It’ll be another Tiny Tom donut. Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much.

Tory wise to avoid speed limit fight One might choose to look at the Toronto and East York Community Council’s move to slow traffic in the city core as a bit of a retaliation. The Monday vote came a few weeks after Toronto councillors not in the Toronto and East York Community Council area voted to rebuild the eastern part of the Gardiner Expressway in the middle of it, against the wishes of all councillor elected there. So there is something of a statement in this vote: anyone who wants to drive on one of the city core’s welltreed, compact residential streets will have to slow down now: what was 40 kilometres an hour is now 30 kilometres an hour. As retaliations go, this one’s benign. Slower speeds on residential streets will almost certainly result in fewer deaths and serious injuries from collisions between cars and pedestrians and cyclists. But it is also an historic exercise of power.
david nickle the city Community councils have since the David Miller years had the power to make decisions on stop signs and speed on local roads without need for ratification from mayor or council or anyone else. Usually, those decisions are deeply local: in Toronto and East York, councillors routinely reject one request at a time for a parking pad or a tree removal. Not this time. The reduction of speed limits will cost more than $1 million to implement, and will have a lasting impact on a vast and contained area of the city. Toronto and East York has, in making this decision, effectively treated itself as not just a community, but a municipal jurisdiction. Council could squash it all eventually – at some point, at least part of that $1.1-million bill will have
to come before the budget committee and council for its 2016 allocation. On Tuesday, however, Mayor John Tory indicated to reporters that although he disagreed with the decision, he wasn’t going to do anything to mess with it. That is a sensible retreat for a couple of reasons. First: the community council move is a good public response to the rash of cyclist deaths that have helped define the late spring in the city core. Getting into a pedantic fight over the best way to manage pedestrian safety in local councillors’ wards is a losing battle for a mayor. And second, it does Tory no good to get into a fight over safety with the 12 downtown councillors, whose constituents largely voted for him in 2014. It is a long ride to 2018, but even at this slightly reduced speed – it’s not that long.

coming to TTC stations w27Presto The TTC plans to have almost half of its subway stations outfitted with Presto card readers as early as next month. By July, green Presto readers – nicknamed “nosejobs” by the TTC for their protruding nature – will be installed in 27 stations on subway turnstiles that riders can tap on with the fillable smart-fare card to gain entry. The TTC also plans to install station fare gates that will allow for barrierfree access to the subway via a Presto tap. Presto is scheduled for complete integration on the TTC by late 2016.

In addition to the venues, special signs indicating proper use of the temporary carpool lanes are planned. These will reserve access at prime hours of the day during the Games to Pan Am personnel and spectators. CONCERNS for MCNICOLL BUS GARAGE wHEALTH
Opponents of the TTC’s $160-million McNicoll bus garage proposal for north Scarborough need the intervention of Ontario’s environment minister if they are to stop the project. A provincial environment assessment (EA) for the plan was recently completed by the TTC and submitted to Glen Murray for final approval. Opponents claim the bus garage, to be built near Kennedy Road and
McNicoll Avenue, will create serious health issues for Chinese seniors homes located nearby. Such concerns have already been dismissed by the Toronto Board of Health, which did an independent assessment of the project. HUMBER LOOP PETITION RELOCATION wSEEKS
An online petition seeking city funding for relocating the TTC Humber Loop transfer point south was endorsed by 376 people. Our Place Initiative (OPI) hoped to get 500 names supporting the plan which is under study by the TTC following a city council decision from March. The group believes the plan will greatly improve streetcar service between Etobicoke and downtown. The TTC is supposed to report on the feasibility of the proposal before the start of the 2016 budget process. Rahul Gupta is the Mirror’s transit reporter. His column runs every Thursday.

education
Public school board trustee expenses to be capped at $5,000 The Toronto District School Board ( TDSB) voted to approve a motion to cap each trustee’s expenses at $5,000 annually despite a few trustees arguing it might not be enough to serve the community well. The recommendation came in response to a directive issued by Ontario Minister of Education Liz Sandals to
reduce discretionary budget allocations and implement a shared services model for trustee services. That resulted in some trustees, who used to have $27,000 for discretionary expenses, losing their constituency assistants. York South-Weston Chris Tonks admitted his constituency has suffered by losing
his constituency assistant. “I’m very cautious and responsible in what I spend,” said Tonks, adding the extra funds would allow for greater outreach in the community. But the majority of trustees agreed instead to try the staff’s recommendation of $5,000, which was based on the average amount of expenses spent by the board each year.

More than 100 soldiers set up camp for a Revolutionary War re-enactment with a full scale battle at Black Creek Pioneer Village Sunday afternoon. Clockwise from top: a group of British soldiers play music to indicate they have captured the final canon during the re-enactment; troops march toward the battlefield during the reenactment; a soldier runs towards the battlefield; a young boy plays with his gun; a soldier fires at the enemies during the re-enactment.

City hall reaches out to minority-led companies MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com
T
oronto is edging closer to being a city where more than half of residents are foreign-born and more than half are non-white. But many first- or secondgeneration Canadians who own companies here think they are at a disadvantage getting business from city hall. “They feel there’s an unequal playing field,” said Zubair Patel, community relations director for the Toronto Network of Indian Professionals. This “long-held sentiment” among minority-led businesses covers not just municipal procurement, but hiring for city jobs, Patel said. When city hall and its contracts reflect the city, he argued, “it creates a greater sense of belonging,” but if not, “it slows down the process of integration.” Mayor John Tory is aware of the perception minorityled businesses don’t get a fair share. It’s true, but there’s nothing sinister behind it, he said. “The city just doesn’t know who these people are.” As long as minority-led companies know they’re free to bid on contracts, the mayor said, “that shouldn’t be an obstacle.” social procurement To change the playing field, city council started experimenting with a “social procurement framework” before Tory was elected last fall. The mayor said it could lead by next year to a policy ensuring one of three short-listed bids for each city contract comes from a minority-led or “diverse-led” company. “They will win or lose on their own merits after that.” The city has started posting contracts worth $10,000 to $50,000 online, and soliciting some bids for smaller projects
worth $3,000 to $10,000. It’s too early in these experiments to say if they’ve made a difference. Not enough people know about them, and the city hasn’t posted as many contracts as was hoped, said director of procurement Michael Pacholok. “I feel we need to be a little more proactive.” City hall doesn’t have a closed list of vendors, he said, but speculated many small and medium-sized companies could be daunted by large contracts or think working with government, “generally seen as very rigid,” is too difficult. Pacholok said the city wants them to know they’re free to compete, and if a company is small, sub-contracting is an option.
“
The city just doesn’t know who these people are. – mayor john tory
In recent years, applying for city projects as a “diverse” company seems a sound strategy: in 2012, just seven per cent of bidders were “selfdeclared” as minority-led or controlled – which includes women, aboriginals, and gay and lesbian people – but they got $339 million in city business. In 2013, $434 million went to a self-declared five per cent. “There might be more out there that just didn’t tell us,” said Pacholok, who said his staff is planning more outreach to ethnic business groups on how to do business with the
city. “I think it comes down to using technology and using our connections,” said Tory, adding many large private firms are “doing a better job than the city on this,” and its government can learn from them. The mayor dismissed arguments adding a social procurement policy will increase the city’s costs or slow things down. free enterprise By broadening the nature and number of bidders, you can get a better price and quality, plus benefits you didn’t know about, he said. “To me, it’s a very freeenterprise way of doing it.” Courtney Betty, founder of the Diversity Business Network, said the biggest challenge for minority-led businesses “really is the lack of connections,” and providing opportunities for them will make us all wealthier. With a social procurement policy, “no one’s going to lose, but it will require courage to move this forward,” said Betty, a lawyer. “It’s the right business thing. It’s the right social thing.” He has faith Tory will make the right changes happen. “He’s a believer,” Betty said. Patel also welcomed the pilot projects in procurement, saying while the city should do more outreach, minority-led companies should do more research themselves on how to apply. A report on social procurement is expected to lead to a draft policy by the end of this year.

mmigrant entrepreneurs often come to their new country armed with a strong work ethic and grand ideas, but without the knowledge of what’s involved in making their dreams reality. That’s where organizations geared towards helping this targeted group come into play, with programs and service referrals available to assist those hoping to launch a business in the city. L a u r i e Fl e m i n g , c o ordinator of The Learning Enrichment Foundation’s (LEF) Emerging Entrepreneur Program, said the majority of the immigrant entrepreneurs she has worked with aspire to get into the food business, replicating what they did in
their home country. “The restaurant business in Toronto is hard,” she said. “Often they don’t have the culinary skills or the financial resources. Finances is the biggest barrier they face. Lots of people think the roads are paved with gold and the government hands out money.” While there are government grants available to entrepreneurs, often they will have to take second jobs to help finance their business, Fleming said, adding a restaurant idea might turn into a catering business. LEF offers two free components to its Emerging Entrepreneur Program: a two-week course testing the viability of an idea, making
tweaks and adjustments along the way, followed by a six-week program that involves taking their research and building a business plan. The entrepreneurs come from across the globe, Fleming said, adding her program has seen large numbers of participants from Central and South America, Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. “We have one engineer whose family has a clothing business in Pakistan and his family wants to sell their goods here,” Fleming said. “There is definitely family pressure.” Participants in the Emerging Entrepreneur Program will go on trips to Toronto Reference Library to get help with research, and LEF will bring in accountants, lawyers and mentors to help budding >>>newcomers, page 25

n 2003, when Carolina Velez immigrated to Toronto from her native Colombia she had dreams of making her mark on corporate Canada. A 21-year-old armed with a business degree from a top-tier Colombian business school, she didn’t know her lack of Canadian experience would hold her back from climbing the corporate ladder. She’d spend the next eight years toiling in reception and clerical jobs, for which she was over-qualified, at companies where she had no real chance of advancement. “I’m not sure if things have changed for professional immigrants now, but for me it was very difficult because I didn’t have the experience (Canadian companies) wanted. I thought I was going to be able to find a managerial position Carolina Velez launched a now-successful business importing exotic fruit like this pitahaya.
like all my friends from university, who started working right away with multi-nationals in Colombia,” said Velez, who studied economics and international business at Icesi University, one of Colombia’s top-tier business schools.
“
Even if you’re not finding your way right away, don’t give up. Follow your dreams and your passions and everything else will follow. – carolina velez
“I thought I was going to have the same luck here in Canada, but that was far from reality, so I started thinking, if nobody’s going to hire me to be a manager, I will hire myself.” So in October 2011 the entrepreneurial seed for ColombiaExotic – Velez’s now-thriving import company dealing in exotic fruits from Colombia – was planted. Velez was struck by inspiration in the form of a spiky yellow fruit from back home. “I was assisting at a business match-making forum

Carolina Velez visits Vista Cargo in the Pearson Airport district, where she receives her merchandise
in Toronto organized by the Government of Colombia and we were sent a basket with a bunch of fruit. When I tried the yellow pitahaya, I fell in love with it, it was fantastic,” said Velez of the fruit that would become the cornerstone of her start-up, which she describes as a “sweeter, more delicate
and refreshing” version of the dragon fruit. “I was filled with all these ideas on how to market it. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t think about anything else. I wrote my business plan in a week.” While the business struggled in its fledgling years after

>>>from page 24 entrepreneurs in their quest for success, she said. As for how the city benefits from immigrant entrepreneurs, Fleming said if their business brings in even an extra $100 a month, it means they don’t need to rely on things like food banks. Starting in 2013 as a pilot project, the Entrepreneur Connections program run by Access Employment has served about 90 people a year who are looking for ways to bring their business ideas to fruition on Canadian soil, said Irene Sihvonen, director of services and organizational development programs. “They learn about the market in Canada and develop and refine their business plan and idea,” she said. The free four-week program
touches on legal considerations when starting a business, employment standard law, Canadian workplace culture, networking and business communication, Sihvonen said, adding participants often arrive in the city without business contacts, which is critical for success.
“
Some need a business plan, access to grants and funding. But they all have passion for starting a business. – Surranna Sandy
While the entrepreneurs run the gamut from arts and entertainment, education, health and medicine, 66 per cent ran a business outside of Canada and most seek help
with learning how things are done in their new country, she said. “The lack of knowledge of the Canadian market place, the legal requirements, accessing loans and funds,” said Sihvonen of the areas participants need the most assistance with, adding if immigrant entrepreneurs are successful, that means new jobs for the city and a better economy. And Entrepreneur Connections participants have been successful, with 61 businesses registered and 37 generating sales, she said. Surranna Sandy, executive director of Skills for Change, said some of the immigrant entrepreneurs who access their programs have strong business ideas, while others aren’t so certain.
“Some need a business plan, access to grants and funding,” she said. “But they all have passion for starting a business.” Most of the entrepreneurs come from South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America and Mexico and arrived in Canada within three to six months of reaching out to Skills for Change, she said. The biggest barrier they face is accessing financial support, she said. “They don’t have the broader networks yet, the social connections,” she said. By creating jobs and generating incomes, immigrant entrepreneurs are contributing to the city’s economy, which is a win-win situation, Sandy said.
launching in 2012 – Velez’s parents even sold their car after the banks refused to give her a loan – the one-woman start-up has expanded nationwide and, last year, saw its sales double. With Loblaws as its primary customer, ColombiaExotic now imports six varieties of fruit to the grocery giant’s stores in Quebec, Ontario, Newfoundland and New Brunswick. In recognition of her company’s strides, which Velez still runs almost single-handedly, she was named as one of the city’s Most Promising Immigrant Entrepreneurs in 2013 by Connect Legal, a registered charity that aims to foster entrepreneurship in the immigrant community. She was also honoured in March as one of Canadian Im m i g ra n t m a g a z i n e’s Five Immigrant Women of Inspiration in a cover story intended to motivate other newcomer women to reach for their dreams. To fledgling entrepreneurs, Velez offers one simple piece of advice. “Even if you’re not finding your way right away, don’t give up. Follow your dreams and your passions and everything else will follow.” WHAT’S YOUR
