HOGTOWN HEAT: Argonaut Rowing Club member Valerie Brent rows during the Hogtown Heat Regatta Sunday morning at the Parkdale club on Lake Shore Boulevard. The host club went on to win this heat against the Don Rowing Club.

Putting rail corridor on right track LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Several initiatives are taking place along the West Toronto rail corridor, such as the extension of a linear park and upgrades by provincial transit agency Metrolinx to improve transportation services to and from downtown, yet an urban

designer says there is no cohesion between the projects.

“We noticed lots of initiatives were taking place along the rail corridor, but none of them were talking to each other,” architect and urban designer Gaston Soucy told The Villager.

This was the catalyst for a University of Toronto urban design studio led by Soucy and

colleague Ken Greenberg.

International graduate students from the university’s John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design were tasked to create a development framework that builds on existing plans, initiatives and proposals associated with transportation, urban design, architecture, landscape

and greenspace along the corridor.

Their work has been turned into an exhibition, Tapping the Potential of the West Toronto Rail Corridor, which opened Aug. 14 at the Urbanspace Gallery, dedicated to exploring the design governance and culture of cities, and runs until >>>WORK, page 7

Wo r k c o n t i n u e s o n t h e Sunnyside Pavilion restaurant and patio this summer. Cyclists, runners, in-line skaters and lakefront visitors have had to find an alternative rest spot and a place to grab a bite.

The project involves concrete restoration of the pavilion, courtyard landscaping, roof repairs, public washroom renovations and safety improvements.

The pool and public change rooms are remaining open throughout the project. The public washrooms are currently open, but will be closed during phase 2 of the project, starting next spring.

Built in 1922, the pavilion is designated a heritage building and therefore its restoration must be done carefully.

According to historical records, the original function of the pavilion was to provide changing facilities for swimming in Lake Ontario, however the lake was often too cold and so an adjoining public swimming pool was built in 1925.

The Pavilion was renovated in 1980 to provide updated changing facilities and a café along the beach as well as a garden.

The restoration project is scheduled for completion in fall 2015.

What to ‘Ex’pect at the CNE this year HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com

‘Ex’ could top 1.3 million visitors HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com The 136th annual Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) kicked off Friday morning with its opening ceremonies in front of the Princes’ Gates, and for many Torontonians it’s the beginning of a yearly tradition of food, fun and festivities.

“When you walk through those gates, today or during the next 17 days, fun and entertainment hits you right in the face,” said Brian Ashton, president of the Canadian National Exhibition Association, to the crowd at the gates.

Last year the CNE brought in 1.3 million people through its gates and General Manager David Bednar is hoping to surpass that this year.

Some attractions include the nightly pyrotechnics show, the Amazing Kreskin a world-renowned mentalist, The Mirage: Acrobatic Show and the new Pan Am Sport Zone.

For the official opening of the CNE, the first family winners, the Miropolosky family, along with actor R.H. Thomson cut the ribbon to signify the opening.

Once completed the family of four from Thornhill

couldn’t wait to start their day at the CNE. “I’m shaking with excitement,” said Natasha Miropolosky, the official winner of the ChumFM contest.

She’s the mother of two children, Nicole, 15, and Dennis, 9, and the wife of Dmitry. Along with being the CNE first family, they also won an all-expense paid 7-day trip to Cancun.

The whole family attended the event and was looking forward to heading over to the PC Financial Zip Line right after the opening ceremonies.

“That’s one of the first rides I’m going to go on today,” said Nicole. “I’m excited to go on everything.”

Dennis, like most patrons of the CNE, is looking forward to the food, especially Tiny Tom Donuts.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Great War and the CNE has two exhibits to commemorate the occasion.

At the Canadian Armed Forces Interactive Exhibit, attendees can experience what it was like to be a soldier in the trenches during the First World War. “Visitor will be able to go through that trench and look through one of the peepholes and see what the battlefield

would have been like back then,” said Bednar.

There will also be a photo display, 100 YearsRemembering the First World War, that depicts the CNE’s own history as a military training ground.

“Many of those who served came through this land, through this particular piece of real estate that shut down as a fair and became a military training camp,” said YorkSimcoe MP Peter Van Loan at the opening ceremony.

“It’s that contribution to Canada’s proud military history that we’re celebrating here today at the Canadian National Exhibition. Although Canada saw great loses during the Great War, I think it’s only right that we reflect upon those sacrifices Canadians made at the time.”

Patrons from all over the city, and the world, gathered to watch the opening ceremony including Rishi Ramsaran, 36, from Trinidad.

“I’m game for anything,” said Ramsaran, when told of the deep fried chocolate chicken that’s available to try.

“Anything that’s unique, I’m going to try it...I don’t know if I’ll like it, but I’ll try it.”

This is his first time coming to the CNE and he said he’s

interested in seeing what all the fuss is about and how it compares to different events in Trinidad.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was also in attendance along with John Tory and Olivia Chow. After the ceremony, Ford said he won’t be trying some of the more indulgent foods available at this year’s food building.

“I have to watch what I eat. I can’t eat like I used to,” said Ford. “I’ll just have some chicken and vegetables.”

The food is a major draw for many at the CNE and by mid-day the food building was already starting to fill up with hungry patrons. This year offers a crazy selection of items including a grilled cheese sandwich filled with all of Elvis’ favourites – banana, bacon, peanut butter and cheese.

There’s also bacon wrapped corn, deep-fried chocolate chicken, a Thanksgiving waffle with all the traditional fixings and spicy peanut butter Sriracha rolls.

But for Fred Bergen, 45, from Mississauga, and Kim Cunningham, 43, from Bradford, they’re all about the sweet treats. The pair split a Caramilk Crowbar from Hula Girl Espresso and each had a butter coffee.

It’s that bittersweet time of year. Summer is coming to a close, but the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is here to help you send off summer right.

This year patrons can soak up the sights, sounds and smells they’ve always loved with a few new additions.

If you’re a country guy or gal at heart then you’ll feel right at home in the new Northern Comfort Saloon.

According to general manager of the CNE, David Bednar, this is the chance for Torontonians to “let out their inner cowboy and cowgirl.”

Last year 1.3 million visitors visited Exhibition Grounds, even with the infamous cronut burger incident that made more than 220 patrons ill, but Bednar is confident this year every vendor is up to code.

“Food safety has always been, and will always be, a priority at the CNE,” said Bednar.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Toronto Star Food Building. Food lovers are in for a treat this year with a handful of new food combinations.

Patrons can get a piece

of cocoa-infused deep fried chicken from Coco’s Fried Chicken, where chocolate is incorporated into the batter and served with a side of chocolate ketchup.

The crowbar, a play off of the cronut minus the illness, is made by Hula Girl Espresso and offers Caramilk, Kit-Kat, Mars Bar or Reese’s Pieces chocolate bars baked into a buttery croissant. To wash it all down Hula Girl Espresso also offers butter coffee.

“We were baking one day and thought, what can we do that will be really special, still create a buzz and still maintain some great flavours. And the crowbar was born.” said Elias Vastis, owner of Hula Girl Espresso.

Far East Taco put a twist on the traditional taco and a campfire favourite by creating the S’more Bao taco. A Chinese steam bun replaces the original taco shell and is filled with marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, Nutella and sweet milk cream.

Fr a n’s s e r v e s u p i t s Thanksgiving Waffle, complete with turkey, gravy, cranberry and green onions and a waffle made of Fran’s special stuffing.

i

The CNE runs until Sept. 1.

What are candidates saying about building a better Toronto?

Write us

A

recent study by the University of Toronto says our city has a “major infrastructure funding shortfall” when it comes to financial support from other levels of government and its own property taxpayers.

We have said before that when it comes to projects such as transit expansion, roads and public housing, Toronto residents will get the city they are willing to pay for.

So far, based on the fourth-place finish we received from the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Livability Survey this week, it seems Toronto residents have been getting an excellent return for their relatively low investment.

That’s especially true since Toronto property taxes are, on average, lower than those paid by residents of other Ontario cities, according to the U of T report, Is Toronto Fiscally Healthy? our view The report by the Institute for Municipal Finance and Decide what Governance at U of T’s Munk School of Global Affairs also said we are willing Toronto does not have a problem when it comes to spending of taxto pay for payers’ dollars.

“Toronto does not face a fiscal crisis by any means,” the report said.

Toronto’s challenge is bringing in more money to pay for needed infrastructure improvements.

In responding to the report, city manager Joe Pennachetti pointed out there is not a lot of room left for cost-cutting in the city, but “we don’t have all the revenues to ensure we can grow a city that we all want.”

Most concerning is the estimated $860-million repair backlog faced by Toronto Community Housing, Canada’s biggest landlord. The operation of public housing is fully funded in every province except Ontario.

Also, the city still must cover the operating costs of the TTC to the tune of $250 million, funding that used to come from the province.

As campaigning becomes more intense in this fall’s municipal election, candidates will be cherry-picking bits of the U of T report as either justification for their past actions or as a call for change. Both arguments will have some merit.

This campaign, listen to candidates who can speak about the challenges the city faces, what kind of city we want to build, what are we willing to pay for and who should be paying.

Time to let the Toronto Zoo make its own decisions The Toronto Zoo turned 40 on Friday, and the best present Toronto could give it is independence.

City councillors proved it didn’t have that by sending the zoo’s elephants to a sanctuary, over the objections of keepers and the zoo’s management board.

Loss of accreditation By the time the “ladies” arrived in California last October, after a tug-ofwar lasting years, the U.S. Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) had stripped the zoo of accreditation.

Those elephants may be happier at the sanctuary; they’re certainly warmer, but the zoo’s prospects are damaged when it’s needed more than ever to breed endangered animals and protect them in the wild, and to teach people how to stop extinctions.

That’s work supported by both sides in the elephant battle, but one side, backed

mike adler the city by most city councillors, made it harder for the zoo to reach its goals.

Glenn De Baeremaeker, a councillor on the zoo board, says AZA is a “morally bankrupt” institution the zoo shouldn’t rejoin.

That’s fine, until you consider animals the zoo has on loan to AZA zoos or is loaning from them, or conservation programs it works on with other AZA zoos.

The longer it’s stuck with lower status, the harder dealing with AZA zoos gets, and it can’t get accredited until council agrees that, while the city owns the animals, the zoo decides what’s done with them.

Council also rejected the zoo’s proposal in 2012 to run itself through an independent body, as it did between 1974 and 1978.

This time, the body

“

This city stepped up for a place to house fine art. Why wouldn’t Torontonians do the same for the zoo, and the world’s animals?

would have “prominent corporate, community and business leaders,” and no council control.

Independence De Baeremaeker calls this “a fiasco,” but Gloria Lindsay Luby, a councillor and zoo board vice chairperson, hopes a report on zoo governance is heard next year by a different council that will “leave the zoo matters up to the zoo.”

Lack of independence also hobbled the zoo’s fundraising.

Its renewal plan in 2009 – $250 million over 10 years – was abandoned.

Contrast that with the

Art Gallery of Ontario’s Transformation AGO funding drive; it met its $254-million goal five months early in 2008, then increased it to $276 million.

This city stepped up for a place to house fine art.

Why wouldn’t Torontonians do the same for the zoo, and the world’s animals? extinction Our zoo is part of that mounting public infrastructure deficit mentioned in a University of Toronto report last week – only this isn’t chunks falling off the Gardiner Expressway, it’s a $15-million animal hospital the zoo needs but can’t afford; it’s work to save animals from human-caused extinction.

It can’t happen unless the next city council unchains the zoo and trusts it to be on its own.

Money Fish are out of water at 2014 BuskerFest HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com Think flapper girls in gold meets synchronized swimmers, only the routine isn’t done in water at all, and you have Money Fish, one of this year’s many entertaining acts coming to the 2014 Scotiabank BuskerFest.

Decked off in ‘50s inspired swimsuits with matching swim caps, green flippers and glittering gold and green makeup, a trio of women – Molly Keczan, Emily Hughes and Natalie Parkinson – from the Hercinia Arts Collective put on a body-twisting synchronized swimming routine.

“People like it, they think it’s super weird and funny,” said 30-year-old Hughes.

“I think the way we look in-andof-itself with the weird costumes and the flippers is a spectacle.”

This year BuskerFest has teamed up again with the Downtown Yonge Street BIA to bring the eclectic street festival to the heart of the city. It plans to have a performance for everyone, including silent comedies, magicians, daredevils and high skill circus acts, to name a few.

The three-day festival is Epilepsy

Toronto’s largest fundraising activity for the year. It brings performers from all over the world to one area for a good cause. Participating acts will be performing between Queen and College Streets on 11 different stages.

The Hercinia Arts Collective will be one of the handful of “roamers” that will take to Yonge Street from Aug. 21-24 to entertain audiences.

“It’s really fun to wander around to people who are sitting on a patio eating or drinking beer and just go over and play with them for a minute. And they get to see pieces of the festival walking by,” said 27-yearold Parkinson.

“We’re kind of like an unexpected installation.”

To prepare for BuskerFest the trio practices their routine for 15-20 hours a week in their studio on Jefferson Avenue in Liberty Village.

They’ve been a part of BuskerFest for four years and each year they bring something different to patrons. This time around it’s Money Fish, a silent comedic body bending routine.

The 10-15 minute show has Hughes, Keczan and Parkinson twisting their bodies and climbing on each other to make various

shapes and letters. The routine is also interactive and gets the audience involved in more ways than one.

The idea of Money Fish came from collaborating with one of their fellow buskers, Kalen Davidson, also known as Pyromeo. They were in a show about underwater exploration and he had a vision of these Money

Fish, a fictitious species, as part of it. From there the idea evolved and eventually Parkinson, Hughes and Keczan decided to take that part of the routine, change it and test it out on unsuspecting audiences. It was well received and they decided to run with it.

None of the women have a background in synchronized swimming,

2014

but they do enjoy watching it on television and use it as a source of inspiration.

“I love watching it because they walk on and they’re so serious and poised,” said Keczan.

“That’s kind of what we wanted to capture with these characters, but go over the top with it.”

For all three women, the best part of participating in BuskerFest is the audience interaction and feedback.

“That’s the beauty of street theatre. Every time you go out it’s something different. Even though we might be doing the same thing, it’s never boring because you’re getting so much back from your audience,” said Keczan.

“Even if someone is giving you a hard time, or not joining in, there’s so many ways that we grow from that because we find new ways to deal with it and create something.”

trains arrive wTheExpress for testing first Union Pearson (UP) Express trains have arrived in Toronto for testing.

Reaching a top speed of 145 kilometres per hour, Metrolinx says the new trains will be able to travel between Terminal One of Pearson International Airport to a new station located inside Union Station’s Skywalk in 25 minutes, making two stops along the way at Weston and Bloor GO stations.

Eighteen of the “clean diesel” trains were ordered

by Metrolinx for the all-day UP service, which can be converted to electric in the future, although the province has not yet announced when that will happen.

Metrolinx says the service will cater to businessclass travellers. The service launches next year.

UP Express noise wWhile wall concerns there is plenty of enthusiasm for UP’s debut, the service has also faced plenty of criticism.

One contentious matter is a plan to erect 10 kilometres

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT of concrete sound barriers, or “noise walls,” that Metrolinx says are necessary to limit the noise and vibrations caused by future UP diesel train traffic traveling along the Georgetown South rail corridor.

Opponents of the walls, including the Junction Triangle Rail Committee, say the walls are too high and will prevent future electrification of the corridor.

Construction of the noise walls, estimated to cost at least $20 million, was scheduled to start this week. planning wAnUrban contest awards urban planning contest for young city builders under the age of 30 has awarded a $5,000 cash prize for a proposal to make Yonge Street more pedestrian-friendly.

Richard Valenzona took home the 2014 NXT City Prize for his idea to turn Yonge, between Queen Street and College Street, into a pedes-

trian corridor.

In addition to the cash, Valenzona, a graduate student, gets access to “seed funding” of $10,000.

Other cash prizes were handed out during an awards gala Aug. 14. The NXT City Prize is co-sponsored by the City of Toronto.

New Union Station platform opens RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Cramped Union Station commuters have a lot more elbow room to look forward to with the opening of a new subway platform.

The addition of the second platform splits the service of the station’s two train lines.

Yonge line commuters now move to the new area, while riders waiting for University line trains remain on the central platform.

The new waiting space is wider and more brightly lit.

It has an elevator, wider stairwells, a new entrance from the moat area leading into the new south concourse as well as connections leading to Front Street and the PATH. The new platform, which opens in an unfinished state with some final cosmetic touches remaining, doubles Union’s passenger capacity, said TTC Spokesperson Brad Ross.

“The station was always kind of confusing with the way it was designed, and we

needed to update and modernize based on that capacity need,” said Ross Saturday, during a media tour of the new area.

The second platform’s opening marks another milestone in the TTC’s $137-million modernization of Union, which started in 2011 and needs to be fully completed in time for the start of the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

A new concourse in the south end of the subway station opened last year, and the central platform – at just more than 22 feet wide, the narrowest passenger waiting area of the TTC’s 64 subway and RT stations – is set to begin its own much-needed rehabilitation, which will include new station tiles and lighting.

“Everything you see in the new area will be mirrored in this area,” said TTC Project Manager Malcolm MacKay of the work to take place on the centre platform.

Also planned is the relocation of the stairwells from the north side of the platform to

the south side to create more space.

The final step of the construction project is the installation of a 500-foot ad-free “art wall” made up of painted glass panels to act as a colourful barrier between the two subway platforms.

MacKay said subway service at Union, which was closed between St. Andrew station over the weekend due to second platform work, will not be further impacted by the remaining renovations.

Union Station, which also has GO bus and train plus VIA Rail service, is undergoing a massive renovation, including the construction of a new covered retail concourse below Front Street, a GO train shed roof and atrium plus extensive station restorations.

The $795-million project, which is funded by all three levels of government, is not expected to be fully completed until the end of 2016.

The project will also include a station for the Union Pearson Express air rail link, scheduled to open next year.
