First-ever grant helps SKETCH bright future ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com

IT’S HAPPENING

A $20,000 infusion into a westend music program will help it reach even more at-risk youth across the city.

SKETCH, an art-making organization for street-involved youth, was announced as the first recipient of a new grant program called The MusiCounts TD Community Music Grant at an event at Masaryk-Cowan Community Recreation Centre on Tuesday.

associated with the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS).

The money will be used to purchase laptops, guitars and recording studio equipment for the creation of a mobile recording and production studio, which enables the program to be taken to various priority neighbouhoods across the city, according to Michael O’Connell, a music program instructor at the SKETCH Working Arts Program.

O’Connell said the equipment will help equalize access >>>DREW, page 5

It could be as simple as a puppycentric wading pool or as elaborate as bleachers and features built around a dog oasis. Either way, Krystine May is hoping a petition she started will convince the city to build Toronto’s first water feature for dogs.

May, who lives near Trinity Bellwoods Park, is the owner of two French bulldogs, Tank, 5, and Pepper, 3. She also owns a clothing company specializing in dog and children’s outerwear, inspired by her pups, and said she is ingrained in the urban dog owners scene in Toronto’s

downtown.

She often takes her dogs to the off-leash area in Trinity Bellwoods Park.

“When we had the heat wave this summer, there was nowhere for me to take them to cool them down,” May said.

“Sure I can hose them down in my backyard, but I thought it would be really nice to be able to go to a park and let them splash around in a pool, just like kids would.”

The more May started to talk to people in her community about it, the more she felt others also thought a water feature for dogs would be a good idea. >>>TRINITY, page 8

Ex welcomes new Canadian citizens

“

ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com The process to become a Canadian citizen wasn’t easy. It took a long time and a lot of work, but when Hassiba Slimani was the first person called up to be recognized at a special citizenship ceremony at the Canadian National Exhibition, she said it was all worth it.

“I am so happy, I have been waiting such a long time,” Slimani said.

Slimani, 31, lives at Dundas and Bloor in Toronto’s west end.

Originally from Algeria, in North Africa, Slimani came to Canada eight years ago and both of her children were born here.

“Canada is the best country,” Slimani said. “Back home you don’t have as many rights and it isn’t a great place to raise kids. That is why we came here.”

While Slimani and her family were going to spend the rest of the special day at the CNE enjoying the rides and games, she said what she was most looking forward to, as a new citizen of Canada, was to get

Bloor West residents Hassiba Slimani and her two-year-old daughter Wissam Slimani were welcomed as new citizens at a special ceremony at the Canadian National Exhibition on Thursday.

her Canadian passport.

“I want to travel and see different places around the world,” Slimani said.

The citizenship ceremony is the

formal entry into the Canadian family for a new Canadian.

The ceremony on Thursday was presided over by Judge George Springate, Canada’s Senior

I am so happy, I have been waiting such a long time.

– Hassiba Slimani

Citizenship Judge.

Judge Springate told the new citizens he is the son of immigrants.

“My parents came to Canada for exactly the same reasons you did,” he said. “Because Canada promised them a better future and a better life for their children.”

Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander administered the Oath of Citizenship.

“You are all very dear to my heart because without you we wouldn’t have the country that we have,” Alexander said, adding the location of the ceremony was of particular importance. “(The CNE) is one of our national institutions that showcases who we are as a country,” Alexander said.

When the rides and games are packed up and move on, work will begin to create Festival Plaza at Exhibition Place.

The plan is to create multi-use space that could hold 100,000 people or a small fair, still accommodate the Canadian National Exhibition and the Honda Indy, and drastically improve a now barren corner of the Exhibition Grounds.

Festival Plaza will occupy a large parcel of land (6.7 hectares), on the grounds, currently a parking lot south of BMO Field and the Direct Energy Centre, immediately south of Princes’ Boulevard down to Ontario Place.

“It will still be a parking lot, but it can also be used as a temporary event space for large city events,” Diane Young, Exhibition Place CEO, said.

The Board of Governors at Exhibition Place decided as part of its 2009-2012 strategic plan it would develop a master plan for ‘Festival Plaza’. $10-million project The $10 million project will move forward this year after the Canadian National Exhibition.

The first phase would include leveling the property; installing the electrical, water and drainage infrastructure below ground; resurfacing and relining the parking area; and the construction of some washrooms.

“You probably aren’t going to notice too much for the first part of it,” Young said. “Because it is built over the old (Exhibition) stadium site it is very uneven, so in the first phase we really are just trying to even it out so there aren’t these gullies.”

The second stage will involve installing a permeable pavement on the south end of the lot.

“We will have half a parking lot permeable,” she said, adding that the north half of the lot will need to remain asphalt to accommodate the tents, booths and rides set up there during the CNE.

Lots to look forward to in new school year

N

ew schools, new programs, new teachers, new classmates. There’s lots going on at both the Toronto public and Catholic school boards as the new school year begins Tuesday.

In our special feature in today’s edition, we look at what’s new in the schools.

And there’s plenty: both locally and around the city. To see our comprehensive coverage of what’s new across Toronto, visit us online at bit.ly/ TOschoolnews A number of Catholic elementary students will be starting classes in new school buildings with the openings of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati in northeast Scarborough and St. Ambrose near Dufferin and Dundas streets.

The need for a school in the recently built Scarborough neighbourhood was huge, and parents and students alike are excited about the opening.

But education is more than bricks and mortar. It’s about people and programs, of our view which there’s lots to be excited about this year.

For example, a number of Courses and Northview Heights Secondary sharing at School students will be sharing what they learned at this schools month’s Adobe Voices digital media arts summit in California.

They were the only students from Toronto to attend the summit, which featured students from 23 countries sharing art projects aimed at making social changes in areas such as bullying and cultural awareness.

Also, students at a number of schools including Blacksmith Public School will be using technology to improve their math skills by playing the computer game Prodigy.

Less high-tech, but every bit as valuable in the real world, students and their families live in, is a bicycle repair and maintenance program at Central Commerce Collegiate Institute.

At Bishop Marrocco/Thomas Merton Catholic Secondary School, new principal Derek Chen admits he has some big shoes to fill in replacing Maria Pereira. “She’s a legend,” Chen said. “I’m pretty honoured to follow in her footsteps.”

While students have all this and more to look forward to, a big part of back to school is also showing off the new fashions to classmates. With that in mind, we invite readers to enter our First day of School Contest. Send us your best first day of school photo and you could win a $250 Cadillac Fairview gift card.

Reader writes in his support for cutting councillor numbers Council absolutely needs to reduce the number of politicians.

Politicians want to expand for more job security.

Taxpayers are looking to survive the constant barrage of regulations and increasing financial burdens, so politicians can enjoy their higher pays and job security.

By the way, we moved to Toronto from Florida and found you can’t wash your car in your driveway or the street.

I wonder which politician got paid by the car wash industry to push such nonsense.

New High Park nature club for youth High Park Rangers is the Nature Centre’s newest nature club for youth.

The High Park Rangers will be meeting Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. to take care of the nature in High Park. This is a great way to spend time outdoors, meet like-minded youth, learn more about nature with experienced naturalists and accumulate “community involvement hours” for high school.

Rangers are asked to make a commitment to attend at least six Thursday meetings and are expected to contact the Nature Centre if they can’t make it. Meetings take place Sept. 19 and 26, Oct. 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 and Nov. 7.

Throughout the season, Rangers will be planning a “Know Your Nature” public walk to teach the community about their stewardship activities.

The hike will be on Saturday, Nov. 9 from 1 to 3 p.m.

In addition to the “Know Your Nature” hike rangers must commit to helping lead at least one more Family Nature Walk on a Saturday afternoon. Rangers may choose to help lead more, if they like.

Drew jammed with kids >>>from page 1 to the tools youth need to make music and say what they need to say.

“This infusion of equipment and capital and care is really going to help us strengthen our program, but it is also going to allow us to go out and find people who are facing so many barriers that they can’t even make it to SKETCH to come to our programs,” O’Connell said.

SKETCH works with homeless and youth living on the margins. It provides youth with various arts-based programming including a music program, which runs out of Masar yk-Cowan Community Recreation Centre in Parkdale.

Kevin Drew, who lives near Queen and Bathurst streets in Toronto’s downtown west

end, is one of the founding members of the band Broken Social Scene and co-owner of the independent music label Arts and Crafts. Drew, who performed at the event with SKETCH musicians, was one of the inspirations behind the new grant.

Allan Reid, the director of MusiCounts, explained the seed for the program was laid about two years ago when he had a meeting with Drew.

“He wanted to know if we gave grants outside of the school system,” Reid explained, adding at the time they didn’t.

by TD Bank Group, which was looking to help young people. Reid said he drew on that earlier meeting with Drew and the groundwork

Advice from CCAC can ease your child’s anxiety and stress about the first week of school The first weeks of a new school year can be both exciting and daunting: new teachers and classmates, bigger classrooms, new routines, more schoolwork - these can all contribute to feelings of insecurity and uncertainty.

This can be an especially anxiety-ridden time for those changing schools, or making the move from elementary school to high school or onwards, and can negatively affect your child’s mental health.

Schools are at the forefront of dealing with mental health and addictions issues experienced by children and youth.

A team of specialized mental health and addictions nurses at Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) work in Toronto’s schools to provide advice, consultation and education on mental health issues. Here are some tips to de-stress students returning to school: • Remember: mental health is just as important as physical health • Sleep well and eat well-balanced meals: this is a foundation every child needs • For younger children, es-

Keep the lines of communication open with your child when it comes to their fears about the upcoming school year.

tablish a “back to school” routine around wake-up time, bedtime, and meals before school starts • Parents, be positive: children take cues from you.

Your excitement and confidence about the upcoming school year will spread • Communication is key! Ask your children about fears and concerns about the new school year. Listen. Check in often and show support.

• What can increase comfort levels during the first week back: help your child figure out their new bus or subway route; take your younger child on a walk around their school, pointing out their classes – these will all help them feel more confident about

their new environment • Emotions magnify – parents can support children through feelings of fear, anxiety, or uncertainty, and they won’t find them so overwhelming. Make sure your child knows they are not alone.

• Encourage your child to build friendships Back to school stress and anxiety are normal for students, and usually they pass within the first few days or weeks. If your child continues to seem anxious or stressed, or displays unusual behavioral changes, it may be time to seek the assistance of a mental health professional.

Trinity Bellwoods Park dog bowl ‘the perfect place’: May >>>from page 1 “My t h o u g h t i s t h a t nobody has pushed for it,” May said.

Trinity Bellwoods Park has a rather large and well-used off-leash area in a recessed area of the park known as the “dog bowl”, which May said she believes is the perfect place to house a water feature, like a wading pool, just for dogs.

Currently there are no water features in any parks in Toronto designed, or dedicated, for dog use, May said.

Dogs are not permitted to go into any kind of pools or wading pools currently in Toronto parks.

Cherry Beach, in Toronto’s east end, has an off-leash area that extends into Lake Ontario, but it isn’t a viable option for May, Tank and Pepper.

“I don’t own a car, so to be able to get out there is a problem,” May said. “And because of the E. coli levels after the (July 8) flood, there were several weeks during the heat wave where you couldn’t actually take them there anyway.”

These things all contributed to May starting a petition aimed at Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation asking them to build a water feature for dogs in Trinity Bellwoods Park off-leash area.

The petition can be found at http://chn.ge/172pMW3 She also started a facebook group to promote her proposal for a wading pool or water feature dedicated to dogs called Trinity Bellwoods Dog

Staff photo/ADAM DIETRICH

Tom Walmsley plays with his dog Nina in the dog bowl at Trinity Bellwoods Park on Saturday.

Water Park Campaign (www. facebook.com/home.php#!/ groups/188623814641880).

May has been in touch with area park and residents groups as well as Councillor Mike Layton, and May said everyone she has spoke to are receptive to the idea.

“I still have to do a lot of leg work getting the word out,” May said. “But no one I have spoke to verbally about it has thought it was a bad idea.”

She said she hopes to piggyback a presentation about a dog water feature onto a community meeting this fall.

Her dreams for the offleash area don’t end with the water feature. May said she envisions seating along the incline into the bowl for families to watch the dogs, as well as activities and dogoriented markets and events and proper green bins to put dog waste.

“As a dog owner I feel like it would be a really unique feature for the neighbourhood,” May said. “It would

be advancement for the dog community and the whole community.”

Ed Wugalter, chair of the K9 committee in High Park, said a dog water feature is something dog owners would love, provided it is sanitary.

“It would need continuous circulation of water,” Wugalter said.

“These pools or bowls can get filthy in very short periods and can become hazardous to dogs’ health.”

In High Park, someone has brought a small wading pool of their own to the park where they supervise it and keep it clean for a couple of hours in the evening, Wugalter said.

But the city refused the organization’s request to have a sprinkler running to let the dogs cool off because it would result in mud as there of the lack of a connected drain.

transit new TTC uniforms causing a stir wProposed Controversy erupted last week when TTC workers rejected a proposed uniform re-design resembling the colours of the Montreal Canadiens.

The outcry was so much it led TTC CEO Andy Byford to say in a statement that a posted picture of a blue, red and white striped golf shirt was only a “proposal” and no final choice has been made.

Byford said he preferred a “predominantly” blue uniform, a colour deeply associated with the Canadiens’ arch-rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Whatever the design, TTC workers are scheduled to wear the new duds beginning in 2014.

TUFF hits TTC subway stations Sept. 13 to 15 JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

a different film screening every 10 minutes on each of the network’s 290 Pattison Onestop screens.

The brainchild of founder and Executive Director Sharon Switzer of Art 4 Commuters, the festival features animated and live-action shorts.

Switzer said the idea for TUFF came about after she spoke with the company that operates the screens in subway

Commuters taking the subway will be able to enjoy short, independent films as they wait for their ride with the return of the Toronto Urban Film Festival (TUFF).

Now in its seventh year, TUFF offers a selection of silent, one-minute shorts from around the world, with

stations.

“It was sort of a no-brainer,” she said. “You have a city that loves film, you give people films in public spaces, who’s not going to love it?”

This year’s TUFF festival features 82 films from 20 countries. Of those, 23 come from Toronto, with some coming from as far away as Kenya and Iran. The selections were chosen from some 390

submissions by guest judge and acclaimed filmmaker Bruce McDonald.

“What we used to get in a (minute-long film), when you compare it to what we get now, the difference is amazing,” Switzer said.

In addition to the selected films, TUFF will include some special series like experimental filmmaker Christina Battle’s “we’re not exactly sure what happened”, which provides alternative imagery to go along with snippets from CNN’s coverage of the Boston bombing from April.

“She took the transcripts of the nonsense CNN was broadcasting while reporting on the Boston City bombings where they didn’t know what was going on but kept having to talk because it’s CNN,” Switzer said.

While TUFF has always traditionally provided subterranean entertainment, it is also moving above ground this year with a series of eightsecond shorts by media artist David Clark.

Carpe Diem screening on a Pattison Onestop screen in St. Patrick station. The film is part of the Toronto Urban Film Festival, which brings short films to commuters on the TTC.

“Pattison Onestop has a giant video billboard at Yonge and Edward, just north of Dundas and we’ll be using that,” Switzer said.

Select screens in Dundas, St. Andrew and Yonge-Bloor stations will be dedicated purely to TUFF films, and the films will also be screened as a collection at the Drake Hotel

in a special screening room with showings from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Friday, Sept. 13 through Sunday, Sept. 15.

As always, commuters will be encouraged to vote for their favourite shorts, with the top films up for awards.

Have your say about jet planes at Billy Bishop airport

MPP Cheri DiNovo hosts videoconference question-and-answer sessions Friday afternoons

“

ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com Parkdale High-Park residents can now email, facebook, tweet or call in questions to their Member of Provincial Parliament while watching the discussion unfold live on the Internet.

Earlier this summer MPP Cheri DiNovo started to live stream a question-and-answer session with constituents each Friday afternoon.

“It is hard to see everyone who wants to see me so this allows a whole lot more people access,” DiNovo said.

DiNovo got the idea to host these live streamed discussions after she was asked to be part of a “Google Hangout”, a videoconference that allows two or more users to talk and see each other via a web camera, hosted by Steve Paikin of the television show The Agenda.

“I had my staff look into them and we decided to launch one,” DiNovo said of the videoconferencing technology.

When meeting face to face there are limits as to the time and

availability of politicians, DiNovo explained.

“People often have questions that they don’t necessarily have to come in and make an appointment about, but they just want it answered quickly,” DiNovo said. “This way they can submit the questions.”

These talks also open up a line of questioning that people might not otherwise pose, DiNovo said.

“People sometimes will ask a critical question that they might be a little shy to ask you in person,” she said. “This allows them the chance to do that.”

Each week since launching the chats, the MPP’s constituency office has received more and more questions through social media, which has proven to DiNovo these

– Cheri DiNovo

Internet discussions are a worthwhile endeavor.

The talks are held from noon to 12:30 p.m. Fridays and DiNovo addresses as many questions as she can in the half hour.

“People really appreciate it,” DiNovo said.

She said she expects the audience will continue to build and she also thinks the idea will catch on with other politicians at Queen’s Park.

“It is pretty cost effective. It isn’t like a telephone town hall, that is pretty expensive to run,” DiNovo said.

The next MPP online update will be held Aug. 30. Constituents can also view past updates through the YouTube channel.

The public is being invited to join in the conversation surrounding the use of jet airplanes at Billy Bishop Toronto Centre Airport (BBTCA).

The use of jets at the island airport has raised the ire of some, and the city is asking residents across the city to have their say on the matter. Issues to be discussed will include noise, safety, infrastructure, public health, transportation impacts, land use, marine impacts, economic impacts and the effects jets would have on the community.

Porter Airlines brought forth an application in May asking city council to permit amendments to the 1983 Tripartite Agreement between the city, the federal government and the Toronto Port Authority in order to allow commercial jets to land at BBTCA. In order for the agreement to be amended, it must be signed off on by all three parties.

The island airport has seen rampant growth over the past few years.

Between 2009 and the end of 2012, the number of passengers using the airport grew from roughly 770,000

to more than 1.9 million.

The public will be able to speak about the possibility of jet airplanes at BBTCA with city staff and technical consultants at a pair of upcoming workshops and can attend a town hall meeting.

Consultations The first public consultation event takes place Wednesday, Sept.

4 in the Blue Barracks Room of Fort York with a drop-in from 2 to 3 p.m. and the workshop running from 3 to 5 p.m.

The second, on Monday, Sept.

9 in Metro Hall Rooms 308 and 309, will include a drop-in from 6 to 7 p.m. and a workshop from 7 to 9 p.m.

The town hall meeting, to be held Thursday, Sept. 12 in Salon 205 of the Direct Energy Convention Centre at Exhibition Place, will include a drop-in from 6 to 7 p.m. and presentations and a discussion.
