Awareness raised after ramp stolen from bookstore ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com Another Story Bookshop is known as the little local bookstore with a focus on equity and social justice, so having the store be accessible is of particular importance to owner Sheila Koffman. “We have a whole section of books about kids with different abilities,” Koffman said. “The idea of having a ramp to make it accessible was really important to us.” But, about a month ago the lime green ramp, provided to them by an organization called StopGap, disappeared

one mid-weeknight from their location at 315 Roncesvalles Ave. Since then Koffman said she has thought about her missing ramp and why someone may have wanted it. “It was really colourful and small and long,” she said. “The best I can figure is that someone thought of it as a game thing... I don’t think there was any malicious intent. It was really narrow and lime green, so I think it just caught someone’s fancy.” Colourful StopGap ramps can be seen complementing shop fronts along >>>store, page 7

Zoo has funding to last through to October LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Two-year-old twins Ava and Clare Moore giggled as they fed food pellets to the llamas at the High Park Zoo during an open house Saturday morning. “Tickle, tickle, tickle,” said Clare as a llama eagerly ate from her hand. The twins visit the zoo at least twice a month said their mother, admitting she’s happy the popular family spot is still open. Pa r k d a l e - H i g h Pa r k Councillor Sarah Doucette

said the community can take credit for helping to keep the zoo open. Since February of last year, residents have donated more than $100,000 towards saving the zoo. Meanwhile, Friends of High Park Zoo, the advocacy group formed in response to keep the tourist attraction open, raised more than $139,000. “We have the funds to keep the zoo open until October this year,” Doucette told those who had gathered at the special open house. For the second year in a >>>donations, page 6

An upcoming information session will inform youth on how they can avoid getting in trouble with police, but also the repercussions if they do. Parkdale youth and their families are invited to an information session on Youth and Justice with Mary Birdsell, executive director of Justice for Children and Youth. The session is being presented by the Parkdale Intercultural Association. Kalsang Dolma, a youth settlement worker at the Pa r k d a l e In t e rc u l t u r a l Association, explained the session will address topics such as Youth Criminal Justice System, youth court records, youth and police interactions and understanding probation and supervision orders. “Sometimes young people, especially newcomers, don’t know about the justice system,” Dolma said. “Mainly it is so they know what the implications are if they get in trouble.” The session takes place Friday, Jan. 18 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Parkdale Intercultural Association, 365 Queen St. W. The session is free and registration is not required. How e v e r, y o u t h c a n RSVP to this event via www. facebook.com/events/ 226211847515190/?ref=2

What started as an idea to create an art and design lovers “to do” list three years ago, has grown into a festival with more than 40 exhibitions celebrating the creativity and versatility of Toronto’s design community. Toronto Design Offsite Festival (TODO) is a not-forprofit, indie design festival with the aim of showcasing local and national designers while fostering a public understanding of the practice of design. This year’s festival features the work of Canadian designers in an array of events across Toronto Jan. 21 and 27 — everything from design prototypes to immersive installations, like The Happy Show, which offers visitors the experience of walking into internationally renowned graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister’s 10-year exploration of happiness. TODO coincides with the Toronto Interior Design Show and Gladstone Hotel’s annual Come Up To My Room alternative design show. In fact, it was Come Up To My Room that, in large part, gave rise to TODO.

The TODO festival was started three years ago by Christina Zeidler, MADE (a collective made up of designers Shaun Moore, Julie Nicholson and Andresa Sisson), Joy Charbonneau, Deborah Wang and Catherine Morley. Things to do “We got together and thought about making a hot list of things to do while you were here,” said Zeidler, Parkdale-based artist and president of the Gladstone Hotel. “So the name TODO came out of that.” The first year, TODO was not much more than a smart phone app with a listing of things to see in the Toronto design scene. “Then Jeremy and Deborah got really excited about it and said they wanted to take it on and do the work and be the festival,” she said. Since its inception, TODO has grown from seven exhibitions to more than 40. Its attendance grew 25 per cent in 2012 from 11,400 to 15,300. “They are doing what we were doing in early years of Come Up to My Room, building it on faith and getting

people involved and building conversations and building community,” Zeidler said. “It is more than making the work, it is building the community around the work.” According to Vandermeij, TODO executive director and Parkdale resident, the exhibits are spread out more than they have ever been at venues such as the Design Exchange, Ontario Crafts Council Gallery, OCAD Student Gallery and the Gladstone Hotel. The festival stretches beyond the Queen West strip to become a citywide festival. “In the second year, we opened up the festival to anyone who wanted to submit an idea for an official off-site exhibition. Twenty groups of people said they wanted to do an exhibition. That number has tripled since the first year,” Vandermeij said. “We weren’t pounding the pavement, we’ve never really done that. It’s been really amazing. We have sponsors and cultural partners.” TODO will host a special Kick-off Weekend in the Junction Jan. 19 and 20. It wraps up at the Come Up To My Room Love Design Party Jan. 26. Visit http://todesignoffsite.com for details. – files from Lisa Rainford

Come Up To My Room celebrates 10 years of art and design ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com

here was a time, Christina Zeidler and Pamila Matharu recalled, when there was no place for the designer in the context of art. No model for a show that balanced creativity and practice with business and community. “Unless you were making cabinets, there was no place for a designer to show,” Zeidler said. That was until Zeidler, an artist, filmmaker and president of the Gladstone Hotel and Matharu, an interdisciplinary artist and educator, dreamed up an event that married art and design. They called it Come Up To My Room. “That hadn’t happened in the design world so much, so it was like taking the strategies from the art world and bringing them to the design world,” Zeidler said. “And it caught on fire.” The show sees more than 5,000 visitors. Come Up To My Room (CUTMR) is the Gladstone Hotel’s annual alternative design event, which provides a venue for designers of all types, including furniture, lighting, cabinet and interior, to show off their artistic side. Now in its 10th year CUTMR is a small, but unique show that is made powerful by its focus and cohesion, Zeidler said. “It is magic, it is alchemy and it is predicated on trust and risk taking and you have to be open to the idea of failure every year,” Zeidler said. CUTMR runs from Jan. 24 to 27 and coincides with the Toronto Design Offsite Festival (TODO) and the Interior Design Show. CUTMR features nine room installations and 19 public space projects with nearly 50 artists involved. The pillars of the show have remained the same over its 10 year history, the women said: it is hosted by the Gladstone; it is site specific; it pulls artists or designers from different areas; and the artists are chosen by their body of works or their intention, and it is new work. “It forces (the curators) to trust the artist or the designer to do their best work,” Zeidler said.

‘The talent in this city is just busting at the seams and I knew if I gave an opportunity to artists to do hotel rooms they would blow it out of the park.’

“It has become what we were trying to do with it.” The hotel and the show evolved together. They come out of the same philosophies of trust, opening up, creating a space that people can access and a cultural hub, the women said. “The parallel history of the hotel and Come Up To My Room are hard to separate,” Zeidler said. “A lot of the ideas we were talking about with Come Up to My Room was also driving the develop-

ment of the hotel as well.” After curating the show for five years, the women passed the task on to The Curatorial Collective, which was formed specifically to work on Come Up to My Room. For CUTMR’s 10th anniversary, Zeidler and Matharu have returned to join The Curatorial Collective along with Noa Bronstein and David DickAgnew. In the early years designers were not accustom to doing site specific work so the show really was a risk,

the women said. Matharu said the first five years of CUTMR were experimental and collaborative and showed that people take artistic risks with CUTMR they wouldn’t necessarily take with design, Matharu said. It was even a tremendous support to her own growth as an artist. “The model of Come Up To My Room has helped the community understand the possibilities of how a venue can support community,” Matharu said. CUTMR has also acted as an incubator and a safe space for designers and artists to take risks and grow. Dennis Lin was their ace in the hole their first year, the women said, and he has since grown to be a household name. MADE (a collective made up by Shaun Moore, Julie Nicholson and Andresa Sisson) was launched at CUTMR and the TODO festival also grew out of it. “The Dressler Brothers, we wouldn’t take credit for their career, but they certainly launched here in many ways,” Zeidler said. “It wasn’t until 2008 that they showed with us, but it was really a signature show for them.” Castor (Brian Richer, Ryan Taylor and Kei Ng), Orest Tataryn, Rob Southcott all had pivotal pieces at CUTMR, the women said, and Allyson Mitchell had a breakout show that helped to make her an international name. “I have heard from a lot of artists that this show gave them the confidence to make it a career,” Zeidler said. The hotel is noted for its artist-designed rooms, which have, in part, been influenced by the Come Up To My Room show. “The talent in this city is just busting at the seams and I knew if I gave an opportunity to artists to do hotel rooms they would blow it out of the park,” Zeidler said. “And they did and that is a testament to the talent of this city. The hotel continues to be a leader in art hotels and it is world renowned.” Visit http://comeuptomyroom.com for more on what is planned for the 2013 edition of CUTMR.

Creating a transit system that works for every Torontonian

oronto residents need to continue to make their voices heard when it comes to the transit issues facing not only our city, but the entire Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance released an update of its Your 32 campaign this week and it shows a growing support among GTHA residents to not only improve transit, but to also accept some of the responsibility for paying for it. John Tory, co-chair of CivicAction, said transportation challenges have become the top issue for GTHA resiour view dents who deal with one of the longest commute times in Accept that North America. He called it “seven-day-ayou have a week paralysis” that deeply affects families and business in role to play the area. The Your 32 campaign asked residents what they would do if they had 32 minutes they otherwise would have had to spend on transit. Spending more time with family was one of the main responses. What really stood out, though, was what Tory called the human cost of our inadequate transportation system. The campaign was done to show support for the regional transit system improvements being proposed by Metrolinx. The Big Move aims to infuse some $50 billion worth of transit improvements in the GTHA over the next 25 years. The campaign helped residents realize the real costs of transit congestion and what it would be worth to them to make things better. We have said before in this space that we in Toronto, and the surrounding regions, will get the transit we are willing to pay for. Yes, provincial and federal governments must shoulder their share of the cost, but residents are also going to have to be willing to accept funding tools such as tax increases dedicated specifically for transit. To that end, the City of Toronto’s planning department is beginnings its own set of public consultations on transit. Chief Planner Jennifer Keesmaat said the meetings are being driven by the need to provide information to Metrolinx on what Toronto’s transit priorities are. We urge Torontonians to participate in these meetings, and play a role in creating a regional transit system that works for all of us. Dates have not been finalized, but we will let our readers know the details. newsroom

The political picture over the past 30 to 40 years has brought the same old names and faces. Why? Because where else do you get paid mega-bucks and really do not have to have any experience or qualifications and answer to no one? These people are professionals at living off the poor dumb taxpayers. Come on fellow voters, it is time we smartened up. Remember there is no rule that says you need a law degree to be a politician. And of course it is high time we put into law the maximum time for all politicians be set at two terms of office. W.D. Adamson

Planner makes brave stand on Toronto transit issues When Jennifer Keesmaat turned up as the City of Toronto’s new chief planner in the summer, it raised a few eyebrows. It’s not to say the former planning consultant wasn’t a good fit. Keesmaat cut her teeth on city politics, working as an executive assistant for Joe Mihevc and councillor Jane Pitfield in the early days of amalgamated Toronto. Keesmaat also came as an advocate for lowerorder transit and cycling and pedestrian accommodation. On the last point, she went so far as to deliver a Toronto Economic Development talk, extolling the virtues of walking to school. She’s a planner that would have been a perfect fit in the David Miller administration. Not so much for the pro-car,

THE CITY

anti-streetcar Ford era. On Monday, Keesmaat stood up in front of the Toronto Board of Trade, pressing a similarly neighbourhood-based agenda. Transportation, she said, remains the singular challenge for growing a city surrounded by sprawling suburbs, both within – and far beyond – city limits. Many of us are spending too long commuting and it’s affecting the city’s ability to attract more jobs and remain livable. Next month, she and the city will be launching a public consultation plan to see

just what level of transit improvement Toronto residents are willing to pay for. But in the speech, she made it clear the biggest transportation improvement the city can make has nothing to do with transportation at all: rather, it involves developing mid-rise housing and commercial space along some of the city’s avenues. As she pointed out: “Where we choose to live is our most important transportation planning problem. If you live in Hamilton and commute to Toronto, even with stateof-the-art transportation infrastructure, you’re commuting for two hours a day.” This is a view entirely consistent with Toronto’s progressivist planning legacy – so not entirely new. But so long as

Toronto continues along the route that Ford began in 2010, it’s clear Keesmaat is fighting against the grain. In a moment of candor, she admitted as much. “We, of course, have a political culture that’s very challenging. I’m not getting into that in any detail, but the reality is we’re in a highly politicized environment. I was warned about the fishbowl before coming here. You can know about it intellectually, but you have no idea what it’s like having so many eyes looking at everything you say or tweet.” The fact that Keesmaat was first hired, and second remains in her position, suggests those eyes are more diverse in opinion than the message from the mayor’s office might suggest.

City Hall

Mayor blasts Perks for ‘hijacking’ casino meeting DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks offered no apologies last Thursday for his role in “hijacking” the city’s first public consultation on a possible casino in the city’s downtown Wednesday night. “It came from conversations I had with people who said, ‘I came down here for a chance to talk. When do I get to do that?” said Perks. “It w a s a t t h e u r g i n g o f Torontonians that we did this.” Perks was one of several leftleaning councillors who attended the city’s consultation on a possible casino at city hall Wednesday night. The consultation is the first of several meetings the city is holding prior to council deciding on whether to welcome a casino to a downtown location. Perks said residents objected to the drop-in format of the consultation, which saw participants separated into groups to discuss various aspects of the casino decision. Joe Pennachetti, Toronto’s city manager, said the consultation is intended to allow residents to have their say on the issue rather than special interest groups. The consultation is also taking place online and so far has garnered about 5,000

responses. Perks said the format might serve the purposes of staff as they prepare their final report on casino gambling for debate in March, but he said it didn’t serve the purposes of the public. “Whatever the goals of Toronto staff were, people who had taken an evening out of their busy lives

were telling me that they wanted a chance to speak, so we gave them one,” he said. Perks and Trinity-Spadina Councillor Adam Vaughan booked a committee room for a public discussion, and less than an hour into the meeting, Perks climbed onto a chair, apologized for the format of the staff meeting, and invited

Have your say on casino issue Have an opinion about Toronto’s future casino? Attend one of the two remaining City of Toronto casino consultations this month and learn more about the consultation process, join discussions on key topics, speak with city staff and provide input. All Torontonians – whether they attend a community discussion or not – are encouraged to fill out the online feedback form at https://surveys.dpra.com/casino/ CasinoSurvey.aspx Residents may drop in anytime to any of the following casino consultation sessions: * Thursday, Jan. 17: Scarborough Civic Centre Rotunda, 150 Borough Dr., 6 to 9 p.m. * Saturday, Jan. 19: Bluma Appel

Salon Reference Library, 789 Yonge St., 1 to 4 p.m. The deadline for public input is Jan. 25. City manager Joe Pennachetti will receive consultation findings to assist in preparation of his report to the city’s executive committee. That committee will consider the possible establishment of a casino in Toronto at its meeting on March 20. A report on the public’s comments will also be made available on the city’s website at www. toronto.ca at that time. Consultation follows an executive committee request to the city manager for public input on the possible establishment of a casino in Toronto.

residents to join them in the other meeting. Perks’ behaviour drew sharp rebukes from Mayor Rob Ford, who said future meetings will have to be organized in such a way as to prevent what he termed a “circus” and a “hijacking.” “We’ll just have to make sure the next meeting doesn’t turn into a circus like the last one,” he said. “I’m very disappointed in how the councillors behaved.” ‘appalling’ Etobicoke North Councillor Doug Ford, a supporter of a casino for Toronto, called Perks’ behaviour “appalling.” “These are bully tactics,” he said. “We have open public consultation. We want to reach out to people. And they jump on chairs and start pulling their intimidation tactics. “Just imagine if Rob and I jumped on a chair... well first of all it wouldn’t hold us... but if we started screaming at people and dividing people and putting half the people in the back room. “We aren’t going to have politicians jumping on chairs and yelling and shouting and intimidating people.”

Donations doubled through to June 15 >>>from page 1 row, the Honey Family Foundation has pledged to match dollar for dollar a maximum of $50,000, the councillor told the crowd. “Today, through to June 15, any donation online you’ll double your donation,” said Doucette. To operate in 2013, the zoo needs $228,000, which is funded only by public donations. To kick off the Honey Foundation matching campaign, Doucette said the zoo had already received a significant influx: $10,000 from local resident and media mogul Moses Znaimer, founder of Citytv and ZoomerMedia Limited. Znaimer did not attend the open house, yet his donation was met by enthusiastic applause. “This is your zoo. With your help, we’re still here,” said Doucette. Currently, Friends of High Park Zoo is looking for volunteers to help out during March Break and through to October. Spokesperson Diane Buckell said the open house raised almost $400 in the donation box at the zoo. If you are interested in helping save the High Park Zoo, join the Friends of High Park Zoo by emailing friendsofhighparkzoo@gmail.com Visit torontoparksandtrees.org/ high-park-zoo to donate.

>>>from page 1 Roncesvalles. They have been making the stores more accessible since the fall of last year. During the 2012 Polish Festival on Roncesvalles Avenue, StopGap, using material donations from community hardware stores and volunteer labour, facilitated the construction, painting and delivery of 43 ramps through a program called The Community Ramp Project. According to StopGap’s creator, Luke Anderson, it is a program that aims to create a world where every person can access every space through fun and engaging community projects that raise awareness and remove barriers. “A lot of people told us they really loved having the ramp there,” Koffman said. “People who come in with strollers, certainly delivery people have said that and we do get some customers in wheelchairs who have said it is really helpful.” When the ramp was stolen the staff at Another Story Bookshop decided to use the incident as a learning tool.

“We are actually looking to set up an event with Luke in the store,” Koffman said. Coincidently, there was a book called The Ramp Man produced about Anderson last spring by his sister Logan Anderson, a teacher at Summit Heights Public School in North York, in collaboration with the school’s Grade Six students and Principal Thelma Sambrook. Inspired by a presentation Luke gave at their school, Grade 6 students helped illustrate the book while Logan and Thelma collaborated on the story. “We do equity nights with teachers so we are looking to do an event where teachers can come in and talk to (Anderson) about his experiences,” said Koffman, who thinks it is really important to emphasize the need for the ramps and increased accessibility across the city. “This city needs to be more accessible, we have to look at accessibility on our public transportation, in all our buildings,” she said. Anderson has been mobile

with the assistance of a wheelchair since sustaining a spinal cord injury while mountain biking when he was 24 years old. Koffman said they will get a new ramp before the educational event and she is looking to purchase one. She intends to bring it in at night. “If somebody wanted to bring it back to us that would be great,” she said. “But if not we are going to buy one.” Koffman said they might also plan a community night where people can come in and meet Anderson and hear where the ramp project came from. T h e m i s s i n g r a m p, Anderson said, has allowed a conversation to begin about other StopGap initiatives. “It could have been a variety store that it was stolen from and this opportunity wouldn’t have presented itself,” Anderson said. Anderson said StopGap is working on a new ramp for Another Story, and they are working on settling a date for him to come and speak at the shop.

Your expertise in the real estate arena is phenomenal, and your customer service is no less than stellar.

Your support system (Tony and Sam) were so pleasant to deal with too. We are all settled into our new place, and couldn’t be happier. The only regret we have is that you weren’t involved in the purchase of our new place.

TOinTRANST

CivicAction: residents want action to reduce congestion RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Whether it’s in the 416 or the 905, a spokesperson for the Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance believes a groundswell of support for transit expansion is building as congestion grows to “crisis” levels in the GTHA. John Tory, from CivicAction, an advocacy group calling for better regional transit connections, said on Monday transportation has become the top local issue for residents concerned with gridlock and daily commute times that are among the highest in North America. “You really get a feel when you travel to the farther reaches of the 416 and even more so into the 905 and see the seven day-a-week paralysis that so deeply affects families and businesses,” said Tory, the group’s chair, during a press conference held by CivicAction at city hall. “Transportation is at an all-time high as a concern for local residents.” Tory, who is also a popu-

lar radio host, presented an update along with CivicAction CEO Mitzie Hunter of the group’s three-month-old Your32 publicity campaign for better transit. He said an “evolution” was taking place in the minds of residents regarding the toll congestion takes on their personal lives. “Individuals are coming to realize congestion caused by a grossly inadequate transportation system is negatively affecting their jobs and their families,” said Tory. “They have come to the conclusion major action is necessary to improve the quality of their own lives.” That action, according to the CivicAction, is investing billions of dollars for a meaningful transformation of the existing transportation network to come directly from both governments and residents. “I think the public have given the signal they want the leaders to get on with building transit and find fair and balanced ways to pay for it,” he said.

Hunter said over the course of its Your32 campaign the group asked residents to weigh in on what they would do with 32 extra minutes of time per day. That’s the amount of time the transit planning agency Metrolinx says will be lost if the $50 billion Big Move regional transportation plan is not completed within the next

25 years and commute times rise even further from 77 to 109 minutes as a result. “We asked people to tell us how traffic congestion is affecting them,” said Hunter. “They have showed us the true cost of the region’s antiquated and inadequate system.” Hunter said thousands of residents took part in the exercise, including 15,000 visitors to campaign website www.your32.com, as well as through social media. CivicAction took the feedback from residents and created a word cloud infograph of the most popular responses. According to the word cloud, which was unveiled at the press conference, the most popular responses include spending more time with family, catching up on sleep and enjoying a better

work experience. The human cost of congestion is something that has been missing during the debate for better transit, said Tory. “It’s really the humanity of the responses,” said Tory following the press conference. “People are talking about time being taken way from their family.” He said he was happy to see the prominence of the transit funding issue in the Ontario Liberal leadership race to replace Dalton McGuinty, but declined to endorse a specific candidate. To r y, w h o w a s o n c e the leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives also said CivicAction had plans to consult further with the main Ontario political parties, including Tim Hudak’s Tories, and had also held a group

event for municipal leaders, which was also attended by Toronto mayor Rob Ford. In addition to updating the progress of its Your32 media campaign, Hunter also announced the addition of three more members to CivicAction’s council of regional “champions”, private and public sector individuals who advocate for better transit throughout the GTHA. The list of 44 appointees also includes former chief city planner Paul Bedford, who was in attendance at the event. Bedford, who has travelled the GTHA speaking about improving transit said residents, when informed about the costs of congestion are willing to pay more to improve transit. “You go through the whole education process and get them to understand the choices and consequences and they’re more willing to pay. Because they can connect the big picture choices with their daily life,” said Bedford. TTC chair Karen Stintz was present briefly as an observer, but didn’t speak with reporters. Her press aide JP Boutros said Stintz decided to attend the media conference primarily in support of her friend Tory, though she supported the idea of dedicated transit funding. “We’ve been calling for a dedicated fund for transit since OneCity,” said Boutros referring to the citywide transit network first proposed last July.

City Hall

Budget funds allocated for parks and a library LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com

Staff photo/ERIN HATFIELD

Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks gives residents from Wards 13 and 14 a rundown of the 2013 budget at a Monday town hall hosted by himself and Councillor Sarah Doucette.

Residents provide budget input ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com Parkdale-High Park residents want more money spent on the TTC, parks and recreation and the city’s planning, councillors heard at a Tuesday ‘town hall’ meeting on the budget. Hosted by Parkdale-High Park councillors Sarah Doucette (Ward 13) and Gord Perks ( Ward 14), the goal was to get feedback from residents before the pair debated the budget at this week’s council meeting. “We need to know where you would like us to fight to put money back into the budget and where you think we should fight to take it out,” Doucette told the group of about 30 people. To begin, Perks gave residents an overview of the 2013 capital and operating budgets. This year’s proposed $9.4-billion operating budget includes a two per cent residential property tax increase. Perks said his main criticism of the 2013 budget is that it focuses too heavily on infrastructure, while services in the city continue to decline. “Essentially what this budget says is that we are going to put a 60 per cent down payment on capital expenditures,” Perks said, adding

he believes the city should make a smaller down payment, borrow the remainder of the money while interest rates are low and use the money saved in other areas such as protecting and enhancing services. Perks and Doucette explained the budget does include cuts to the number of firefighters the city has, parks and recreation staff and public health nurses. But perhaps more concerning than specific cuts, said Perks, is there is no money being put into improving services that make Toronto a good place to live. Before breaking residents into groups to discuss the budget, Perks asked them to keep in mind the things they hoped the city would get done this year. “What makes Toronto a great place to live and what do we want to protect?” Perks said. “How do service cuts effect our community... what is the long-term picture beyond 2013?” Following the half-hour visioning session, each of the five groups reported back to the councillors. Speaking on behalf of his group, retired teacher and Swansea resident Manfred Netzel said his group focused on the Toronto Transit Commission and had identified transit as its biggest priority. “Congestion is choking the city,” Netzel said.

His group discussed how the current funding formula for the TTC punishes the people who use public transit by forcing them to pay for it. A solution would be road tolls, which would generate the money to support public transit, Netzel’s group said. Parkdale resident Alicia Pang said her group discussed how they would like to see more money allocated to increasing the tree canopy in city parks as well as to hire youth workers to run programs in parks and at recreation centres. “We need more city planning (staff) because they are overworked, and planners are needed to keep an eye on development and manage density,” Pang said. High Park resident Sandra Van, speaking on behalf of the group of residents she brainstormed with, said there were lots of opinions thrown around the table. She said this budget means a slow death to services in the city. “Where is the long-term planning for the people of this city?” Van said. Van said while her group knows the police service is vital, they are OK with cuts to its budget – even if it means fewer officers – providing the money gets spent on the city planning division.

Property taxes, the arts and projects in Ward 18 were topics of discussion for a small, but attentive group of constituents who attended Davenport Councillor Ana Bailao’s 2013 Toronto city budget town hall, Wednesday, Jan. 9. Bailao outlined several initiatives in her ward during the consultation meeting at New Horizon’s Tower at the corner of Bloor and Dufferin streets, which attracted about a dozen people. Capital funds allocated for Ward 18 as part of the city’s capital projects include Carleton Park where new pathways to accommodate strollers will be installed, a new playground in Susan Tibaldi Park and the expansion of Perth/Dupont Library, Bailao noted. “There was talk of closing it, but the reality is we are working on expanding it. We’ve been able to put it on the map for the library board,” Bailao said. “The expansion will more than double the space and make it wheelchair accessible.” Bloor Street West along with its sidewalks will be resurfaced next year between Lansdowne Avenue and Bathurst Street. Trees will be freed from their cement boxes and planted in trenches instead, said Bailao. A 36,000-square foot West Queen West art hub will be built at Lisgar and Queen streets as part of The Edge condo development. The Toronto Media Arts Cluster will be comprised of seven nonprofit groups that specialize in film, photography and animation, and a 250-seat cinema, which will attract the smaller film festivals in the city, said Bailao. Maria Brum, a Bloor West and Dufferin streets-area resident, expressed her gratitude for the investments being made in Ward 18, however, she was curious to know if there would be any money for

such things as street lighting and sidewalk repairs. “There are sidewalks that don’t have ramps for seniors and strollers and those with disabilities,” she pointed out. Bailao explained that lighting is not considered a capital project, but rather smaller issues that “we’re working on.” “In terms of sidewalks, we had Dundas done last year and we’re having Bloor and Dufferin done this year,” she said. “On College, Dundas and Queen where we’ll have new streetcars, we’ll get new sidewalks because the new streetcars are wheelchair accessible. We’ll have to have ramps at every corner. All sidewalks will have to be accessible.” Brum asked if and when improvements to Lansdowne subway station will be made. It’s a station she said she avoids if she can. Bailao acknowledged that it needs an elevator and said while it is on the TTC’s capital project list, the station is not slated for redevelopment until about 2018. Ward 18 is home to many seniors, whom Brum said she worried wouldn’t be able to stay in their homes because of property tax increases. “Is there any support to help seniors stay in their homes?” she asked Bailao. The reality is, said Bailao, Toronto maintains the lowest property taxes within the Greater Toronto Area. “We have not kept up with inflation,” she said. That being said, there are two programs that cater to helping seniors remain in the homes. For those who make less than $36,000 annually, they can have their property tax increase waived, said the councillor. The other is for those who make less than $52,000. They can have their increase deferred until after their house is sold. “We want people to be able to stay in their homes,” said Bailao.
