Liberty New Street Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Notice of Completion The City of Toronto has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) that has recommended the construction of a new east-west road extending between Dufferin Street and Strachan Avenue in Liberty Village.The new road would be located on the north side of the GOTransit Lake Shore West rail corridor. Following consultation with the public, adjacent property owners, government agencies and Aboriginal communities, City Council has endorsed the preferred design identified in the EA, which consists of the following: • a new road with two traffic lanes (one in each direction) • a multi-use path for cyclists and pedestrians on the south side of the road • a sidewalk on the north side of the road • landscaping and civic improvements, including south-facing lookouts, where possible • two-way connections at all intersecting north-south streets, except for Strachan Avenue, which would be restricted to right-in right-out movements Construction of the new road is subject to available funding. Potential implementation of the new road could follow a phased approach. Opportunities for Review The study was carried out following the requirements for "Schedule C" projects under the Municipal Class EA process. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared and has been placed on the public record for a 30-day review period starting September 29, 2016 and ending on October 28, 2016. The ESR is available for review online at toronto.ca/involved/projects/libertynewst and in print at Toronto Public Library branches, as follows: • City Clerk's Office, City Hall, 100 Queen St. W., 416-392-8016 • Fort York, 190 Fort York Blvd, 416-393-6240 • Parkdale, 1303 Queen St. W., 416-393-7686

facebook Re: Mimico residents frustrated by delays to GO station accessibility upgrades, Sept. 29 I use Mimico station. I do not have accessibility issues, however, if I did - even if it were a temporary issue such as a broken leg - Mimico would be inaccessible. I would say that even able bodied people have “accessibility issues” with the station. There is only one entrance to the platform, which is at one end of the station. During the all-too-frequent occasions when we are made to suddenly switch from Track 4 to Track 1, it takes far too long to move everyone through the one set of stairs to the other platform. It is made particularly slow when people stand on either side of the stairs as hundreds of people file by, instead of getting off the stairs and standing out in the cold or rain or heat or whatever weather condition they find objectionable on that particular day. Mimico is an overused, under-serviced station. It would surprise me if weren’t the most low-tech, no-frills station in the entire GO System. The density around the station has grown exponentially, ridership has increased dramatically, yet train service has been cut to the station and improvements deferred. Putting off these necessary renovations for many more years makes no sense. Carolyn Buchanan

There has to be gold in here somewhere. That sentiment, or a variation of it, has been a mantra for political leaders and would-be leaders since amalgamation. Former premier Mike Harris and his municipal affairs minister Al Leach were the first to see the mythical El Dorado in the 416 area code when they amalgamated the city from seven municipal governments into one. Surely, pulling all those bureaucracies together into one would save hundreds of millions of dollars. When that didn’t pan out, provincial scolds like former Scarborough Tory MP Steve Gilchrist helpfully suggested that amalgamated Toronto might sell off Metro Hall. But that never made sense in the end, as the former seat of Metro government housed a sizeable part of the city’s bureaucracy. Privatize garbage collection city-wide? Maybe one day it’ll save the cash-strapped city millions, but Toronto had to break free of job protection language in collective agreements to even consider the idea. Now that’s happened, maybe contracting-out advocates will make one more attempt, and may pull it off. It’s hard to say whether Mayor John Tory will succeed at one of the most often-sought gold mines in the Toronto portfolio: that being Toronto Hydro. Certainly, many before him have tried and failed. Mel Lastman mused about selling it off. Jane Pitfield, running to unseat David Miller in 2006, gave it a go on the hustings, as did Karen Stintz in 2010 – and in neither case were they able to get near a mandate to do so.
i
Tory has been ruminating about a Hydro sale for months at least – or a species of Hydro sale, perhaps similar to the notion that Karen Stintz floated in 2010. Stintz argued that selling off about half of the city’s interest in the company would raise enough money to pay for the downtown relief subway line. She also suggested that leasing the company could work, if it weren’t possible to avoid the provincial taxes placed on the sale of more than 10 per cent of the asset. Either of these options might work well for Mayor Tory’s purposes. He, too, needs to finance a downtown relief line, and could also use some coin to build his scaled-back SmartTrack plan. A couple of weeks ago now, Tory turned his attention to the nuts-and-bolts workings of Toronto Hydro, in particular dealing with the multiple outages in highrise downtown Toronto condominium towers. The culprit, Tory noted first in a news release and then in front of reporters was aging infrastructure. And he made it very clear that he not only wanted to get some power flowing from the utility, but also some cash, which he said should not be at the cost of public accountability. This is going to be a delicate balance. It’s hard to imagine very much money coming out of a partial sale of a power grid already in dire need of upgrade and repair – particularly one that will offset the loss of part of the annual dividend Toronto gets, amounting to approximately $60 million. But it looks as though in the short term at least, we’re going to dip our pan into that river one more time.

GIVE BLOOD it ’s the ultimate renewal resource Meet Yvonne Ohara: she’s done it 800 times
Yvonne Ohara is in the exclusive 800 club. Recently, the Toronto woman became one of only a handful of Ontarians to donate blood an astounding 800 times. “Blood is the ultimate renewable resource,” said Ohara, 68, who works for Toronto police. “You don’t know when you, a family member or a friend may need some blood.” Every two weeks, Ohara heads to Canadian Blood Services (CBS) headquarters at 67 College St. to donate a bag of platelets, which she can donate 24 times a year. Ohara began donating blood at age 21. She said she was drawn to more specialized platelets and plasma donation after seeing other donors on different blood-drawing machines. “The nice thing about plasma and platelet donation is you’re essentially matched with (a recipient),” Ohara said. Platelets, a component required to make blood clot, is in need by people with diseases associated with prolonged bleeding, such as cancer and bone marrow therapy. Platelets have a shelf life of only five days. Plasma donations help people with some bleeding disorders, liver diseases, and in some operations. Blood donation is a family tradition for Ohara. Ohara’s father, Charles Overton, began taking her at age four to his blood-donation appointments, including at the former Hospital for Sick Children, which is now CBS headquarters where Ohara donates. Overton donated 99 times until his age made him ineligible.
Benjamin Priebe/METROland Yvonne Ohara celebrates her 800th blood donation with Canadian Blood Services. Ohara has been donating for 47 years.
WHo doeS My donation HelP?
Can you donate?
Heart surgery: up to 5 donors Cancer treatment: up to 5 donors leukemia: up to 8 donors per week Car crash: up to 50 donors
yes, if you’re 17 or older, in good general health, and weigh more than 110 pounds
you are not eligible to donate if: you have had a tattoo or piercing in the past six months you have had a dental cleaning or filling in the past 24 hours or dental surgery in the past 72 hours
you have been pregnant or given birth in the past six months you have spent three months or more cumulatively in the u.K. you take prescription medications
Across Canada, CBS must collect 17,000 units of blood every week. Since blood products have a limited shelf life, demand is constant. “Roughly every minute, every day, someone in Canada needs blood,” CBS stated. Blood and blood components are used to treat a number of injuries and illnesses, including various forms of cancer, hip and joint conditions, transplants, traumas, such as car accidents, blood disorders, and many others.
This year, CBS has revised its donation eligibility requirements. Health Canada approved CBS’s request to reduce the blood-donation waiting period for men who have sex with men from five years to one year. CBS tests blood donations for syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV-1 and 2, Human T-Cell lymphotropic virus HTLV-I and II and West Nile Virus. CBS also revised its donation eligibility requirements to mitigate the risk, which it pegs at one in 8.3 million, of the Zika virus entering the Canadian blood system. Anyone who has traveled outside of Canada, the continental United States and Europe is now ineligible to give blood for 21 days after their return. The Zika virus lasts three to five days in the blood, and clears the body within 21 days, CBS stated. Tamara Shephard tshephard@insidetoronto.com

Across the country, less than four per cent of eligible Canadians donate blood, CBS reported. One in 60 Canadians donate, despite the fact one in two is eligible. Meanwhile, half of Canadians report they or a family member have required blood or blood components for surgery or medical treatment, CBS stated. Type O negative blood is in highest demand. It can be used in emergency situations on anyone when there is no time to test a patient’s blood. People with Type O
@InsideTOnews
negative blood are considered universal donors. One person may donate whole blood up to six times a year, improving the lives of as many as 18 people, CBS stated. The entire process takes just over an hour. The standard blood donation is approximately 450 millilitres, slightly less than half a litre or two cups. An average adult’s body contains about five litres of blood.
villager | insidetoronto.com
Michael Scharlemann, Ohara’s husband, has donated blood 78 times. He made a stem cell donation after being notified he was a match on the national unrelated bone marrow registry. “The trick is to get donors younger, in high school and in college,” Ohara said. “Make it a family tradition. Go with your parents or friends to a mobile clinic at the mall.”
