A budding transit entrepreneur is banking on enough interest to fund a privately-run bus route catered to disgruntled Liberty Village transit commuters. Brett Chang, co-founder of Line Six – named after hip-hop megastar Drake’s moniker for Toronto – said a lack of reliable TTC options in the neighbourhood make it ideal to launch a crowd-funded bus service, the Liberty Village Express (LVE), which will begin offering morning rush-hour trips to Union Station – if there’s sufficient demand.

Chang, who came up with the idea along with his Line Six partner Taylor Scollon, said he was inspired by alternative transit services in cities like San Francisco. He hopes to launch the service on an interim basis starting Monday, Oct. 6 until Friday, Oct. 10. “We want to provide the opposite of what people are experiencing right now in terms of transit, and that’s a comfortable service which is also reliable,” said Chang, in a recent interview. To get LVE up and running, Line Six is looking to raise $2,500 via an online donations >>>TTC, page 2

After 125 years on the corner of Queen Street West and Gladstone Avenue, the iconic Gladstone Hotel has undergone a major transformation from its nearly-condemned state to a must see in the West Queen West area. Although it’s come a long way, Christina Zeidler, the hotel’s current owner, made sure it never lost its soul. “I felt very responsible for

that and I’m a custodian for the hotel in that way because it really has a soul,” Zeidler said. “I think that was the most amazing thing from this transformation that it kept its soul.” To honour the occasion, the hotel is hosting a Then, Now and Next three-storey art exhibition and will have a plaque unveiling ceremony today (Thursday) at 7 p.m. “The new plaque updates >>>LIVE, page 15

Anyone who donates a minimum of $25 will reserve a seat for every day of the week on a chartered mini-coach bus which will be procured by Line Six. “All we’re doing is organizing these groups and then going to a chartered bus company to book and run the bus,” said Chang. “We don’t see ourselves as any different from a school group, or organizing a trip to a Blue Jays game or a church group organizing a bus to go to Niagara Falls.” If not enough money is raised, anyone who already contributed will get a full refund, promised Chang.

Hidden laneway on CAMH property offers solution to cyclists HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com In the southwest corner of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), next to an alleyway and behind a double-trunked tree, is a gate that could be the key to keeping cyclists off busy Queen Street, said a Cycle Toronto representative. On the CAMH property, south of White Squirrel Way, is a rarely locked hidden gate that opens to a laneway. “Right now to get through the CAMH campus, you have to know where the gap exists and where it leads,” said Anthony Hilliard, a Cycle Toronto Ward 19 captain. “There’s a fence and a tiny little opening by the fence that’s hidden by a tree in the laneway. That’s it.” Hilliard and Daniel Egan, the City of Toronto’s manager of Cycling Infrastructure and Programs, have been speaking with CAMH executives about making the laneway part of Toronto’s cycling infrastructure, linking CAMH, Adelaide and Bathurst streets. The idea works well with CAMH’s plan to be open to the surrounding community, said Janet Mawhinney,

director of community engagement at CAMH. “Because the neighbourhood has grown and changed around us, and we’ve grown up and changed in tandem, one of the big things we’re looking for is to make it feel a little bit more like part of the village neighbourhood,” Mawhinney said. “The idea is to have as many flowthroughs as possible for pedestrians and cyclists.” The new path would be a way for cyclists to escape the potential dangers of Queen Street, “a missing link” to a cycling route that would be unlike any connection Toronto has ever had, Hilliard said. Sharon Zelinski who works at

CAMH and bikes to work, weather permitting, said she is an avid user of the hidden laneway. “It’s a great little side path, any stretch where you can get off a major road is a good stretch,” Zelinski said. “The only thing, for me, is that I never used it until someone pointed it out.” According to Zelinski, whose office window looks out onto the back laneway of the campus, a lot of pedestrians and people walk their dogs there, but more cyclists would likely use the path if there was signage. “Signs should be displayed more visibly to make it clear cyclists are permitted to come through the gate.

Maybe make the city designate it as a proper bike path.” But the idea of making the gate and laneway part of Toronto’s cycling infrastructure open is still in its conceptual phase. “We have to develop a concept we can bring back to CAMH,” Egan said. “They seem open to the idea, but don’t seem to be in a position where they can make a commitment until they know what the proposal is.” So far, the progress on the concept has been a slow-moving one, but Hilliard said he plans to continue to work with CAMH and the city to keep it at the top of their minds. Egan said it’s not a priority.

“We have a million other projects with a higher priority in the cue ahead of this so it’s something we started looking at,” Egan said. “When we have more detailed approach, we’ll start talking to the community about it, but it probably won’t happen until next year.” There are two potential obstacles when it comes to bringing the bike path vision to life, Hilliard said. The first is a multi-phase redevelopment, slated to begin in 2019, that will include two new hospital buildings and mixed-use community buildings that will have a combination of retail, office and residential space. The construction may be dangerous to cyclists. The second obstacle is the weekly garbage pickup at a condo on Sudbury Street, near the gateway that could also be potentially dangerous for cyclists according to the city. However, Hilliard believes cyclists are already aware of such possibilities in different portions of the city and that this section will be no different.

Spreading awareness of oil pipeline activity needs to be a priority

Write us

t travels underground right across Toronto, beside busy roads, near the backyards of homes and an elementary school, has been around for almost 40 years and yet many residents have no idea it even exists. However, all that is quickly changing for the Enbridge oil pipeline known as Line 9. Environmental groups are concerned with a federal decision earlier this year to allow bitumen oil, known as tar sands oil, to be pumped through the pipeline. In today’s edition, residents can learn more about Line 9. Environmentalists say the bitumen oil is heavier than the light crude oil Line 9 presently carries, and the consequences of a spill due to a breakage in the line could be dire, especially since the line crosses Humber, Don and Rouge our view the rivers. The environmental concerns Torontonians are heightened by the age of the which was built in 1976, and must be part line, by the fact that bitumen oil is of planning considered more corrosive than light crude. Enbridge, however, rejects the notion that bitumen oil will be flowing through Line 9. A spokesman said light crude will be the bulk of what Line 9 carries as the refineries that take the oil are not “heavy” refineries. Whether the capability of those refineries changes to deal with bitumen in the future remains to be seen. As part of the approval by the National Energy Board (NEB) to allow bitumen oil through the pipeline, Enbridge is carrying out work related to pipeline integrity and the creation of an emergency response plan. And it’s in this emergency plan that Toronto residents need to be especially involved. Toronto councillor David Shiner said the City of Toronto is working with Enbridge on emergency response plans, but much of what needs to be done is under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Enbridge has filed a plan with the NEB and says it is waiting for a response before making the details public. When those details become public, residents must be given numerous opportunities for input on the emergency response plan. Given the thousands of homes and roadways located close to Line 9, residents’ awareness of Line 9 and an understanding of what to do in an emergency must become a priority for Enbridge, the federal government and Toronto.

Fringe mayoral candidates battle to bring issues forward We are a free country – or at least a free enough country to allow anyone with citizenship, some cash and a birth certificate showing they’re out of short-pants to run for public office. When it comes to actually holding that office... well, we’re not quite free enough to let just anybody do that. Fame, money – even infamy, is a prerequisite. The mayor’s city-councillor brother Doug Ford, who entered the mayoral race last weekend with a hasty Saturday afternoon canvass and a cobbled-together platform, was polling 23 per cent before he even cleared his throat for his first scheduled debate Tuesday. John Tory and Olivia Chow both rode into the campaign with public CVs sufficiently massive to attract money with an almost gravitational force. Those other candidates? The 60-odd who registered to run in the municipal election for the city’s top job?

david nickle the city Nobody wants to hear from them. Ari Goldkind, a criminal lawyer with a progressive platform and a genially aggressive style, has been complaining for months about the fact that debate organizers won’t invite him to the table to test his ideas against Chow’s and Tory’s and Ford’s. On Monday night, the Forum poll finally found he charted. Morgan Baskin, an articulate young community activist, has been running a youth-oriented campaign from the fringes, but rarely had a chance to debate issues. There are others – dozens – and each and every one of them, I suspect, will be a little miffed that I didn’t name check them in this column. To those, I offer no apology: absent ideas or coherent expression of some, a candidate deserves

every inch of the fringe they inhabit. But candidates like Goldkind and Baskin are a different matter. Both are attempting to inject reasonable and thoughtful alternatives into the debate, all while wearing appropriate business attire (something by no means a given among the fringe candidates). They don’t have CVs (at least not the kind that get you elected mayor), they aren’t famous... aren’t even infamous. But they seem like they have a plan. It’s kind of sad in one way, seeing these welldesigned campaigns and earnest candidates ignored. In another way, it’s frustrating to watch these two candidates seeming to do nothing so much as squander their time in the limelight. It’s tough to blame debate organizers to want to limit the roster to those candidates who have a shot at victory.

It’s tough to blame voters who turn away from the well-dressed stranger on the street, when there’s so much at stake for the whole city, in choosing between seasoned and frankly electable political leaders. The fact is that the way our political season is structured, it’s very difficult in our imperfectly free country for intelligent and useful ideas to work their way up from the bottom. That’s not to say they can’t, but it’s a tough row to hoe, having to sell both one’s controversial notions and one’s own untested credibility at a time when all eyes are looking elsewhere. Here’s hoping that Goldkind and Baskin and other fringe candidates dreaming impossible dreams in October find some energy for advocacy and outreach between November and the next election.

Construction worker builds on photography hobby HILARY CATON hcatong@insidetoronto.com

riginally from Ireland, construction worker Gary Cummins always liked photography, but it didn’t become his passion until he moved to Toronto four years ago. “It’s gone from just clicking to a very involved hobby. I just love it,” Cummins said. “I have Toronto to thank for my leap.” The Parkdale resident was chosen as one of the Top 50 finalists for the fourth annual My Waterfront Photo Exhibit created by the Waterfront Business Improvement Area (BIA) through its My Waterfront Photo Contest. There were 300 submissions this year showcasing a diverse collection of photos of landscapes, festivals, dining and family fun. “The My Waterfront Photo Exhibit is an opportunity for amateur photographers to showcase their work in a public forum and highlight some of the incredible sights along Toronto’s waterfront,”

said Carol Jolly, executive director of the Waterfront BIA, in a press release. The artwork of all 50 finalists will be on display from today to Nov. 2 in Queen’s Quay Terminal, 207 Queens Quay W. Cummins, a Parkdale resident for just more than a year, will have his photograph printed on a 24x36 poster that will be displayed at the Queen’s Quay Terminal. “To be a finalist is great,” Cummins said. “Any time I get good news it’s a little lift for the soul, you know?” He submitted five photos and three were chosen, one of Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion on Lake Shore Boulevard and two at Ireland Park at the foot of Bathurst Street. All photos were judged on overall impact, originality, artistic merit, composition and technical excellence. Cummins began his foray into photography by Googling information, then he began looking at YouTube tutorials and then branched off into learning tech-

niques from books. “I really got into it and it sort of excelled into this huge thing,” Cummins said. “It’s something I absorbed and kept learning.” This is the third time he’s entered and the second time he’s been chosen as a finalist. The first time he entered was in 2012 – the photo was of the

Toronto skyline taken from the Toronto Islands in January with a lifeguard post in the foreground. This year’s Sunnyside Pavilion photo was shot last summer on a “fluffy cloud day” shortly after he moved to Parkdale, Cummins said. “Those are my favourite shooting days because I can get them to stretch throughout the shot.

Images can be really flat on a clear day,” he said. “I’m a big fan of long exposures and that photo is a long exposure.” He used an infrared filter to take the shot and it is originally comprised of several photos he used to create the panoramic shot. According to Cummins, although his photographs have been recognized he doesn’t plan to pursue any further. “It will always be a hobby, it’s not something that I’ve ventured fully into. Once it becomes your job it can be a bit of a torment,” Cummins said. “I’m just so happy I was given the chance to do this. It’s just so nice to be recognized and have people like my photos enough to consider it.” The exhibit launches tomorrow with an artist preview gala from 6 to 9 p.m. in Queen’s Quay Terminal, where attendees can vote in the People’s Choice Award.

Montreal, Que. The pipeline enters Etobicoke, south of Eglinton Avenue West from Mississauga, heading north alongside a portion of Hwy. 401. It then turns east, north of Finch Avenue, heading eastbound through North York and Scarborough. As it leaves Scarborough’s eastern border it travels through Rouge Park lands. Enbridge spokesperson Graham White said Line 9 has been misrepresented by those opposed to it, and it is not a tar sands oil pipeline. “Line 9 will carry primarily light oil as it did prior to the planned reversal. The destination refineries are ‘light’ refineries and do not have significant capability to refine heavy products like bitumen oil,” he said. However, Enbridge has permitted shippers to transport different oil blends, which includes heavier grades such as bitumen. The 38-year-old pipeline could start transporting the heavier grade bitumen as early as December, say some environmental groups. Sa b r i n a Bow m a n , o f Environmental Defence, is skeptical of Enbridge’s assertion that the line will pump mainly light oil. “With the NEB approval they can pump as much of the tar sands oil as they want and we wouldn’t know,” she said. Since the NEB approval, a series of integrity digs on the pipeline have been taking place to help support the planned capacity increase, said White, with one worksite being at G. Ross Lord Dam and Park in North York. Environmental groups cite an Enbridge spill that

saw 3.3 million litres of oil go into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River on July 25, 2010 as cause for concern. That spill is estimated to have cost Enbridge more than $1 billion and is reportedly the largest on-land oil spill in U.S. history according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Last December, in light of the growing concerns, Toronto City Council requested Enbridge have an emergency response strategy in place for Toronto in order to minimize the impact of any potential spill. Wa rd 2 4 W i l l ow d a l e Councillor David Shiner has been a part of the city effort to implement safety emergency response plans. At the moment, he said there are no such plans in place in the Greater Toronto Area. “We are trying to make sure Enbridge can make the line as safe as it possibly can make it,” Shiner said. “But the city can only do so much since it’s an issue that needs to be handled at the federal level. The federal government gave permission, but hasn’t pressured Enbridge, as much as the City of Toronto has done to implement safety procedures. Right now the city doesn’t have the capacity to respond to a disaster.” Enbridge filed an Emergency Response Action Plan this past July with the NEB and is waiting for feedback before releasing details about it later this October. Having spoken to communities along Line 9, Environmental Defence said most residents they contacted were unaware of the pipeline and the possibility of it carrying tar sands oil. While White said that between May 2012 and July

OLIVIA CHOW PROFILE: touting realistic and immediate solutions EDITOR’S NOTE: This is one in a series of profiles on the leading contenders to be Toronto’s next mayor MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Olivia Chow is talking about Rob Ford and tapping her foot on stones around the murky koi pond in her small backyard garden, encouraging the fish to come up. The former New Democratic Party MP has said most Torontonians share her “progressive values.” But if that’s true, she’s asked, why did so many vote for the “gravy train”-fighting Ford in 2010? There was an “obsession” in the city then about the Ford campaign’s “slick one-liners” and the kinds of cuts to city government that could be made, she conceded. “There’s a lot of buyer remorse, right? People who say, ‘Wow, he sold us a good line, and he totally disappointed us.’” Jo h n To r y, w i t h h i s

SmartTrack rail plan, is no different, said Chow, 57, who, at home during an unexpected lull in the campaign, seemed freer to smile and laugh than she does at debates. Like Ford before him, Tory is “selling something that’s not realistic, not designed by experts, and between Ford and Tory’s policies they will leave a whole lot of people behind.” The ailing Ford expanded past pledges to build subways before he dropped out of the mayor’s race and was replaced as candidate by his brother and former campaign manager Doug Ford. “Nothing they say is about now, how your life can be improved now. How bus services can be improved now.” But while Tory declares his transit plan to be “bold,” Chow’s – build approved and funded light-rail lines, pay to plan a downtown relief subway line, add more buses – was described by one of her political allies, Joe Mihevc, as reasonable and “modest.”

Chow objected that the relief line, “a game-changer for the city” and long overdue, is not modest, but as for Tory, “he copied the provincial plan (for electrification of GO rail lines), and just put a slogan on it. How’s that bold?” Tory’s “faith-based transit scheme,” she said, asks Toronto’s voters to “park your rationality” as they did with a subway-promising Ford four years ago. “We’re still paying for it. We should not do it again.” Tory and the Fords also support extending BloorDanforth Subway further into Scarborough. That extension would take years longer, have fewer stops, and cost taxpayers $1 billion more than the fully-funded and approved light-rail line Chow would build instead. But the subway, also the choice of provincial politicians, is undeniably popular in Scarborough, where Chow has been running a distant third. Has her position cost her crucial votes? “You know, I have to tell

the truth; that’s who I am,” she responded, looking a bit less comfortable. “I also have the courage to say no to an investment that doesn’t make sense.” Chow was a Toronto councillor from 1991 to 2005. Her husband and council colleague Jack Layton had his own mayoral run – an unsuccessful one – before becoming a New Democrat MP. Chow was elected an MP herself in Trinity-Spadina in 2006, five years before Layton, by then federal NDP leader, won the party unprecedented Official Opposition status in 2011 but died of cancer a few months later. Chow, who resigned to run for mayor in March, is regularly attacked on Twitter by right-wingers opposing her “far-left socialism.” She seemed more upset that Tory, who formerly led Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives, has been keen to attach the NDP label to her during debates. “He knows full well that the municipal government

porting property tax increases of 1.8 per cent. “No different than what Rob Ford did in the last couple of years,” she added. “I was a New Democrat, Mel Lastman is a Conservative. I was appointed to the budget committee, police board and as children and youth advocate,” Chow said. “So people work together. It’s only people like Mr. Tory who comes in and doesn’t have (municipal) experience and tries to say party politics matter. They don’t.” She also ruled out any chance of a Doug Ford victory. “His brother (Rob) is a very colourful person, right? But if you think carefully about Rob Ford’s policies, they’re terrible,” said Chow, adding – though he hadn’t appeared yet in debates and his campaign website had not opened – that Doug Ford’s positions seem identical to the mayor’s.

doesn’t have parties. You work across the aisle. And I’ve done that for 14 years (on council),” she said, charging Tory was “scaremongering” – trying to paint her as a tax-andspend politician, when her record during Mel Lastman’s six years as mayor is of sup-

Project White Squirrel targets drinking in Trinity Bellwoods 14 Division bike unit patrolled park handing out cautions, pamphlets and tickets HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com Thanks to Project White Squirrel, users of Trinity Bellwoods Park know it’s against the law to drink in a public park without a permit. Spearheaded by Toronto police’s 14 Division, the bike unit patrolled the Queen and Shaw streets park from early May to Sept. 1, handing out 1,625 verbal cautions along with pamphlets on park etiquette and 67 provincial offence notices at $125 each, a far cry from a City of Toronto bylaw ticket, which costs $360. “I think people genuinely thought they weren’t doing anything wrong,” said Staff Sgt. James Hogan of 14 Division. “But with 1,000 people drinking in the park, a handful of them are going to become a problem and the experience gets ruined for everyone.” The project came about after a chaotic 2013 summer that left nearby residents annoyed and upset about the behaviour of parkgoers and overall disrespect for the area, Hogan said. Even City of Toronto park staff was at their wits end about the damage, vandalism and litter left behind after a weekend of illegal drinking in the park, he said. “We had people riding motorcycles through here drunk, bringing in huge speakers, people urinating on people’s houses late at night, breaking things,” Hogan said. “It became a gong-show.” So this year, 14 Division had four officers designated

to patrol the parks, and encouraged other offi cers to pass through as well, not only to educate the public, but be proactive to stop the disorderly behaviour. According to Carolyn Wong, a volunteer with Friends of Trinity-Bellwoods Park, residents were always complaining about disrespectful park users. “It was getting out of hand because it was party central.” said Wong, who also manages the farmers’ market in the park. “There are huge crowds of partyers that don’t shut down at 11 p.m. They don’t care, they don’t live in the houses, a lot of them don’t even live in the area, it’s a destination for them.” NOT JUST PARTYING It wasn’t just young people picnicking and partying out on the lawn, Wong said. “It’s the baseball leagues too because as soon as spring hits you got baseball there almost every day of the week and they play and drink and then they hang out after and they drink,” Wong said. “There have been some issues with that for sure.” But with the added police presence this summer, Wong said she definitely noticed a difference in behaviour in comparison to last year. “I think, overall, there wasn’t as much drinking openly in the park because word got around that you’re going to get ticketed,” she said. “A n d I ’ve s e e n t h e m (police) a few times talking to people and letting them know it’s against the law to drink in a public space. It

wasn’t reduced 100 per cent, but there was a big difference.” According to Hogan, police tried to shift the culture and dispel the “urban myth” that Trinity Bellwoods Park is a rule-free zone and it’s OK to drink there. He’s not sure why the myth even exists, but said he’s not surprised the surrounding community uses the park as their own personal space. “I think it’s just a sign of the development in the area” Hogan said. “You’ve got all the condos in Liberty Village and a lot of places are small and don’t have backyards, or no green space, so people look at it and say ‘Hey, that’s my backyard.’” Wong agreed, but there’s always a line. “If everyone was just considerate and had respect for the area we wouldn’t have a huge issue,” she said. “There’s good people out there (who are respectful and considerate), but there’s always a handful of bad ones.” Hogan said he spoke to about 100 people during his patrols this summer and the majority were cooperative, receptive and even thanked him. He said it’s really all about being mindful of the people around you. “You come down here for an afternoon, but there’s people that live near here all the time and everyday there’s somebody in front of their house. But on the other hand, people have every right to use the park,” Hogan said. “So there’s a bit of compromise required on everyone’s part.”

Live music, art exhibits held regularly at the Gladstone >>>from page 1 some of the original information and places the Gladstone in the broader context of the history of Parkdale and the surrounding neighbourhood,” said Kaitlin Wainwright, the plaques and markers program coordinator at Heritage Toronto. It was originally built in 1889 by architect G.M. Miller with rough cut red stone and brick with dramatic arches over windows and entrances, which remain intact, but to restore

the building to its former glory was no easy task. Zeidler took over the hotel in 2003 and admits it was a bit of dive back then. “There’s no other way to describe it,” she said. “The rooms in the hotel were in such horrible shape, people were there and were paying their rent, but the building hadn’t been looked after in years.” Zeidler started cleaning up the

spaces one by one and quickly realized the hotel was in worse shape than she initially thought. all new wiring The electrical wiring in the entire hotel needed to be completely changed and she had a boiler crack in half because it was so rotted. She was determined to restore the hotel back to the thriving community hub it once was; and is with events,

live music, and art exhibits taking over the hotel on a daily basis. “It’s very much accessible to the community now and to travellers from all over. Now it’s a much happier place and more connected to the community,” Zeidler said. For more information about the plaque unveiling, visit http://bit. ly/1rhS3n6

Avoiding injuries in seniors Tips for fall from Toronto Central CCAC

As the last days of summer fade and the coolness in the air becomes the norm, so does concern for those who are frail, have mobility challenges or are otherwise vulnerable. Older adults often welcome the arrival of fall with both happiness that the hot weather has passed and trepidation about what’s to come. Cooler temperatures herald many realities that may cause physical stress to an elderly person. These include the beginnings of frost, and later on, snow and ice. The prospect of managing on a slippery surface such as a sidewalk or stairs can be daunting for someone who is physically fragile. The logistics alone of navigating a walker or using a cane without slipping is one that can cause much anxiety in seniors. For those who may be physically compromised, the prospect of suffering a fall, whether it’s indoors or outside, is a very real fear. The Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) has a team of Care Coordinators who work with a large number of elderly clients. Through working with the elderly, the CCAC has learned some simple but effective tips to help their clients and other seniors to keep safe from injuries caused by falls.

Here are some proven strategies for the elderly in preventing unexpected slips and falls:

INDOOR • Make sure to always have one hand free in order to hold the handrail – also consider putting handrails on both sides of the stairs • Proper indoor lighting is key to reducing falls – brightly lit household areas will reduce the incidences of unexpected slips • Take one step at a time making sure your foot is firmly planted on the stairs before putting your weight on it • Always wear shoes or slippers with non-slip soles • Ensure that indoor stairs have appropriate treads or non-slip runners • Keep electrical cords out of the way by attaching them to walls and under carpets, in order to reduce the possibility of trips and falls

OUTDOOR • Newly-fallen leaves pose a risk for seniors by providing a slippery surface that makes the area prime for falls. Have leaves raked (by a support worker, neighbour or loved one) and cleared as soon as they appear • Monitor the weather and be prepared: Have a plan in place to spread ice salt to steps and walkways before venturing outdoors on a frosty morning • Cracked or uneven stairs or walkways are unsafe for seniors. Check for any bumps and have them repaired • Ensure that sturdy handrails are installed on both sides of outdoor stairs For more information about supports and community services for seniors, contact the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) at (416) 506-9888

Fort York unveils new visitor centre HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com Designed to mirror the original lake bluff that contributed to Fort York’s natural defences from the 1790s to the 1880s, the new 27,400 square-foot Fort York Visitor Centre was made to honour the past. “We resolved to design a building that was more like a piece of landscape architecture and together with the research of the historic evolution of the site, we found this was the original line of Lake Ontario,” said Jonathan Kearns, one of the lead architects who designed the visitor centre. “It was featured very strongly in the battle of 1813 when the fort was attacked by the Americans and was blown up by the British in their retreat, so we tried to remind people of the history.” Located in the concrete canopy of the Gardiner Expressway, the new $18-mil-

lion Fort York Visitor Centre officially opened Friday, Sept. 19. The opening ceremonies included a speech by Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly, Elder Garry Sault from the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation and Ontario Lt.-Gov. of David C. Onley. T h e n e w c e n t re w a s designed by Patkau Architects Inc. of Vancouver and Kearns Mancini Architects Inc. of Toronto – the pair’s design was selected in an international competition in 2009. The 900-foot linear building has large rusted steel panels designed to mimic the natural lake escarpment that sat there two centuries ago when it was initially located on the original shoreline of Lake Ontario. Now 500 metres from the shoreline, the new visitor centre boasts information services, exhibition galleries, spaces for meetings and a café. Administrative offices will also be in the centre after

it’s relocated from Fort York’s historic structures. Visitors are also able to walk on the roof, once fully completed, and look out onto Fort York Boulevard as if they themselves were in a trench during a battle in the 1800s, Kearns said. There will be five new exhibits available for the public to check see upon entering from Fort York Boulevard including: Charles

Capture the Fall Contest

Patcher’s 1812: The Art of War. This exhibit has 14 donated works from the Toronto artist’s collection, which has a pop art perspective on conflict. There’s also The Great War - in Your Cellar, Closet or Storage Locker. Located in the main lobby of the centre, this exhibit was created to help Torontonians better understand their connection to the war, according

to Wayne Reeves, the chief curator of museums and heritage services for the City of Toronto. “We’ve brought out some of the most typical objects, medals, badges, papers, photographs that will help visitors understand their heirlooms,” he said. Outfitted for War: Canadian Uniforms and Weapons of the First World War, which features rare, never-before-seen objects on display from the city’s artefact collection, is located in ‘The Vault’ area. “In The Vault we took a different approach and took things that were in storage for decades,” Reeves said. “And what’s fantastic is they are not just garments, we actually know the people who used them during the First World War, so we tried to connect those objects with stories.” As visitors walk through the centre they’ll be able to travel through the time tunnel, an exhibit created by

Nestor Kruger that leads to the entrance to Fort York. It’s a 70-metre-long mixed media installation that transforms Woodrow Wilson’s iconic 1918 Fourteen Points speech to the U.S Congress into a geometric pattern. It serves as the backdrop to the narration of a card game meant to represent a way to outwit the devil, according to Russian folktales. “It’s an immersive multimedia experience with floorto-ceiling audio and visuals,” Kearns said. “When you come out of the tunnel you’re now equipped with the background knowledge, which makes that experience of the fort itself a completely richer, more exciting experience than it would otherwise be.” Admission to the centre is $9 for adults, $5.50 for seniors and youth and 25 cents for children (six to 12).
