Federal riding changes proposed for Scarborough MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Scarborough stands to gain half an MP. Pickering-Scarborough East, the only Toronto riding straddling a municipal boundary, should be broken up, the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission announced this week.

Proposed in its place is Scarborough East, a district that would stretch from Lake Ontario up to Steeles Avenue but wouldn’t cross the Rouge River into Pickering.

The proposal, one of many the commission tabled this week so Ontario can add 15 new House of Commons seats, could one day force some local politicians to choose one side of the Toronto-Pickering boundary.

Corneliu Chisu, the current Pickering-Scarborough East MP said he isn’t worried about that, but does object to one thing about the proposed riding, its name.

He w a n t s i t t o b e c a l l e d Scarborough-Rouge Park.

“I don’t think there will be any problem with that,” said Chisu, a first-term Conservative who is enthusiastic about the promised creation of Canada’s first national urban park in the Rouge Valley.

“Rouge Park is a unique enterprise in North America, if not the world,” so the name of a riding beside the park should reflect something so important, he said this week.

Chisu acknowledged he would face a difficult decision running for re-election after the ridings are redrawn. He has been a resident of its Scarborough side for 30 years, however, and implied that would influence his choice, though his

Proposed federal riding boundary changes aim to get rid of the PickeringScarborough East riding, which stadled a municipal border, and give Scarborough the six full ridings shown on this map.

party has a say in it too.

Meanwhile, Chisu said, “I’m trying to do my best in both municipalities,” with a Pickering constituency office “exactly centrally situated in the riding.”

His provincial counterpart Tracy MacCharles, living in Pickering but born and raised in Scarborough, was also contemplating what may be an inevitable choice if the riding splits.

“Obviously, I can’t be in both. Part of me wishes that I could.”

When it comes to reshaping ridings, Ontario has lately followed the

federal government’s lead.

“I’m very fond of the riding the way it is now,” said MacCharles, a Liberal MPP who said some constituents asked her during last year’s election campaign if a politician could serve people in both Pickering and Scarborough.

“I feel well-equipped to do that,” said MacCharles. “People who live in Scarborough East do a lot of living in Pickering and vice versa.”

She said the final decision on riding boundaries won’t be known until December and the next pro-

vincial contest may well be fought in the existing ridingss.

Residents have chances to offer comments on the proposals at 10 a.m., Nov. 14 at the North York Civic Centre and at 11:30 a.m. Nov. 15 at Metro Hall.

If created as the commission wants, Scarborough East would take part of the ScarboroughRouge River riding, including the new subdivisions in Morningside Heights, Malvern east of Nielson Road, Highland Creek Village and Port Union.

Replacing the rest of ScarboroughRouge River would be a new riding called Scarborough North, which includes the area from Steeles to Hwy. 401 and from Midland Avenue to Nielson Road as far north as a hydro corridor, and then further east to Staines Road.

Scarborough-Rouge River’s MP is another rookie, New Democrat Rathika Sitsabaiesan. She couldn’t be reached for comment this week.

Other changes for Scarborough ridings were relatively minor.

Scarborough Southwest, for example, would lose Ionview, a neighbourhood north of Eglinton Avenue, but instead of ending at Bellamy Road would go further east to Markham Road.

Scarborough-Guildwood MP John McKay, a veteran Liberal, noted his riding boundaries have shifted west over the years and changes would continue to move them a little further from his house.

The proposals for ScarboroughGuildwood, however, “have a logic to them that makes sense to me” and he can’t see a reason to oppose them, he said.

McKay said he was glad to see Scarborough gets a full riding

in place of a hybrid PickeringScarborough East, an arrangement he said he opposed, as did the ratepayer association in his Centennial neighbourhood.

“It wasn’t something that was ever going to work,” said McKay, because Scarborough and Pickering are two distinct communities with their own interests.

A different question is how changes could eventually affect the balance of power at Toronto Council.

Since 2000, the city has had 44 councillors, two for each federal and provincial riding. The boundaries basically match, except for the Scarborough East council seats held

by Ron Moeser and Paul Ainslie.

Redistribution of ridings would create an entirely new district in Mid-Town Toronto, Mount Pleasant, which presumably would get two council representatives along with the other 24 Toronto ridings. That adds up to 50 ward councillors.

But Mayor Rob Ford campaigned in 2010 on a platform of cutting the number of council seats in half, from 44 to 22, arguing councillors should be able to work as hard as MPs and MPPs do by handling districts just as large.

That would mean reducing the number of council seats - not including the mayor’s - to 25, setting up a possible municipal election showdown in 2014 between incumbent councillors of each riding who would battle each other as well as challengers for remaining seats. Ford hasn’t said much since his 2010 election about this plan and ScarboroughAgincourt Councillor Norm Kelly, one of his supporters, said changing the number of councillors would be up to the province.

Man, 24, killed in single-vehicle crash on Marilake Drive A 24-year-old man was killed after he was ejected from a vehicle following a crash on Saturday.

Police said the man was driving a Toyota Celica north on Marilake Drive, near Midland Avenue and Hwy. 401, when he lost control and struck an unoccupied parked vehicle around 11:50 p.m.

He was taken to hospital where he later died.

n Danzig meeting

Six weeks after a mass shooting in a Danzig Street townhouse complex, the gulf between residents and Toronto Police in the area is still wide, says John McKay. The Scarborough-Guildwood MP hosted a meeting Saturday

he said included frank exchanges between police officers and Danzig residents.

McKay said he’s encouraged to see police from 43 Division and tenants at the Toronto Community Housing complex at Morningside Avenue are working on their relationship, partly through a new group, Putting Children and Families First.

“Now the police say, ‘Hi’,” the Liberal MP said residents reported

on Saturday, but added false perceptions about the complex residents and police persist on both sides.

“The attitudes are impossible to get past unless you talk.”

Two people were killed and nearly two dozen wounded when shots were fired at the townhouses July 16 during a block party. Two men face lesser related charges, but no one has been charged with the killings.

Over 30 Rides and Attractions Packed With KID SIZED THRILLS!!!

Saturday’s meeting at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church was meant to follow up on concerns raised in an earlier forum that Danzig residents were unaware of what help was available in their neighbourhood.

McKay said churches and social agencies in the West Hill area should do more outreach work on what they offer. “The agencies need to go out and recruit business, for want of a better term,” he said.

Stealing from garage sales is an act of crime

The Scarborough Mirror is published every Thursday and Friday at 175 Gordon Baker Rd., Toronto, ON M2H 2S6, by Toronto Community News, a Division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Police need residents’ help W

hen it comes to making our neighbourhoods safer, community interaction is critical for police.

But what happens next is just as important, whether it’s building on the success of a particular program or increased access and visibility into a community to build rich, trusting relationships.

In a special feature on policing in the nine communities we serve, Toronto Community News spoke to people and organizations directly involved in neighbourhood programs and initiatives. Earlier this summer, after the horrific Danzig Street shooting, Toronto Police our view Chief Bill Blair had announced mandatory overtime for offiCommunity cers this summer in an effort to restore a sense of safety in city must take neighbourhoods. The summer safety initiative, which runs until ownership Sept. 6, has an extra 329 officers in crime on city streets each day.

The increased visibility prevention manifests itself in different ways depending on the community and the types of crime that need to be addressed.

For example, there’s an increased foot patrol in the Beach, a ramped-up police presence on the subway system under Danforth Avenue.

But law enforcement is more than about solving crimes that have been committed. There is a proactive element, too. The building of effective mutual relationships between law enforcement and residents is a wise investment. “There is a sustainability component we are trying to address,” notes 12 Division Supt. Mark Saunders, whose area includes much of the former city of York. “The only way to do this successfully is through community relationships.”

Breaking down barriers of distrust, increasing youth participation in community initiatives and establishing a healthy two-way discussion between law enforcement and residents are all part of the solution to safer communities.

Once the summer safety project wraps up, there must be a review of the various initiatives across the city to assess their respective impacts. Then there is the opportunity to build on programs which appear to have traction, as well as the opportunity to apply knowledge gleaned from one area of the city to another. “We can’t police the community on our own.

We can’t solve all the problems on our own, we need the community’s input, we need their assistance and their consent to be in their community,” says 14 Division Supt. Mario Di Tommaso.

It’s acknowledgements like these that help pave the way. It’s up to the community to respond in kind.

To the editor: If you are going to a garage sale, don’t steal from the people who are hosting it.

They work hard to get it all set up.

I have had jewelry stolen at my garage sale and we are getting to a point where we are not going to have them any more if people are going to steal from us.

Ask to purchase the item for less or don’t buy it, but don’t steal from a garage sale.

People are trying to make a bit of cash with their stuff they are already getting rid of at a great price. You wouldn’t like us to go to your garage sale - or house - and steal your stuff, so don’t do it to others.

If you are that hard up for something, go on welfare. Remember, it is a crime to steal from a garage sale. Police can be involved.

Use land transfer tax to make city safer To the editor: It’s clear we have a problem with guns and gangs in Toronto. So what’s the solution?

Do we want Guardian Angles patrolling our streets? Do we want Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti to become a self-imposed czar in the battle of gangs?

No. What we do need is an immediate, co-ordinated and comprehensive plan of action that does not take days to form but only hours. When Toronto was hit by an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003, community leaders and politicians moved fast to combat Toronto’s reputation from being further bruised.

Toronto staged the rock concert of all rock concerts featuring the Rolling Stones. Thousands came out; in fact it was billed as the largest ticketed outdoor

concert in Canadian history.

The city didn’t stop there.

Festivals such as Luminato were created to showcase to the world that Toronto was indeed a world-class city.

In our opinion their actions worked.

Why? Because they were focused, efficient and didn’t waste time. They acted because they knew that if they didn’t it would be too late to save Toronto from being branded as a place not to visit. They simply knew what had to be done.

How is it then, that when Toronto is hit with such devastating gun crimes, like we have just witnessed this summer, we suddenly blank out or resort to tired practices of dealing with gun crime? We have reams of statistics, bundles of studies and reports from many sources reporting on how to tackle gun crime, but we seem to fail

at moving forward with an actual plan — a new plan.

So far the only true action that has been taken is that of the Ontario government and Toronto police. In the immediate aftermath of the Danzig Street shooting, Premier Dalton McGuinty rolled funding for Toronto’s AntiViolence Intervention Strategy (TAVIS). TAVIS includes roving units of 72 officers deployed into Toronto’s hot spots and receives about $5 million a year from the province to operate. In addition, the province will spend $500,000 to support stronger co-ordination among Toronto police and will present an “action plan” in 30 days. The police are placing more “approachable police officers” on our streets and deploying resources accordingly.

Great start but not enough to truly combat such a deep social problem. For this

we do need a deeper coordinated effort in tackling the problem.

We propose a direct and interim approach that can be deployed immediately until a co-ordinated and comprehensive plan is implemented. This would form council’s response. So far they don’t have one.

We propose that 10 per cent of Toronto’s land transfer tax – about $30 million – be immediately deployed to Toronto’s front line responders. These include police, community youth engagers, those managing at risk youth programs, those running on the ground not-for-profits working in gun crime hot spots and the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC).

We are engaged and concerned citizens and we want our community leaders to act.

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com The regional health authority wants Scarborough residents to “share their stories” about the local healthcare system at a time when that system is about to be reshaped.

Scarborough’s hospitals, community health centres, mental health agencies and

the Central East Community Care Access Centre – which provides home care for the elderly – are all funded by the Central East Local Health Integration Network.

PROVINCIAL FUNDING The Central East LHIN also doles out provincial money to healthcare providers as far

east as Peterborough and runs an Integrated Health Service Plan the LHIN said has saved the system money and time through better regional coordination.

“By leading the creation of a system that is integrated and sustainable and that ensures better health, better care and better value for money, the LHIN has seen a decrease

Salvation Army seeks help for families Donations can be made at Scarborough Brick locations The Salvation Army is teaming up with one of Canada’s largest home furnishing retailers to help those in need.

The Brick and the Salvation Army are hosting a donation drive at two Scarborough stores to collect clothing and household items to help families in need.

The drive runs from today to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“The Brick is very pleased to be able to assist the Salvation

Army in its clothing drive, not only by giving our customers an opportunity to drop-off their gently-used clothing at some of our conveniently located stores, but also by using some of our marketing ability to help get the message out to the communities,” said Khalid Khan, senior director of stores for Ontario and Central Canada.

“It’s just another way for us to participate and give back in our communities in a socially

responsible manner. We’re anticipating a very positive response from our customers and look forward to being able to continue to work with The Salvation Army in the future.”

There will be a Salvation Army donation bin set up at the 19 Willian Kitchen Rd. store and the 20 Ashtonbee Rd. location. People can drop off clothing, shoes, toys, books, and small household items.

‘It’s important that we hear from as many people as possible so that we align the goals of the 2013-2016 Integrated Health Service Plan with what matters to local residents and their families.’

Wayne Gladstone, LHIN board chair in emergency department wait times during the timeline of the current plan,” the authority said this week in a release.

The LHIN also said fewer people in the region have been admitted to a hospital because of diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and asthma.

SERVICES PLAN As the three-year services plan expires in March, the LHIN said hearing residents’ recent healthcare experiences can help develop a plan for the next three years.

The release asked for stories in which residents specify

“what should be available or provided by the system, which experiences have impressed them, which ones were frustrating and how they could be improved.”

“It’s important that we hear from as many people as possible so that we align the goals of the 2013-2016 Integrated Health Service Plan with what matters to local residents and their families,” added Wayne Gladstone, the LHIN board chairperson.

The call for comments comes, however, before a three-year period in which local hospital presidents say they expect the province, trying to reign in costs, will

demand major changes to the local delivery of healthcare and suggested hospitals will have to specialize rather than provide all services to residents.

MOVING CARE In a recent interview, LHIN CEO Debbie Hammons said moving certain types of care out of hospitals and into community settings will save the system money.

Certain medical procedures are quicker or less invasive than they used to be, such as cataract surgery, which used to require patients “to lie there four days” afterwards, said Hammons. “Now it’s an outpatient procedure that takes 15 minutes,” she said.

The LHIN asked residents to record their experiences by filling out a survey on its website (www.centraleastlhin. on.ca) by Sept. 21, and said anyone with questions about it should call 1-866-804-5446 or email centraleast@lhins. on.ca

Peel Regional Police Homicide Insp. George Koekkoek announces the arrest of a man Monday in the case of the murder and dismemberment of Scarborough’s Guang Hua Liu.

Man, 40, arrested in dismemberment death of local woman Construction worker charged with second degree murder in death of Guang Hua Liu CHRIS CLAY scm@insidetoronto.com A 40-year-old Scarborough construction worker has been arrested and charged with second degree murder in the death of a woman whose body parts were found in Mississauga and Scarborough.

Peel Regional Police arrested Chun Qi Jiang on Sunday in Toronto and charged him with second degree murder in the death of Scarborough’s Guang Hua Liu, 41.

Police said Jiang and Liu had been dating for four years but were no longer together.

Police characterized her deth as a domestic-related homicide.

Liu, who lived in the Kennedy Road and Huntingwood area, was reported missing earlier this month.

She was a single mother of three who lived in a quiet cul-de-sac of rowhouses in

Guang Hua Liu, 41.was a single mother of three who lived in a quiet cul-de-sac of rowhouses in Agincourt.

Agincourt.

Liu,a Canadian citizen of Chinese descent who used the English name Heather, was the owner of a now-defunct licensed spa on Eglinton Avenue near Kennedy Road in Scarborough.

Liu’s dismembered body was found over the course of several days between Aug. 15-19.

The disturbing chain

of events began at Hewick Meadows Park, near Mi s s i s s a u g a Ro a d a n d Eglinton Avenue.

Police were searching the park after a right foot, severed at the ankle, was found in the Credit River. A woman’s head was also found about a kilometre north of that site.

Then, two hands were found in the same vicinity.

Police said soon after that those body parts were connected to discoveries in Scarborough.

A man searching for golf balls in a creek at Tam O’Shanter Golf Course, near Kennedy Road and Sheppard Avenue, discovered some remains. A reporter made another grim discovery near a creek in that area. Those remains were stuffed in a plastic bag.

Police confirmed that the body parts found in Scarborough include a thigh, an arm and calves. Police believe the body parts were in the water for five to seven days.

City Hall

Court case: anything can happen

I

t might be premature to start speculating on the next two years in this city’s life, given the drama set to unfold next week at the University Avenue courthouse.

Mayor Rob Ford will be on a witness stand, testifying in his own defence against a complaint that he violated the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act when he spoke on the floor of council asking that he not be required to pay back about $3,100 in donations to his football charity made last term. Questioning him will be high-profile lawyer Clayton Ruby.

Anything might happen.

Given the inflexibility of the penalty for violating the act — the minimum sentence is removal from office – it’s not unreasonable to ask what would the rest of the term look like at city hall, if Justice Charles Hackland finds Ford guilty of knowingly violating the act and throws him out of office in the next month or two?

Under those extraordinary circumstances, council will have some options.

THE CITY

david nickle

The City of Toronto Act and the Municipal Elections Act allow council to hold a byelection to fill a vacancy, or fill the office by appointment.

Should council choose the more costly option of a byelection, and the sentence be the minimum, Ford would be free to run again.

And given that the matter in court concerns his charity work, he would stand an excellent chance of winning.

The fact that every councillor harbouring mayoralty ambitions would be tempted to run as well — losers could, in a byelection, still return to their seat on council — a mid-term re-election for Ford in the midst of a field crowded with challengers would be an excellent bet.

But council might also choose to appoint a caretaker mayor to see the term

through to the next general election. There are advantages: it is cheaper, and far less disruptive to the flow of work at city hall. And there are disadvantages: Toronto would, for two years, have a mayor no one voted for but 44 councillors.

There would be a strong argument to hand the job to the Deputy Mayor, Doug Holyday. He would be in a position to deliver something approaching the agenda that Ford’s supporters voted for. But there would be an argument as well to install a more neutral figure, given that for the past calendar year, Toronto Council has essentially usurped that agenda in favour of the agendas its members see themselves as having been elected on.

Whichever way it goes it’s unlikely that the decisions coming out of city hall would be much different.

The mayor is after all only one vote. n David Nickle is The Guardian’s city hall reporter.

“E

nemies are here,” a young woman says. “I hope you get licked,” says another.

This was the initial reaction to a team of six police officers on Danzig Street last week.

“Not feeling the love,” an officer quipped.

The team of officers, headed by Sgt. Dave Wilson, is from 43 Division’s community response unit.

The officers divide into two groups and walk through a townhouse complex that last month was the scene of a mass shooting that killed a 14 year-old-girl and a 23-year-old man, and left another 23 people wounded.

These walkabouts have become common in the area since the shooting; many residents have warmed up to the officers as a result.

“I appreciate the fact that you’re here and want to talk. That’s the way to build community relations,” Ann Marie Stevens tells constables Mike Robertson and Clayton Dales. “I appreciate this. This is the way it should be. Keep up the good work.”

Stevens, who has been living at the Danzig com-

Sgt. Dave Wilson talks with young cyclists at the towwnhouse complex at 3190 Kingston Rd. in the 43 Division area.

plex for five years, said the community has come closer since the shooting.

“It took a tragedy to make that happen,” she said.

“Prior to this we’d say hi.

Now everybody looks out for each other’s children.”

Cheryl Colbert also appreciates the increased police presence. “Now they come in, say hi and seem like they actually care to get to know us. They’re really good with us now. We feel safer.”

In response to the shooting, Police Chief Bill Blair imposed mandatory overtime on officers across the city between Aug. 6 and Sept. 9. Dubbed the summer safety initiative, the compulsory overtime has resulted in an extra weekend platoon at 43 Division.

“Because there’s a lot more officers out there, it’s been very quiet, almost boring,” said Wilson, a 34-year veteran of the police force. “You get more cops, you get less crime. I think this summer project bears witness to that.”

Mandatory overtime was also imposed on officers on the weekend of the Aug. 4 Caribbean Carnival Festival.

That resulted in about 450 additional officers working in the downtown core in addition to 350 uniform officers in the parade.

Some in the African Canadian community believe the police are watching them too closely.

“Do I think there’s overpolicing of the black community? Most certainly yes. And it’s reflected in the

rates of contact, it’s reflected in the rates of incarceration and it’s reflected in the studies that have been conducted on the rates of criminality,” said Moya Teklu of the African Canadian Legal Clinic.

“The argument has always been that these people are not the only ones that are committing crimes but they’re...being disproportionately targeted and disproportionately policed, which leads to the disproportionate involvement in the criminal justice system, which then continues the cycle of poverty and criminality.”

Supt. Mark Fenton, the unit commander of 43 Division, said police want to over-protect, not overpolice.

“It’s been very positive,” he said of the summer safety initiative. “We’ve had positive reactions from the vast majority of the public.”

Fenton noted police are returning to the community policing philosophy.

“Traditionally, policing was always based on community-based policing.

Sir Robert Peel made the statement that the public are the police and the police are the public,” said Fenton.

“As policing became professionalized through time, we kind of went away from that understanding, but we have moved back to that. So it is a partnership between a the public and closer police where look the police fully Inside understand and Toronto acknowledge that we do not have all the answers.”

The community response unit (CRU) at 43 Division consists of two teams of 10 constables. Unlike the primary response unit, the

CRU isn’t tied to answering emergency calls.

“We try to be proactive and focus on areas that are prone to crime, gangs and gun violence,” Wilson said.

“We will attend community functions like barbecues or parades. Generally we catch a lot of the stuff that the other units in the division don’t.”

CRU officers patrol on foot, bike, ATV and cruiser.

“We may see Mr. Smith, for example, standing at the bus stop and we might just walk up to him and shake his hand and introduce ourselves to him, see if everything is OK in his world,” said Wilson. “Then to the opposite end of community-based policing, we’ll go into the troubled spots where we know the individuals there are there for no legitimate purpose.

They’re hanging around; they’re potentially dealing drugs or intimidating members of the community.” n Have your say on local policing. Email us at scm@ insidetoronto.com

Toronto’s TAVIS program created to help combat gangs and guns The Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy, better known as TAVIS, was formed in 2006 in response to a sharp spike in gun violence in the city the previous year.

A total of 52 people were murdered by gunfire in 2005, many during the summer months, thus 2005 became known as the Summer of the Gun. TAVIS, run by the Toronto Police

Service, combats guns and gangs through two initiatives: • the summer neighbourhood initiative began in 2008; it involves teams of officers focussing on two or three high-crime neighbourhoods each summer (this summer the focus is on north Etobicoke and the Jane Street corridor); • the year-round rapid response unit has a total 72 officers; they

go to trouble spots throughout the city as needed to increase police visibility and enforcement.

On July 23, premier Dalton McGuinty announced the permanent funding of TAVIS. According to police, between Jan. 1 and June 30 of this year, the TAVIS rapid response unit: • arrested 765 people; • seized 4 handguns;

• seized 2 replica guns; • seized 3 air/starter pistols; • seized 22 rounds of ammunition; • seized $99,955 cash as proceeds of crime.

TAVIS summer neighbourhood initiatives: • 2012 - north Etobicoke; the Jane Street corridor in North York (Jane from south of Sheppard Avenue to north of Finch Avenue)

• 2011 - Eglinton Avenue between Brimley and Kennedy roads in Scarborough; the Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue area in York • 2010 - Scarborough Village; north Etobicoke; the Jane Street corridor • 2009 - the Jane Street corridor; the Keele Street and Eglinton Avenue area in York • 2008 - the Jane Street corridor; Regent Park

And her partner Chanel Raymundo is nearly as perfect teaming up with Currie for gold both this year and in 2010, and settling for silver (with another partner) in 2011. The duo competed this year in the 16-under category.

Scarborough filtration plant’s namesake honoured Exhibit celebrates 100th anniversary of R.C. Harris being named Toronto’s works commissioner JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com An exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of the appointment of Roland Caldwell (R.C.) Harris as

Commissioner of Works for the City of Toronto is being presented Sept. 15 to March 2, 2013 at The Market Gallery, 95 Front St. E., Second Floor.

The exhibition – titled ‘The Water Czar: R.C. Harris Works

for Toronto, 1912-45’ – chronicles the remarkable 33-year career of the Toronto public works legend as the head of the city’s works department through archival photos, maps and plans, and rarely- or never-

before-seen artifacts.

Wonderful tribute “This exhibition is a wonderful tribute to a remarka b l e c i t y b u i l d e r. W h e n

Torontonians drink a glass of tap water or cross the Prince Edward Viaduct, they are benefitting from his work,” said Scarborough Centre Councillor Michael Thompson, chair of the city’s economic development committee, in a release.

An international engineer ing fir m, CH2M HILL, is sponsoring the exhibition.

The company’s history includes a merger with Toronto-based Gore, Nasmith and Storrie, which worked closely with Harris throughout his career.

Harris, who became Toronto’s works commissioner following a series of water-related scandals that led to the resignation of the city engineer, was appointed not necessarily for his technical acumen but for his administrative ability.

Civic vision Before long, he developed a civic vision where public works were viewed as the cornerstone of greater Toronto.

During his three-decade career, Harris tackled a number of the city’s water challenges notably developing bridges and making the harbour more accessible, obtaining a secure supply of tap water and getting rid of the city’s wastewater.

Drinking water The circa-1941 water treatment plant at the foot of Victoria Park Avenue and Queen Street East, which currently provides 45 per cent of Toronto and York region’s water supply, is named in honour of Harris’ many accomplishments.

The Market Gallery, a program of the City of Toronto’s Cultural Services that presents exhibitions dedicated to Toronto’s art, culture and history and offers educational programs for schools groups and adults, is open Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Chinese Canadian business forum hosted

by Scarborough group Marking 20 years as a national non-profit group, the Chinese Professional Association of Canada plans a Sino-Canada International Forum in September.

The event will also feature a gala evening reception recognizing the group’s many accomplishments over the past two decades.

The 20th anniversary gala is on Friday, Sept. 28 at the Allstream Centre on the Canadian National Exhibition Grounds.

The forum – an event “bringing together Canadian and Chinese municipal and business interests” – and an international job fair will take place at the same location on the following day.

Tickets for the event are $98.

In a press release, CPAC said government representatives and business leaders from both countries will be meeting at the forum.

At the forum, organizers said the representatives will “engage in discussions on diverse topics ranging from city planning, tourism, overseas investment, to high level talent recruitment.”

Based in Scarborough, the group for immigrant professionals said it has more than 27,000 members across Canada.

Information on both events is at www.chineseprofessionals.ca – Mike Adler

Sides set up arguments in advance of Ford’s testimony Mayor to appear Sept. 5 DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com The battle for Mayor Rob Ford’s job begins in public next Wednesday, Sept. 5.

T h a t’s w h e n Fo rd will take the stand at the 393 University Ave. Courthouse, to convince Ontario Court Judge Charles T. Hackford that allegations by Toronto resident Paul Magder and his lawyer Clayton Ruby that he violated the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act are either incorrect, or if they’re true, that he broke the law by mistake.

It is a high-stakes game: if Ford is found to have breached the act, he is automatically removed from office.

If the judge so desires, he can also be fined, and barred from running again for up to the next seven years.

The allegations from Ruby and Magder came forward earlier this year, and stem from a Feb. 7 speech Ford gave on the floor of council, concerning a report by the city’s Integrity Commissioner on his refusal to comply with a council order to return donations given to his football charity.

According to the Integrity Commissioner’s report, as a councillor, Ford violated the council code of conduct by using his city hall letterhead and a city staff member to raise money for the Rob Ford Football Foundation.

The foundation was established by Ford to purchase football equipment for schools in underprivileged neighbourhoods.

Ford was asked six times by the Integrity Commissioner to return $3,150 to the donors, and had not yet done so.

When the report came before council, Ford stayed in the room and spoke to the matter. During his speech, he reminded councillors that football equipment had been purchased for schools in many of their wards, and pleaded with council not to require

him to return the money to the donors.

“To ask for me to pay it out of my own pocket personally — there’s no sense to this,” he said during the meeting. “The money’s gone. The money’s been spent on football equipment.”

Ford later voted with the majority in favour of a motion by Councillor Paul Ainslie, to remove the requirement that he pay back the money.

That, according to a factum submitted by Ruby, is evidence that Ford violated the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. The Act states that a member of council must leave the chamber, and neither speak nor vote on a matter in which they have pecuniary interest.

“Because City Council voted on the issue of the Respondent’s obligation to personally repay the $3,150, Mayor Ford had a pecuniary interest in the outcome,” he said. “It was also open to Council to impose additional pecuniary sanctions on the Respondent (for failing to pay the $3,150 and for failing to provide proof of repayment) because, under the City of Toronto Act, Council was empowered to sanction its members for breaches of the Code of Conduct, by... suspending the member’s remuneration.”

Ruby also argues that Ford could not claim that he was unaware of the conflict. In 2010, when the matter first came up, Ruby writes, “Mayor Ford had been alerted to his conflict of interest by the Speaker (Sandra Bussin), and yet he chose to participate and vote on the matter, showing a deliberate decision to ignore the MCIA. Second, the Respondent had declared conflicts of interest many times in the past, which indicated that he had at least some familiarity with the MCIA.” Ruby’s factum indicates he is submitting an affidavit by Bussin, indicating that she had warned Ford of this very conflict.

In the factum submitted by Ford’s lawyer Alan Lenczner, the mayor’s

team present several defences.

First, they argue that the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act doesn’t apply to matters concerning councillors’ codes of conduct. “The MCIA is concerned with business or commercial matters of the City of Toronto,” he writes. “That is the objective of the objective of the MCIA.” Lenczner also argues that in the matter of a code of conduct violation alleged by the Integrity Commissioner, a member of council needs to have the opportunity to defend himeslf. justice “Otherwise, he is denied natural justice and fairness in that he cannot offer any explanation or mitigating circumstances, etc., before Council censors him,” the factum reads. “The draconian measure of muzzling a councillor when a sanction for his own conduct is being decided is not the objective of the MCIA.” Leczner also maintains that because the football foundation is not administered by Ford, he received no financial benefit from any donations.

The team also argues that the resolution requiring Ford to repay the $3,150 was beyond Toronto Council’s powers. Leczner also asks that the judge find that Ford committed an error of judgement because he was confused as to what was on the table when Ainslie moved the motion to forgive Ford.

He also argued that the amount is insignificant, and therefore wouldn’t influence Ford’s actions.

“The amount of money involved, $3,150, when considered against the $167,770 salary of the Mayor is insignificant,” Leczner wrote.

“It is also inconsequential when weighed against the consequences of the Act. No objectively reasonable person could conclude that the respondent, a City Councillor for 10 years and Mayor for two years would jeopardize his position for $3,150 particularly when on the same day he declared a conflict of interest because of his mother’s membership in the Lambton Golf Course.”

>>>from page 1 councillor whose home was one of those flooded by sewage, called the session with Toronto Water staff “one of the most important meetings I’ll have during the four years” of her term.

“It’ll be huge,” she predicted.

Gary Crawford, the area’s other councillor, has a similar meeting planned to address Ward 36 concerns, beginning 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 19, at Scarborough

Village Community Recreation Centre on Kingston Road.

REVIEW PAST PLANS Crawford has said he wanted staff to review past plans for expanding the storm sewer system as well as record flooding in previous storms.

Between them, the two Scarborough Southwest wards produced most of the city’s flood-

ing complaints on July 15. There were also complaints, though fewer, from the two Scarborough Centre wards.

The councillor for one of these, Glenn De Baeremaeker, is holding a meeting of his own for Ward 38 residents on Wednesday, Sept. 26.

The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will take place at the Bendale Public Library. 1515 Danforth Rd., north of Eglinton Avenue and south of Lawrence Avenue.
