Chamber warns of ’unintended consequences’ MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com In Toronto’s downtown Regent Park neighbourhood, news that Ontario’s Liberal government was moving to a $15 minimum wage left people happy and, in some cases, speechless, says a local organizer.

"All together, we made it," Nadira Begum, part of a campaign pushing the province for labour reforms, added on Tuesday.

"There is a big difference in people’s lives."

For more than five years, the married mother of three has juggled three part-time jobs with no benefits.

Though some Regent Park residents thought it a waste of time, Begum and others went to rallies and pressured their MPP, Glen Murray.

Now that Premier Kathleen Wynne has committed to some of what campaigners wanted, Begum said, more actions are planned,

because people know politicians say things and forget them.

"We want to see it real," she explained.

The $15 and Fairness movement sparked concern in business groups, including the Toronto and Region Board of Trade, which called the proposed move to $15 an hour "drastic" and said it appeared to be "a wholly political decision."

The move, which will raise the current minimum wage of $11.40 an hour to $14 on Jan. 1 and $15 a year later, will add costs to everyday goods and services, and force Toronto employers either to let employees go, cut hours and close shop altogether, said Karl Baldauf, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce’s policy and government relations vice president.

"The notion that these policies will be seen as popular, I certainly question that," he said Tuesday.

The province’s labour market needs responsible and "evidence-based" policy changes, Baldauf argued, "and that isn’t what we saw from the government today."

Rev. Alex Wilson, Rabbi Shalom Schachter, Bhupinder Singh Ubbi, Rev. Dr. Susan Eagle and Imam Ibrahim Hindy, seen during Queen’s Park press conference on May 30, are among nearly 200 Ontario faith leaders who signed a statement supporting a $15 minimum wage and other labour reforms.

The Chamber called for third-party economic analysis of each change to avoid "unintended consequences" that will hurt Ontario’s economy.

Now, the group will do economic research the gov-

ernment hasn’t done, Baldauf said, partly so it can better speak to the province about lowering corporate and small business tax rates to offset the added costs.

Rabbi Shalom Schach-

ter, the Toronto Board of Rabbis representative on the Interfaith Social Assistance Reform Coalition, said citizens should be glad the government is trying to reduce economic inequality. They need to speak up

and let the Wynne Liberals know it should be a priority in the fall session.

"We’ve been waiting for an update in these laws for decades now," while the gap between rich and poor has grown, he said. "Trickle down economics has not worked."

Schachter was one of nearly 200 faith leaders who signed a statement supporting the goals of the $15 and Fairness movement, believing, as he later said, they play a role in moving Ontario toward a more just society.

The faith coalition hoped for $15 this year; getting it in 2019 is "the longest delay we would be prepared to accept," Schachter said.

Some businesses welcomed the promised changes to wages and employment standards, believing they’ll lead to more spending power, which will support local businesses in turn. "It’s putting goodpaying jobs back into the community," said Amanda Terfloth, co-ordinator of the Better Way to Build the Economy Alliance.

The group’s 27 businesses range from four to 7,000 employees, she said.

Will minimum wage boost be good for Toronto?

Vacant Ward 44 seat to be filled by appointment Toronto councillors will choose a successor for the late Ron Moeser on June 28.

Councillor Moeser, who was 74, died April 18 after battling cancer.

Apart from one threeyear gap, he had represented the Scarborough East area since 1988, including 10 years as a City of Scarborough coun-

cillor.

Toronto City Council voted 24 to 13 last Friday to fill Moeser’s Ward 44 seat for the remainder of this term by appointment, rather than byelection.

Applications for potential appointees are now available at the Scarborough Civic Centre on Borough Drive, where they must be filed in person (or

at Toronto City Hall) by June 19.

On June 28, Toronto Council will meet to hear from applicants, and will then vote on an appointment.

Eligible candidates must be Canadian citizens, over 18 years old, and either a resident of Toronto or an owner or tenant of a property in To-

ronto - or that person’s spouse.

And they must not be prohibited from voting or holding municipal office.

An information session on the appointment process is scheduled for 7 to 9 p.m. at the Civic Centre on Wednesday, June 7.

ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com A golden lab named Zara escaped with minor injuries after being rescued by firefighters from the Scarborough Bluffs Tuesday.

The 12-year-old dog wandered too far down the bluffs near the foot of Lakeside Avenue and couldn’t get back up at 9:39 a.m. May 30.

Fire crews were called to rescue the stranded canine.

"We sent down a stokes basket, a rescue team," said district chief Stephan Powell, adding the dog was placed in a bag with its head out and "remained calm in the basket" as it was hauled up to safety.

The dog suffered a few cuts and bruises and immediately tried to go back towards the cliff.

"Maybe it forgot its bone. I don’t know," Powell said.

Owner Cindy Iannuccci was seen thanking the res-

Conservation authority ‘appalled people are still disregarding these notices’ For years, the "erosion works" (large stones placed to stop erosion below the bluffs) and the waterfront construction road east of Bluffers Park have been used as a park, particularly by area residents, despite the TRCA’s position that they are not safe. The authority is studying a plan for developing a safe set of waterfront parks and trails below the bluffs.

The bluffs see run-off and erosion each spring, but the landslide danger has increased as local rainfall in April and May reached record levels. As usual, people who don’t respect the authority’s fence lines placed along bluff edges could find themselves caught in a slide.

Gaffney said around a dozen landslides on the bluffs this year have been confirmed, but that number will rise after TRCA studies

Toronto firefighters rescue Zara, a 12-year-old golden lab, from the Scarborough Bluffs at the foot of Lakeside Avenue Tuesday morning, after she wandered too close to the edge and fell down a steep grade.

Five fire trucks were dispatched to the scene.

"We’re happy that there were no real injuries in this call," said Powell, noting the dog owner was "absolutely thrilled" with the outcome.

cuers.

Powell said firefighters performed a routine rescue "other than it wasn’t a person, they rescued a dog."

"It happens a couple of times a year, generally with an older animal," he added.

People strolling up to the edge of the Scarborough Bluffs or walking below them are risking death, says a Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) spokesperson.

Signs posted at access points in May warn people of the danger of being on the construction road below the bluffs, but the authority has noticed a lot of people going there anyway.

"We’re actually a bit appalled people are still disregarding these notices," said Nancy Gaffney, TRCA head of watershed programs, on Tuesday.

If someone ends up buried by a landslide below the bluffs, "we would not know," Gaffney added.

"Emergency vehicles cannot even get to them at this point."

drone footage it received last week.

The video will help its engineers determine whether public infrastructure or private decks or swimming pools on the bluffs are undermined, she said.

High lake levels flooded the Rouge Beach parking lot weeks ago.

Lake Ontario’s water levels are stable and may start going down in the next couple of days, but the lot won’t be usable until the end of June at least, said Gaffney.

Though the City of Toronto will try to open Rouge Beach and Bluffers Beach in Scarborough as soon as possible, there will be very little unusable beach for some time, and the city must clean up debris, she said.

Flooding also exists in other parts of Toronto’s waterfront, and the break wall for the Western Beaches is submerged, Gaffney said.

ABOUT US

The ’Fair Hydro Plan’ is anything but that Welcome one and all to the Ontario government’s incredible, stupendous hydro-cuts emporium where you can buy cheaper electricity today - then pay big-time for it later.

If this makes the Liberals’ misnamed Fair Hydro Plan sound like a slick scheme concocted to get them re-elected, that’s because to a large degree it is.

Yes, we know Ontarians were begging for relief from constantly soaring hydro bills.

We also know many consumers are cheering Premier Kathleen Wynne’s plan to slash hydro rates by 25 per cent this year and then limit increases to the inflation rate for the next four years.

But as the province’s financial watchdog reported last week, the cost of insulating Ontarians from soaring energy bills will eventually shock them to the tips of their toes. To be sure, the Liberal plan will save consumers $24 billion over the next four years.

That’s a tidy sum and it’s no coincidence the savings are perfectly timed to inspire warm and fuzzy feelings for the Liberals before the June 2018 election.

But as the Financial Accountability Office just reported, it will cost the province a jaw-dropping $45 billion over the next 29 years to make those savings possible. In addition, if interest rates rise or the province starts running deficits again, the eventual cost of the plan could balloon to $93 billion.

The inescapable reason for this daunting bill is that the province must borrow heavily to pay for the discounted hydro rates.

That money must be repaid. And in order to lower hydro bills in the short term, the government will need to increase them in subsequent years to cover the debt that finances the plan.

It’s all a bit like using a carving knife to extract a splinter. The operation may succeed, but the bleeding will be considerable.

So, while you can, enjoy seeing average monthly hydro bills drop from $163 to $123 starting this summer.

But brace yourself for hydro rates to increase by 6.8 per cent a year from 2021 to 2027. Be ready for the average monthly bill to rise to $213 by 2028.

It is a reminder, too, of how badly this government has mismanaged the electricity file - think of their subsidies for wind and solar energy we don’t need. Other governments of different political stripes have made a mess of it before.

But the Wynne government has nothing to be proud of in how they’ve handled Ontario’s electricity system.

People will keep fighting for ’$15 and Fairness’ Today, June 1, Queen’s Park shuts for the summer.

It’s the last day before fall for the Liberal government to say they’re reforming Ontario’s labour laws, and raising minimum wage to $15.

As of this writing, I don’t know what the government announced or hasn’t.

I know people in the $15 and Fairness campaign made every day count.

They’ve already done more than politicians thought they could.

So many of us are stuck in precarious and parttime jobs.

For two years, campaigners seemed to be everywhere, on streetcars and street corners, reaching people who fit that description.

They’ve demanded $15

They were poised a week ago to get serious labour reform, not because government suddenly saw the light, as the Workers’ Action Centre’s Deena Ladd says, but because people fought for it.

Sarkar, a community action leader for Access Alliance - that’s one of his three part-time jobs - in Scarborough’s Oakridge and East York’s Crescent Town.

He’s met fellow immigrants who wait in vain to get called to work, or are sent home after an hour or two, or get $6 or $7 an hour at a grocery or convenience store.

They need rent money, but without paid sick days, Sarkar says, many go to work sick, or pay a further price in back pain, or repetitive strain injuries.

Malka Paracha, a food service supervisor at York University, "was an anti-union person" a while ago. But then a union, along with students and faculty, helped York’s servers stand up

and win $15 an hour and full benefits.

"It is 200 per cent possible. We did it," says Paracha.

The Changing Workplaces Review recommendations are a mixed bag. Campaigners knew Ontario’s Chamber of Commerce would call their reforms a job killer, but they kept pushing the government for the full package.

If it wasn’t introduced

by June 1, perhaps it would come this fall.

If MPPs expect this to stop, they’re wrong.

"If they don’t listen," Ladd says, "they will hear it at the ballot box."

Affordable housing builders squeezed by hot market DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com The builders of affordable housing in the Toronto area are concerned that the region’s hot real estate market could put their ability to offer homes to lower-income residents at risk.

Options for Homes primarily builds condo apartments within Toronto that it sells below market value, and offers down-payment support to help buyers get into the market. Historically, about five per cent of its units have been sold to families and individuals with annual household incomes below $30,000.

"We were able to sell to people with quite modest incomes. That’s a game changer for them," Options CEO Heather Tremain said.

"That is going to be more difficult for us without some significant other support in place."

The nonprofit organization is currently building two projects, one at Danforth Avenue and Main Street, and another Danforth Road and Eglinton Avenue. It also has plans in Cabbagetown and Weston, the latter of which is generating great interest, Tremain said. While still below market value, those projects are expected to sell at a higher price to individuals with higher incomes than Options’ previous developments, she said.

The cause of this rise in prices is primarily the result of rising land costs.

"It’s a very competitive environment to source and acquire land," said Habitat for Humanity Greater Toronto Area VP of Land Daniel

Ger. "Land values in general are increasing at a similar rate to the housing market."

Habitat GTA is feeling the same pressure as Options. Both organizations have a selection process for their homes so there is no bidding from buyers.

Habitat GTA is currently building or planning to build in 2017 four projects in Brampton, one in Caledon, one in Georgina in northern York Region, and is completing its largest development ever in Scarborough’s Malvern neighbourhood.

The Malvern project, with 50 stacked townhouse units, could be the last of its kind, the organization worries.

Bidding on land has become very competitive, the organization said.

"Because the housing market is so strong, you get a greater pool of developers or people that would like to enter into the development world. It’s just a very competitive marketplace right now," Ger said.

Land values in Toronto have risen so high that a single-family home lot in an inexpensive neighbourhood sells for approximately $500,000, Ger said. A similar lot in Georgina sells between $100,000 and $150,000.

Coupled with land values, development charges (fees developers pay to governments to build) have risen. Toronto’s development charges are fairly low, approximately $25,000 per townhouse unit. Other municipalities charge much higher than Toronto, Ger said. Other costs, such as prices for concrete and labour have

Tremain said Options for Homes will continue selling affordable housing, but affordability is relative to the market. The organization also looks to build in areas with lower land values but with some upside, primarily in Toronto’s suburbs.

"Our Weston site is a great site in an up-and-coming area, so the upside of an area like that, people will also, hopefully, experience some good appreciation in those units," Tremain said.

While bidding for land against developers is becoming tougher, those developers are also integral to the nonprofit sector’s ability to offer homes.

get support from for-profit builders. Options partners with Tridel, which offers labour at a reduced price, and Habitat GTA gets support from the Daniels Corporation, which has donated land, provided labour atcost and has partnered with Habitat to sell units within a development at belowmarket value.

Both organizations say governments play a key role in their ability to offer homes to lower-income individuals.

Ger said Habitat GTA welcomes buying publicly owned land, but without having to bid for it against other developers.

"What would be very helpful for us is province if municior the palities, fedor the eral

government would be able to provide access to land for not-for-profits who provide affordable home ownership without going through a public bidding process," he said.

Luckily, governments have listened.

The City of Toronto is allocating $100 million worth of city-owned land to be sold to nonprofit developers, said Davenport Councillor Ana Bailão, chair of the City’s Affordable Housing Committee.

"This is a great way to bring some equity into a partnership that can be successful in building affordable housing with the nonprofit sector," she said.

was approved in 2016 to speed up affordable housing construction. It includes financial contributions including capital funding and fees and property tax relief, fast-tracked planning approvals, plus the offer of surplus lands.

In 2016, the province passed the Promoting Affordable Housing Act, which allows municipalities to enact inclusionary zoning bylaws (bylaws that would require developers to make a certain portion of units within a development affordable). Municipalities are waiting for the province to pass a regulation which sets out inclusionary zoning parameters, to develop their own inclusionary zoning bylaws, which, when enacted has the potential to be a game-changer for the nonprofit sector, Bailão said.

Major University hearing study seeks participants.

The SMART Lab under the direction of Frank Russo, Professor of Psychology at Ryerson University, in partnership with Connect Hearing, seeks participants for a hearing study investigating the factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided

by Connect Hearing at no charge*. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and potentially improve hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why Research Hearing Loss?

Deep inside our ears are several thousand microscopic “hair cells.” These cells are arranged in rows and each cell is responsible for hearing a specific pitch, similar to the keys on a piano. As we age, some of these cells become damaged… from loud noises, chronic conditions, or the

treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help.2 This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. By studying those people having difficulty in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

process of aging itself. Just like a piano with damaged keys, an ear with damaged hair cells will make things sound muffled and distorted. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day.

Interested people can register to be a part of this hearing study* by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com A plan to put cameras in the cabs of city-operated garbage trucks in Scarborough ground to a halt at the city’s Government Management Committee on Monday.

The cameras were to be part of an integrated system of external and internal surveillance as well as sensors, to make it easier for management to determine the cause of accidents in the city’s fleet of vehicles.

But of all of the city’s fleet, only garbage trucks would have a camera installed in the cab, monitoring the driver and crew.

That didn’t sit well with councillors at the May 29 meeting.

"This is about invasion of personal privacy and the extent that management can do that," said Beaches-East York Coun. Janet Davis, adding that installing employee surveillance cameras is not something that

A city of Toronto committee has voted to scrap a proposal to put cameras in the cabs of Scarborough gargabe trucks, such as this one. should come about through the procurement process.

"This is not a way to have this discussion," she said.

"Everyone across the table should have known that we would end up in a battle with employees over this issue."

Toronto Centre-Rosedale Coun. Pam McConnell, a former chair of the Toronto Police Services Board, said she didn’t think there was

justification for singling out city garbage collectors. She noted that while Toronto police do have to contend with body cameras and cameras on board their cars, "that was for an entirely different reason. Police have a different interaction with the public, with crime, with danger. So, it’s very important for us to have that knowledge."

She said that the only thing the cameras would do for Toronto garbage workers is damage morale.

"I don’t think this is going to make them feel better. I think this is going to make them feel a lot worse," she said. "If, in fact, we are going to have cab cameras that are really monitoring the behaviour of the driver, that’s a much bigger conversation."

The committee voted to remove the in-cab cameras from the tender and also voted down a motion by committee chair Paul Ainslie to have a report on the benefits of in-cab cameras in garbage trucks.

FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY

Rooming house pilot project topic of meetings Licensed rooming houses could soon be coming to parts of Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke where they’ve never been allowed before.

The City of Toronto has plans to create five "pilot areas" in parts of the city where houses with up to seven dwelling rooms would be legal for three years.

These areas - south of York University’s Downsview Campus and Seneca College’s Newnham Campus in North York; in Highland Creek near University of Toronto Scarborough; and across three wards north of Highway 401 and east of Victoria Park Avenue in Scarborough; and in Etobicoke near Humber College - are Toronto’s top spots for complaints about illegal rooming houses.

Many residents in these areas and their councillors, especially in Scarborough,

were dead set against legalizing rooming houses in their neighbourhoods during consultations in 2015.

The city, which does allow or license rooming houses in old Toronto, York and parts of Etobicoke, is preparing for a new round of public meetings in June on a new bylaw for what it calls "multi-tenant houses."

All are scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The first meeting - for the Highland Creek area between Highway 401, Morrish Road and Military Trail - is Tuesday, June 6, in Room HW305 of UTSC on Military Trail.

The next, on June 7 at James Cardinal McGuigan Secondary School on Finch Avenue West, is for the area near Downsview Campus between Finch Avenue West, Assiniboine Road, Black Creek, and Keele Street.

The area near Newn-

ham Campus - between Finch Avenue East, Leslie Street, Highway 404, and Fairview Mall Drive - will be covered at a June 12 meeting at Oriole Community Centre on Don Mills Road.

A June 13 meeting at Stephen Leacock Community Centre, on Birchmount Road, will focus on Scarborough between Steeles Avenue, Highway 404, Highway 401, and Markham Road.

On June 15, the Humber College area between Finch Avenue West, Martin Grove Road, and Humber College Boulevard will be examined at Elmbank Community Centre, on Rampart Road.

There will also be a June 21 meeting at L’Amoreaux Community Centre on McNicoll Avenue.

Temporary temple reopened

THE

ULTIMATE

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com A Hindu temple in Scarborough will be allowed to resume services in a Birchmount Road warehouse while its permanent home is being rebuilt, the Ontario Municipal Board has decided.

The City of Toronto effectively shut down Canada Kanthaswamy Temple Society’s use of 1380 Birchmount as its temporary location last November by issuing an "unsafe building" order banning "assembly use" in the building, which includes worship, recreation and classroom teaching.

The warehouse isn’t zoned for worship. The society and the property’s manager, Doverhold Investments, were denied a minor variance appeal to permit worship there for up to three years.

The society has been rebuilding a temple on its property at 733 Birch-

COMMUNITY

Mike Adler/Metroland

The Canada Kanthaswamy Temple Society’s leasing of an industrial building at 733 Birchmount Road as a temporary location, while its permanent temple is being rebuilt, has been stopped by the City of Toronto. The city ordered an end to the building’s temporary use as a place of worship. mount, and told the board construction there would be finished by March 31, 2018.

In a decision issued May 15, board member David Lanthier said the short length of stay - 11 months "factors significantly" in his conclusion the variances should be allowed.

After this, he said, the

building should be fully available for continued industrial use in one of Toronto’s employment areas.

Scarborough Centre Coun. Michael Thompson said he’s not necessarily happy with the decision, but described it as a compromise. "The place has not been altered dramatically," he added last week.

Appointment of Councillor Ward 44 - Scarborough East Applications are now being accepted The City of Toronto is accepting applications from qualified electors for appointment to the office of Councillor for Ward 44 to serve until November 30, 2018.

An information session will take place on June 7, 2017 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Scarborough Civic Centre located at 150 Borough Drive.

Applications will be available at the Scarborough Civic Centre, online at www.toronto.ca/ward44vacancy and at the information session.

The application deadline is June 19, 2017 at 4:30 p.m., and must be delivered in person.

City Council will meet on June 28, 2017 to make the appointment. Applicants will have the opportunity to address City Council at that meeting.

The safety of you and your family is the top priority of the chemical plants in your neighbourhood. This is why as members of Toronto East CAER we regularly test the community Siren System. In the unlikely event of an emergency, we will alert you to the risk by the activation of the Community Siren.

Knowing what to do when you hear the siren will enable you to keep you and your family safe.

Unless advised to do so by authorities: DO NOT evacuate or travel.

DO NOT bring home children from school, or other family members from work. Know that they are also Sheltering In Place.

When you have been advised of an ALL CLEAR, return all house settings to normal use.

1.

Go inside.

2.

Close all doors, windows and openings.

For the purposes of the siren test, the alert signal (whoop, whoop tone) will be sounded for 2 minutes. Following 5 minutes of silence, the all clear signal (monotone sound) will be sounded for 1 minute.

3.

Shut off ventilation systems that draw outdoor air inside (fans, air conditioning units, clothes driers, furnace and close fireplace dampers).

Date: Saturday, June 3rd, 2017 Time: 5:00 PM

When you hear the siren you must Shelter In Place:

4.

Turn on local radio and TV. Check social media and wait for further instructions.

5.

TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Parents of special needs children should get involved and connect with each other, advises Jean Hammond.

The mother of Cameron, 14, who is typically developing, and Ellie, 12, who has a developmental disability, is in her eighth year in the family leadership program at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, where Ellie accesses outpatient programs and services.

"I appreciate that anything that helps my daughter, helps me. But you also have needs as a caregiver outside of the needs of your child," Hammond said.

"Through my volunteer work, and particularly with the family leadership program, I now have a community of friends with similar experience to mine that is absolutely necessary for me."

Hammond pays forward the support she has received from parents by supporting other parents.

In particular, she is the family lead on a website, developed with Holland Bloorview’s foundation, expected to go live in late June with resources specifically geared to caregivers. It will be part of Holland Bloorview’s website.

"All the resource suggestions come from families and caregivers themselves," Hammond said.

"We asked, ’What would you like to see?’ We’re super excited about it."

Hammond lauded Holland Bloorview, located near Eglinton and Bayview avenues (on Kilgour Road), as "an industry leader" in client and family-centred care.

"Clients and families are involved in every decision and every action at this hospital. It’s an important, prioritized value here," she said. "Every mo-

Staff/Metroland

Jean Hammond (left) and her daughter Ellie Halcro, 12, share a moment on the grounds of the Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. Hammond is the primary caregiver for her developmentally disabled daughter. ment I’ve spent here, I’ve felt valued. My contribution has felt very authentic."

Melissa Ngo and Lor-

raine Thomas, family support specialists with Holland Bloorview, will be exhibiting at the Caregiver Show on June 9 at the On-

tario Science Centre.

Their message - Holland Bloorview offers myriad programs to improve the lives of children with disabilities, including those in the community who are not clients.

"A lot of parents say, ’I thought your programs are only for in-patients or outpatients seeing Holland Bloorview clinicians?’"

Ngo said.

Programs open to the community include: workshops and parent talks, camps, music and arts programs, a multi-sensory Snoezelen room and swimming.

Ngo and Thomas spend much of their time advising their caseload of approximately 1,000 families a year how to navigate systems, be it health care, education or funding.

Every family is unique in its concerns, Thomas said.

Both remind caregivers of Holland Bloorview cli-

Film festival includes free screenings More than 20 films from more than 10 countries will be showcased at the fifth annual Scarborough Worldwide Film Festival.

The event runs June 6 to 11 at five locations: University of Toronto Scarborough, Albert Campbell Square, Scarborough Arts, Scarborough’s Bluffer’s Park and the Fox Theatre in the Beach.

There will be both free and ticketed screenings of films from Canada, U.S., Iran, Chile, Croatia, India, Spain, Egypt, China, Denmark and Georgia.

"It’s exciting to be able to bring the world to Scarborough and Scarborough to the world stage," festival founder Sergei Petrov said in a news release. "The Scarborough Worldwide Film Festival provides a

platform where we can highlight everything that we love about Scarborough and the talent that is bursting within it."

The film lineup was selected by members of the festival jury committee: Shane Smith, programming director at HotDocs Canadian International Film Festival; Scarborough writer and director Joyce Wong; and Scarboroughbased filmmaker and entrepreneur Sampreeth Rao. The screenings are infused with complimentary events, music performances, experiential art and onstage conversations.

Highlights from the festival include: . Local Heroes Film Night (June 6): a series of shorts that offer an intriguing look at the faces and

places that make Scarborough great; . Opening Gala (June 7): the festival opens with award-winning Croatian film The Constitution; .

25th anniversary screening of Wayne’s World (June 9): the free event will transform Albert Campbell Square into a scene out of the comedy classic, which was based on Scarborough native Mike Myers’ Saturday Night Live sketch; . Cinema Under the Stars (June 10): attendees will experience the Scarborough Bluffs with a film screening of Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 outer space masterpiece, 2001: Space Odyssey; . and Youth Can Do It: Scarborough talent shines as local youth present their projects through film and

Armenians from across Greater Toronto marched through part of Scarborough Sunday, May 28 to mark their homeland’s 99th anniversary of independence.

Carrying an Armenian flag newly-blessed by Gomidas Panosian, priest at the Armenian Community Centre of Toronto and Bishop Geghard Keosbekian, the procession of more than 800 walked for an hour before returning to the centre on North York’s Hallcrown Place.

The parade was led by 250 youth of the Homenetmen, a scouting group formed in 1918 to organize Armenian youth, including orphaned survivors of the Armenian Genocide.

From the community centre near Sheppard Avenue East and Highway 401, the parade moved north on Victoria Park Avenue, east on Hunting-

Staff/Metroland

Marchers walk along Victoria Park Avenue in the Armenian Independance Day parade held Sunday, May 28. wood Drive, south on Pharmacy Avenue and then west along Sheppard.

"Some might say it’s a dress rehersal for 100," John Sarkhanian, a parade organizer, said later.

Recognizing the founding day of the First Armenian Republic, it ended with the singing of the country’s anthem and another patriotic song,

Sardarabad, about a 1918 battle where Armenian independence from the Ottoman Turks was won 99 years ago.

Danny Margorian, an executive member of the Toronto Homenetmen, said May 28 is celebrated

by Armenians around the world.

"We are going to turn this (parade) into an annual event," he said.
