Thousands of moth species fly through Toronto at night, and none of them get much attention. Moth Night in Scarborough’s Rouge River Valley may change the way some people see the dusky insects. “Most of them are really beautiful. Some are tiny, but little jewels if you look up close,” said Carolyn King, a board member of the Toronto Entomologists Association who finds moths fascinating. Clearly, we don’t like moths as much as butterflies. They’re not as charismatic and they make some people nervous, said King. There’s deserved public concern about plummeting butterfly populations, but species of moths – which fly mainly >>>PARKS, page 13
Tamil Fest features traditional foods, entertainment MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Sublime hoppers. Mutton rolls. Kool, a hot and sour soup made with palm tree root flour. And a whole bunch of other dishes and snacks even most residents of a multicultural,
multi-ethnic Scarborough haven’t tasted before. The first Tamil Fest comes to Morningside Avenue this weekend with traditional street performers, clothing vendors, children’s rides, and even a mobile museum. But the food alone would be
worth the admission price – if the whole festival between Finch Avenue and Neilson Road on Aug. 29 and 30 wasn’t already free. More than 20 food vendors are coming, and for many this is a first chance to bring favourites of Tamil-Canadians to a wider public.

That wider public just can’t be afraid of a little spiciness. Sri Lankan Tamil food has “a bolder taste, a bit more spicier” than other Indian cooking. It’s very different than South Asian fare, such as butter chicken, which most Canadians know, said Renjan Raja, who works
at Hopper Hut restaurant in Dorset Park. “The flavours are very unique to us.” Jude Francis, owner of JC’s Grill House in Scarborough, put it another way: Other Indian food is a six out of 10 for spici>>>FOOD, page 16

Trudeau rolls back the clock at Scarborough campaign stop MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com
Const. Barry Small recently lost his battle with cancer. The Scarborough resident led a holiday toy drive to benefit the Hospital for Sick Children for almost 30 years.
Teddy bear donations honour veteran Scarborough officer Const. Barry Small died days before 40th anniversary with Toronto force JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Const. Barry Small, a fourdecade Toronto police officer, will be remembered for his big heart exemplified by the thousands of teddy bears he collected and donated to children and seniors over the years. Small, a lifelong Scarborough resident who worked for the majority of his career at 55 Division in the Beach, died of lymphoma Monday, Aug. 3. He was 67. Members of 55 Division and the Toronto Police Association, along with his partner Susan MacCartney and his daughter Danielle, gathered Wednesday, Aug. 12 – which would have marked his 40th anniversary with the Toronto Police Service – at the Hospital for Sick Children to honour Small’s memory by donating about 150 teddy bears on his behalf. Members of Toronto Police Services were asked to bring a stuffed animal to his visitation and funeral service. Barbara Irwin, an administrative co-ordinator at 55 Division, along with Const. Christian Emond, who had worked with Small on C Platoon, helped co-ordinate the teddy bear collection. During a recent interview,
Irwin said she felt a special connection to Small as he unknowingly was the officer who dropped off a teddy bear to her daughter when she had to spend Christmas in the hospital a number of years ago. “As a parent, I was feeling helpless and upset, but then a police officer walked in with a teddy bear for my daughter,” Irwin said. “It’s something we’ll never (forget).” Years later, after she started working at 55 Division, Irwin found out that nice police officer was Small. Upon his death, she said she felt compelled to help organize the teddy bear drive in his memory. “This was really my way to honour a member with something that meant so much to him,” said Irwin, who remembered Small as a dedicated and passionate person who loved movies, his cottage and his country. “I think he loved life and he put everything he could into it. He was a 100 per cent all-in type of person.” Supt. Barbara McLean, 55 Division’s recently appointed commander in chief, had known and worked with Small some years ago when she was a detective at the division. “(Barry) was just a fantastic guy. The bears are really an
indication of how much he cared about other people,” she said. In 1987, Small started collecting and donating teddy bears to children and seniors in hospital during the holidays. He did so for the next 17 or so years until toy companies and other organizations starting doing their own toy drives.
“
My dad would spend the entire Christmas season handing out teddy bears. – Danielle Small
Regardless, he continued to be affectionately known as the “Teddy Bear police officer,” his daughter Danielle said. “My dad would spend the entire Christmas season handing out teddy bears,” she said. “Since I was old enough I started joining him to distribute the bear to kids and seniors in mostly east-end hospitals.” Danielle recalls some years when thousands of teddy bears would literally fill up her dad’s Scarborough home. In his memory, she has started up the Barry’s Bears Foundation. Mastermind Toy Store in Richmond Hill was her first donor. For details about the foundation, barrysbears@outlook. com

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau tried turning the clock back to the Paul Martin era Tuesday, when he stepped off his tour bus in Scarborough with Martin himself. Inside a factory on Midwest Road, both men made a case the Liberals have an experienced “economic team” of candidates with business smarts, but they had to concede Martin’s string of eight balanced federal budgets came at a very different time. Canada’s economic growth rate was generally strong in the years when Martin was finance minister and then prime minister. It was a time before Scarborough’s base of middleclass manufacturing jobs was gutted. Trudeau, son of another Liberal prime minister, Pierre Trudeau, promised his party will give Canada’s middle class – a term he was asked to define, and didn’t – opportunities, confidence and money in their pockets. “Investing in the middle class creates jobs and growth,” said Trudeau, who said both are crucial to balancing the budget. “That’s what made Canada successful in the ’90s.” Martin said Liberals get an influx of new talent every couple of generations, and called the more than two dozen candidates seated behind him “as strong an economic team as I have ever seen.” Trudeau said the group – including author Chrystia Freeland, running in the Toronto riding of UniversityRosedale, and former finance minister Ralph Goodale – will work to strengthen the middle class. How wasn’t clear, apart from abandoning what Trudeau called Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s “failed” plan “to make wealthy people wealthier, to give the most to those who need the least.” Harper’s long-time finance minister Jim Flaherty died last year. Trudeau said the prime minister governs as a “lone wolf,” and his “economic team can fit in a very small room.

T
hirty years ago this summer, Toronto lost its innocence when an eight-year-old girl named Nicole was abducted from her Etobicoke apartment building. Children didn’t walk to school alone anymore. Parents looked to strangers with suspicion and filled their kids’ heads with dire consequences if they dared roam carefree.
The first Nicole’s Run took place last week to mark the anniversary of Nicole Morin’s long-unsolved missing child case. Though a tragic story itself, the event focused on the positive, offering an opportunity to fundraise for the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (CCCP) and a chance to keep Nicole’s case – and those of other missing children – top of mind in the hopes of generating new leads. After 30 years, police insist hope still exists for answers. Shaun Narine, superour view intendent of Toronto Police 22 Division, told Metroland Media “As with any missing Be proactive Toronto: child, you never stop looking.” The case remains open and in protecting police have been working nonyour child stop since, trying to find some evidence that would help them solve the mystery. Tips are always welcome, no matter how seemingly insignificant or – perhaps by now, after all these years – fuzzy on detail they may be. Nicole’s Run also serves as a reminder that children shouldn’t be afraid, but instead should be taught to be vigilant about their own safety. Society is a much different place, it’s true, but as long as children and parents are educated, innocence need not be sacrificed. CCCP’s website www.missingkids.ca offers tips on child safety and points out that the traditional advice “don’t talk to strangers” is outdated and ineffective in reducing a child’s risk of abduction and victimization. It’s only in the rarest cases that children are abducted by strangers, and more often, child abductions are committed by people who are known to the child. Visit the site to learn more, including how to protect your child against offenders lurking on the internet. Teaching your children these safety tips in a fun way can make the difference between a child who fears the world, and one who stands confidently before it. Practice “what-if” scenarios and get your child’s friends involved. In honour of Nicole, her family and those families that continue to grieve the loss of their missing children, be proactive in protecting yours.

Reflections on Billy Bishop Airport

The Stingers will field teams next season from Rookie Ball (2008) to Junior (1995) and there are openings on all teams. Please go to www.scarboroughstingers.com for the dates and times of try-outs, as well as contact information for each team.

The Stingers are proud to offer players of all ages an exceptional development program that focuses on fun and fundamentals in a competitive rep baseball environment.
After having flown Porter Airlines for the first time this past weekend, there’s no doubt in my mind: Robert Deluce’s little airline flying out of the Billy Bishop Airport would benefit from a jet-sized runway. My trip to Boston and back ran late on both ends: going out, because the little turboprop Dash 8 I was to leave on was laid up with mechanical problems at another airport, and Porter couldn’t wrangle another aircraft in time. And then I bumped again – voluntarily, having missed my connection – because the plane needed to shed some passengers for the wet runway. Weather made for another delay on the way back. Big strong jets in Porter’s fleet would be a benefit, at least a benefit to travellers like me, trying desperately to keep their blood pressure in check as they miss connections and arrive home past bedtime. The question of what benefits – or more to the point impacts – jet aircraft will have on the city and its waterfront

david nickle the city remain open. In 2014, Toronto council decided to keep those questions open, resisting pressure from Porter and PortsToronto (the new name for the Toronto Port Authority) to give a preliminary OK to start work on extending runways and removing the ban on jet aircraft. Council sent the supplicants back to the drawing board before continuing the conversation. The conversation will be coming up again this year and next, and is getting ready to start, as a pair of reports from Waterfront Toronto and PortsToronto offer a checklist of measures to apply to public consultation, public health and the environmental assessment of the jet option. It is quite a list that points to the flaws in the fast-and-loose process so far. It will be interesting to see what council makes of the
plan when it comes forward this year, more than likely without the guidance of our mayor, who has a conflict of interest on the matter owing to his son’s employment at the airport. That will leave a similarly constituted council enjoying a similar level of autonomy to their predecessors in 2014, when former mayor Rob Ford was effectively out of the debate for different reasons. Assuming the proponents of the expansion take the time to get their ducks in a row, things could very easily tilt the other way. But late on Sunday night, riding the brand-new people mover back from the island through that just-opened pedestrian tunnel, I couldn’t help but think that another solution to the Porter dilemma is much simpler, at least on a personal level: next time I fly to Boston, take a TTC bus to Pearson. There are plenty of jets to choose from there.

The province’s police watchdog has stopped its investigation into a man’s fall from a Scarborough apartment building balcony. The Special Investigations Unit said two officers with the Durham Regional Police Service went to a fourth-floor unit at 3171 Eglinton Ave. E. in Scarborough to investigate a 39-year-old man for breaching his recognizance just after midnight June 24. According to the SIU, the officers remained outside the apartment door while the man went to get dressed. But instead of going back to the police officers, the man went onto the balcony to try to jump to the adjoining balcony. He fell in the process, suffering serious but non-lifethreatening injuries. The SIU had assigned six investigators to the case. On Tuesday, Aug. 25, the
SIU said it terminated the investigation because “the man’s injuries were not caused by any police officer.” of rescued dog faced with bill wowner
The owner of a dog rescued last week on the Scarborough Bluffs got his Doberman back, but not before paying a hefty bill. Firefighters retrieved the 10-month-old male dog from a cliff face the day after passersby noticed it was trapped there. The owner couldn’t be found, so Toronto Animal Services took the dog to its Progress Avenue shelter. The city would have put the pup up for adoption, but on Tuesday, Aug. 18, its owner managed to claim the dog. To r o n t o’s Mu n i c i p a l Licensing and Standards Division said he was charged a
total of $140 – $60 for a license (the dog was not neutered, or the fee would be $25), $40 for two days boarding and a $40 impound fee. program starts in September wBroadlands

Parks Canada hosts Moth Night in the Rouge >>>from page 1 night and have differently-shaped antennae – are also disappearing from Toronto. King speculated this was due to pesticides, some aimed directly as pests such as the gypsy moth, and to lights which continually attract moths, some of which live only for a few days. “If they keep flying to the light,
they won’t get to mate and lay eggs.” The “really spectacular” luna moth, “about the size of your hand and pale green,” has basically disappeared from Toronto, King noted. But tomorrow, the first Moth Night in Rouge Park should catch and release many moth species, including some the participants have never seen before.
Hosted by Parks Canada staff and guest experts from the TEA, the free event at Glen Rouge Campground begins at 7:30 p.m. After viewing educational displays, people can study live moths with a magnifying glass, or photograph them, starting at dusk. For more, go to www.pc.gc.ca/ eng/progs/np-pn/cnpn-cnnp/ rouge/ne/ne-8.aspx
Above left, the polyphemus moth can be found in Scarborough’s Rouge River Valley, along with the cecropia moth, right.

Lions CNE baseball tourney moves to new home DAVID GROSSMAN plv@insidetoronto.com Success is a good thing. That may be true in most cases, but it’s not for one of Canada’s longest running amateur baseball tournaments. At 59 years old, the Lions CNE Peewee Baseball tournament not only is experiencing growing pains and some concern for its future, but also the classic event was given the boot from its traditional home of some six decades. The 32-team single elimination tournament, drawing 12 and 13-year-old players from across Ontario, is no longer at its nostalgic ballpark site near the entrance of the Dufferin Gates of the Canadian National Exhibition. Gone is the park, too. When politicians and bureaucrats chose to house the new $30 million practice stadium for the Toronto Raptors next to the ballpark, that meant the familiar grassy site for competitive and recreational games was targeted to become a concrete parking lot. And so, the annual Lions CNE event got the heave-ho. Slam-
dunked right out of the CNE. For the first time, games are now at Coronation Park, which is on the south side of Lake Shore Boulevard, closer to Bathurst Street. It’s also the same spot once considered to be a relocation possibility for the CNE midway. “It’s unfortunate that we’re no longer at the CNE,” said Marv Pearl, who has been ballpark co-ordinator since 1985. “The teams still get (CNE) passes, but the crowds will likely just be families of players and people tell me it’s not the same. I really hope this event makes it to a 60th anniversary.” Moving the tournament, which is budgeted by the CNE, will likely cost more as electrical power at the Coronation Park site was insufficient. A generator had to be rented and other issues added to the list, but Pearl complimented Toronto Parks and Forestry staff for their superb work. Pearl said notable hockey legends Wayne Gretzky and Ken Dryden once played in the prestigious baseball tourney, believed to be the longest running attraction on the grounds of the CNE. That is, until this year. Cincinnati Reds slugger Joey Votto

also played when the event was behind the former Arts and Crafts Building, as did Josh Naylor, the
Miami Marlins first round draft pick this year. When the event started in 1956, East Riverdale won it and future distance runner Bruce Kidd, now in the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, was on that squad. The tourney was also predominantly for Toronto teams when it started, but the championship has gone to teams from Toronto specifically only 15 times. Scarborough Village, Don Mills and North York were among the championship local teams with Agincourt A’s being the last Toronto club to claim the title – and that was back in 2002. “Baseball was big back then, and while the Toronto Blue Jays have brought lots of attention to the game, we’re not getting as many top teams as in past and the numbers of players have dropped significantly,” said Pearl, who confirmed there is no entry fee and all players get an award. Participating this year from Toronto are the Etobicoke Rangers, North York Blues, Scarborough Stingers, East York Bulldogs, Royal York Cardinals and Leaside. The nine-day single elimination tournament started this past weekend
with the eventual finalists, playing for championship bragging rights on Sept. 3, needing to put together a string of five straight wins. Markham Mariners and the Newmarket Hawks, both having previously qualified for the National championship also taking place this week in Quebec, can still return to win the Lions CNE event having been seeded high and getting an automatic berth to second round games. In opening round games, East York defeated North York 10-5 in a double-A game while Scarborough beat Hamilton 5-1 in a triple-A game. Other games saw Pickering/ Ajax crush Peterborough, 8-2 and Mississauga North B thump Mississauga Majors 17-7. In action from Monday, Aug. 24, Oakville AAA beat Leaside AAA 9-3; the North York Minors beat Halton Hills AA 8-6; Vaughan AAA edged Aurora 5-3; Brampton #1 AAA beat Richmond Hill 7-2; Royal York A beat Halton Hills B 12-1; Pickering A beat Oshawa A 10-6; Welland B beat Leaside A 22-4; and Barrie A beat Niagara Falls 13-0. • Visit us at www.scarboroughmirror.com for tourney updates.

Food for everybody at Tamil Fest >>>from page 1 ness. “Ours is maybe nine out of 10. We’re used to eating hot.” Not that they can’t turn it down for a Western tongue, and some Tamil favourites do use mild curries. “I cater to everybody,” said Francis, whose restaurant is on Ellesmere Road. “Some people want to try some hot food, and they’re OK with that.” At Tamil Fest both restaurants will be selling their hoppers, bowl-shaped pancakes made of rice flour and coconut milk, and decidedly mild. At Hopper Hut, where owner Ragavan Thurairatnam said people fly in just to get them, the process of fermenting the batter without yeast takes two days, or maybe one day in summer. In combinations where one contains an egg, one is left plain for curry, and a third full of coconut milk, later dosed with sugar for dessert, hoppers can be any meal in Sri Lanka.

The Tamil Fest this weekend will include fare such as hoppers served plain, right, with an egg, left, and with coconut milk.
Hopper Hut is also selling snacks, including mutton rolls – spiced potato and mutton rolled and fried like a spring roll – plus fish buns, fish cutlets, and meat and vegetarian samosas. There are plenty of vegetarian options, actually: vegetable patties, veggie rolls with potatoes and mixed vegetables, masala dosas, seeni sambal buns packed with onion relish, and mothakum, a dessert dumpling stuffed with coconut, brown sugar
and green lentil curry. Raja, Thurairatnam’s nephew, said his uncle has seven sisters and all food at the restaurant is homemade. “It’s actually how they cook for us at home.” Francis is bringing both regular and “Asian” poutine, plus kothu roti, another popular dish that can be done with either a mutton or vegetable curry, an “Indianstyle” chicken or lamb kebab called a kati roll, and vada, a spicy doughnut in which he’ll incorporate a single fried shrimp. He’ll also sell kool, a traditional Sri Lankan hot and sour soup with flour from roots of palmyra, a species of palm tree. “We ate that back home, in the backyard,” in a coconut shell along with lime pickles, Francis recalled. Home-style kool uses a whole crab or squid or fish, but Francis said this kool will be a bit Westernized: no bones. Much more about the festival is at www.tamilfest.ca

The nearly $3.4 million announced Wednesday, Aug. 19, will be used over two fiscal years to upgrade operating room air handling systems at the Ellesmere Road campus, as well as to improve general air distribution, fuel oil distribution, and for masonry repair. Amelia McCutcheon, the hospital’s vice president of surgery, said operating rooms have to stay sterile and maintain continuous pressure. Proper control over air handling helps patients through long procedures, and is easier on sensitive pieces of equipment, she said.
“If it gets too hot, they don’t function well,” explained McCutcheon, adding the upgrades were being done to fix certain hospital systems before they break. “There’s a lifespan (for the system infrastructure). The lifespan has been reached.” Scarborough-Guildwood MPP Mitzie Hunter said the grants from Ontario’s Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF) were for “minor, yet critical” infrastructure improvements. “Of course, this will provide better patient care at the end of the day.” Hunter’s appearance was part of Premier Kathleen Wynne’s announcement the same day promising $125 million in HIRF grants to “renew critical infrastructure” at hospitals across the province, by spending on such things as roof repairs, air conditioning and back-up generators.
The ScarboroughGuildwood MPP made her presentation to the Central East Local Health Integration Network CEO Deborah Hammons and to RVHS CEO Andree Robichaud, who has been in her post for just three months. The grants cover part of the massive costs involved in maintaining the aging Centenary, which merged with the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital in 1998 and now has a total of 2,800 staff and employees at both sites. Centenary’s emergency department is considered too small and now serves more than twice the patients it was built to handle. The hospital’s application to have the department renovated is frozen while a provincial panel of experts studies the hospitals and community needs in Scarborough and West Durham.

KickStart gives kids a heads up in soccer skills Toronto FC helps launch the free, city-wide program CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com It was all about having fun at The Hangar at Downsview Park last Thursday where the full Toronto FC First Team came out to play soccer with more than 200 kids from 15 Toronto Community Housing communities across the city. “This is a lot of fun to be able to spend time with the kids and to see smiles on their faces,” said Michael Bradley, captain of the Toronto FC. He was joined by his teammates to launch the fourth year of KickStart, a free eightweek soccer program for youth aged six to 12. MLSE Foundation, in partnership with Toronto FC, Kia Canada Inc., and Toronto Community Housing launched

At left, Toronto FC Captain Michael Bradley, centre, signs autographs for kids during MLSE’s KickStart program launch at The Hanger at Downsview Park Thursday afternoon. This eight-week program helps teach basic soccer skills as well as leadership and fair play skills. Above, kids sing and dance during a warm-up.
KickStart, which hires staff and trains youth mentors from under-served communities to deliver the program. Bradley offered a couple of tips for the future soccer players as they went off into groups to practise basic skills of the game. “To enjoy it and to have
fun,” he said. Greg Spearn, interim p re s i d e n t a n d C E O o f Toronto Community Housing Corporation, agreed, encouraging the kids to just have fun playing the beautiful game. “This is the best part of my job,” said Spearn, who addressed the children at the
launch event. “I hope you have an amazing time this year.” Brothers Shayan, 11, and Shahvir, 10, were excited about meeting all the professional soccer players, especially Bradley, their favourite player. “The team captain really
shows leadership,” said Shayan, who also won a leadership award at his school near Victoria Park and Sheppard Avenue. Abdi, Ayub, and Mustafa from the Mabelle community in Etobicoke all agreed they like watching the Toronto FC because the players work as a
team. “They don’t hog the ball,” Abdi said. Mustafa added he liked playing soccer to be with his friends.

SAM JURIC sjuric@insidetoronto.com For the past 11 years, Lindsay Zier-Vogel has been wooing Torontonians through a series of love letters tucked away in airmail envelops and marked ‘Love’ for strangers and passersby to stumble upon. “I was with my friend at Trinity Bellwoods Park, writing love poems to the city. We happened to have envelopes and we decided to hide them,” said Zier-Vogel, and artist raised in Etobicoke who now lives in Bloor West Village. Phone booths, newspaper stands and bicycles are just some of the places the love letters to Toronto can be found. Zier-Vogel’s love lettering has swelled into a community engagement project that has stretched across the city and beyond. Since 2004, thousands of letters have

been written by residents confessing their affection for the city. The project hit the road in 2014 to celebrate its 10th anniversary in collaboration with DreamCatcher Mentoring for a three-city journey through Canada’s northern cities of Yellowknife, Whitehorse and Fort Smith. Most recently, the project connected with the Chester Subway Station Artist Stand to encourage people to appreciate the city. “I love when art intersects in your day and you can’t help but pause,” she said. During a love lettering event, Zier-Vogel recalls a three-year-old boy who wrote a letter to marigolds. It took a moment for ZierVogel to realize from the boy’s height and line of sight marigolds had a larger presence in the life of a child than it would for an adult. “It shows different perspec-
tives of the city. It makes me see it differently,” said ZierVogel. The Love Lettering Project will be partnering with the David Suzuki Foundation this fall as an extension of the Homegrown National Park Crawl event on Sept. 27 at Trinity Bellwoods Park. Lately, it is the Humber River and High Park which have been receiving heartfelt letters from Zier-Vogel who has recently become a mother and has been spending much of her time walking wither her six-month-old in the west end. The ultimate power of the Love Lettering Project is its abiltity to bring people together, she said. “Love lettering forms a connection with people you will never meet and that’s really special in a city as big as Toronto.” Check out http://loveletteringproject.com to learn more.

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. When you hear the siren you must Shelter In Place: 1. 2. 3.
4. 5.
Go inside. Close all doors, windows and openings. Shut off ventilation systems that draw outdoor air inside (fans, air conditioning units, clothes driers, furnace and close fireplace dampers). Turn on local radio and TV. Check social media and wait for further instructions. Keep phone lines free.
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. 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.
Next Community Siren Test: Monday, September 14, 2015 10 a.m. to noon
Toronto Fire Services will be participating in this live drill and responding accordingly. Lights and sirens will be visible and heard by the neighbouring community. For more information, please call the Community Information Line at (416) 287-4483.

transit TTC marks 30 billion transit trips wthe A major milestone was celebrated when it was announced this week the TTC has passed 30 billion transit trips. Long-time rider Grant Scott was chosen as the stand-in customer for the trip that was likely to have been made earlier in the month, according to the TTC. For the honour, Scott received a free monthly Metropass subscription for one year. Despite near-annual raises to fares, the TTC has seen steady increases in ridership for 11 straight years and will likely set another record for total trips taken in 2015. The 30-billion figure represents the number of trips taken dating back to the TTC’s inception in 1921. the TTC pondering TRAVEL ZONES? wisMULTIPLE Integration of the electronic fare system Presto with the TTC won’t be completed until the end of next year, but a prominent transit advocacy group, TTCriders,
rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT is concerned how it could affect suburban riders. Unlike the TTC’s current single-zone system, Presto users on services like GO Transit are charged higher fares based on the distance travelled. That has TTCriders worried the TTC, which relies on fares for 70 per cent of its revenue, might be enticed to establish multiple travel zones, which could impact Scarborough, Etobicoke and North York residents who must travel further on average to get to other areas of the city. EXPANDS TRIPS ALONG KITCHENER LINE wGO
GO Transit will boost off-peak rail trips on the Kitchener Line as of early September, the regional transit agency has promised. The move will mean 14 additional trips during the midday Monday to Friday between Union Station and Mount Pleasant GO Station
in Brampton. GO will also increase bus trips between the two destinations. The moves are part of 10-year expansion plan for the GO network which includes boosting the number of weekly trips on the Kitchener line from 80 to 250. THE SOUNDS OF TRANSIT wDOWNLOAD
Want the sounds of the TTC on your smartphone? You can now download ringtones imitating the transit commission’s most iconic alerts. A Reddit user posted notice of the ringtones that include the three-note opening and closing door chimes heard on subway trains, not to mention streetcar gongs and even the TTC’s “Boodle-oop...boop... boop” alert sounded before an announcement is made. You can download individual tracks or the entire TTC Tribute Ringtones album via Bandcamp.com Rahul Gupta is The Mirror’s transit reporter. His column runs every Thursday.

The mystery man will visit Tamil Fest, on Scarborough’s Morningside Avenue between Finch Avenue and Nielson Road Aug. 29 and 30 “from time to time,” the Canadian Tamil Congress announced this week. “One person who spots the mystery man and taps him on the shoulder, gets his name and puts it in the ballot box will win $500,” the group said. Organizers said the mystery man will attend the festival’s opening ceremony Saturday from 12:30 to 2 p.m., and added he is five-feet fourinches tall, 36 years old and weighs about 145 pounds.
Residents who spot the ‘Mystery Man’ at this weekend’s Tamil Fest could be eligible to win $500.

METHADONE Facelift for Heron Park SUBOXONE TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com
ADDICTION TREATMENT NEW CLINIC SCARBORO
416-332-0795 1939 KENNEDY RD.
Scarborough’s Heron Park got a fast-tracked facelift earlier this month. More than 200 volunteers came together at the park, completely transforming it in eight hours. The park’s old playground was replaced with all new equipment, that local children helped choose during a design event in June. The project was a group effort between Foresters, KaBoom, the City of Toronto, the Boys and Girls Club of East Scarborough and local community members. While adult volunteers built the playground structures, and children helped with activities including painting, a live DJ kept the party lively. A family fun zone also added to the action, with scavenger hunts and games. Volunteers took breaks to get silly, with challenges like catching Oreos in their mouths by shaking it off their foreheads. All the
while, people from the neighbourhood watched in anticipation as the new playground came together. “We had a lot of fun,” said Doug Bennet, from the City of Toronto’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation department. “It was fantastic. It was a really successful build.” Along with new equipment, including a triple-racer slide, a reading garden with a stage was added, as well as planters and more. The new park is also inclusive, with an accessible swing and playground area. More than 2,500 square feet of play space was created, with more than 16 kilograms of concrete mixed by hand and poured during the build, weighing more than three African elephants. The much-needed revamp saw the previous 25-year old park, with its metal slides that weren’t up to code anymore, and peeling paint and graffiti, turned into a place residents can be proud of. “The new playground is
more inviting for the community,” said Bennet. “There’s a great new place to play. I hope it means that the people who are playing there feel they have a sense of ownership over the space, because they have literally invested their time and energy into building it.” After the park was completed, Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders helped cut a special grand-opening ribbon that neighbourhood kids crafted. The anxious children had to wait a little longer to try out their new park, with its official opening Wednesday, Aug. 12, after the concrete dried. Heron Park is at 292 Manse Rd., beside the Toronto Public Library’s Morningside branch. It serves more than 30,000 children and their families. The collaboration with Foresters and KaBoom made its rebuild possible. “A community’s well-being starts with a child’s well-being,” said Tony Garcia, Foresters president and CEO.

Street Haven marks 50 years of helping women in need JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com
DEMONSTRATIONS • BIKE RODEO • KIDS ZONE • FALL FEST MARKETPLACE • LIVE MUSIC • FREE BIKE TUNE-UPS
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH, 10AM-4PM WARDEN HILLTOP COMMUNITY CENTRE
TORONTOEASTBIKEFESTIVAL.CA TEBIKEFEST@GMAIL.COM
A half a century ago, services available for homeless and atrisk women in Toronto were few and far between. That changed in 1965, when Street Haven at the Crossroads opened its doors, becoming the city’s first women’s shelter. Now poised to mark its 50th anniversary, the multi-service agency has become a leading light for women with nowhere else to turn. Anne Topp, Street Haven’s executive director, has lived on the streets and understands the need for services like the ones her agency provides. “I totally know what it feels like to have people look at you like you don’t exist,” she said. “People don’t understand the hardships so many women face that can lead to them
becoming homeless. They’re blamed for being lazy.” Street Haven was founded by the late Peggy Ann Walpole, a Toronto nurse who noticed that women who sought emergency hospital care due to being abused or dealing with addictions were typically treated and discharged within a matter of days, at which point they were forced to return to the lives that brought them to hospital in the first place. She rented out a room in the decrepit Atlanta Hotel in downtown Toronto, keeping it open as a drop-in centre. A few years later, with demand for Street Haven’s services peaking, Walpole purchased a home on Pembroke Street and expanded the agency’s offerings. Now, Street Haven provides shelter, meals, employment support, harm reduction programs and other social services, all of which
play a vital role in helping homeless and at-risk women work toward better lives. “It all begins with our 50-bed emergency shelter and more than 30 apartments of supportive housing, which means there’s someone there to provide the residents with support they may need,” Topp said. Street Haven’s services have provided a lifeline for countless women – in 2014 alone, there were 15,855 stays at its emergency shelter based on the City of Toronto occupancy report, and the organization served 76,440 fresh meals and 50,960 healthy snacks to women who would otherwise have gone hungry. To mark its 50th anniversary, Street Haven is hosting an open house and community barbecuee at 87 Pembroke St. from noon to 6 p.m. this Saturday. For more info, visit streethaven.com

Urban film fest could be in final year RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com
tor Sharon Switzer. Pattison Onestop, the company which has employed Switzer to organize TUFF as well as other artistic output appearing on advertising space it owns within the subway network, recently pulled the plug on its regular program Art in Transit which spotlighted various artists and themes relevant to the commuter experience.
Screening most of its silent, one-minute offerings on subway platform video screens, The Toronto Urban Film Festival ( TUFF) has provided a vehicle for aspiring independent filmmakers from all over the world. This year’s edition – which takes place at the same time as the headlines-grabbing Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) – is the largest in its nine years of existence and will feature work from over 40 countries, on a continuous loop every five minutes for nine days. And with 1.2 million people making use of Toronto’s subway system every day there’s a lot of potential eyeballs to take in original and striking compositions while waiting for the train. While TUFF has managed to score accolades for its unique format since its inception in 2006, this could be the last year for the festival, admits executive direc-
Try to keep going In an interview last week Switzer, who is leaving Pattison, said she was doing all she could to ensure TUFF lives on. “At this time the only thing we’re going to do is to try and keep TUFF going,” said Switzer. “I would personally love to be able to celebrate our tenth anniversary next year, but at this point we’re still working on it.” “There’s no guarantee (TUFF will continue), but we are working on it and we all want to continue.” Part of the issue with TUFF, according to Switzer, is its
relative anonymity in a city with as many film festivals as Toronto which is not helped by a lack of promotional resources. “To raise your profile means you have to have a huge marketing budget and we just don’t have that,” she said, declining to say just how much is spent for promoting TUFF or how much Pattison spends to put on the festival. The festival does receive government funding as well as from corporate sponsors in addition to Pattison’s contributions. The TTC doesn’t provide any funding and the subway video screens are owned by Pattison. “We’re just a tiny little festival but luckily we have a built-in audience and an amazing venue like the TTC and the support of Pattison. But still, without budget to do major marketing people are just not going to know about it,” said Switzer.

Bassoon band among performers at BuskerFest taking place in city JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com
155 Consumers Rd, Unit #101 ~ 416) 491-2227
Considering the name they’ve made for themselves busking at various venues throughout Toronto over the past few years, it is perhaps surprising that 2015 will mark Das Fagott Mannschaft’s inaugural stint at the city’s biggest busking event, the Toronto International BuskerFest for Epilepsy. Das Fagott Mannschaft (German for “The Bassoon Team”) consists of four bassoonists and a percussionist. As one might expect of a band devoted to one oft-overlooked instrument, the ensemble is notable for its quirkiness. “We’re a bassoon quartet with a bit of an edge to it,” said band member Catherine Magowan. The quartet met while studying music and decided to do something distinct with their talents in order to make a extra money as they
honed their skills. Rather than sticking to classical pieces, the ensemble plays an assortment of popular hits spanning a number of genres. Their repertoire touches on performers ranging from Irving Berlin to Nina Simone to Nirvana to Lady Gaga. “We cover songs going all the way back to Tin Pan Alley,” Magowan said. “A lot of people like our more modern covers…it’s not something you expect to hear coming from a bassoon quartet.” Of course, rearranging songs for four bassoons provides its share of challenges, particularly when trying to capture the sounds of other instruments. In the four years since the band mates came together, however, they have learned a few tricks. “It does get difficult, but we’ve learned to delegate and play off of each other’s strengths,” Magowan said. The softer sound typically associated with the bassoon
creates yet another obstacle for Das Fagott Mannschaft. “It can be a drawback because the sound (the bassoon) makes tends to blend with other sounds,” Magowan said. “It’s not an instrument that really lends itself to a solo – it’s always an instrument that people who play other instruments want accompanying them.” As for the band’s name itself, Magowan said its risqué tone – and its innocent meaning – suits Das Fagott Mannschaft’s sensibilities perfectly. “One of our dear friends suggested that name to us as a joke, but we took it,” she said. “It’s ‘bassoon’ in English and ‘basson’ in French, but in a lot of other languages, it’s ‘fagott.’ It’s definitely unexpected and it suits us as kind of an underground bassoon band.” The band plays Friday night and Saturday at BuskerFest.

Covenant House campaign fights sex trafficking JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com The issue of sex trafficking hits closer to home than many Canadians think. Covenant House Toronto, Canada’s largest homeless youth agency, is looking to raise awareness over the fact the problem is not confined to other nations, pushing the provincial government to come up with a more holistic plan to deal with the issue. “We think the province has done great work in this area, but there’s still more that could be done with law enforcement, supporting victims and public awareness,” said Bruce
Rivers, Covenant House executive director. “We’re appealing to the province for a more coordinated approach to dealing with the victims.” The downtown organization has released a video highlighting the problem, telling the story of a teen who falls in love with someone who winds up selling her for sex. The video is a dramatization of a real story and demonstrates the victims of sex trafficking are not necessarily at-risk or homeless youth. “There are misconceptions around it,” Rivers said. “Pretty well every time you have a conversation about it, people say ‘you’re talking internationally’ or ‘these aren’t our
“
We’re appealing to the province for a more coordinated approach to dealing with the victims.” –Bruce Rivers, Covenant House, executive director
kids,’ but that’s just not the case.” The issue of sex trafficking is particularly acute in Toronto. Between 2006 and 2011, more than half of Canada’s sex trafficking charges were laid in the city, with victims averaging 17 years of age and some being as young as 13. “You know if this is happening in Toronto, there’s
activity in Peel, in Durham, in York (region),” Rivers said. Covenant House Toronto has created an online petition and will send the signatures to Premier Kathleen Wynne in time for the resumption of the Legislature in September. While the issue is serious – and harrowing – there is some move-
ment in the fight against human trafficking. Toronto police’s human trafficking unit has stepped up its efforts in recent years and witnessed an increase in arrests of 360 per cent between 2013 and 2014. Covenant House is doing its part, too, creating a transitional housing program for up to seven young women looking to get away from being trafficked for sex. For more information on the issue of sex trafficking, including a link to the Covenant House video, visit www.covenanthousetoronto.ca/ homeless-youth/Sex-Trafficking To sign the petition, visit www. change.org/p/help-save-younggirls-from-sex-traffickers-3

Public health reported the first human case for a Toronto resident of West Nile Virus for 2015 Aug. 21. Staff file photo/LISA RAINFORD
First human West Nile case reported in city Toronto Public Health has reported the first human case of West Nile Virus of 2015. Lab confirmation indicated an adult resident in Toronto tested positive for the virus. Toronto Public Health will continue to investigate how the virus was contracted as the adult who tested positive had potential exposures in Toronto as well as outside of the city.
Toronto Public Health cautions residents to take preventative measures while outside including wearing long-sleeved shirts, socks and wearing mosquito repellent. Symptoms of the virus include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, body ache, skin rash and swollen glands and usually present themselves within 15 days
of being bitten. The risk of being infected with the West Nile Virus is low. In 2014, 10 positive mosquito pools and three human cases were reported to the Toronto Public Health. There have been no reports of positive mosquito pools so far for 2015. – Sam Juric

Budget surplus of $65 million anticipated by city finance staff
the ^
Booming real estate sales among contributing factors DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Booming real estate sales, enthusiastic parking-tag issuance and lucky investments are combining with low social service caseloads and salary savings to point Toronto in the direction of a $64.89 million surplus by the end of the year. That is the word from Toronto’s finance staff, who will be reporting to the Aug. 31 meeting of the city’s Budget Committee on the state of the city’s finances. The surplus – which is projected to be dramatically lower than the surplus reported at the end of 2014, of $190.592 million – is a result of some good fortune in the first half of the year, mitigated by some bad breaks unfolding in the latter half. Based on the good news,
the city is maintaining a higher surplus, or favourable net variance, of $97.291 million. Salary savings The city is riding high with excess land transfer tax revenues ($45.97 million by the end of June) and parking ticket revenues ($5.451 million) and investment income of $15.608 million. The city is also saving on salary and benefit under-expenditures and a lower caseload for employment and social services and capital and corporate financing along with lower social housing subsidies. The city is spending more, however, in transportation services, economic development, police and on solid waste management rebates. And revenue is down in various areas, from court services
to real estate and the Toronto Transit Commission. Staff are guessing that there will be another $10 million in land transfer tax revenue, but overall the surplus will come in at $64.89 million. Meanwhile, the city’s ratesupported services are taking a hit. Solid waste management, the Toronto Parking Authority and Toronto water are currently in the red, to the tune of $29.604 million. Solid waste has lost $13.363 million from delays: in residential building, in receiving stewardship funding, and lower tonnage of waste coming to the city’s Green Lane landfill. At the end of the year, those services should be over-spent by $4.741 million.

Working group looks into Toronto hosting 2025 World’s Fair JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With the buzz from the Pan Am Games having faded, Toronto councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam has her eye on a larger event for the city to host. Wong-Tam is part of a working group looking into the feasibility of Toronto making a bid for the 2025 World’s Fair (or Expo), pointing out that doing so would both showcase the city and serve as a catalyst for
more infrastructure development, much as the Pan Am Games made infrastructure upgrades necessary. “It can be a catalytic event that would help us revitalize the waterfront,” said the councillor, who noted the Port Lands would be an ideal site to host Expo 2025. “There’s no event bigger in the world than an Expo, and the anticipated audience in terms of Expo visitors here in Toronto is 40 million.”
She pointed out that because Expo pavilions are increasingly modular, they could be moved from the Port Lands to other areas of the city and converted into new community centres, libraries, daycares and other much-needed facilities. Wong-Tam added that there would be plenty of additional impacts beyond the tourism dollars and the boost to infrastructure. “We would get to define what Expo looks like, we would invite the international community to
participate and enjoy our city and we would build trade and cultural connections,” she said. Beyond that, the event would help speed up the naturalization of the Don River and could lead to additional housing – with associated transit benefits – in the Port Lands. Wong-Tam pointed to the fact that Expo ’67 in Montreal led to that city getting a subway and to the opening of Parc Jean Drapeau and that Expo ’86 in Vancouver led to the
Skytrain and a revitalization of False Creek as ways in which hosting the World’s Fair has benefited previous Canadian hosts. “Expo ’67 was really Montreal’s coming of age as a city,” she said. “Montreal and Vancouver wouldn’t be the cities they are today without hosting Expos.” At this point, talks surrounding a potential bid revolve mostly around the feasibility of hosting such an event.

Businesses would benefit from hosting major world event: BOT >>>from page 52 bid, however, Canada would have to rejoin the Bureau of International Expositions, a group of nations it has left under the current federal government. “Common themes at the World’s Fair are sustainability, agriculture, the food movement and eliminating hunger, and Canada has no presence there anymore,” Wong-Tam said. “This generation of Canadians no longer has a home in that global discourse.” Toronto Board of Trade president and CEO Jan De Silva said businesses in the city would stand to benefit immensely should Toronto host Expo 2025. She noted the Board of Trade supports the idea of both a World’s Fair bid and an Olympic bid. “When your focus is on a major world event, it’s an accelerator for getting major infrastructure projects going,”
Fridge Magnet Goes Here
she said. “One thing to look at would be connectivity. At Pearson International Airport, 60 per cent of the travelers are international and we only have the UP Express as a viable high-speed rail link between the airport and the city.” De Silva added that the World’s Fair and the Olympics would offer benefits that would be similar in some ways – notably by forcing the hands of governments to invest in Toronto – but different in others. “The Olympics might have a bit of a higher profile, but the World’s Fair takes place over a much longer duration (lasting several months),” she said. “They would both let the city showcase itself and they would both bring a lot of people to Toronto.” Toronto Arts Council director and CEO Claire Hopkinson said her organization is also excited about the opportuni-
ties hosting the World’s Fair would bring. As part of the working group looking into the viability of hosting the event, she said it would provide a strong platform for the city’s arts community. Beyond that, it would allow Toronto to shine on the global stage. “We have such a liveable, beautiful and creative city with such a vibrant community of artists,” she said. “Expo looks into the future at issues like our use of water, the environment, technology and the role creativity plays in dealing with those issues.” She added that Toronto excelled in hosting the Pan Am Games, with the longrunning Panamania arts showcase highlighting what artists – many of whom were from the city – have to offer.

She’s auditioning for the second time for a spot with the 2015 TTC Subway Musicians during the opening weekend of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). As she straps on her purple guitar and begins to strum to the chords of I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For by U2 she finds her groove. Her persona transforms from shy and quiet to a booming voice with a sweet edge that embraces the stage with a visible desire to share her voice with people. “I’ve never wanted to sing so much as I do this time,” she said. “I’m getting older. I’ve had a few strokes and it just really makes you appreciate your gifts.” She first tried to be a subway musician out three
years ago and was able to secure one of the 75 spots available, and she’s hoping to do the same again this year. “It’s just a really wonderful way to make a living,” she said. “I go out every day and I get to cheer people up.” The auditions are a threeday event that happens every three years with more than 175 musicians vying for 75 spots. Documentary Epp was featured as one of the five homeless Torontonians in the Hot Docs film by Shelley Saywell called The Lowdown Tracks, “Since the doc came out in May, I’ve been going through some major learning curves and I’m adjusting to being a bigger person,” she said. Epp, 58, lives in Riverdale with her husband who is a source of moral support, she said. “We’ve been together five years and we’re more stable than we’ve ever been,” she said. “It’s all I’ve been praying
for since we got here.” Playing her guitar and singing in the subway has been Epp’s full-time gig for the past three years. It’s become a confidence builder, as well as a tool to help her get over her stage fright, she said. She performs covers as well as her own material. By the time her three-year run is over, she has sung at 25 subway stations at all hours of the day. She said her favourite station to play is SheppardYonge because she’s always done the best there. But singing in the subway in general is what she likes most about the gig. “I love the people and I love the acoustics. I love when nobody’s there and the sound is just slapping back at you,” she said. “In some stations, like at Queen’s Park, just singing up the stairwell is an incredible experience. I love that.” Musicians who auditioned for this year’s TTC Subway competition will find out if they’ve been selected in the coming weeks.

Toronto Police believe two suicides may be connected to the leak of customer profiles from the website Ashley Madison. Acting Staff Supt. Bryce Evans appealed to the hacking community for help in identifying those responsible for releasing the adultery website’s entire client list of more than 30 million people worldwide. “This is a unique situation that has caused enormous social and economic fallout,” Evans said during a news conference Monday. “Do the right thing and reach out to us.” Toronto-based Avid Life Media, which operates Ashley Madison, is offering a $500,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and prosecution in the case. Evans said that on July 12 several Avid Life employees had a threatening message appear on their computer
screens accompanied by the AC/DC song Thunderstruck. The post ordered Avid Life to immediately and permanently shut down the Ashley Madison site as well as the Established Men website, which connects young women with successful men. “The person or persons who posted this threat identify themselves as the Impact Team,” Evans said. “The consequences for not complying as noted in this threat would be the release of Ashley Madison and Established Men client lists, including their names, client profiles and credit card data.” Avid Life began an internal investigation, hired a private investigation company and secured the services of Cycura, a firm established by leading cyber security experts. On July 19, the Impact Team released information on two Ashley Madison clients, one in Mississauga and the other in Brockton,
Massachusetts. On Aug. 17, the suspects released the entire Ashley Madison client list along with a message titled Time’s Up. A third message, received last Thursday, taunted Avid Life CEO Noel Biderman: “Hey Noel, you can admit...it’s real now.” The message was accompanied by the release of his emails. Evans said the actions of the hackers are clearly criminal. “This hack is one of the largest data breaches in the world,” he said, adding the hack has sparked spin-off crimes and further victimization, including “two unconfirmed reports of suicides.” Criminals have engaged in online scams by offering to erase customer profiles from the database for a fee. “In addition, there are confirmed cases of criminals attempting to extort Ashley Madison’s clients by threatening to expose that they’re on a list unless payment is received,” Evans said.

Toronto Zombie Walk is dead due to lack of funding Organizers hosting funeral and wake on Saturday HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com A bullet has been put through the brain of the Toronto Zombie Walk & Halloween Parade as organizers have cancelled the popular undead event due to lack of funding. “We’ve been doing it for a dozen years and it’s sad, but it might be time to move onto new projects,” said Stefania Zanini, chief spokesperson for the volunteer-run event. The group lost about $10,000 in grants from various provincial tourism agencies and despite crowdfunding efforts, it just wasn’t enough to keep the event alive. “Not getting that grant just put our threshold of what we could handle as volunteers beyond our capabilities,” she said. “We already do a lot of fundraising, but this would be
a massive undertaking.” Zanini said she believes the reason why the walk didn’t receive funding this year is because “the funds just ran out.” The cost to run a successful Zombie Walk, Zanini told The Mirror, is between $40,000 to $50,000, which covers the administrative costs such as road closures, city permits, insurance as well as payment for bands that show up to provide live entertainment. Last year the walk managed to corral 15,000 zombies to groan and moan down the streets of Toronto. “If that’s the way we end, that’s a beautiful way to end, with 15,000 people sharing a common interest and a walk,” Zanini said. Zanini still doesn’t know if the walk will return next year, should they get more funding and enough sponsors.
“There’s always a chance,” she said. If it does return she still wants to stay true to the event mandate to keep it a free event. “Most of the sponsors who want to come in, want to charge money,” she said. “That’s why we’ve always gone with small sponsors who are really loyal and really wonderful about respecting our goal to create a free event.” To honour the cadavers that have swarmed the streets of Toronto for the past 12 years in cringe-worthy zombie makeup and bloodsoaked attire, there will be a funeral and a wake for the event Aug. 29. “We’re hoping it will be a celebration and a reflection,” she said. The funeral will be held at The Royal Theatre, 608 College St., at noon. Zanini tried to host the funeral in Trinity Bellwoods Park, the original location of the zombie walk, but had issues with getting permits
from the city. She said the city feared 15,000 zombies would show up at the park and that it wouldn’t be able to handle that kind of turn out. “It’s a valid concern and I understand their fear, but that won’t happen. Our zombies are pretty respectful,” she said. She said if the Zombie Walk is put to rest for good, the
city will wholeheartedly miss the event because it brought people of all races and backgrounds together. “What I saw, in my six years as a volunteer, was this creation of family, of 15,000 sharing a walk,” she said. At the funeral, zombies will have a chance to contribute mementos of their favourite Zombie Walk memories to a
time capsule. As a bonus thank you, the first 100 people to put something in the capsule will receive free entry into the Canadian National Exhibition where the wake will be held. Full Zombie attire is encouraged.

Personal Prayer To The Holy Spirit Our Mother of Perpetual Help
Holy Spirit Thou make me see everything and show me the way to reach my ideal. You who give the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank You for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from You no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with You and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory. Amen. Person must pray this 3 consecutive days without stating one’s wish. After the 3rd day your wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Promise to publish this as soon as your favor has been granted.
