Canada Day celebrations slated Hospital panel’s work raising local concerns For many years now, Canada Day events in Scarborough could be counted on not to change much, but that too may be changing. For the 48th year, the area’s main celebration returns to Thomson Memorial Park on Brimley Road from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. As usual, it starts with a free pancake breakfast, and there will be buskers, bouncy inflatables, a craft show and

seniors playing slo-pitch and other entertainment. About the only things different, organizers say, is the addition of an aboriginal blessing during the 11:35 a.m. opening ceremony, and the Great Canadian Express Train Ride, an electric-powered ride around the park. Scarborough’s annual Canada Day parade begins, as ever, at 4 p.m. west of Scarborough Civic Centre on Brimley, and ends at

Lawrence Avenue East at about 5:30 p.m. The Scarborough Museum, open 10 to 5 p.m. at the south end of the park, has activities throughout the day, including a salsa dance workshop, a pie-eating contest and karaoke (“Sing your Heart out for Canada!”) as well as cupcakes while they last. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Canada’s flag, museum >>>PARADES, page 42

NHLers at tourney

Racing legend visits

Staff photo/DAN PEARCE

INDY MEMORIES: Racing legend Mario Andretti autographs Bert Kallio’s poster at Redline Automotive in Scarborough during a vist last week.

Wayne Simmonds of the Philadelphia Flyers will definitely feel right at home in Scarborough Gardens Arena where he is hosting his Fourth Annual Wayne’s Road Hockey Warriors Charity Ball Hockey Tournament this Saturday. During his youth rep career, he played for three organizations – the East Enders, Aces and Jr. Canadiens – and estimated playing “at least 50 to 60 games there.” This time around the 26-year-old forward will be bringing plenty of fellow NHLers and pros who have volunteered to come in for the day, which is being presented by SportChek and sponsored by Bauer, McDonald’s, Porter Airlines and the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA).

Waiting for them will be the biggest contingent of youth yet – more than 100 – who have been invited to this year’s tournament. The youth are placed on 10 teams and play a round robin format tournament with semifinals and final games. In addition to the thrill of meeting NHL players and having one behind the bench coaching them for at least one game, the participants will take home new equipment, including a helmet, hockey gloves and stick from the NHL Players Association (NHLPA) as well as an overnight bag and water bottle from Bauer. As well, Wayne’s Warriors will sponsor an additional couple of youngsters by paying next season’s club

fees with all their equipment supplied by the NHLPA. The day kicks off at 8 a.m. and closes out with the celebrity game at 3 p.m. The public is invited both to the celebrity game and to attend during the day. It’s all free of charge. “We also have a lot of different activities going on outside (the arena),” said Richia McCutcheon, President of Wayne’s Road Hockey Warriors. The public can also help out the cause primarily through “a huge assortment of raffles” and by buying Wayne’s Warriors merchandise. For more on the story and Wayne Simmonds’ thoughts on returning to Scarborough Gardens Arena, visit Scarboroughmirror.com

Residents view ‘theme park’ of local transit plans MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com For a few hours, Scarborough’s Winston Churchill Collegiate was host to a theme park of Toronto transit planning. It wasn’t just corridors and alignments for a Scarborough subway, the $3.56-billion Bloor-Danforth extension Scarboorugh voters seemed to want so much, that residents were asked to comment on. They were also asked to look at SmartTrack, Mayor John Tory’s commuter rail plan, and pick options for an Eglinton West corridor starting from far-away Mount Dennis. The city and TTC also asked for their views on possible routes for the stillunfunded subway relief line from Danforth Avenue to the

downtown. If that wasn’t enough, they could speak their minds about the Eglinton Crosstown light-rail transit line, under construction now and heading to Scarborough, or on the Shepppard East LRT, which, though delayed, is still funded and planned. “We need to get public reaction to what we are doing,” James Perttula, a city transportation planning manager told a few dozen people in the school library on Monday, June 22, evening. The city combined consultations for several projects because it wanted residents to know the choices Toronto will make are interconnected, he said. Routes for the three-stop Scarborough extension, which must start at Kennedy Station

and end up at McCowan Road and Sheppard Avenue, are at least down to three possible corridors. One, still the frontrunner, is the McCowan – which could include a fourth station at Eglinton Avenue and Danforth Road if Toronto council agrees to pay $285 million more. Bellamy corridor A rival route takes Midland over to McCowan, but choosing it would close the Scarborough Rapid Transit line for three years. Another remaining choice is the Bellamy corridor, which planners said only makes sense if if it connects to the Scarborough GO Station, and which would cost $600 million more. Residents can go to scar-

boroughsubwayextension.ca to record their comments on the extension online. The route and stations are expected to get final approval by the middle of 2016, and to be running by 2023. University of Toronto Prof. Eric Miller is meanwhile helping the city complete a new transportation planning model which staff said would give them a richer, more accurate view of travel in the city. The new model looks at all trips people take in a day, a lunch meeting or grocerystore errand included, and five different time periods, compared to the morning peak time the current model examines. But after listening to Perttula’s presentation, Ralph van Putten, a veteran of decades of public infra-

structure consultations in the city, said Miller is indeed an expert, but none of the subway corridors will serve enough transit users. “They’re blowing smoke,” Van Putten said about the consultations. “Eglinton is where the people are. Eglinton is where the usage is going to be.” Of course, it will be Toronto’s councillors, and not planners, who choose where the extension will go. Scarborough-Rouge River Councillor Chin Lee said he prefers the McCowan route, “because I believe it serves the most people.” He didn’t think it would be too close to SmartTrack. “When I look at other cities, subways are close to each other,” Lee said. “I don’t think it’s a major problem.” T h e a d vo c a c y g ro u p

TTCriders said chosing between a Midland, McCowan or Bellamy alignment, “is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.” In a release handed out at Monday’s meeting, the group charged the city’s consultations on a Scarborough Subway “are based on a hasty, ill conceived plan” for an extension SmartTrack could make redundant. Two Scarborough politicians, Ontario Economic De ve l o p m e n t Mi n i s t e r Brad Duguid and Toronto Economic Development Chairperson Michael Thompson, say they will lead a provincial task force on maximizing the extension’s business return, but have released no details.

Helping diverse businesses in Toronto a win-win

Write us

uilding an environment where Toronto’s immigrant entrepreneurs succeed is just good business sense. And the City of Toronto, through an enhanced procurement policy, has an opportunity to improve outreach and to really tap into the talents of immigrant entrepreneurs. In this month’s exclusive feature on pages 34 and 35, we take an in-depth look at the experience of the immigrant entrepreneur in Toronto. Being an entrepreneur can be a struggle. Being a newcomer to Canada can be a struggle. Put those experiences together and one our view can imagine the complications. Later this year, city counEnsure equal cil is expected to consider being called a Social opportunities what’s Procurement Framework, one for newcomers that provides “diverse businesses with equal opportunities to share in the city’s growth and prosperity.” Among the possible features: more online posting of smaller contracts (under $50,000), actively soliciting bids on projects below $10,000 and more education on how to respond to documents such as Request for Proposals (RFPs). Concentrating on the many talents newcomers could bring to our economy can only build a stronger city. Nearly half of Toronto’s residents are foreignborn. Sound policy reflects a community’s make-up. But even so, such a policy must be complemented with more outreach to ethnic business groups – to help dispel the perception in some quarters that there is an uneven playing field when it comes to municipal procurement and also to remove some of the mysteries around dealing with government. A flourishing entrepreneurial environment means new jobs and a better overall economy. It can also mean less reliance on social supports. Last November, we listed a number of items Mayor John Tory needed to make a priority during his tenure. Diversity – which included the issue of procurement – was one of them. There’s an opportunity to establish this as a priority, to craft policy that is inclusive, reflective of the community and beneficial to its citizens. Visit insidetoronto.com/diversity for coverage on this issue as well as other stories from Toronto’s diverse neighbourhoods.

Making every day count this summer Everything from Dora to donuts on my to-do list The season’s off and running and me right along with it doing my best to try and keep up. Here are a few of the highlights of my summer things to-do list. 1. Get my face painted at the first big family festival and park myself at the back of the long line to meet Dora The Explorer. 2. Take a selfie with Dora – if I somehow make it to the front of the line before the festival ends. 5. Ride a roller coaster at Canada’s Wonderland that I’ve never had the courage to go on before. 6. Unless it has one called the Inverted Twisted Plunge Into The Abyss. 12. Bounce up – and hopefully down – on a trampoline. 13. Once each only, if I

somehow manage to pull it off. I wouldn’t want to push my luck. 20. Play my first game of beach volleyball down by the boardwalk. 21. Take a selfie with Gidget and Moondoggie while I’m there. 26. Head to the zoo and make a point of checking out the animals on either side of the panda exhibit this time and apologize for ignoring them during all my other visits. 30. Glue myself to the TV set Saturday for Canada’s quarter-final match at B.C. Place in Vancouver in the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015. 31. Daydream occasionally about Canada making it all the way to the finals. 32. On second thought, make that frequently. 48. Go to the Rogers Centre for the Red Sox/Blue Jays game on Canada Day to see Don Cherry throw out the first pitch to the Jays’ Josh Donaldson.

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY 49. Catch the Canada Day fireworks somewhere in town that night. 54. Lie in hammock. 55. Tell the truth in a hammock. 56. Take a selfie of me telling the truth in a hammock. 62. Drop by for an evening of Shakespeare in the Park. 63. Make Shakespeare break into a grin when I tell him I call him Willy for short. 64. Take a selfie of the two of us, of course. 71. Head down to the Ex to inhale a Tiny Tom Donut or two. Or three. Or 12. 72. Then one last one for the road, of course. 73. And one last one for the street. And one last one for the crescent. And last one for the cul-de-sac. And one last one ...

84. Memorize the lyrics to OK, Blue Jays. 95. Learn the names of all the events of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games. 96. Repeat them to Pachi – the official mascot of both – in order of how they appear on the schedule. 97. Take a selfie of the two of us. 98. Then take a selfie with Pachi and Dora The Explorer. 99. Ah, what the heck, since it sounds like I’m going to be on a roll by then, see if I can get Willy, Grapes, Donaldson and the entire Canadian women’s soccer team to join in the picture, too. 100. Truth be told, it won’t actually be a roll. It’ll be another Tiny Tom donut. Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much.

Annual Taste of Lawrence Pan Am torch makes festival set for July 3 to 5 stops across Scarborough Festival for foodies features 130 street vendors

“

ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

Organizers are expecting 150,000 visitors to this year’s Taste of Lawrence, a three-day festival that celebrates culture through food and music. The event takes place on Lawrence Avenue between Wa r d e n Av e n u e a n d Birchmount Road and runs from 6 p.m. July 3 to 7 p.m. July 5. “People from all over Scarborough will come to this event, and it’s a great way for our local business members to network with that greater community,” event manager Bruce Scavuzzo said. “These businesses are not just making sales that day, but in fact are gaining customers who will come back repeatedly throughout the year.”

over the globe.” The festival features more than 130 street vendors, midway rides and live music. Instrumental music group Sultans of String will perform at 3 p.m. July 4 while Messenjah, one of Canada’s most successful reggae bands, performs at 9:30 p.m.

Now it’s Scarborough’s largest single street event. – Bruce Scavuzzo

The festival was founded 1 2 y e a r s a g o by Wa rd 37 Scarborough-Centre Councillor Michael Thompson and a group of community members with the aim of attracting visitors to a stretch of Lawrence, which now falls under the Wexford Heights BIA. The first event was held in a parking lot and attracted more than 1,000 people. “Now it’s Scarborough’s largest single street event,” Scavuzzo said. “We have 37 food vendors. ... We have representation of food from all

free admission “In addition to all the great music on the main stage, we also have a family stage that’s focussed more specifically on children,” said Scavuzzo, adding there will also be “meet and greets” with various children’s characters. Admission is free.

Mike Adler madler@insidetoronto.com The Pan Am torch takes a tour of Scarborough on July 5, and like many athletes at the Games, it will be moving awfully fast. A s To r o n t o’s G a m e s approach, its torch run will spark celebrations next Sunday as it makes its way through the area. The largest – where the flame will ignite a portable cauldron representing the Games – is a party outside the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, on Morningside Avenue south of Hwy. 401, from noon to 4 p.m. There will be family activities, food trucks, and entertainment – including an appearance by Scarborough native Maestro Fresh Wes – as well as the creation of a “live community art mural.” The torch will also visit the

Toronto Zoo, where it will be carried from the courtyard inside the front entrance to Waterside Theatre by Max Domi, named Best Forward of the World Juniors Hockey Tournament in January after Canada won gold. “Representing your country at a sporting event of this magnitude is an incredible accomplishment and I congratulate every athlete who will be participating in the Toronto 2015 Games,” Domi, who will be signing autographs for an hour after the ceremony, said in a release. Children will also be able to make their own Pan Am torches before the ceremony at a craft area near the zoo entrance. The torch, carried or driven, will also reach Scarborough’s Variety Village on Danforth Avenue for a fiveminute celebration at 10:54 a.m. before sprinting north

to L’Amoreaux Community Centre on McNicoll Avenue for another five-minute stop around noon. It will soon make its way west to the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto on Sheppard Avenue at around 12:55, before arriving at the zoo at 1:18 p.m., for 10 minutes. Later, the torch will reach University of Toronto Scarborough, and the Aquatic Centre, where the run will pause from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m. By 5:39 p.m., however, the torch will be at Don Montgomery Community Centre on Eglinton Avenue, for a five-minute stop. Learn more about the Games, which start on July 10, at toronto.ca/panam2015.

City approves changes to Guild Inn agreement Toronto councillors have approved changes to a deal that would see both the city and a private operator pay more to revive Scarborough’s historic Guild Inn. Having tried twice unsuccessfully before to re-open the damaged Inn through

partnership with private operators, the city signed a sub-lease last year with Dynamic Hospitality and Entertainment Group in April 2014. Dynamic planned to expand on the original Bickford Residence in Guild

Park, but its negotiations with the city, which hoped construction would begin this year, have taken longer than expected. Part of the delay involves the cost of improving city services for the property, and who’s paying for them, Scarborough East Paul Ainslie confirmed. The Inn, he said, is unique, owned by the city but leased from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in the middle of a park. Earlier this month, Sam D’Uva, Dynamic’s president, told The Mirror progress had been made, and all outstanding issues with the city could be resolved soon.Ainslie said negotiations on a site plan, the final agreement between the parties, “have been going very well.”

Tory needs to leave community council’s speed limit ruling alone

ne might choose to look at the Toronto and East York Community Council’s move to slow down traffic in the city core as a bit of a retaliation. The June 22 vote came just a few weeks after Toronto councillors not in the Toronto and East York Community Council area voted to rebuild the eastern part of the Gardiner Expressway in the middle of it, against the wishes of every councillor elected there. So there is something of a statement in this vote: anyone who wants to drive on one of the city core’s well-treed, compact little residential streets will have to slow down now: what was 40 kilometres an hour is now 30 kilometres an hour. As retaliations go, this one’s fairly benign. Slower speeds on residential streets will almost certainly

david nickle the city result in fewer deaths and serious injuries from collisions between cars and pedestrians and cyclists. But it is also an historic exercise of power. Not this time. The reduction of speed limits will cost more than $1 million to implement, and it will have a lasting, if incremental, impact on a vast and contained area of the city. Toronto and East York has, in making this decision, effectively treated itself as not just a community, but a municipal jurisdiction all its own. Council could squash it all eventually – at some point, at least part of that $1.1 million bill will have to come before the budget committee and council for its 2016 allocation. On June 23, however, Mayor John Tory indicated

to reporters that although he disagreed with the decision, he wasn’t going to do anything to mess with it. That is a sensible retreat for a couple of reasons. First: the community council move may play as retaliation, but it is also a good public response to the rash of cyclist deaths that have helped define the late spring of 2015 in the city core. Getting into a pedantic fight over the best way to manage pedestrian safety in local councillors’ wards is a losing battle for a mayor, and also for other councillors. And second, it does Tory no good to get into a fight over safety with the 12 downtown councillors, whose constituents largely voted for Tory in 2014. It is a long ride to 2018, but even at this slightly reduced speed — it’s not that long.

the scarborough mirror tackles a local issue

our exclusive look

Agincourt robbery took the life of Brink’s guard Larry Roberts in 1980 ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

olice hope a $50,000 reward and a new composite sketch will help them solve a 35-year murder in Scarborough. Police said two Brink’s armoured car guards were shot, one fatally, after they were ambushed while delivering a “substantial amount of money” to the Toronto Dominion bank at Agincourt Mall (3850 Sheppard Ave. E.) April 24, 1980. Larry Roberts, 29, a married father of a baby boy, was shot in the chest at close range and died in hospital. The other shot guard, Theodore Montgomery, eventually recovered. A third guard remained in the truck and wasn’t hurt. Both surviving victims, however, have since passed away. Det. Mary Vruna of the homicide squad said the guards loaded several money bags onto a cart after arriving at the mall at 1:23 p.m. Roberts and Montgomery then proceeded into the mall where three men, two armed with handguns and the third armed with an automatic rifle, accosted them. Two suspects opened fire on the guards and grabbed the bags of money before fleeing into a nearby library with their accomplice, who was firing shots into the ceiling. “All three suspects ran through the library and exited the rear door,” said Vruna, adding the suspects then fled in a green car. The suspects are believed to have ties to Quebec, Ontario and

Larry Roberts was killed in a 1980 Brink’s truck hold-up as he was delivering cash to a bank.

the Prairies. Two vehicles linked to the murder were later recovered. The blue 1975 Ford Gran Torino and the green 1977 Oldsmobile Delta were both stolen from the Montreal area while their licence plates were stolen from the Ottawa area. Other leads led police out west. During a Friday morning news conference at police headquarters, Vruna released an age-enhanced sketch of a suspect and announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. “The suspects in this investigation were sophisticated and knew what they were doing,” Vruna said. “I believe that it had to be planned out given the fact that they were there at the time of the delivery.” Although the suspects were wearing disguises, witnesses were able to provide detailed descriptions of them. “A composite of one of the suspects was created at the time,” said

Vruna, adding that sketch has now been enhanced to reflect what he may look like today. The Centre of Forensic Sciences recently reviewed evidence gathered from the crime scene and developed DNA profiles, including one of a female. But those profiles, said Vruna, haven’t yielded “any actionable results as of yet.” “We believe that the persons responsible have done this type of robbery and murder before and since,” Vruna said. “We are looking at past individuals who have been previously arrested for similar offences across Canada and possibly in the U.S.” Police have been in touch with Roberts’ widow, Sharon, who still resides with her son. “It’s a bit of a bittersweet time for her. It stirred up some new emotions,” Vruna said of contacting Sharon about the news conference. “She’s pleased to hear that her husband’s murder is still being investigated. Although her hus-

band has been lost, he’s not been forgotten.” One suspect was described at the time as white, in his 40s, 5’6” to 5’7” tall, 150 to 160 pounds with a stocky build (not fat), a full face, dark heavy eyebrows, dark medium-length hair (possibly a wig) and a dark moustache with traces of grey. He was clean-shaven and wore sunglasses, a dark coloured fedora and a beige trench coat. He was neatly dressed with a shirt and tie and dark coloured dress shoes and was armed with a short automatic weapon. Another suspect was white with a dark complexion, 25 to 30 years old, 5’10” to six-feet tall, 160 pounds with a medium build, black bushy unkempt hair extending below the ears and a dark bushy moustache. He wore tinted glasses and a dark coloured English-style peak cap and was armed with a handgun. The third was white with a dark complexion, in his late 20s or

early 30s, 5’11” to six-feet tall, 180 pounds with dark brown or black hair combed straight down at the sides (covering parts of the ears), a moustache and a slight beard (not heavy). He wore olive green coveralls (similar to those worn by mechanics), sunglasses, gloves and a grey English-type peak cap and was armed with a handgun. “With the passage of time, someone may feel remorse and may want to come forward with information that they have been keeping to themselves for the past 35 years,” Vruna said. “It’s important not only to the families, but it’s important to the role of the Toronto Police Service and the homicide squad that we continue to investigate these crimes and send a clear message to any suspects out there that they may not be able to get away with it no matter how old the murder is.”

Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477 or Vruna at 416-808-7409.

The TTC plans to have almost half of its subway stations outfitted with Presto card readers as early as next month. By July, green Presto readers – nicknamed “nosejobs” by the TTC for their protruding nature – will be installed on subway turnstiles in 27 stations which riders can “tap on” with the fillable smartfare card to gain entry. The TTC also plans to install station fare gates, which will allow for barrierfree access to the subway via a Presto tap. About 1,000 fare gates are planned, but the TTC presently only has funding for half that amount. Presto is scheduled for complete integration on the TTC by late 2016.

Three-hundred and seventysix people endorsed an online petition seeking city funding for relocating the TTC Humber Loop transfer point south and creating a direct, dedicated streetcar rightof-way between St. Joseph’s Hospital and Exhibition Place. Our Place Initiative (OPI) hoped to get 500 names supporting the plan which is currently under study by the TTC following a city council decision from March. The group believes the plan will greatly improve streetcar service between Etobicoke and downtown. The TTC is supposed to report on the feasibility of the proposal before the start of the 2016 budget process. Rahul Gupta is The Mirror’s transit reporter. His column appears on Thursday.

You take pride in your home and ensure it is comfortable and inviting. Crystal Bath understands this. Being a truly familyowned and operated business, Crystal Bath takes the same pride in their quality workmanship, as you do in your home. Husband and wife team, Mario and Ann Scala, are President and Vice president of Crystal Bath. Mario has been a licensed tiler since the age of 17 and Ann has a background in sales. Almost 21 years ago in 1991, Mario and Ann embarked on creating their own kitchen and bathroom renovation business and haven’t looked back. To make the family-owned and operated story complete, Mario and Ann’s son, Chris, recently joined the business as a licensed plumber. Crystal Bath specializes in complete and partial kitchen and bathroom renovations

and ensure that not only are all their employees licensed and insured but they have been practicing their trade for a minimum of 10 years. This way, Crystal Bath can hire the best tradesmen and go out of their way to keep them. “Everyone is really experienced,” explains Ann. “We keep our people. Our employees are qualified and happy.” Whether it is tiling, painting or electrical work, you can be assured that all jobs completed by the Crystal Bath team are of superior quality. They have also recently added licensed plumbing services to better accommodate all their customers’ needs. Their plumbing vehicles are available seven days a week and can be dispatched for any emergency situation. The greatest testament to any company is word of mouth referrals and repeat customers. This is how Crystal Bath has successfully grown their business. Along with client testimonials, Crystal Bath has been recognized for the last three

years as the best in kitchen and bathroom renovations by readers of the Scarborough Mirror newspaper. Their workmanship is guaranteed to be completed on-time and on-budget. The Crystal Bath team will provide professional advice on design and function, whether it is of a contemporary or traditional design. Their team will work with you to provide the best solutions to accommodate your needs and budget. Crystal Bath accommodates all homeowners, including first time owners, but they also have a special understanding of the aging population and their special needs. They love to take on projects like retrofitting bathrooms with amenities such as walk-in bathtubs and showers. “We are fair with seniors,” says Ann. “We take care of the older generation.” For your at home free kitchen and bathroom quotation call Crystal Bath at 416-261-6199 or go to www.crystalbath.ca for more information.

Blanding’s turtle released last year in Rouge Park survives Life’s tough for young turtles, but at least one of 10 Blanding’s turtles released last year in Rouge Park survives. And now 21 other Blanding’s have joined it. Staff from Rouge Park, and the Toronto Zoo, which is raising the threatened turtle species from eggs, opened two “soft-release” cages Tuesday morning in a Rouge Watershed wetland pond. After a week inside, most of

the young turtles swam out on their own, Maria Papoulias, the park’s resource conservation project manager, said later. At least one lucky hatchling from the previous group - scientists can’t tell if it’s a he or she at this stage - managed to find a nice muddy spot for the winter. Park and zoo employees know this because the turtles were fitted with tiny radio

transmitters. “There may be four that are still alive, but there’s only one we’re still tracking,” Papoulias, adding transmitters on three other hatchlings failed, so finding them in the Rouge Valley area is “nearly impossible.” Baby turtles in the wild face many threats, so one survivor in 10 shouldn’t be too disappointing, she said. Blanding’s turtles, which

have bright yellow chins and necks and helmet-shaped shells, have been known to live more than 80 years. Rouge Park is the only part of Greater Toronto where a few are still known to live, inspiring a “head start” plan to re-establish a healthy population there. Parks Canada is committed to release 50 young Blanding’s a year for 25 years in order to reach that goal, Papoulis

said. Meanwhile, the agency is asking people to report anyone they see poaching turtles of any kind to Crimestoppers. “The turtles are out there on their own and we really hope they do well,” Papoulis said. – Mike Adler

George Peck teacher receives prime minister’s award SAM JURIC sjuric@insidetoronto.com Susan Raponi knew she wanted to be a teacher from the time she was 12 years old. “I had my first music class where I taught kindergarteners how to play tambourine,” Raponi said the teacher at Scarborough’s George Peck Public School. Today, Raponi will be presented

with the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence. “It’s an incredible moment in my career,” said Raponi. She grew up in Kingston, Jamaica where her parents worked as missionaries at the Salvation Army School for the Blind. Her first taste of teaching was with the young children who lived at the Salvation Army home, many of whom had been orphaned.

For the past two years, Raponi has worked tirelessly to obtain grants as well as raise money so the children of George Peck Public School Wind Band could attend the Music Fest Canada 2015 competition. participate The band was invited to compete last year, but was unable to participate due to a lack of funds.

Inequitable conditions are a constant struggle for music and arts education programs for elementary schools in Scarborough, said Raponi. In spite of the odds, George Peck Public School’s Wind Band won the Gold Award on May 15 at Music Fest 2015. This year the competition was held at the University of Toronto. “The kids screamed in excite-

ment. But getting the invitation in the first place was the real reward. We just wanted to express ourselves musically,” Raponi said. Raponi has her PhD in Learning Differentiated Music Education and hopes to help foster positive learning tools for different types of students. She is also dedicated to assisting special needs students with their education.

special report

City hall reaches out to minority-led companies MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com

oronto is edging closer to being a city where more than half of residents are foreign-born and more than half are non-white. But many first- or secondgeneration Canadians who own companies here think they are at a disadvantage getting business from city hall. “They feel there’s an unequal playing field,” said Zubair Patel, community relations director for the Toronto Network of Indian Professionals. This “long-held sentiment” among minority-led businesses covers not just municipal procurement, but hiring for city jobs, Patel said. When city hall and its contracts reflect the city, he argued, “it creates a greater sense of belonging,” but if not, “it slows down the process of integration.” Mayor John Tory is aware of the perception minorityled businesses don’t get a fair share. It’s true, but there’s nothing sinister behind it, he said. “The city just doesn’t know who these people are.” As long as minority-led companies know they’re free to bid on contracts, the mayor said, “that shouldn’t be an obstacle.” social procurement To change the playing field, city council started experimenting with a “social procurement framework” before Tory was elected last fall. The mayor said it could lead by next year to a policy ensuring one of three short-listed bids for each city contract comes from a minority-led or “diverse-led” company. “They will win or lose on their own merits after that.” The city has started posting contracts worth $10,000 to $50,000 online, and soliciting some bids for smaller projects worth $3,000 to $10,000.

It’s too early in these experiments to say if they’ve made a difference. Not enough people know about them, and the city hasn’t posted as many contracts as was hoped, said director of procurement Michael Pacholok. “I feel we need to be a little more proactive.” City hall doesn’t have a closed list of vendors, he said, but speculated many small and medium-sized companies could be daunted by large contracts or think working with government, “generally seen as very rigid,” is too difficult. Pacholok said the city wants them to know they’re free to compete, and if a company is small, sub-contracting is an option. In recent years, applying

“

The city just doesn’t know who these people are. – mayor john tory

for city projects as a “diverse” company seems a sound strategy: in 2012, just seven per cent of bidders were “selfdeclared” as minority-led or controlled – which includes women, aboriginals, and gay and lesbian people – but they got $339 million in city business. In 2013, $434 million went to a self-declared five per cent. “There might be more out there that just didn’t tell us,” said Pacholok, who said his staff is planning more outreach to ethnic business groups on how to do business with the city.

“I think it comes down to using technology and using our connections,” said Tory, adding many large private firms are “doing a better job than the city on this,” and its government can learn from them. The mayor dismissed arguments adding a social procurement policy will increase the city’s costs or slow things down. free enterprise By broadening the nature and number of bidders, you can get a better price and quality, plus benefits you didn’t know about, he said. “To me, it’s a very freeenterprise way of doing it.” Courtney Betty, founder of the Diversity Business Network, said the biggest challenge for minority-led businesses “really is the lack of connections,” and providing opportunities for them will make us all wealthier. With a social procurement policy, “no one’s going to lose, but it will require courage to move this forward,” said Betty, a lawyer. “It’s the right business thing. It’s the right social thing.” He has faith Tory will make the right changes happen. “He’s a believer,” Betty said. Patel also welcomed the pilot projects in procurement, saying while the city should do more outreach, minority-led companies should do more research themselves on how to apply. A report on social procurement is expected to lead to a draft policy by the end of this year.

Help building a business FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com

mmigrant entrepreneurs often come to their new country armed with a strong work ethic and grand ideas, but without the knowledge of what’s involved in making their dreams reality. That’s where organizations geared towards helping this targeted group come into play, with programs and service referrals available to assist those hoping to launch a business in the city. L a u r i e Fl e m i n g , c o ordinator of The Learning Enrichment Foundation’s (LEF) Emerging Entrepreneur Program, said the majority of the immigrant entrepreneurs she has worked with aspire to get into the food business, replicating what they did in

their home country. “The restaurant business in Toronto is hard,” she said. “Often they don’t have the culinary skills or the financial resources. Finances is the biggest barrier they face. Lots of people think the roads are paved with gold and the government hands out money.” While there are government grants available to entrepreneurs, often they will have to take second jobs to help finance their business, Fleming said, adding a restaurant idea might turn into a catering business. LEF offers two free components to its Emerging Entrepreneur Program: a two-week course testing the viability of an idea, making

tweaks and adjustments along the way, followed by a six-week program that involves taking their research and building a business plan. The entrepreneurs come from across the globe, Fleming said, adding her program has seen large numbers of participants from Central and South America, Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. “We have one engineer whose family has a clothing business in Pakistan and his family wants to sell their goods here,” Fleming said. “There is definitely family pressure.” Participants in the Emerging Entrepreneur Program will go on trips to Toronto Reference Library to get help with research, and LEF will bring in accountants, lawyers and mentors to help budding >>>newcomers, page 35

CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com

n 2003, when Carolina Velez immigrated to Toronto from her native Colombia she had dreams of making her mark on corporate Canada. A 21-year-old armed with a business degree from a top-tier Colombian business school, she didn’t know her lack of Canadian experience would hold her back from climbing the corporate ladder. She’d spend the next eight years toiling in reception and clerical jobs, for which she was over-qualified, at companies where she had no real chance of advancement. “I’m not sure if things have changed for professional immigrants now, but for me it was very difficult because I didn’t have the experience (Canadian companies) wanted. I thought I was going to be able to find a managerial position Carolina Velez launched a now-successful business importing exotic fruit like this pitahaya.

like all my friends from university, who started working right away with multi-nationals in Colombia,” said Velez, who studied economics and international business at Icesi University, one of Colombia’s top-tier business schools.

“

Even if you’re not finding your way right away, don’t give up. Follow your dreams and your passions and everything else will follow. – carolina velez

“I thought I was going to have the same luck here in Canada, but that was far from reality, so I started thinking, if nobody’s going to hire me to be a manager, I will hire myself.” So in October 2011 the entrepreneurial seed for ColombiaExotic – Velez’s now-thriving import company dealing in exotic fruits from Colombia – was planted. Velez was struck by inspiration in the form of a spiky yellow fruit from back home. “I was assisting at a business match-making forum

Carolina Velez visits Vista Cargo in the Pearson Airport district, where she receives her merchandise

in Toronto organized by the Government of Colombia and we were sent a basket with a bunch of fruit. When I tried the yellow pitahaya, I fell in love with it, it was fantastic,” said Velez of the fruit that would become the cornerstone of her start-up, which she describes as a “sweeter, more delicate

and refreshing” version of the dragon fruit. “I was filled with all these ideas on how to market it. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t think about anything else. I wrote my business plan in a week.” While the business struggled in its fledgling years after

>>>from page 34 entrepreneurs in their quest for success, she said. As for how the city benefits from immigrant entrepreneurs, Fleming said if their business brings in even an extra $100 a month, it means they don’t need to rely on things like food banks. Starting in 2013 as a pilot project, the Entrepreneur Connections program run by Access Employment has served about 90 people a year who are looking for ways to bring their business ideas to fruition on Canadian soil, said Irene Sihvonen, director of services and organizational development programs. “They learn about the market in Canada and develop and refine their business plan and idea,” she said. The free four-week program

touches on legal considerations when starting a business, employment standard law, Canadian workplace culture, networking and business communication, Sihvonen said, adding participants often arrive in the city without business contacts, which is critical for success.

“

Some need a business plan, access to grants and funding. But they all have passion for starting a business. – Surranna Sandy

While the entrepreneurs run the gamut from arts and entertainment, education, health and medicine, 66 per cent ran a business outside of Canada and most seek help

with learning how things are done in their new country, she said. “The lack of knowledge of the Canadian market place, the legal requirements, accessing loans and funds,” said Sihvonen of the areas participants need the most assistance with, adding if immigrant entrepreneurs are successful, that means new jobs for the city and a better economy. And Entrepreneur Connections participants have been successful, with 61 businesses registered and 37 generating sales, she said. Surranna Sandy, executive director of Skills for Change, said some of the immigrant entrepreneurs who access their programs have strong business ideas, while others aren’t so certain.

“Some need a business plan, access to grants and funding,” she said. “But they all have passion for starting a business.” Most of the entrepreneurs come from South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America and Mexico and arrived in Canada within three to six months of reaching out to Skills for Change, she said. The biggest barrier they face is accessing financial support, she said. “They don’t have the broader networks yet, the social connections,” she said. By creating jobs and generating incomes, immigrant entrepreneurs are contributing to the city’s economy, which is a win-win situation, Sandy said.

launching in 2012 – Velez’s parents even sold their car after the banks refused to give her a loan – the one-woman start-up has expanded nationwide and, last year, saw its sales double. With Loblaws as its primary customer, ColombiaExotic now imports six varieties of fruit to the grocery giant’s stores in Quebec, Ontario, Newfoundland and New Brunswick. In recognition of her company’s strides, which Velez still runs almost single-handedly, she was named as one of the city’s Most Promising Immigrant Entrepreneurs in 2013 by Connect Legal, a registered charity that aims to foster entrepreneurship in the immigrant community.

CONSUMER FEATURE

Platinum going strong after 25 years Platinum Home Design & Renovations will be celebrating 25 years of professional service and top quality products later this year thanks to its loyal and supportive customers. The local business, known for its windows and doors, was started in 1990 by Gus George. It has grown to be one of Toronto’s leading window and door renovators, servicing the GTA from Oshawa to Oakville and Newmarket to the lake. Platinum is committed to a uniform standard of excellence in service and workmanship. The team even has its own high quality brand of windows - Enerview. Platinum is so sure of the product that there is a lifetime guarantee on all windows. The windows also come with a Neat Glass coating. This coating uses UV rays and rain water to repel and remove dirt. Though it’s not unique to the company, Platinum is one of the only window companies that doesn’t charge an extra fee. It’s always included. Across the city and in your own neighbourhood, Platinum has established standards of quality in window and door installations which have resulted in thousands of satisfied customers. You can trust Platinum’s products and the installation. All installers are Window Wise certified. This means everything is done perfectly to code using the right methods and materials according to Canadian guidelines.

Fort Yor k Before and after a Platinum door installation

You may not be sure if you need new windows or a new door, but make sure you don’t wait too long. It’s not uncommon to notice older or poorly installed windows increasing the cost of heating and cooling in a home. Platinum offers free quotes to anyone considering a change. A new door, the focal point of the home, is more of a personal choice while windows are often a necessity. This month, the company is offering a deal of 35 per cent off Enerview windows. This includes the option of 24 equal monthly payments with zero per cent interest or a free exterior paint upgrade for all windows. Visit www.platinumrenovations.com or call 1-877-390-8588 for more information.

Parades, fireworks, celebrations in Scarborough on Canada Day >>>from page 1 visitors at a printmaking workshop can create mini Canadian flags. They can also dress in 19th Century costume for a photo, sample historic recipes, or share their stories for future exhibits. There were promises from Chin Lee, who heads Scarborough’s Community Council, to expand next year’s Canada Day festivities “to bring a more Scarboroughcentric lens to the events that we hope will reflect what Scarborough represents today.” In a statement from his office this week, the councillor said he is “looking to expand our celebrations to include a multicultural showcase and pavilion village at a second campus surrounding the Scarborough Civic Centre, beginning next year.” Newcomer clients and staff of the Centre for Immigrant

and Community Services are participating in the parade for the first time, an “opportunity for them to get involved and share the pride of being Canadian,” said Moy WongTam, the agency’s executive director. “ T h i s y e a r, w e g o t invited.” Wong-Tam said young people at CICS will prepare bookmarks to hand out to the crowd, and make other crafts to learn more about Canadian history and symbols. In Highland Creek, another Canada Day parade organized by the Royal Canadian Legion on Lawson Road will start from Centennial Road and Lawson at 10:45 a.m. As always, it will include pipes and drums, antique cars, cadets, the Legion colour guard and “who knows what all else,” said Wayne Powell, one of the organizers. The parade will be followed

on the Legion grounds by an opening ceremony, barbecue, horseshoes, jumping castles for the children, a beer garden, and entertainment by father and son duo J and J from 3 to 7 p.m. The little parade is still the longest-running in Greater Toronto, Powell said this week. “We’ve been going steady since 1956 and we’re not about to slow down.” A free fireworks display at Milliken Park, on Steeles Avenue between McCowan and Middlefield roads, will begin at dusk, which is about 10 p.m. There’s another dusk fireworks display, presented by Scarborough Southwest Councillor Gary Crawford, following a barbecue in Scarborough Bluffs Park, on Undercliff Drive east of Midland Avenue, but the park has limited capacity and the event is intended for people

in the surrounding neighbourhoods. The Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto presents “Happy Birthday Canada” in its Sheppard Avenue multipurpose hall from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with a singing of O Canada, cake cutting, music and dance performances, arts and crafts. The city’s outdoor swimming pools, wading pools and splash pads are open Canada Day, but indoor pools and community centres are closed. City golf golf courses will be open, offering holiday rates. The Toronto Zoo is open, and visitors can watch its giant pandas, Er Shun and Da Mao, play with “a special Canada Day-themed pinata” at 11 a.m.

Hospital panel report expected in October >>>from page 1 facilities, many of which, the hospitals said, are overcrowded or obsolete. Before the merger fell apart, both hospitals asked the province for a commitment to at least study a possible new hospital campus or campuses for the region, a request the ministry hasn’t approved.McLellan’s group was given six months to build a “master plan” for how TSH, RVHS, as well as Lakeridge Health in Oshawa, can work together “under an integrated system” - which may require merging programs and services - as well as to assess all their future infrastructure needs.But apart from naming Raymond C.Y. Chung, a Scarborough resident and co-founder of the Hong Fook Mental Health Association, as its eighth member, the panel has announced very little. Requests to the Central East Local Health Integration Network and health ministry

to release its terms of reference document have produced no result. In early May, the ministry promised the panel would develop “an accessible community engagement process” that will build on work done during the year-long TSHRVHS merger process, but there are no details yet. T h i s we e k , h owe ve r, McLellan, who would not agree to an interview, issued a written statement through the LHIN, the province’s regional health authority, saying the panel “has been very active,” meeting with leaders at the three hospitals and visiting hospital campuses in Scarborough and Ajax.“The panel is still in the early stages of their review and planning for engagement with the broader community - including hospital staff and local residents - is continuing to evolve,” McLellan said. The group is scheduled to finish work around Oct. 10.
