Input sought on revival plan for Golden Mile
Easter Egg hunt
Events listings/ 11
The City of Toronto will try to revive Scarborough’s oncefamous Golden Mile with a new secondary plan. That busy stretch of Eglinton Avenue East was known as the Golden Mile of Industry in the 1950s – Frigidaire, John Inglis, Thermos and others had factories there – and later the Golden Mile of Commerce as car lots and large retail replaced the manufacturers. A meeting of Scarborough Community Council next Tuesday, April 5, will hear about the launch of a Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study covering a little more than 200 acres of properties from Victoria Park Avenue to Birchmount Road. To help prepare a plan for redevelopment there over

the short, medium and long terms, the city will form a working group of property owners, businesses, residents and local councillors, a report says. The broader public will get a chance to comment too, at consultation events. What’s currently driving hopes the Golden Mile could attract more employment and more residential units is the coming Crosstown Light-Rail Transit line, which will build five stops in the area. An earlier study called Eglinton Connects, which is at www.toronto.ca/eglinton, is connected to this one. The secondary plan study is expected to begin this year and be presented to Scarborough councillors in the fall of 2018.

Police investigate after man’s body found ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

Police are awaiting toxicology results on a man found dead wrapped in a white sheet in a Scarborough industrial yard on Sunday. The investigation is being handled by 42 Division and the homicide squad. “It’s a joint investigation,” Const. Caroline de Kloet said. The death is deemed suspicious though the case hasn’t been classified as a homicide. People cleaning an industrial yard at Passmore Avenue and State Crown Boulevard (near Markham Road and Steeles Avenue) made the discovery at 5:24 p.m. on Sunday.

Toronto police investigate the scene where a body was discovered on Sunday evening behind a Passmore Avenue factory.

deceased and a nearby Sikh temple. Police are now awaiting toxicology results and the

A man shot on the weekend appears to be a case of death by misadventure, Toronto police say. Emergency crews were called to a home on Victoria Park Avenue north of St. Clair Avenue for a shooting at 2:39 a.m. last Saturday. “Officers arrived on scene, located a male without vital signs, and he was pronounced dead at the scene,” Const. Caroline de Kloet said. The homicide squad was initially notified of the incident, which is now being investigated by 54 Division as a case of death by misadventure.
Guild member looking forward to April show SAM JURIC scm@insidetoronto.com Theresa Evans has been a member of the Art Guild of Scarborough since the early 1990s but she’s been painting for the better part of her life. The Scarborough native has participated in art classes since the early 1970s and hasn’t stopped since. Evans is just one of 80 artists who will be showcasing a small collection of paintings at the Art Guild’s Spring art show and sale Saturday and Sunday. Since 1962 the Art Guild has been a non-profit organization in Scarborough, which has strived to bring art and community together. Over 300 original pieces of art will be showcased at the bi-annual event, in a variety of mediums and styles by local Scarborough artists. “The art guild shows are
twice a year and I’ve managed to sell a fair number of paintings over the years,” said Evans. Like Evans, Dawn Gibbons has been painting for many years and has been a proud member of the Art Guild of Scarborough for14 years. After retirement Gibbons was compelled to join by friends who were already members and was soon after hooked. “I painted years and years ago and then I stopped when my family was growing up. I got back to it 15-16 years ago,” said Gibbons. What keeps her going? “I do it because I love it,” she said. Both artists share a passion for nature landscapes and wildlife but have diverse approaches to the subject matter. Gibbons mainly uses oil paint to bring out the vivid colours of autumn at her

To continue to master her craft, Gibbons participates in a yearly outdoor painting workshop in June, where she paints on site. This spring, she is entering three smaller pieces alongside a few larger works as well. Evans travels to Ithaca, New

T h e e v e n t p ro m o t e s organ donation awareness and raises funds for the Canadian Transplant Games (the Olympics for organ recipients), which this year will be held in Toronto Aug. 8 to 13. Talbot died at age 22 on March 10, 2009, two days after the car he was a passenger in slammed into a hydro pole on Hill Crescent. But his organs and tissues live on in at least two people. The sixth annual table tennis tournament runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at J.S. Woodworth Senior Public School, 120 Sedgemount Dr., in Scarborough. “Every year there are new participants,” Talbot’s mother Heather said of the event. “It really is growing every year.” Competitors pay $25 while other attendees could make a donation or buy a raffle ticket. “A lot of people who’ve received transplants will be participating or attending or volunteering as well as our friends and family and Jonathon’s friends,” Heather said. March is a difficult month for the Talbot family. “That’s when the crash came and the hospital and the funeral,” Heather said. “Each year it’s a little less raw. ... Of course, we’re very aware of missing Jonathon every day, but it’s not as painful as it was seven years ago.”

oney for transit, and possibly more for housing. It was welcome news from Ottawa last week, when newly minted Finance Minister Bill Morneau released the federal Liberal government’s first budget, and it included those two things. Among other things, the budget pledged $3.4 billion in public transit investment across the country over the next three years. And an $11.9 billion infrastructure plan will allow for federal funding of housing. Both of these announcements are good for Toronto, which needs major investment in both areas, and has for many years. With the exception of the late former mayor Rob Ford, everyone occupying the Toronto mayor’s office has agreed that the federal government needs to engage in the direct financing of municipal needs – housing and transit in particular. But mayoral advocacy has our view only ever achieved partial success, and often none at all. Federal Liberals Count this year’s budget as partial win. make good on another Toronto stands to get a sizeportion of the federal transit, housing able transit funding, as the allocation will be based on ridership and the Toronto Transit Commission’s ridership is formidable. But 26 per cent – the share that Mayor John Tory’s office estimates will come to the city on that basis – is still only $884 million. The Toronto Transit Commission’s state of good repair backlog currently sits at $2.7 billion. Similarly, it’s hard to imagine federal infrastructure money, which will be divided more equitably, will get Toronto very far in completing the $2.6 billion repair backlog in Toronto Community Housing. Will there be more money in future budgets? One might hope so, particularly as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Morneau have signalled that they’re not going to be shy when it comes to running deficits higher than usual. But we shouldn’t confuse hope with expectation, and Toronto needs to accept that it will be, at least to some degree, on its own – with maybe, just maybe, a bit more help from the cash-strapped provincial government. That means that later this year, when Toronto considers new revenue tools, councillors will need to look very seriously at the options. We’ve been given a boost. But we’ll have to climb the rest of the way ourselves.

Trying to find forgiveness for Rob Ford I’ve been thinking a lot about forgiveness lately. Generally, the act of forgiving is a healthy one. Carrying grudges, nursing old wounds, maintaining rifts is bad for the soul if you believe in that kind of thing, and for the digestion whether you do or don’t. It feels good to let go. But in the case of Robert Bruce Ford, interred yesterday after his untimely and awful death at age 46, forgiveness becomes… problematic. It’s not that he didn’t beg our forgiveness. When he was still mayor, before cancer struck him, Rob Ford offered a fulsome apology for the behaviour he exhibited while under the influence of his alcohol addiction. He went so far as to apologize on television, in the summer of 2014, where he accepted “full responsibility” for his “poor judgement.” During that time, he’d been recorded saying an awful thing about his mayoral rival, city councillor Karen Stintz,
david nickle the city and he apologized for that. With that done, of course, he launched into an eyebrowraising stump speech for his bid to be re-elected mayor then left without taking questions. But still: an apology is an apology, and it’s only good manners to accept it. And even if he hadn’t apologized, there is still the generosity we all feel toward the terminally ill. Imagining ourselves at a dying man’s bedside, a long-held grudge becomes an unimaginable burden. And so it feels good for us to absolve: to recall Rob Ford as a good bloke after all, whose sins were egged on by the demon rum; to conclude that he was simply the mayor that loved Toronto too much; and that through it all, returning phone calls and posing for selfies, coaching grateful high school footballers and hobnobbing with celebrities,
he somehow did great good for the city. That this doesn’t square with the historical record is problematic. Indeed, it is significantly problematic, as our consideration of the Ford years is not simply a matter of the historical record. In addition to a widow and two children, Ford leaves behind a political machine, in the form of Ford Nation: tens of thousands of people who supported him unquestioningly, and a political heir, in the form of his brother, former councillor Doug Ford. Earlier this week, Doug was front-and-centre at the visitation that the family requested be held in the Toronto City Hall rotunda, greeting wellwishers, embracing supporters, and posing for the selfies with those in line to visit his brother Rob’s flag-draped casket. We all grieve in different ways, but to onlookers, it seemed an awful lot like campaigning. And in the context of campaigning, the narrative
of what really happened between 2010 and 2014 in the mayor’s office matters. The truth of that is that Rob Ford stepped off a wellrun campaign and into a job that he bungled from nearly the beginning. At some point, booze and other drugs overtook him and made things worse. But there is little evidence that he loved Toronto enough, never mind too much, and plenty of evidence that drunk or sober, he despised significant elements of the city. His accomplishments – abolishing the car tax and the contracting out of some garbage collection – are few. The damage he did – to public transit, to the simple level of discourse – is considerable. And for that, and many other things, he never once apologized. As good as it might feel to grant, forgiveness is really not an option.

Invictus athletes finalize training in Scarborough TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com Team Canada’s second training camp for the 2016 Invictus Games has wrapped up at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre (TPASC) in Scarborough. The camp, which ran from March 18 to 23, brought the athletes back for another round of training with Canadian Sport Institute Ontario. “It’s been a really successful camp and everybody’s had a great time,” said athlete Mark Hoogendoorn during a media event at TPASC March 23. Team Canada completed its first training camp in January. Thirty men and women will represent Canada in Orlando, Florida at the 2016 Invictus Games, taking place from May 8 to 12 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World. This will be the second installment of the Games, which began in 2014 in London, England. The international sporting event for ill and injured Armed Forces members and veterans was founded by Prince Harry. The Prince, a military man himself, was inspired by an event in the United States called the Warrior Games. The third Invictus Games will be hosted in Toronto next year, from Sept. 24 to 30, Prince Harry recently announced. Invictus means unconquered. It represents the unfailing spirit of the wounded warriors competing. The Games celebrate the contributions of Armed Forces members, while harnessing and highlighting the power sport has to support mental and physical recovery and

rehabilitation. Athletes will compete in 10 individual and team sports at the 2016 Games — archery, swimming, powerlifting, indoor rowing, road cycling, sitting volleyball, track and field, and wheelchair basketball, rugby and tennis. Hundreds of athletes from 15 nations will compete for medals at the event, while also supporting and applauding each other’s performances. Hoogendoorn, from Grimsby, Ontario, is competing in powerlifting, indoor rowing and shot put. The Canadian Army Master Corporal is both nervous and excited to be a member of Team Canada. “We really want to bring back
some medals,” he said. “First and foremost, we’re just going to go down, and have fun, and try to work as hard as we can. And if we’re fortunate enough to stand on a podium and bring a medal home, that would be a bonus to everything else.” He added just being part of the team is awesome. It’s a dream come true for Natacha Dupuis, who was a track-and-field champion before joining Canada’s Armed Forces. Dupuis, from Chelsea, Quebec, is competing in track and field and powerlifting. Training at TPASC has pushed her and Team Canada’s performance up a level, said the retired Canadian Army Master Corporal.
“This camp has been so awesome,” she said. “The team spirit’s been so great. We’ve been working so hard here for the past week, putting in hours and hours of training.” She will be thinking of two of her heroes when she competes, Trooper Jack Bouthillier and Trooper Corey Hayes, who were killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Dupuis has lived with PTSD since witnessing their deaths. “For me, the Games represents a lot of things. It’s really good for me and helps me in my ongoing recovery, but also it’s a good way for me to do something in their honour,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity to represent my country at another level, and it’s been a wonderful journey.” She hopes to bring back gold from Orlando, but noted the outcome doesn’t really matter, because the Games are about more than competing. “It shows that we’re not forgotten, and it shows that people see potential still in you. Even though we have injuries, we still have dreams, we still have abilities,” she said. “It’s a real positive event that creates a lot of awareness for the public, for the military and other injured that can maybe identify to us and find maybe a bit of hope.” For the athletes, the excitement of this year’s Games is paired with the anticipation of hosting next year. The Toronto Invictus Games will be the largest yet, with more sports, athletes and countries. A national torch relay visiting Canada’s 32 military bases, and neighbouring towns and cities, will bring
Affordable housing project for Danforth Road Home ownership on a modest income keeps getting harder to achieve in Toronto, but a new Scarborough condo will give 250 people or families that chance. Non-profit developer Options for Homes celebrated starting work on an 18-storey building it calls Danforth Village Estates at a Toronto City Hall ceremony last week. In a release, Councillor Ana Bailao, the Toronto’s housing advocate, said she was proud her colleagues had invested $4 million from the city’s Home Ownership Assistance Program in the project “to make these homes more affordable.” Options said most units in the building, on Danforth Road north of Eglinton Avenue, were bought by families with an average income of $53,000 a year. The builder first applied in 2012 to sever land behind three rental highrises at 1340, 1350

the country together ahead of the Games. School programs will be launched, in partnership with the Rick Hansen Foundation, to further engage youth. “To be able to represent our country on Canadian soil, for me, means a lot,” said Dupius. “It will be so nice to have all that support from Canadians. I just can’t wait for next year’s competition, but I’ll focus on Orlando coming up, but I’m certainly looking forward to performing in Canada.” Currently serving at the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering in New Brunswick, Hoogendoorn lost a leg after stepping on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. He credits the Canadian Armed Forces’ Soldier On Program for showing him, through sport, that there are still no limits to what he can achieve. The chance to showcase that message of limitless opportunity across Canada through the Toronto Invictus Games means a lot to him and his teammates. “It’s something to be very proud of,” he said of hosting. Prince Harry will visit Toronto in May to officially launch the countdown to the city’s Invictus Games. Visit www.invictusgames2016. org for more information about this year’s event, and www.invictusgames2017.com for more about Invictus Games Toronto 2017, including volunteer and sponsorship opportunities.

MP Arnold Chan undergoing cancer treatment for second time Scarborough MP Arnold Chan is undergoing treatment of a rare form of cancer for the second time in two years. “I am confident that I will beat this challenge,” Chan, a lawyer, won the June 2014 byelection in Scarborough-Agincourt for the Liberals after Jim Karygiannis resigned, said in a release. Bothered by some loss of sensation in his face and a lump in his neck, Chan was diagnosed just months after his victory with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. He took a leave from some duties so doctors at Toronto’s Princess Margaret Cancer Centre could treat small tumours in his head and neck. By last April, he was well enough to return to a full schedule, and later won re-election in the riding. On Wednesday, March 23, however, Chan said a routine check-up at Princess Margaret showed his cancer has resurfaced. He said he will keep serving his constituents and hopes to continue with a “modified” work schedule while he is being treated. Chan’s announcement immediately brought him messages of encouragement. “We are all with you in your fight,” tweeted fellow Scarborough MP Salma Zahid. “We look forward to welcoming you back soon.”

Carbon dioxide deterrent for Asian carp >>>from page 1 hungry fish, so presumably they’re open to new ideas. But a team of master’s students at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) has a solution to stop the invasion. The team, called Operation Carpageddon, won the Asian Carp Innovative Solutions Competition held at UTSC March 5. The competition asked students to showcase their original ideas and designs that could be used in the prevention, control, and/or elimination of Asian carps in the Great Lakes basin. There’s already a set of electrical barriers on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, put there to keep the carp from reaching Lake Michigan. Operation Carpageddon won by proposing a second barrier to circulate carbon dioxide into the canal as a further deterrent. “The whole point of the competition was to be as innovative as possible,” team member Tisha Tan said last week. The master of environmental science student said she and her friends thought the electric barriers were cool, and carbon dioxide seemed like a simple and effective barrier. Illinois researchers just finished preliminary tests showing carbon dioxide is a deterrent for silver carp and bighead, two of the four carp varieties replacing native fish since they were released into the Mississippi river system decades ago. There are drawbacks to the plan: it could

The drawing, submitted by the winning team, shows the infrastructure needed to circulate carbon dioxide through the Chicago sanitary and shipping canal as an additional barrier to the invasive fish species.
acidify water, “a whole other headache,” and CO2 is a greenhouse gas, but Tan said limestone spread on the floor of the canal would act as a buffer, while also making more carbon dioxide. The barrier could be put in place quickly, and a carbon dioxide recycler could then be built on one side of the canal, Tan said. When asked if it would be better to close the canal, Tan said that sounds fine to someone like her who puts the environment first, but others want to continue shipping goods to the Great Lakes.

New program provides emergency mortgage loans to homeowners Rashida Riel, Expert Mortgage’s “85-Alive” representative for the Scarborough, says, “We’re seeing mostly homeowners behind on mortgage and property taxes. The banks are refusing to restructure their loans. Many of these people have lost jobs due to the bad economy... or they’re self-employed. Unless you are a perfect applicant, the bank doesn’t want to talk to you.” But not everyone condones Expert Mortgage’s easy lending criteria. A local real estate agent with 25 years of experience, who has asked to remain anonymous, says, “When this market turns down, it’s going to get ugly! It’s utter financial suicide for Expert Mortgage to be giving money away so easily to clients without the ability to make payments. I’d be surprised if they’re still in business five years from now.” Nonetheless, homeowners like Anita P. don’t see a problem with the program. When questioned on how she plans

On November 1, 2013, Expert Mortgage launched the “85-Alive” program in Ontario. The concept was simple: as long as you had a pulse, Expert Mortgage would provide you with a home equity loan, up to 85 per cent of the value of your property. No job required. Bad credit, OK. The reason why Expert Mortgage could offer a “no questions asked” lending program, while the major banks could not, is that they represent over 200 private lenders who lend strictly on property value. These subprime lenders specialize in mortgage clients who have had some bad luck, and need a helping hand until they get back on their feet. The program has been so successful that Expert Mortgage can barely keep up with the volume of calls. To help fund this unexpectedly large number of borrowers, it has partnered up with dozens more private lenders. Licensed Mortgage Agent

on making payments on her mortgage when she has no income, Anita responds, “We were four months behind on our mortgage and they saved our house. My husband has been unemployed for nine months. He won’t be unemployed forever. We used the 85-Alive loan to pay off all our debts. We also had $25,000 left over that we put in the bank for emergencies. And to make life easy, they worked it out so we have no mortgage payments for 12 months.” For more details on the ”85-Alive” program, contact Rashida Riel, RashidaRiel.ca, 1-888-334-6089.

If inner-ear damage is present, They can hear deep tones with no issue, a hearing care professional will
determine the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then programmed into the hearing aids, which precisely take into account and balance the frequency range of the person being tested. The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds.

Seedy Saturday slated
“My life is busy. I need a trusted pharmacist to help manage my health.’’
If you have no garden at all, Scarborough’s Seedy Saturday is still a place where you can learn how to grow your own food. The annual gardening and green fair, returning April 2 to Blessed Cardinal Newman Catholic High School, is a place for both experts and beginners. At one workshop, Keith D’Silva will teach you how to grow fresh salad greens indoors, all year round. Other seminars at this Seedy Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the school on Brimley Road, south of Kingston Road, include advice on how to plant seeds. Cyclists can bring their bikes for a workshop on maintenance. Learn more at scarboroughseedysaturday@gmail. com or www.facebook.com/SSSGFair

A silent auction fundraiser for Syrian refugees will take place tonight at the Olde Stone Cottage Inn on Kingston Road. The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m. and is hosted by the Guildwood Refugee Action Committee (GRACE) – a volunteer-based community group in Toronto’s east end working together to privately sponsor a Syrian refugee family. Community members are invited to join GRACE for an evening of food, drinks, music, bidding, prizes and draws to help raise urgently-needed funds toward the group’s overall goal of
$55,000 to help their sponsored family settle into a new life in Canada. GRACE has already successfully raised more than $45,000 through a wave of support from Guildwood and area residents. All proceeds raised from the fundraiser will help cover rent, furnishings, food, transportation, basic needs, dental care, prescriptions and more for a family of five during their first year in Toronto. GRACE is currently in the process of being matched with a family. Tonight’s event will feature a fabulous silent auction with more than $8,000
worth of items available to win, including a private jazz concert for four with exclusively curated wine and hors d’oeuvres, two iPad Minis and a Samsung Galaxy Tab E, prime Blue Jays tickets, art, jewellery and much more. Pre-event tickets are $15 when bought online. Tickets at the door will be $20 each. The Olde Stone Cottage Inn is located at 3750 Kingston Rd. To purchase tickets or donate:, go to bit.ly/gracespringfling or contact Allison Murray, GRACE Project Leader, at gracinformation@gmail.com or 416-266-2757.

One of this second group noted her husband’s sister died of cancer when she was 35: “It’s painful for the family I know. Rob’s in a better place now.” A man named Jared remembered playing against the football team Ford coached, the Don Bosco Eagles in Etobicoke, in playoffs for the city championship. He saw Ford across the field, he said. “You looked

to this city you were second to none. I don’t know how we can replace you. RIP my brother.” Fittingly for a politician whose style was informal, many of these goodbyes were friendly and casual in tone. “Rest easy big man,” one man said, while another recalled Ford as “a warm and decent man who was fun

whenever I met him.” There were people who declared they’d meet Ford again where he belongs, in heaven. “Until then, look down upon us and guide our thoughts,” a woman wrote. “He was real and I had prayed day and night for recovery, but it did not happen. However, I believe,” said someone else. Some added words to their tributes in Arabic or Chinese. Geoff and Shirley Johnston composed an ode to Ford in verse: “Toronto has lost an honest man./ A brother, a husband, a dad,” said one verse. “We loved you Rob no matter what. You have worked diligently and fought hard for what you believed in this great city,” Amie Ogden said. Some wrote to the man, some to his family.

Stop denying racism exists and start talking about it
E
arlier this month, on March 21, many took to social media to post messages about ending racism on what is officially known as the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Racism. Many Canadians, though, are often quick to revel in the fact that we are a nation rooted in ‘multiculturalism’ – constantly pointing out to anyone who will listen that we are not our neighbours to the south. But if anything, the countless news reports of Donald Trump’s overt racism should force us to take a more critical look at ourselves. This is sometimes hard, especially for those living in cities like Toronto, and more specifically the multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-faith and multilingual parts of the city like Scarborough. People scoff at the idea of racism. Not here, they say, not in 2016. So much so that I’ve been told more than once that some people are uncomfortable with the word. And to those people, I
say,
priya ramanujam it’s
time to step outside your comfort zone. Step into the shoes of the young man, on his way to a college class in the morning, who is taken off the bus by multiple police officers and intensely questioned because he fits ‘a description,’ only to be let go much later, without an apology. Step into the shoes of the teenage girl whose mother won’t let her join an extracurricular activity in her neighbourhood, in the weeks following Charlie Hebdo, because she wears a hijab and there is fear that she will be harassed, or worse. Step into the shoes of the foreign professional seeking a job, who changes her name and removes any ‘ethno-cultural’ experience from her résumé – and receives a noticeably higher number of call backs. Something that 40 per cent of racialized job seekers do, according to the recently released findings of a University of Toronto study. These are shoes that people in Scarborough MILLENNIAL MIND
walk in. Every. Single. Day. It may be easier to pat ourselves on the back each year when March 21 rolls around, but what really needs to happen is Canadians taking time to pause and reflect. Our past is not without fault. Neither is our present. Look no further than the Black Lives Matter Toronto (BLMTO) movement – which, as of submitting this article, has been camped outside of Toronto police headquarters for eight days and counting, rallying against anti-Black racism. The BLMTO organizers, along with the thousands of allies representing many heritages and lived experiences who stand in solidary with them, are saying loud and clear: these issues can not be swept under the carpet any longer. Racism is very much alive in all of its ugliness – in Canada, in Toronto, in Scarborough. And the first step to eliminating it is to stop denying its existence. Priya Ramanujam is a lifelong Scarborough resident. She is the co-founder of Urbanology Magazine. Reach her on Twitter: @ SincerelyPriya

30 PEOPLE WITH HEARING LOSS Qualified Participants Needed for Technology Field Test
We’re looking for people like you, who may be experiencing varying levels of hearing loss to evaluate a remarkable new line of digital hearing aids and a rehabilitative process that could be the solution to your difficulties. There’s no cost or obligation to participate! Call us toll-free today at one of the numbers below to see if you qualify for this Field Test. Potential candidates will be given a FREE hearing test to determine candidacy. Participants will be a given a FREE in-office demonstration, as well as the opportunity to evaluate and report their experience wearing the latest, most advanced hearing aid technology for 30 days. A full range of styles are available in this new technology, including the exceptionally discreet open-fit and invisible-in-the-canal models shown here:
It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible! Open-fit and IIC hearing aids are smaller and more sophisticated than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet open-fit hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin. The new IIC hearing aid–now with wireless technology–provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

CALL NOW - Candidates are being selected. The selection process for this test period will end March 31, 2016.

Hearing tests are provided free of charge for adults ages 18 and older. Some conditions may apply. Please see clinic for details.

Integrative Health Group to provide free dental hygiene care On Saturday April 9, dental hygienists in the dental department of Integrative Health Group will be providing free oral health screenings as a part of the Gift from the Heart Campaign. The Gift from the Heart campaign offers a way for dental hygienists to reach out in their community and help members of the public who may be financially unable to receive oral care or have difficultly accessing dental hygiene services. “We love to do this for our community because it’s important to take care of your oral health, and we want to help as much as we can,” says Sheila McKenzie, registered dental hygienist at Integrative Health Group, a multi-faceted dental health care group, located at 2201 Warden Avenue. “Taking care of your oral health is important for your confidence and well-being, as well as your overall health. Cavities and gum disease may contribute to many serious conditions, such as diabetes and respiratory diseases.” The free appointments are available for children and youth between 1 to 17 years of age for those families who do not have dental insurance and who meet the eligibility criteria. Services are also available for adults aged 18 to 65 who have government funded dental plans (e.g. Ontario Works and ODSP and low income seniors over 65
age of years). The dental hygiene department will provide free oral health screening, tooth brushes, gift bags, refreshments and a raffle for two Free Basic dental cleaning for mothers of children on government assisted dental programs. Integrative Health Group’s goal is to initiate their clients to act as active participants in the focus on their health care. The team will diagnose, assess and provide treatments for general dentistry, dental hygiene, health maintenance, pain syndromes and health coaching for lifestyle related health challenges. For more information about the Gift from the Heart campaign and to book an appointment, visit www.integrativehealth.info or call 416-477-2395.

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension? Doyousometimesfeelthatyoucanhear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television. Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss with the Audéo Venture hearing aid which has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear. Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is even more challenging when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not consider themselves to have a hearing
care professional will determine the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then programmed into the hearing aids, which precisely take into account and balance the frequency range of the person being tested.
Ginette van Wijngaarden, from Sears Hearing proudly displays the Audéo Venture hearing aid. problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. Phonak Audéo Venture Hearing Aids This past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehension for those with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can sign up for a free demonstration of the Audéo Venture hearing aids by calling now to do so. During your appointment, you will be given a hearing test and speech comprehension analysis. If inner-ear damage is present, a hearing
The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for some clients. WanttofindoutmoreabouttheAudéo Venture hearing aid?
