Scarborough councillor seeking input on new city real estate taxes MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com As its real estate market stays piping hot, a Toronto councillor is asking people whether the city should use Vancouver-style measures to cool it.

Jim Karygiannis started by asking his own ScarboroughAgincourt constituents whether Toronto should tax foreign buyers of its homes.

This week, he said he’s also hired a pollster to do a citywide survey and should have the results within days.

“I’m road-testing it,” said Karygiannis, who began by posting a survey on his website on Sept. 7.

It gave people the option of selecting a tax on foreign buyers

of residential real estate, or foreign buyers or sellers, or both plus a special tax on owners of vacant property.

Out of 161 residents who responded, the councillor said, “there’s only three people that say, ‘No tax, leave it alone.’”

“The majority of people are saying, ‘Put a tax on it.’”

There’s speculation Vancouver’s 15 per cent “property transfer tax’ for foreign buyers, which took effect on Aug. 2, is discouraging some purchases there and driving more overseas investors to Toronto.

Last week, Vancouver’s mayor, Gregor Robertson, announced the city would place an additional tax by 2017 on >>>REAL, page 30

Morningside Park hosts Brave T.O. obstacle races TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com If you’ve ever wondered how you’d stack up against a first responder in an obstacle race, now’s your chance to find out while supporting The Scarborough Hospital.

This Saturday, people can cheer on Toronto police, paramedics and firefight-

ers, and try to beat their race times, during Brave T.O. at Scarborough’s Morningside Park, 390 Morningside Ave. The five-kilometre Brave T.O. course was inspired by the challenges faced by Toronto’s first responders, with more than 10 obstacles including a balance pit, confidence maze, hose haul, tunnel crawl and wall clear. >>>BRAVE, page 30

BIA short cut plan could help Kingston Road MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Rogers Road has what it takes to turn its old commercial areas around, but so do other places in Toronto where efforts to get organized go nowhere.

Its 82 Business Improvement Areas split improvement costs with the city, and market places you’ve heard about, like Corso Italia, Bloor West Village, The Danforth and The Beach.

This means Rogers Road, and other spots where merchants lack the ambition and the money to start a BIA fall further behind those who do.

So Rogers is an experiment, and a model if it succeeds, for commercial streets which can’t quite make it on their own.

“I see some potential here,” Davenport Councillor Cesar Palacio said last week at the front of the Nova Era Bakery, where Rogers meets Old Weston Road.

Part of the former City of York where streets connect at odd angles, the area is a low-rise collection of barbershops, bakeries, sports bars, small grocery stores and restaurants like the O’Sole Mio, which offers dinner and dancing.

There are vacant storefronts, but in the past few years professional families from The Annex, seeking an affordable neighbourhood, have moved in, said Palacio, “so we have new blood, and new vision.”

Elsewhere in the city, a BIA forms and then does studies, which are expensive. This time, Toronto Council chose to do studies first.

Next month, Palacio will share

Dan Pearce/MetrolanD

Councillor Cesar Palacio is trying to use a pilot program to help merchants on Rogers Road to get to the stage where they can start a Business Improvement Association.

with the local businesses what an “economic scan” of the area shows: from the windows of the Nova Era, the neighbourhood might not look like much, but 19,423 people live or work within two kilometres.

In his fourth term, Palacio, who would share the potential BIA with York South-Weston Councillor Frank Di Giorgio, lives nearby and remembers other efforts to start a BIA on Rogers.

“The support from the city wasn’t there,” he said, but maintained the studies, showing strengths and weaknesses for the area, can convince enough merchants to join a

steering committee that will be a first step to a BIA. “This is the information that’s been missing all along - not only how we can help, but how to create a healthy, prosperous commercial street everyone benefits from,” Palacio said.

If it works, he predicted, Rogers will be a destination street whose residents won’t “have to go to College, Bloor or even to St. Clair to do their shopping.”

Palacio said he kept the Toronto Parking Authority from closing its lot east of Rosethorn Avenue by telling them the area will improve; the TPA

bought the building next door to add more parking.

Some areas of Toronto benefit more than others from its BIAs. Scarborough, for example, has only four.

Cliffside East of The Beach, Kingston Road has several small commercial areas but is still suffering the effects from decades of neglect and decay.

There was a BIA in Cliffside years ago, but it fell apart, and getting local business owners together is a challenge, said Scarborough Southwest

Councillor Gary Crawford, adding he’d love to encourage a BIA anywhere on Kingston Road.

Condominium-based redevelopment is creeping east and starting to change that apathy on Kingston, said Crawford, adding Birch Cliff, Kingston’s easternmost commercial section in Scarborough, is transforming “pretty much by the month.”

But the road is still home to a number of run-down motels and used car lots many locals would like to see disappear. This summer, one business owner surveyed other Kingston Road merchants on “the current state of Kingston Road,” asking them to “check the obstacles” they feel stand in the way of a BIA. The councillor last month said he’s trying to assist the drive towards a BIA, but the merchant’s effort so far has a decidedly angry tone, referring to Crawford’s own assurances on redevelopment as the “Count on Condos Campaign.”

It takes time and money to revitalize a commercial strip, said Mike Major, Toronto’s manager of BIAs, but if the Rogers Road project works, it would likely be tried on Kingston Road.

Palacio, meanwhile, will host his public meeting at the St. Nicholas Di Bari School on Rogers Road, from 6 to 8 p.m., on Oct. 17.

After listening to the pitch, Alex Dias, the Nova Era’s owner, said some local merchants are skeptical on the value of beautification projects - such as new sidewalks or flower pots - a BIA would bring, but he’ll be at the meeting.

“What do we have to lose?”

Palacio asked him.

Celebration of Highland Creek salmon to put focus on the environment Salmon in Highland Creek have had their ups and downs but seeing the big fish move through Scarborough’s Morningside Park is now a popular fall event.

What started with curious people watching introduced Chinook salmon make their way upstream has become the Highland Creek

Salmon Festival.

Nature hikes It returns on Sunday, Oct. 2, with children’s activities, “environmentally-friendly vendors,” performances and guided nature-hikes, some of which are barrier-free.

Salmon in Highland Creek are a “cautionary tale,” the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority said in a posting on the event.

The creek, now heavily urbanized through most of Scarborough and prone to erosion after storms, once had a healthy population of Atlantic salmon.

Volunteers from groups such as Park People and the authority hope the family-friendly event in one of Toronto’s largest green spaces helps people “learn about the importance of working together to protect these areas and to minimize our impact on the environment.”

The main entrance and parking

for the park are off Morningside Avenue south of Ellesmere Road.

Guided tours taking about 45 minutes each will leave at intervals from 1:15 to 3:30 p.m. from the picnic shelter beside the playground.

Respect key to gender evolution

WRitE uS

W

e are breaking ground and removing barriers while navigating a cultural shift that has been referred to as the new post-gender era.

In a relatively short time period, we have discovered the segregation of the sexes and the use of the pronouns he or she have been identified as obstacles as we welcome transgender people to our table of diversity.

The two-gender, binary world of male and female is shifting.

We now have gender-neutral driver’s licences, gender-free washrooms, Toby’s Law enshrining transgender people’s rights in Ontario and Bill C-16 working to do the same across Canada. And increasingly, people are adopting a cornucopia of alternative pronouns to the traditional he and she.

Like any cultural shift, we are learning through and reacting by altering OuR ViEW listening our language and behaviours to reflect what we’ve discovered.

Hear the In short, we are in the midst of a linguistic revolution that will voices for impact many facets of our lives before it ends. change A recent Angus Reid survey had promising results. Nearly 80 per cent of those participating agree Canada should work to accommodate and protect transgender people in society.

To better educate our readers, Metroland has embarked on a three-part series that starts today and continues for the next two weeks to explore the linguistic and cultural implications of these changes.

You will hear why the change is needed through the voices of those interviewed by reporter Kim Zarzour throughout her series.

Studies show 47 per cent of transgender people have either considered suicide, attempted suicide or self-harmed in the course of their lives, according to Sawyer Arnold, director of Trans Inclusion, PFLAGDurham.

“By referring to them by the incorrect gender, you increase the risk and add to the emotional distress,” Sawyer said.

Proponents of gender-free washrooms cite safety concerns. Statistics show shockingly high levels of sexual abuse and assault against transgender people.

For these people, simply choosing which washroom to use can be a daily dilemma. Changes in language and attitude will help. These changes are organic and will take time to evolve. Respect and decency should be foremost in our discussions.

Rail deck park a good idea, but costly

T

oday, Mayor John Tory’s executive committee turns its eye to an ambitious and expensive plan – to build a “rail deck” park, which is to say a park built literally on a deck, spanning over the downtown rail corridor from Bathurst Street to Blue Jays Way. It is certainly ambitious – the park would cover 21 acres of rail lands that currently divide downtown Toronto from its waterfront communities, and replace them with a green swathe of parkland that would provide some recreational relief for one of the fastestgrowing communities of tower dwellers in the country.

And, oh Lord, it is going to be expensive: more than $1 billion to construct, according to very preliminary estimates, and more than that to secure the air rights from Metrolinx and CN over those tracks that will allow construction to

david nickle the city take place at all.

The executive committee won’t be signing off on that at its September meeting – before that it is just a couple of million dollars, to refine the plans and move things along to the next stage.

It’s hard to say that the idea of the park is not a good idea.

Downtown Toronto is growing into a giant and potentially precarious residential community, made up of individuals and families squeezed into often very tiny quarters, and the real estate is getting swallowed up.

Waiting another five years until the population reaches its breaking point, and then trying to acquire large-sized parkland from the remaining scraps

could well be even more expensive or, worse, simply impossible.

The trouble is that while the rail deck park is a good idea, it isn’t the only idea that has caught the eye of Mayor Tory’s council.

The city is spending about as much as the rail deck park just a few kilometres to the east, replacing the Gardiner Expressway there with another elevated expressway, against the long-term advice of city planners.

A few more kilometres to the east, council has committed to building a one-stop subway extension into Scarborough that costs as much again.

And if the park is to go ahead, all of that – park included – will have to be paid for, almost certainly with money that comes from taxes and other revenues drawn from Toronto’s residents.

Perhaps this will provide incentive for Toronto coun-

cil to take its forthcoming debate on revenue tools more seriously.

The mayor, and a majority of council, have made it clear that property taxes are not a candidate for enhancement – and they’ve also made it clear that they don’t want to see the city sit still when it comes to improving and expanding its infrastructure.

We should have parks.

We should have subways, and light rail.

And council has decided that we should have a great elevated highway to aid motorists getting to and through the city’s downtown.

But it all leads to a bill that someone will have to pay – and having solidified our aspirations as we have, whoever pays that bill is going to need deep pockets.

LANGUAGE MATTERS ���� 1 �� � ��������� ������� ������ �� ������ ��������

it’s not always black & white

BY KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com

Do gender-based words affect our behaviour?

Remember baby Storm?

The Toronto baby took the world by storm in 2011 when her parents decided not to reveal her gender to the world for her first years of life.

Parents Kathy Witterick and David Stock wanted to let Storm decide what gender to identify with and, five years later, she is a she.

The couple also made a conscious choice to keep their kids out of public school, to avoid, in part, the school system’s segregation of sexes.

What happens when we erase gender divisions? Does going gender-free impact our behaviour?

The research is unclear.

Lynn Liben, a psychologist at Penn State, studied preschool classes to look at the effects of gender-coded language.

She found when teachers lined children up by gender and emphasized gender in speech, (“Good morning, boys and girls”), students showed an increase in genderstereotyped attitudes toward each other and their choice of toys.

On the other hand, researchers Kumiko Fukumura (University of Strathclyde, Scotland), Jukka Hyönä and Merete Scholfield (University of Turku, Finland), found no correlation between the pronoun system we use and our gender thinking.

In the Finnish language, genders are not differentiated; “hän” refers equally to both females and males, and yet Finns do not think about the gender of people any differently than speakers of English, the researchers report.

It used to be so simple, back in the days of Dick and Jane primary school readers.

We learned grammar by memorizing basic rules. Dick was a ‘he’, Jane was a ‘she’, Spot was a dog and together they were … well, they.

Turns out, it wasn’t so simple after all. Those clear-cut rules didn’t fit everyone and today those who don’t fit are speaking out, sparking what could be a linguistic revolution.

The two-gender, binary world of male and female is shifting.

We now have gender-neutral driver’s licences, gender-free washrooms, Toby’s Law enshrining transgender people’s rights in Ontario, and Bill C-16 working to do the same across Canada. And increasingly, people are adopting a cornucopia of alternative pronouns to the traditional he and she.

“Gender is not black and white, but language is,” explained Chris Talbot, a female-to male transgender youth from Newmarket.

Talbot, 18, prefers to be called he.

He spoke with his guidance office in Grade 10 and soon his entire high school had switched references to he.

Today, Talbot is studying at Georgian College in Orillia, making use of gender-free washrooms on campus, readily accepted by his male roommates in his school dorm.

“People have been amazing about it, really. I’ve never had a bad experience, no bullying, no judging,” he said. “Maybe it’s because (trans

issues) are all over social media, but it has been easier than I thought.”

Switching pronouns isn’t smooth for everyone, especially for those who don’t identify as male or female.

At 16, Beatrice Vandikas stumbled upon new pronouns being used by an online blogger: fae and faer.

“I’d been using they and them not realizing there was anything else. I was elated. I thought, Oh my gosh, that’s perfect! That’s me!”

Vandikas had been dating a trans man at the time, dealing with “nasty rumours” in a small-town community, and did not start using those pronouns right away. Now Vandikas is more comfortable using fae (for she/he) and faer (for his/hers/him) – but also less upset when people don’t.

Language is constantly evolving, Vandikas said. “It shouldn’t be that difficult, but changes like that are really hard for people, especially when they’re older.”

Vandikas’ parents, for example, haven’t yet fully embraced the concept. Faer mother once asked faer to help her understand how fae would like her to talk about faer. Fae was encouraged, but faer mother’s use of the pronouns didn’t last – maybe, fae said, because it was such a foreign concept to the older generation, “so I just said to myself, she’s my mom, I’ll deal with it.”

Reading that sentence may have been challenging for even the most open-minded readers, but Vandikas, and others who hope the English language evolves, said it’s worth the trouble. Respecting others is more important than being grammatically

How you can be gender sensitive ■ If you are uncertain about the gender identity of another person and have to refer to them in the third person, use they or them.

■ It is ok to politely ask which gender pronoun a person prefers.

■ If someone explains they are a trans woman, do not use masculine pronouns.

■ If someone explains they are a trans man, do not use feminine pronouns.

■ If you work in an office that has intake forms, include X or Other (if you absolutely must collect information about gender – but consider that you may not actually need information about gender).

■ If you work in a recreation facility, ensure there are trans-positive policies in place so that gender variant people can use the facilities without harassment.

■ Make sure there are gender-neutral bathroom options in your place of work.

correct.

Words hold power, Vandikas noted, especially when they feel wrong and especially when you have an identity disorder and rely on that perfect pronoun to understand who you are and find a sense of community.

“When people say gender pronouns are too confusing, what they are really saying is they don’t want to take the time to question their assumptions about gender,” said York University associate professor Sheila Cavanagh.

Gender is more complicated and nuanced than simple male and female, she said. “The importance of language, and gender pronoun usage, should not be underestimated.”

Increasingly, professors at York U. and other North American postsecondary schools ask students to indicate their preferred gender pronoun when they introduce themselves.

Some go further, allowing students to register their pronouns in the university computer systems; professors are urged to include their pronouns in email signatures.

Alicia Lapointe, PhD candidate at the University of Western Ontario faculty of education, suggested it may be easier for youth, who tend to view gender and sexuality differently.

“They’re more fluid and open about it. By high school or postsecondary, it’s too late to unlearn any transphobia or homophobia.

Elementary students, in particular, are often bullied because of gender expression.”

Lapointe uses nametags that say “please use … pronouns” and introduces herself with: I’m Alicia and I use she, her, hers pronouns.

“It’s a way to get people to see that you shouldn’t assume,” she said.

“I don’t think we lose anything by acknowledging our wide diversity, or celebrating it. Our society is only better if we celebrate everyone for who they are.”

I’m a food lover. The new Taste MRKT at Scarborough Town Centre is not your 1980s fast-food court, though a few chain classics still remain.

It’s become a better reflection of our evolving diversity and tastes and is (don’t scoff ) a superb addition to Scarborough’s multicultural culinary landscape. Think of it also as education for the uninitiated.

Choice and freedom are good things. I’ll never stop supporting my neighbourhood restaurants, or craving my favourite family-run takeout (Royal Chinese Seafood and its pepper fish on Middlefield Road are on speed-dial).

But I also enjoy the variety and convenience at STC. I like it as a gathering space,

helen stratigos gems of scarborough

an important, vital function in our sprawling suburb. In the morning, there is a seniors group performing tai chi and fan dancing.

Friends and family meet for a chat, in white-cushioned booths and at open tables. People encounter old acquaintances. Some linger over breakfast or coffee.

Scarborough Town Centre, built in 1973 (I was just two years old), is expanding and still serving its community.

Next to the new food court is the Scarborough Walk of Fame, with names like Maestro Fresh Wes, Dr. Joseph Wong, Barenaked Ladies, Dwayne De Rosario, and Gowan gracing its engraved gold stars.

If the mall’s new food court had no roof and was a little ramshackle, the 23-outlet Taste MRKT may be heeded by renowned epicureans and “hipsters” for being an authentic international food

market.

Rows of grilled, fried, steamed fare; some madeto-order dishes; food often cooked by people who know the cuisine well. You may gasp at the notion, but it’s the truth as I see it.

Newcomers here like Naan & Kabob (Afghan food) and Mii (Vietnamese food) are causing a bit of excitement.

But alas, successful, long-time food entrepreneurs like the owners of Jimmy the Greek and Bourbon Street Grill must be happy to please and feed the broad public, and they do.

Or there wouldn’t be a demand for them everywhere.

Browsing the offerings at Taste MRKT I also spy ready-toblend kale-apple and pineapple-arugula smoothies, Nehari beef, malt drinks, sauces of hot and green chutney, to name a few. I ask myself if I’m actually in a mall food court.

Police oversight meeting hears Scarborough’s concerns MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Most had never met anyone working for the bodies that investigate Ontario’s police, but almost all people in the room shared one opinion.

They didn’t trust these three bodies, including the Special Investigations Unit, to do their jobs fairly.

Justice Michael Tulloch, leading an independent review of police oversight agencies, promised people at Tropicana Community Services in Scarborough and all Ontarians - that “each and every one of you will be heard” on how to change things.

“I want to know how you would like to see the system improve,” the Ontario Court of Appeal judge told a few dozen members of the public at Tropicana on Thursday, Sept. 15.

There are 16 more public meetings to go, said Tulloch, who hopes the review will educate people on issues

Mike Adler/METROLAND

Justice Michael Tulloch, independent reviewer of police oversight in Ontario, speaks at a public meeting held at Tropicana Community Services in Scarborough.

involved in overseeing police, “and in so doing ensure public confidence in the system.

“It’s the foundation of our democracy.”

The SIU investigates when members of a local police force cause a civilian

death or injury, or when an officer is accused of a sexual assault, while the Office of the Independent Police Review Director rules on complaints from the public on the conduct of police, and the Ontario Civilian Police

Commission holds hearings on police disciplinary decisions.

Following concern and protests over the handling of some high-profile shootings by police, the Liberal government in April chose Tulloch as a reviewer.

He can’t comment on individual cases, but the judge will report in March on how these oversight bodies can become more transparent and accountable.

The province asked Tulloch if this can mean releasing investigation reports or the names of officers under investigation, and whether the bodies should collect “demographic statistics” on race, gender and age.

They also want the review to decide whether former police officers should continue to be hired by the SIU to investigate police.

An exchange between Tulloch and one man at Tropicana suggests these questions will be hard to answer in a way that restores

trust in the system for everyone.

The SIU was called on to name officers involved in the July 2015 shooting of Andrew Loku, a Toronto resident who was mentally ill and black.

Tulloch said naming the officers “becomes an issue when they’re exonerrated,” when the SIU’s director decides not to lay a charge.

“The officer’s not an accused at this point,” he added. “I think a lot of the public may misunderstand what that issue is all about.”

But Kirk Moss, though later saying he appreciates a legal issue is involved, told Tulloch oversight bodies should consider naming such officers when there is “a sense of injustice” being done, as in the Loku case.

Officers in that case were exonerated. Moss later said people feel if they don’t know the name of officers under investigation, those officers will be free to repeat their behaviour.

Many at Tropicana were

from the city’s black community. Several said they weren’t confident the review will lead to changes in oversight they need to see.

Moss thought it would, but suggested changes are overdue. “I think citizens are tired of feeling nervous and traumatized in the presence of police,” he said.

Some said people who might complain about a police officer’s conduct fear retaliation.

Experience teaches “reporting it probably won’t get you anywhere,” added a youth worker from Scarborough’s Kingston-Galloway neighbourhood.

Meetings for the review in Toronto include one at the For Youth Initiative on Keele Street on Sept. 22, and another at Metro Hall on John Street on Nov. 10.

Tulloch said people can send written submissions until Nov. 30 to info@policeoversightreview.ca or through www.policeoversightreview. ca

Man, 26, faces charges in child porn investigation A 26-year-old Toronto man is facing a slew of child pornography charges.

On Tuesday, members of the Toronto Police Service’s Sex Crimes Child Exploitation Section executed a search warrant near Morningside Ave n u e a n d E l l e s m e re Road.

Investigators allege a man was in possession of child sexual abuse material and that he was making it available to others via the internet.

Zahna Zurar was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of child pornography, as well as one count each of accessing child pornography, make available child pornography, failure to comply with recognizance, and possession of a prohibited weapon.

He had a Sept. 20 court appearance.

Funding for this investigation was made possible through a grant from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

Anyone with informa-

tion should contact police at 416-808-8500, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com, or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637). seized at store, man charGed wGun

A 30-year-old man has been charged with firearm related offences after he was allegedly found with a loaded Glock 9mm pistol at a Scarborough retail store Sunday, Sept. 11.

Police said a paid duty officer at a Warden and Eglinton avenues store arrested a man around 3:45 p.m. after observing characteristics of an armed person. He was allegedly carrying a pistol and two loaded magazines.

A search warrant at the man’s residence allegedly found an unsecured 12-gauge shotgun with an illegible serial number.

G r a h a m Wa l l a c e , o f Toronto, has been charged with seven offences including careless use of a firearm

(carry) and carry concealed weapon. items recovered by police wstolen

A $20,000 jukebox was among the stolen items Toronto police recovered Sunday after executing two search warrants as part of a breakand-enter investigation.

Other stolen items seized were a Durham Regional Police portfolio, Gibson guitars, Crown Royal whisky, jewelry, cameras, laptops, tools, video games, DVDs, speakers, sunglasses and watches.

The residential break-ins occurred in Toronto in July and August, and police identified a suspect in the case earlier this month.

On Sunday, police executed two search warrants, one on Cosburn Avenue and the other on Gerrard Street East, and seized a large quantity of stolen property.

“Our investigators were able to identify a lot of the property and some was returned to owners yester-

day,” 54 Division Det. Sgt. Jim Gotell said Tuesday.

Police displayed some of the seized items to the media at East York’s 54 Division station in the hopes of finding the rightful owners. Gotell is asking recent break-in victims

to come forward if they recognize their property.

Four people were arrested Sunday. Craig Thompson, 37, of Toronto, is charged with eight counts of break and entering, one count of failing to comply with recognizance

and seven counts of failing to comply with probation.

Kimberly Campbell, 55, Jared Learning, 30, and his brother Brent Learning, 32, are charged with three counts of possessing property obtained by crime.

Birch Cliff Public School celebrates its 100th anniversary with events planned for this Friday and Saturday.

Birch Cliff P.S. marks 100 years with celebrations this weekend Birch Cliff Public School celebrates its 100th anniversary with a number of events set for this Friday and Saturday.

The school first opened its doors to 45 students on Sept. 5, 1916 at the northwest corner of Kingston Road and Birchcliff Avenue.

The school’s first principal was Mrs. E. E. Reece, and she recorded the history of the first years of the school in a journal that highlighted students’ participation in local fairs and contributions to support Canadian soldiers in the First World War. A number of events are planned to celebrate.

On Friday, from noon to 4 p.m., the school’s gym and fields will see Games From The Past being played, and alumni both young and old

are invited to join in.

That evening there will be a Pub Night at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13, at 1577 Kingston Rd., starting at 5 p.m.

On Saturday, there will be an open house at the school starting at 11 a.m.

There will be alumni rooms from each decade set up in the school. From 1 to 2 p.m. there will be the raising of a centennial flag and a time capsule event.

And on Saturday night there is also an Alumni and Parent Dinner starting at 7 p.m. at the Qssis Banquet Hall, at 3474 Kingston Rd. For more info on the school and the 100th anniversary plans, go to www.birchcliffps100th.com

Doing social good now part of doing business with the City of Toronto Any company looking to do business with the city will have to do some social good as a part of their contracted work — and it will be easier for smaller companies in a position to do that work to get city contracts.

That was the message that Mayor John Tory and Deputy Mayor Pam McConnell recently served up at the Aboriginal Printing Corporation’s shop in Toronto’s PATH system.

“I believe the way we can best address poverty is by having access to opportunity,” said Tory.

“In a couple of respects what we’re doing today is a part, it’s a small part of a much broader program.”

Tory said that the program approved as a part of the poverty reduction strategy earlier this year, will see $1.8 billion worth of procurement requiring community benefits.

That means not only jobs and training for marginalized youth, but also contracts and subcontracts giving opportunity to smaller, more diverse companies. The Aboriginal Printing Corporation is one of those. The company is working on the printing needs with the engineering and construction consultancy Black & Veach, which is working on large water infrastructure projects with the city. This contract will likely mean just one or two new employees hired on — but it could be more, and Black & Veach project manager Sean Partington said the company is committed to more local employment.

The plan aims to have one third of all procurements over $5 million and 24 per cent of direct suppliers incorporate community benefits by 2018.

What the Toronto Police Se r v i c e n e e d s i s m o re Randy Arsenaults, people agreed last week at a forum on modernizing the force in Scarborough.

“He’s the type of officer that the public wants to see,” said Dionne Renee, an activist who ran for mayor in 2014.

“How can we get more of the Randall Arsenaults in the service?”

While admitting police face a real lack of trust in some Toronto communities, police brass knew what they have in Arsenault, a community engagement officer in southeast Scarborough.

Arsenault, whose Twitter handle is @PCArsenault, is that cop people always see posing for photos with other cops, neighbourhood kids and crossing guards.

Younger people on social media who hear about his taste in music (Boom 97.3) and his dogs (German shepherds) can become more comfortable with him, even like him.

“They see a whole other side to policing,” said Arsenault, who also credits “thinking outside the box” for helping build relationships with residents.

Following a task force report, the TPS is preparing to change how it deploys its officers and responds to crime - a final report reaches the Toronto Police Services Board in December - while it freezes hiring.

During a public meeting at McGregor Park Community Centre, TPSB chairperson Andy Pringle pledged the result will be more Arsenaults, “officers that you know and trust.”

What’s more, he said, you’ll be able to reach those familiar officers on mobile devices, not at a police station.

But while Renee appreciates Arsenault, wishing he could train other police in community engagement, she wanted to know how the force’s transformation can weed out the “bad apples” she is sure are there.

For Chanel Claybourn, a

Metroland file photo

Const. Randy Arsenault, shown here in front of Scarborough’s 43 Division, was recently praised at a meeting on the future of the Toronto Police Service.

community facilitator for Toronto Community Housing, “bad apples” among police outnumber the few “good guys” she’s seen.

Claybourn told the meeting her Dorset Park youth group created the Commons Lounge at the front of the Lawrence Avenue community centre “because of police brutality,” so people could feel safe there.

But when young people leave the lounge, even to play basketball on the sports pad outside, she said, they’re subject to “non-stop harrassment” by police.

“You don’t do anything” to stop that, she said to Pringle and the senior officers in the room.

Mayor John Tory, a member of the police board, was also listening.

Claybourn left after Pringle asked whether youth had done anything to report the police harrassment, and Supt.

Frank Bergen suggested joining the area’s Community Police Liaison Committee, a group he said meets monthly and provides “another way to change the culture of police.”

There’s one scheduled meeting left for consultations on the interim report and recommendations (which can be found at www.torontopolice. on.ca/TheWayForward/docs/ report_full.pdf).

That meeting is scheduled to be at Toronto City Hall on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. - a time slot Renee said was much too early though police said a meeting in Malvern will soon be added.

SPECIAL RETIREES' HEARING AID! A new hearing aid offer has been introduced for retirees.

The hearing aid is a great value, simple to operate and brings IMPROVED hearing to thousands!

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available.

The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments.

Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear.

Everything works automatically.

There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing.

Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to reduce

the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids.

Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings.

A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Call now to book your FREE hearing test, or visit

A road toll advocacy group is lukewarm on the province’s first HOT lane.

The high occupancy toll lane was recently introduced along the QEW, between Burlington and Oakville, charging single-occupant drivers, who have signed up, a fee for use.

The lanes remain free for carpooling provided vehicles contain at least one passenger.

It will cost $180 for three months’ HOT lane use, but Transport Futures doesn’t believe it’s enough to persuade people to get out of their congestion-causing cars and onto public transport.

In an email, the group that organizes the annual Transport Futures road pricing conference, points out HOT lane use will cost $3 maximum for two-way daily use – less than half that of equivalent trips made on GO Transit.

The group wants HOT lane costs to jump to $6.45 a day, equal to the current daily round-trip GO fare.

Organizers of the transitcentred festival that broadcasts short, silent films on subway video screens, gave away thousands of dollars in cash and prizes, including $3,000 to Bangladeshi filmmaker Rakib Boby who scored the most votes for the viewers’ choice award.

Another scheme to introduce bike licences in Toronto is set

to be introduced at the Sept.

27 public works and infrastructure committee meeting at City Hall.

The motion by member Stephen Holyday will be to study a potential licence system for city cyclists.

However, past proposals have been shot down, in part because of the expense required for licensing and overseeing the city’s cycling population. delaYs MIMIco IMproVeMents wMetrolInX

The Mimico Residents Association is taking Metrolinx to task for delaying accessibility improvements to the Mimico GO station.

The construction of two pedestrian tunnels plus elevators and stairs was supposed to have begun this year, but Metrolinx now plans to start the work in 2018, with completion set for early 2021.

Experts look to solve the ‘last mile’ RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com It’s something urban planners have grappled with for decades: how to improve the last mile of travel between a transit station and home or work?

A group of transportation experts sought answers to that very question during the Solving the Last Mile discussion at Ryerson University.

The highly anticipated event was sold out for weeks, and even became a trending Twitter topic Sept. 13 evening.

Moderated by broadcaster Steve Paikin, a discussion “unpanel” spent nearly two hours debating solutions on better linking that last mile of transit access.

For millions of regional commuters, the answer to the last mile is using infrequent and unreliable transit.

Antoine Belaieff from Metrolinx said the agency has to provide significant amounts of free parking at its stations to entice commuters, even though it means swallowing up valuable land to build lots and requiring

significant provincial subsidy for operations.

“We have steadily increased parking where we are one of the largest authorities in North America now,” said Balaieff, Metrolinx’s director for regional planning.

Lack of Land “More and more we’re running out of land and hitting against physical constraints, such as local roads which are congested.

“Each new space we build in a parking garage is about $40,000…so each time you drive to the station, the government writes a $40,000 cheque to store your car during the day.”

Lauren Isaac pushed emerging technology as a potential solution to the last mile conundrum.

The San Francisco transportation manager and blogger said Bay Area transit has increasingly partnered with private sector tech companies to provide shuttle or carpooling services.

“In the Bay Area we’re living and breathing these

tech startups every day, and it feels like there’s a new carpooling app every month,” said Isaac.

Not only is partnering with tech companies a win for local transit, it also affords the opportunity for data collection on transportation habits to inform future planning, said Isaac.

Solutions for improving the last mile will come with better land use decisions than they will from seeking to reduce trip times , argued Ryerson professor Mustafa Haider.

“You have to understand congestion is a sign of economic health,” said Haider.

“Detroit solved its traffic issues by going bankrupt.”

Of great concern, said Haider, is the politicallydriven building of new transit which has distorted property values, as seen by new housing development near stations pricing out large segments of the population.

“To solve last mile and transportation problems, we have to stop politicians from making these decisions which are really hurting us and the country,” he said.

Police consider equiping officers with body cameras DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com It will cost the Toronto Police Service $71 million to equip the service with body cameras – and the technology might have other problems besides the cost, according to a report that will be debated at the October Toronto Police Services Board meeting.

The report arrived on boardmembers’ desks at the start of the Sept. 15 meeting-too late for board members to be able to digest and debate its contents.

But it has been a long time coming.

The pilot project looking at body-worn cameras began in 2014, attaching the devices to 85 officers interacting with members of the public in Scarborough, east-end Toronto and in traffic situations.

The report noted that the devices, which allow the recording and storage of interactions with police and the public have found support among the public, and to a lesser degree among officers equipped with them.

Officers became more supportive of the technology the longer they used it. But they noted some issues, particularly in the exercise of discretion

Scarborough Business Association’s Networking After 5 begins The Scarborough Business Association launches its new networking event, Networking After 5, on Wednesday, Sept. 28.

The inaugural reception takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Bluffer’s Park Restaurant, 7 Brimley Rd. The event is free for both members and nonmembers of the Scarborough Business Association. Parking is free and there will be a cash bar. It’s requested attendees register by Sept. 26 at http:// tinyurl.com/SBAbluffers “It’s a chance for business community members to get together once a month and network.” said the SBA’s Raffy Choujian. “It’s also a great opportunity to come and see different businesses within the Scarborough community. “ Networking After 5 will be held the fourth Wednesday of every month. In October the event will be held at Café Mirage. For more information, or to register for events, please visit www. scarboroughbusinessassociation.com or call 416-972-6482.

when deciding whether to charge or warn members of the public.

The study found that indeed, officers tended to have higher arrests and fewer Provincial Offences Act warnings compared to the previous year.

As well, the technology has issues.

Battery life was not always adequate,

and the procedures for uploading and categorizing the tapes was onerous enough to have an impact on service.

Mayor John Tory, who sits on the Police Services Board, said in spite of all that he supported the use of the cameras, but at first glance he wasn’t satisfied with the extent of

the pilot project.

“There’s a lot more information we need from that evaluation of that pilot project, and other cities, before you could even decide if you wanted to go to an RFP,” said Tory.

“I’m generally in favour of the concept. It’s a very expensive proposition and it raises the question:

Come for a visit. But maybe don’t move in.

THE MORE YOU LIVE, THE MORE YOU LEAVE TO REMEMBER. Not that we don’t like you. On the contrary. It’s because we want to see you get the very most out of life before you need us.

Check the batteries in your smoke detectors. Avoid shark-infested waters. Skydive only with a certified instructor.

Do what it takes to go the distance.

And take the opportunity to consider how, when the time comes, you want to be remembered. Visit us at Not-Yet.ca to learn why pre-planning your final goodbye is one more sensible choice to make.

do you have to have it on every single officer? The pilot project indicated that literally hours were spent managing the information and cataloguing it when you get back to the station.

“This is clearly a major commitment of police resources managing the video.”

Aga Khan presented with Clarkson award during Toronto event His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV was scheduled to be awarded the inaugural Adrienne Clarkson Prize for Global Citizenship yesterday night at a ceremony in downtown Toronto.

The prize, to be handed out at the Royal Conservatory of Music, will be given annually to an individual “who has through thought and dialogue, encouraged approaches and strategies that strive to remove barriers, change attitudes, and reinforce the principles of tolerance and respect,” according to a release.

He also funded the development of the Aga Khan Museum, which is situated in the Don Mills Road and Wynford Drive area of North York.

In a release, Clarkson, who will present the 79-year-old Aga Khan with the award, said “through his words, through his actions, and through the results obtained by the institutions that he has pioneered, he is a beacon of light in much of the world’s conflicting darkness.”

2016 NORTH AMERICAN CAR OF THE YEAR

MODEL FC2E5GE

TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

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

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 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.

Pride vows to be more inclusive in wake of Black Lives Matter protest JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Pride Toronto has issued an apology to Black Lives Matter Toronto (BLMTO), reaffirming its commitment to promises made to the group and vowing to do more to resolve divisions within the community.

BLMTO led this year’s Pride Parade as Pride’s honoured group and made headlines when they stopped the parade to protest treatment of African-Canadians by both the Pride organization and by police.

The parade continued after then-Pride chair Mathieu Chantelois signed off on a list of demands made by the protesters, which included demands that police not take part in the Pride Parade.

Chantelois later acknowledged that he alone did not have the power to ensure police would be uninvited in future years, sparking further anger from BLMTO. Following the city’s firstever Pride Month, Pride solic-

ited feedback via email and through a pair of town hall meetings on how to improve and create a safer, more inclusive environment.

‘DiviDeD’ “While it wouldn’t be possible to accurately summarize the viewpoints expressed by all of you, the responses we received clearly demonstrate a very divided community,” Pride’s board of directors said in a statement.

“Race and gender are, perhaps not unlike the rest of society, clearly the issues with which our community has the greatest difficulty with.”

The statement offered several apologies to BLMTO and to those who have felt marginalized by Pride over the years.

“Pride Toronto wants to begin by apologizing emphatically and unreservedly for its role in deepening the divisions in our community, for a history of anti-blackness and repeated marginalization of

the marginalized within our community that our organization has continued,” it read.

Pride went on to apologize to members of the law enforcement community who have felt attacked or targeted by the community.

The organization noted its goal in having BLMTO lead the parade was to create discussion and shine a light on racial issues. Pride acknowledged that it was “not properly prepared for the racism this would ignite.”

Pride vowed to be more open, transparent and inclusive in the future, to listen more closely to all members of the LGBTQ community and to live up to the commitments made by Chantelois, who has since left the organization.

“We remain committed to demonstrating progress on each and every item and, as agreed, working with these groups to hold a public town hall this winter to demonstrate progress and plans to deliver on these commitments,” the statement read.

Metrolinx hints at clean energy sources for LRT RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Metrolinx is hinting at a cleaner energy alternative for an unpopular natural gas plant it’s proposing to build as a backup power source for the Eglinton Crosstown, a light rail transit (LRT) line being built across Eglinton Avenue between Mount Dennis (Weston Road) and Kennedy Station.

The plant, which could be as tall as four or five storeys, is to be located at the agency’s planned Mount Dennis facility on the former Kodak Lands.

It was initially unveiled by Metrolinx’s private construction partner Crosslinx Transit Solutions as a mode for keeping the Crosstown LRT running in the event of power failure. But the proposal has attracted vocal opposition from residents concerned about harmful emissions

from the plant wafting into their backyards.

Now, Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig has confirmed a report on alternatives is coming, although he did not clarify when that will be exactly.

“We’re looking at business cases and technical reports and expect to come out with a formal proposal in the coming weeks or months,” said McCuaig, following Metrolinx’s quarterly meeting of its board of directors this month. “It’s very soon to table an alternative to what was proposed.”

He reiterated a point often made by Metrolinx management that a backup power generator, whatever the energy source, is critical for smooth operation of the Crosstown after it opens in 2021.

“We all know there are instances where existing

transit systems fail when there are power failures, and we think it’s important …to have an alternative so that the first reaction to a power failure is not a shutdown of the RT system,” he said. “We think it’s important to have this kind of redundancy, and we’re looking at alternative ways to achieve that.”

A Metrolinx official told a community meeting in York earlier this year use of the plant would be restricted to five to 10 days a year in the event of emergency. The official also voiced skepticism a green energy source could provide the 18-megawatts of energy required for powering the Crosstown.

But after objections were raised, Metrolinx agreed to a city request to postpone design work for the natural gas plant and instead collaborate with Toronto Hydro on a cleaner energy alternative.

Career conference for immigrant professionals One of Toronto’s largest career development events for immigrants returns to the city this Saturday.

More than 1,000 internationally trained professionals are expected at the annual Professionals Day, a job fair and career conference presented by CPAC (Cross-cultural Professionals Association of Canada).

The event, at Armenian Youth Centre of Toronto, which is near Victoria Park Avenue and Hwy. 401, will

include break-out sessions on such topics as Working for the Government, Paving the Entrepreneurial Path and Networking Dos and Don’ts.

Professionals Day “CPACS’s Professionals Day is one of our most successful events for good reason,” Margaret Yang, president of the Scarborough-based non-profit group, said in a release.

“It fills a gap of demand for internationally trained professionals to gain insights into career development in Canada.”

Carl Haim, an assistant vice-president of human resources consulting at Foresters Financial, will speak at the conference on resolving workplace conflict from a cultural perspective.

Real issue fueling prices in Toronto area is lack of inventory, says TREB

Emily, SickKids Leukemia Patient

Today, over 80% of Canadian kids survive cancer.

That’s an achievement.

And a challenge.

The Hospital for Sick Children is a leader in the fight against childhood cancer. Over 1,400 children in Canada are newly diagnosed with cancer each year, and a quarter of them come to the Garron Family Cancer Centre at SickKids. We’re creating a new reality: cancer is no longer a death sentence for children. In fact, in the last 50 years, the survival rate for childhood cancer has increased from 10% to over 80%. Our goal is 100%. Help us get there.

>>>from page 1 that are bought but left vacant, a measure also seeming to target foreign buyers.

On Tuesday, Karygiannis wouldn’t release the results of his local survey in detail but said constituents have told him they’re feeling the effects of rapidly-rising house prices fueled in part by foreign purchases.

“I’ve been hearing from a lot of people in my ward that we have absentee landlords,” he said.

Visiting a North York factory last week, Toronto Mayor John Tory said city officials are “keeping a very close eye” on the market in Vancouver, and seeking advice.

But asked whether the city supports the same measures British Columbia has allowed

in Vancouver, Tory said it doesn’t.

“It’s a marketplace at work,” he said.

“Toronto is not Vancouver, a n d Va n c o u v e r i s n o t Toronto.”

Karygiannis acknowledged opinions he gathered in his ward may be exceptional, but added he thinks Vancouver’s recent moves have “cooled the market considerably.

Maybe it’s time that we cooled (Toronto’s) market down.”

If annual price increases of 20 per cent continue, he said, it could soon put home ownership out of reach for many.

“How would our kids be able to afford homes?”

Jason Mercer, a spokesperson for the Toronto Real Estate Board, said TREB is

polling its members, particularly people representing buyers over the last year, hoping to get a handle on the number of foreign buyers.

Canada’s last federal budget promised Statistics Canada $500,000 to collect data on foreign buyers across the country.

“More information on the extent of foreign activity will be available as we move through the fall,” Mercer said Tuesday.

If they want markets to be more balanced, governments can’t just look at cooling demand in the Greater Toronto Area, he argued.

“A real issue we have in the GTA today is lack of inventory,” which leads to more competition on sales, Mercer said.

Brave T.O. slated for this Saturday >>>from page 1 There are different course options, offering casual to competitive runs, with a three-kilometre friendly race available.

Racers of all ages can participate. Racers younger than 13 must participate with a parent or guardian, and racers under 18 years old need waivers signed by parents or guardians.

Rush's Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson accept key to the city Justin skinner jskinner@insidetoronto.con Over the course of their Hall of Fame career, Rush frontman Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson have traveled the world, but few if any places remain closer to the heart for the duo than Willowdale.

Lee and Lifeson met in the North York neighbourhood, starting their musical career there before teaming up with drummer Neil Peart to form the iconic prog rock band.

It was therefore fitting that Lee and Lifeson were back in their old stomping grounds on Saturday to both receive the key to the city from mayor John Tory and celebrate the new Lee Lifeson Art Park at the corner of Doris and Princess avenues.

Hundreds gathered in the park to see their rock icons be so honoured, braving a chilly rain to cheer on their heroes.

“We grew up right around here, we hung out right around here, we skipped school right around here,” Lee said at the event.

“We played Earl Haig probably five times…in the early days,” Lifeson added. “It was known as

Staff/Metroland

Mayor John Tory (right) presents Rush members Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee (left) with keys to the city Saturday during the official opening ceremony for Lee Lifeson Art Park in Willowdale.

The Factory.”

Lee said he was “thrilled and amazed” to be recognized with a park named after him and his bandmate of nearly 50 years.

More importantly, he said, the park will provide a huge benefit

to Willowdale residents and others from across the city.

“We’re really happy for the community that there’s some investment in art and leisure for this neighbourhood,” he said.

The 7,000 square metre Lee

Lifeson Art Park features musicthemed installations, a small amphitheatre stage to give up-andcoming Toronto artists a place to play and a large pavilion bearing the likenesses of Lee and Lifeson.

“Art is a thing that you pour your heart into, that whatever you’re doing, whatever aspect of life, whatever situation you find yourself in, art elevates, art heals,” Lee said.

“It’s what’s given us everything in our lives, so to be associated with that kind of thought and that concept is amazing to me…fantastic.”

Willowdale councilor John Filion was instrumental behind having the park named after two of Canada’s best-known and most beloved musicians. The councilor said the decision to name it after Lee and Lifeson came on quickly.

“I said ‘it should be somebody in the arts, it should be somebody musical, it needs to be somebody or some people who are fantastic, and wouldn’t it be great if they were from Willowdale?’” he recalled. “It took about three seconds before the light went on.

“We wanted to name the park after them not just because they’re

rock stars and not just because they’ve sold many, many, many millions of albums and sellout concerts around the world and have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but also just because they are such extraordinary, extraordinary musicians.”

Before handing Lee and Lifeson the key to the city, Tory noted Rush has always done the city proud, pointing to the band’s eagerness to play SARSfest in 2003 to boost Toronto’s sagging tourism industry and similar efforts to boost morale following severe flooding in Alberta years later.

“They’ve done credit to this city,” he said. “We’re proud of them in this city.”

While the band played what was touted as its last tour to mark its R40 box set compilation in 2015, both Lee and Lifeson say they enjoy playing and neither ruled out further collaborations.

Whether they take up their instruments again for another tour or album, their rock legacy was further cemented with the park naming.

“This park will still be here weeks after we’re gone,” Lifeson joked.

Notice of Commencement Environmental Screening of Diesel Power Generation for the 9 Channel Nine Court Curtailment Project Bell Media, a division of BCE Inc. (the Proponent), is proposing to operate three existing 2.5 megawatt (MW) diesel generators at the 9 Channel Nine Court location in Scarborough, Ontario (the Facility) (see map). The generators will be used on a periodic basis to provide power to the Facility during peak electricity demand periods when there is excessive strain on the Ontario electricity grid. The generators were upgraded in 2015 and have been used to provide back up power to the Facility. The only construction activities associated with the project will be to support pollution control.

They had both been cutting grass to finance their tuitions and decided to go on after University and turn that into a business of their own.

In 2005, it was the two of them and a pick-up truck. Now, they have over 50 trucks all over the GTA, including two arbor-

Molten glass leak at factory safely contained Powell said. “The fact that the people at the plant knew how to handle the emergency was a good thing. We were there to assist them if it got out of hand.”

No one was hurt.

Firefighters cleared the scene shortly before 7 a.m.

“It had the potential to be much worse than it was, but it was handled very professionally and the safety protocols that were in place mitigated any further damage,” Powell said. chess club meets sundAys wAgincourt

The Knox Nearly New Shop in Agincourt has re-opened for the fall season.

Sale proceeds go to fund church outreach programs in the community. chArged in Atm frAud probe wthree

Three people face a total of 47 charges in an ATM fraud investigation.

The probe, conducted by Toronto police’s financial crimes unit, began in March and concluded Wednesday with the execution of search warrants and three arrests.

Police allege male suspects installed skimming equipment over ATMs and surreptitiously recorded victims as they entered their PINs on the keypads.

“The men would then use this information to commit credit card fraud,” police alleged in a news release this month.

Valeri Gueorgiev, 55, of Toronto faces charges, including unauthorized use of a credit card, making instruments to be used to commit forgery and three counts of attempted fraud under $5,000.

Phil Stavros, 29, of Toronto

faces charges, including two counts of uttering forged document, four counts of unauthorized use of credit card data and four counts of fraud under $5,000.

Svetloza Aleksiev, 35, of Toronto is charged with four counts of unauthorized use of credit card data, four counts of fraud under $5,000 and one count each of possessing an instrument for copying a credit card and possessing proceeds obtained by crime.

Police warn that people should always cover the keypads when entering PINs to avoid becoming a victim.

Anyone with information on this investigation is asked to call police at 416808-7300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).

nAmed tdsb director wmAlloy Toronto District School Board (TDSB) chair Robin Pilkey announced that Interim Director of Education Dr. John Malloy has been appointed to the role on a permanent basis.

Since joining Canada’s largest school board in January of this year, Malloy has introduced a board-wide Learning Centre strategy that moves resources closer to classrooms and improves school responsiveness to student, parent/guardian and community needs.

“After nine months with the TDSB, it became clear to the search committee, trustees and senior staff that John Malloy is the director we need now and in the years ahead,” Pilkey said in a statement.

Fire crews helped workers at a Scarborough factory control a molten glass leak last week.

Firefighters were called to the Owens-Corning plant at 3450 McNicoll Ave. at about 3:40 a.m. on Sept. 14.

District chief Stephan Powell said the molten glass leak on the second floor had the potential to cause a large explosion and fire.

“Picture it almost like lava running out of the foundry,” he said, adding the plant engineer warned fire crews of the possibility of an explosion if the situation wasn’t handled properly.

“We backed up the staff there with our 65-mm hoses, and the staff at the factory used their 38-mm hoses to stem the flow of molten glass and essentially freeze the glass and plug the leak,”
