MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com There’s joy in the Parenting and Family Literacy Centre in Oakridge Junior Public School as parent worker Alex Koroneos leads a dozen toddlers in twirling squares of cloth to music. Ninety per cent of parents coming to this room, four days a week, are newcomers to Canada, learning skills they can take home, says Koroneos. "It demystifies the whole Canadian school system for them." The Byng Avenue school, and Samuel Hearne Middle School next door, function as community resource centres, not just for children but their parents too. They need whatever help they can get. Raising the Village, a new City of Toronto initiative, ranks Oakridge - a pocket in Scarborough of modest houses, apartment towers and auto-related businesses north of Danforth Avenue - at the top of its list for neighbourhoods with the most "inequities" when it comes to raising children. Oakridge’s family poverty rate is nearly 55 per cent. In Etobicoke’s very affluent Kingsway South neighbourhood, at the other end of the rankings, it’s just above five per cent. Toronto divides into rich and poor areas. Raising the Village is meant to show authorities where surgical investments in

"It’s a mammoth program that’s going to take years to fine tune," James Pasternak, a North York councillor, said last month. "I think this mayor and this administration is prepared to develop it and invest in it," Pasternak said, but adding those resources to build a more child-friendly city won’t be cheap. The two Oakridge schools, with 1,200 students between them, already get extra funding to cover costs of field trips, free eyeglasses, pediatric clinic referrals, hearing and dental screenings. They have a settlement worker, teaching and

learning coaches. They host meetings for parents, and stay open until 10 p.m. as subsidized community spaces. They hire parent volunteers as lunchroom supervisors and clerical staff; many were teachers or administrators back home, said Oakridge’s principal, Heather Groves. After years of effort, Oakridge and Hearne just got artificial turf laid on the field between them. The neighbourhood lacks recreational green spaces for children, and so many were on the field, grass wouldn’t grow. Parents said, "Our kids have to stay home in the buildings because there’s nowhere to play," said Sohail Shaikh, Hearne’s principal. Many Oakridge parents, now predominately South Asian, arrived in Canada with one or more university degrees, though
those may not be recognized here. They’re dedicated to their children, Shaikh said. Kingsway South, between Dundas Street West and Bloor Street West, is a very different place. It’s an "extraordinarily homogenous" neighbourhood of single-family households led by professional couples, and blessed with parks and good neighbourhood schools within walking distance, said Pamela Gough, the area’s public school trustee. Kingsway’s children, she said, are well-supported by families attentive to their needs, and emerge from schools having had high-quality education and guidance. "You’ve got the basics for success right there." Raising the Village notes only three per cent of children in Kingsway South were not participating in either arts or sports,
compared to 54 per cent in Glenfield-Jane Heights. Public school trustee Tiffany Ford, who represents that North York neighbourhood, said many parents along Jane Street and other marginalized communities find it hard to get children into arts and sports programs. Sometimes lack of information, transportation or the costs of programs can be a barrier, said Ford. "As a resident, I can see there’s a lot of programming here, especially in Jane-Finch, but it’s still not enough." Toronto’s six-year-old Child and Family Network (which includes school boards, United Way and Ontario’s education ministry) based Raising the Village’s "inequities score" on five factors (see sidebar), chosen "because they are known social determinants of child health." Family poverty is given the most weight, but parental unemployment, low parental education, lack of knowledge of English or French, and housing "below adequacy, affordability or suitability" standards count too. Neighbourhoods with the least "inequities" get a negative score. Oakridge is highlighted as the one with greatest inequity, but the score "doesn’t do justice to the whole story," said Parthi Kandavel, its public board trustee. Some poverty in Oakridge spans generations, and social problems result, but many are recent immigrants or refugees working hard to make their way out of social housing, Kandavel said. "The supports are there and should help. Will it change the outcome?"

ABOUT US
Tougher penalties could curb distracted driving The symbolism was perhaps a bit heavy handed, but the message was crystal clear. In the continuing effort by police to convince drivers that texting or talking on cellphones while behind the wheel can be disastrous, Toronto police recently put a hearse into service as an unmarked vehicle. The grim visual, part of a weeklong effort to combat distracted driving in the city, was intended to convey the message to motorists that using mobile hand-held devices could land you or someone else in that sombre vehicle, so common to funeral processions. If the approach seems dramatic, it’s important to point out that authorities are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to ending distracted driving, as they are with impaired driving, despite decades of powerful messaging and RIDE campaigns. This month the OPP held its own distracted driving campaign and laid more than 2,400 distraction-related charges over the period of a week. The OPP say deaths linked to distracted driving are outpacing those due to speed, so far in 2017. Last year, police observed the phenomenon become even more common than drunk driving. By the end of August last year, there were 38 distracted-driving deaths, compared to 19 impaired-related fatalities. Overall, 2016 saw 309 traffic fatalities on OPP-patrolled roads, up from 301 the year before, and distracted driving was one of the main causes. In Ontario, texting, talking into a hand-held mobile device, even eating while driving, can result in a fine between $490 and $1,000, plus the loss of three demerit points. A ticket can also result in a $200 or more uptick on your insurance bill. Distracted driving has been illegal in this province since 2009. Insurance Bureau of Canada statistics show that a driver is 23 times more likely to be involved in a collision if texting while driving and four times more likely if talking on a cellphone. Eighty per cent of collisions involve some sort of driver inattention. But drivers continue to do it. A Canadian Automobile Association survey, conducted late last year, revealed that 33 per cent of Canadians admit to texting at red lights. If stiffer penalties are what’s required (Transport Minister Marc Garneau is calling for national standards on fines) then they should be implemented. We can’t allow distracted drivers to continue to make our roads more dangerous.

On poverty, Toronto listens to experts Years ago, Cassandra Chambers was in a parking lot in Scarborough’s Bay Mills area talking to six youths who, like her, were West Indian. They believed their only option was playing basketball or rapping, things "the whole society and media told them they were good at," she remembers. To them, high school "was an elaborate daycare." Chambers took those kids to Union Station, then randomly stopped people "who looked like us," on their way to accounting, media and marketing jobs. One man did mineral trades. Two youths got placements with him, and Chambers, trained as a legal assistant, became a social worker, running a program called Youth Outside

erty strategy. The group is diverse in cultures, ages, levels of poverty. Hearing what other members struggled through inspired Chambers, showing her, "One, you know you’re not alone, and two, you can help." How do you interview for a job when you’re missing teeth, or don’t have a phone? Chambers has asked around to find clothing for people seeking jobs. "That helps one or two, but the reality is the number of people in poverty that want to work is in the thousands," she says. LEAG will focus on getting over the obstacles keeping people poor. Many LEAG members are experts in this, surviving addictions, criminal charges,
post-partum depression as single mothers, sudden unemployment; some used the city’s shelter system, says Pam McConnell, downtown councillor and Toronto’s poverty reduction advocate. The group’s not an experiment, she says. "It’s the way in which we should do business." Chambers, who lives in Malvern and recently became an artisan baker, believes the anti-poverty strategy is "on a good path." Programs fail because they’re done by people who’ve never been poor, she says, but this is "coming down the ladder, and asking, ’What are you facing, what is your fight?’" Reach Mike Adler at madler@insidetoronto.com

Put your energy into finding funding, Mayor Tory tells critics RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Toronto Council voted 26-18 to advance the subway station plan for a single station east of Kennedy Station replacing the dilapidated Scarborough RT line. The vote affirms the subway plan will progress with planning and design work, along with a plan to build an expanded bus terminal at Scarborough Town Centre. Council did not support a motion from Josh Matlow seeking a study comparing cost benefits of the subway extension with a previously approved but now cancelled plan, voting against the councillor’s motion 17-27. Following the vote, which ended a full day of often rancorous debate, May-
or John Tory expressed relief but also lashed out at critics of the plan. The subway extension project has escalated in cost to $3.35-billion and all but exhausts the existing budget for the previously approved Scarborough network plan that now leaves an eastern extension of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT unfunded. Rather than derail the subway plan, Tory said council critics of the plan should focus on convincing other levels of government to fund the full plan. "I hope that maybe we can move forward from this continuous re-deciding of the question of LRT versus subway," said Tory flanked by fellow subway supporters Tuesday evening following the debate. "If they could devote 10 per cent of the energy devoted to fighting (the subway) to help me fight for (better funding) they would be doing a far greater service to the people of Toronto." Matlow, who was one of

Toronto’s chief planner, Jennifer Keesmaat, answers a question from Councillor Josh Matlow during city council discussion on the Scarborough subway line. Toronto Council voted 26-18 to advance the subway extension. several LRT-supporting councillors to face off against the mayor during the council debate vowed to keep fighting the subway project, which he termed a financial boondoggle. He called the council vote denying his motion "reckless and irresponsible".
"I believe we need to move forward with facts, not hearsay," said Matlow. "If the mayor and some members of council don’t even want to look at that then why do we pretend we want the facts in front of us?" During the debate, Tory was called out by Matlow
and others for citing unproven contentions the new subway station will save travel time, something he admitted he had heard from Scarborough residents. In response Tory seemingly took a page from U.S. president Donald Trump, angrily accusing critics of the plan, of which he includ-
ed some journalists, of questioning his integrity. "I take offense at a journalist who tweeted I was basically being dishonest by simple r˚eciting what people had told me (at a public meeting)," he said. As per the original approval, city staff will update council on designs for the subway station, likely in spring of 2018. Council has debated the matter 10 times now, something which should be expected given the cost of the project and the complexity of transit infrastructure, said Councillor Shelley Carroll who supports the LRT plan. Council also supported a motion from Scarborough cou˚ncillor Paul Ainslie seeking a firm timeline and funding plan for the Crosstown extension with a report due next year. Construction on the subway station is expected to take at least six years and not likely to begin until at least 2020.

organized by the Birchmount Bluffs Neighbourhood Centre Tuesday. The event, held at the centre, included panel presentations, workshops, discussions and a chance for area residents to connect with civic groups working on issues such as housing, transit and increasing the minimum wage. "Poverty is an issue. I live in Toronto Community Housing, a very old, a very run-down building," said Line, adding the elevators are frequently out of service, leaving her stranded either in the lobby or in her eighth-floor unit. Line said she’d like to see "better care of Toronto Community Housing because if I’m going to be in poverty then at least I won’t have to live like a dog.

"I was an active working adult until (then)," the Scarborough resident said. "My life changed from that moment on." Line, who now gets around in a scooter, said she was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis that went undetected for years. She said she had to leave her job and soon became "poor". "It wasn’t a choice to have to be on special pensions," she said. "Then to go out into the community and find all these barriers...

poverty as a result of lost manufacturing jobs. "There aren’t a lot of decent jobs in Scarborough for low-income folks," he said. "People living in poverty... don’t have liveable income, so they’re living well below the poverty line." Meyers is pushing for increasing the minimum wage "so people can have a liveable income." "We want more people who aren’t engaged at this point to know that they can be and they can make a difference," he noted. Kingsley Kwok of Scarborough Transit Action spoke to seniors about improving local transit. "City council had passed a resolution to allow for a discount pass for low-income users of the TTC but that still has to be implemented," he said in an interview. "We want to get it going as soon as possible because those in poverty will benefit from this."

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Scarborough Home for Sale
UP TO
25% OFF
Scarborough - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

Scarborough residents split at meeting over transit Despite claims, Scarborough isn’t united behind subway plan MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Murto Hilali is 14. He doesn’t control Toronto’s purse-strings. But the young East Scarborough resident has a stake in which set of transit projects for the area goes forward: by the time one is built, he said, he’ll be looking for a job. Toronto City Council this week was set to advance a one-stop subway extension to Scarborough Town Centre, plus a nowunfunded Eglinton East light-rail-transit line - unless opponents managed to derail the subway, and try building the Eglinton East plus a seven-stop Scarborough LRT in its place. At a public meeting in Scarborough Village, Hilali said he’d prefer not to look for a job downtown.
"In my opinion, the LRT will bring development into Scarborough, where the subway will just help people get out," he said. Others in the overflowing crowd Monday offered different opinions, of course, but the meeting seemed to disprove Mayor John Tory’s argument Scarborough residents are united behind the proposed subway because their political representatives are. Scarborough East Councillor Paul Ainslie, the area’s lone political holdout, called light rail "a proven off-the-shelf technology" and said it’s a "huge concern" the subway budget keeps going up and projected ridership down. Before council opted for a subway in 2013, the province offered to fully fund and pay to operate the seven-stop Scarborough LRT for 60 years, Ainsilie added. "That’s a lot of money we quickly said no to." Scarborough Centre Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker, however, said the new Scarborough
Dan Pearce/Metroland
Scarborough councillors Glenn De Baeremaeker and Paul Ainslie, and other panelists, at an emotionally-charged Scarborough subway extension debate at Scarborough Village Community Recreation Centre Monday, March 27. Centre subway station will be one of the busiest ever built in Toronto. "Building this subway is not the horrendous crime some people would like you to believe," he said, arguing it’s logical to serve the demand around Scarborough Town Cen-
tre, which will remain a busy hub for buses. Scarborough Centre has had the aging Scarborough Rapid Transit line running along "the back end of industrial buildings" - for 35 years and it’s brought the area little in development and jobs, De
Baeremaeker said, and replacing it with a new LRT (which would also continue north of Highway 401) would do no better. Scarborough subway is now the only major proposed transit project in Toronto that’s fully funded; not building it would be
"craziness," said De Baeremaeker, who suggested Hilali may not have to work downtown if Scarborough Centre is successfully developed. Tricia Wood, a panellist at the meeting, argued swapping the original LRT plan for a one-stop subway is "a terrible loss of local transit" for Scarborough. The subway extension won’t give people an alternative to driving, while two LRT lines would spread development on Scarborough’s major boulevards and help more people, said Wood, a geography professor and Torontoist columnist. Council previously voted for a package that included the subway and 17stop Eglinton East line. "If it’s really both, and not a bait and switch, then build the Eglinton East first," Wood said. "You’ve got at least to 2020 to find money for the subway too." De Baeremaeker, though, said the tax increase supporting the projects specifically says "for the Scarborough Subway."
MS Society looking for gaming centre volunteers
insidetoronto.com
Volunteers needed for one or two shifts a month The MS Society of Canada is looking for people to volunteer and help people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is an auto-immune disease that affects the central nervous system; brain and spinal cord. People who are affected by this disease often have mobility issues and find it difficult to walk without equipment. When Janet MacNeil was diagnosed with MS over 15 years ago, she found it difficult to leave home due to unpredictable symptoms that affected her strength and balance.
After the MS Society encouraged her to see an occupational therapist, MacNeil was given a walker to use. "I’ll never forget going out for lunch that first time, after two years at home," MacNeil said in a press release. "My freedom was back and I was able to go out into the community again." Despite new treatments, people with MS can still experience relapses or longer term symptoms which can severely impact mobility. These mobility issues can be solved with equipment, but equipment can be expensive and government programs are limited. Dolphin Gaming Centre, located near Eglinton and Warden, helps make these purchases possible

this entertainment centre. Volunteers let customers know that a portion of the proceeds will be going toward purchasing mobili-
ty and safety equipment for people living with MS in Toronto. More volunteers are urgently needed to ensure
this program can continue. The MS Society is looking for new volunteers to cover two-hour shifts at the hall once or twice per month. "This is a tremendously important volunteer role, because with every shift that a person volunteers at the Dolphin Gaming Center," said Michelle Kingson, who helps with community partnership and events at MS Society, in a press release. "They help to raise about $400 toward equipment purchases." If you are interested in becoming a volunteer to support the equipment program, contact Michelle at volunteer@msssociety.ca or by calling 1-800268-7582, ext. 3207. Full training will be provided and a variety of times and days of week are available.

Study says construction could begin next year, finish in 2020 An underpass and twin pedestrian bridges are being proposed for a GO Rail crossing on Steeles Avenue west of Kennedy Road.

forward - after years of stalled development plans on Steeles, and disputes between Toronto and Markham on how to pay for it - because of coming improvements to the Stouffville GO
Rail Corridor. Cost estimates for the work (details are at www.toronto.ca/steelesbridge) don’t include purchases of parts from 13 adjacent properties and subsurface easements recommended in the Steeles Avenue East Bridge study.The pedestrian bridges east and west of the proposed rail bridge would be covered. A traffic management plan will be developed to m aintain two lanes of traffic in either direction on Steeles at all times and to maintain access to businesses during construction, the city says. The city expects to award a construction contract this fall, and to start work next spring or summer. The entire project should be completed in 2020.

Lease expiring, but Birkdale Residence’s fate uncertain Toronto Council prepared to expropriate Ellesmere Road land MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com With days to go until its lease expired, talks were said to be continuing on how to save a mid-Scarborough emergency shelter for women and children. Birkdale Residence has been renting space in an Ellesmere Road building since 1996, and on Jan. 31, Toronto Council authorized the city to expropriate the property, if that’s necessary to keep the shelter running. Council was told the shelter, housing up to 65 families led by women, enjoys strong community support, but the owner asked the city last August to close Birkdale by Sept. 30. The owner agreed to ex-

Earlier this year, it appeared "unlikely" a satisfactory deal could be made to extend the lease, and though a sale to the city was possible, a report noted, "the owner anticipates being able to receive a higher price elsewhere." This week, Scarborough
Centre Councillor Michael Thompson said the shelter is an "extremely important" refuge for women and children, and he’s heard discussions on its future are continuing. Thompson said he was hopeful the lease can be extended but added the city is willing to use expropriation to buy the property at market value.
Group wishes police had sought their help in search

Group heard missing senior was found dead

An elderly man’s death in their neighbourhood has residents wondering why Toronto police don’t ask community groups to help find missing people. Members of Rosewood Taxpayers’ Association say police were in their North Scarborough area searching for Shou Ren Luo, 84, but few residents knew until it was too late. The senior went miss-
ing the night of March 15 near Brimley Road and Finch Avenue East. Police asked for help finding him several times on Twitter, then reported he was "located" on March 19 and thanked the public "for their assistance." People in Rosewood, however, heard the man was found dead, a fact police won’t confirm. "We don’t go into the condition of people when they’re located," unless a death is considered suspicious, said Cons. David Hopkinson. "That person or their
family have the right to their privacy." Had police tapped the association’s resources for a search, the outcome could have been different, said Courtney Fisher, a board member. "We can contact 900 people in our neighbourhood, and we can do it in both Chinese and English," he said. Alura Moores, the group’s president, called the case "a missed opportunity," and added there may be more. Many people in the neighbourhood don’t use Twitter, she said.

DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com Ottawa’s announced child care funding in the 2017 budget - though not enough to fix Toronto’s daycare crisis - creates an opportunity that the city must seize, Beaches-East York Coun. Janet Davis said. "We have to be there now and seize the opportunity," the vocal advocate for child care said. "Right now, we are experiencing a crisis that needs to be addressed because of the shortage of spaces and the high cost of these services. We need action now. Toronto families need action now." This year’s federal budget allocates $500 million toward a national child
care program that works with the provinces and territories to address affordability, accessibility, inclusivity and flexibility. The funding is set to rise slowly year over year until it starts ramping up faster by 2022 or 2023, and reaching $870 million per year by 2026 or 2027. Jane Mercer of the Toronto Coalition for Child Care calls the Liberal government’s budget good news, but the money could be coming faster. "It’s not coming quite as fast as we’d like, because parents are desperately waiting for child care in Toronto and more affordable child care," she said. She hopes Ottawa and the province can start flowing significant money to the city to create child care

could see about $65 million per year of the $870 million announced, which could create 6,500 spaces.
Federal funding alone won’t be enough to fix the problem, Davis said. In Toronto, more than 18,000
children are waiting on a subsidy and there is a shortage of licensed child care spaces. Davis calls on the province and the city to join Ottawa at the table to both plan and fund a "made-inToronto" strategy that is sustained for expanding child care. She said capital money, operating money and subsidies are needed to create a system that serves all families. "Child care is critical to the healthy development of young children and the financial well-being of families, and the economic vitality of this city." Toronto’s Community Development and Recreation Committee will consider a city staff report on growing child care at its April 13 meeting.

It’s Time To Renovate! The best investment that you could make would be in your home. Whether it be for resale or for your enjoyment.
PLUMBING SERVICES We have expanded our family business to include our Licensed Plumber who can unplug your toilet, fix your leaky sink & all other plumbing services.
Specializing in Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations. We are licensed, insured and take pride in all of our quality services. We provide all name brand products for your renovations.
Trust the experts at Crystal Bath with your kitchen & bathroom renovations Bathroom and Kitchen renovations always top the list of remodeling projects that increase home value. The ability to transform the functionality and look of the space makes it a top choice for homeowners, and depending on the size of the space and amount of work that needs to be done to update the room, these renovations can be done for a number of budgets. Despite the popularity, a kitchen or bathroom renovation is no small undertaking. These rooms are the hardest areas to tile, and factoring in work like cabinetry, fixtures, countertops, plumbing, electrical, it takes an expert to coordinate every aspect of the renovation. Crystal Bath, located at 2839 Kingston Rd., has been renovating kitchens
and bathrooms in Scarborough for 20 years. The family business is owned and operated by Ann and her husband, a licensed tiler with 40 years of tiling experience, and their son Chris, a licensed plumber. “Not every company has a licensed plumber on board,” says Ann, “So this means our clients can trust that our plumber has the most up-to-date training, insurance, and the skills to tackle even the most complicated plumbing jobs, like second story additions.” It also means clients have a reliable plumber they can call on for everyday maintenance. Along with plumbing, bathtub, sink and faucet installations, Crystal Bath also handles cabinetry, millwork, tiling, flooring, countertops, electrical and lighting. Since the company focuses on
kitchens and bathrooms exclusively, they are able to control the quality of the work. Crystal Bath works with their clients to create stylish kitchens and bathrooms, whether they are aiming for a traditional or modern look. They offer professional advice on design and function, as well as materials for the renovation. Clients are welcome to visit the Crystal Bath showroom to see demo models and product catalogues. While Crystal Bath completes bathroom and kitchen renovations all year long, those looking for a spring renovation should be looking to book in January or February, as spring continues to be a popular time for renovations.

’The better way’ the only way for some Sigh. Eye roll. Urge to throw (or possibly break) something. This is my reaction nine times out of 10 when I come across a Toronto transit story. The words "Scarborough subway" combined with "delay" or "debate" are obvious triggers. Beyond that though, there’s a deeper frustration. Along with articles about reports not being done, I keep reading about the ballooning costs of the proposed (more like mythical) subway, and about its less than impressive expected ridership. As such, its "value" is being brought into question. I get it. Everyone involved wants more money. Join the club. But where were these questions of its value when the proposed 25-stop LRT plan for Scarborough morphed into a one-stop subway? So, it may not be attracting new riders - not much of a surprise given it hasn’t exactly had the most positive of PR campaigns - but

what about the people who have been riding all along? The people for whom riding the TTC is not a privilege they are exercising on days when they "feel like" giving the car a rest or when they want to do good by the environment. Earlier this month, I attended an artist talk at Y+ Contemporary art studio in Scarborough. One of the artists, Anique Jordan, said that when she suggests to people to have art shows in Scarborough, they often react negatively, arguing that no one will come because no one is "out there." Jordan went on to say this is often how

many spaces outside of the downtown core - particularly those where large populations of people who are racialized, marginalized or newer to Canada live - are regarded. That spaces are thought to be empty. As such, the people forgotten. That’s essentially what I feel like is happening with these transit plans. Scarborough transit is a political hot potato that gets tossed around city hall. It’s easy not to actually do anything about it, because few people at the table are directly impacted by the inaction. The voices often missing from the table are the most important ones, those of the people for whom the so-called better way is the only way.

There are thousands of abandoned and feral cats living on the street in Toronto. Often they are breeding out of control and living miserable lives.
416-431-7180 416-566-7373
The City of Toronto and volunteers have formed an alliance so that these suffering cats can have better lives. The volunteers feed, monitor, care for, and trap the cats for City paid neutering, shots, and chipping. Scarborough Feral Feeders is a group of volunteers that feed and care for homeless cats in central Scarborough. t We are looking for New Feeders to join our group. s Your commitment would be 2 - 3 hours one day per week s You require a vehicle to carry food and water to 14 stations s Dry food is provided, if you like, wet food is your treat s Our cats are sweet and wonderful and most have names
