Scarborough remembers
390 solar panels set for McGregor Park Community Centre ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com
Toronto Hydro and the city have launched a joint “innovative project” that will see 10 city-owned buildings outfitted with more than 8,000 solar photovoltaic panels. The program officially kicked off Monday at Scarborough’s McGregor Park Community Centre, which will have 390 solar panels on its roof. Jim Baxter, the city’s strategic initiatives director, said the “innovative project” will generate revenue for the city and reduce pressure on the city’s electrical grid while “reducing the city’s environmental footprint.” generate The program will generate more than $16 million over 20 years through the sale of electricity. “The panels will generate approximately 2,600 megawatt hours of electricity annually, which is roughly equivalent to the consumption of 215 households,” Baxter said. “These installations will result in the reduction of approximately 480 tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year. This project is a great illustration of how the City of Toronto >>>solar, page 3

Scarborough councillor steps down from committee DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Scarborough Southwest Councillor Michelle Berardinetti is off Mayor Rob Ford’s executive committee leaving just one woman on the powerful committee of Ford allies going into the second half of the term. Don Valley West Councillor Jaye Robinson has elected to stay on the committee — and will be seeking re-appointment at the mid-term. But Berrardinetti, who several
months ago was considering quitting the committee, has decided to leave. “I have served for two years on the executive, it was a great opportunity, but I think that some of the more contentious issues didn’t have to be so contentious,” said Berardinetti. “I think that better management of the issues is what’s needed... I feel like I’ve done a lot of work for a lot of different issues. I’d like to spend the next few years focussing on residents and having a different role to play as Scarborough
Community Council Chair.” Berardinetti said she made the decision public after she was elected chair of the Scarborough Community Council last week. She said that while she found her time on the committee edifying, she found herself bridling under the pressure exerted to vote the mayor’s way on every issue. “I feel that there is quite a bit of pressure that I just don’t understand how it was necessary — on votes you’re already going to lose or aren’t in my view
well thought out,” she said. Both Berardinetti and Robinson were also conscious of their role as a voice for women on the committee. Berardinetti said that a number of constituents urged her to remain in order to continue to supply that voice. “Optically yes I represent the gender, but I’m not sure how much influence I actually have,” she said. “If you’re an executive member and your decision is just overturned at council I’m not sure how much power I have.”

Remember those who died in 1812

Infrastructure funding must become priority A
coalition of municipal and business groups working to put the pressure on the federal government to come up with a national funding plan to deal with growing transit and infrastructure needs has made it clear that cities such as Toronto can’t wait much longer. The Municipal Infrastructure Forum was created by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) just over a year ago and is made our view up of representatives of municipal governments, business, chambers of commerce and other groups such Leadership as the Insurance Board of Canada needed from and the Canadian Union of Public Employees. local MPs At a press conference in Toronto, speakers such as Toronto Board of Trade CEO Carol Wilding, FCM president Karen Leibovici and Robert Tremblay, from the Insurance Board of Canada, talked about the toll aging infrastructure systems are taking on the city. “Our overstretched networks are becoming a major barrier to our growing economy,” Wilding said. “Toronto’s problems of gridlock and poor transit connectivity are among the worst of any major urban centre in the world.” Tremblay also offered a warning about how Toronto would fare if it had been hit by a storm similar to what New York City had to deal with when super storm Sandy recently hit, and it wasn’t a pretty picture. He said Toronto’s water and sewer systems are “underdesigned” and not built to withstand instances of extreme weather. “That’s what the real challenge is, making sure our infrastructure can withstand the new climatic realities,” Tremblay said. Missing from this equation, however, is clear direction from the federal government. What’s needed is guaranteed, long-term funding that recognizes the importance of these needs. These are investments in our future the federal government must take the lead on. Provincial and municipal governments also have a huge role to play, but the leadership starts with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Toronto residents should be asking their MPs, especially those who are members of the Conservative government, where they stand and what they are going to do. A sewer and water system that can’t deal with major storms puts our safety at risk. Congested roads and a public transit system that’s decades out of date puts our jobs and economic future at risk. Toronto’s MPs must address these issues and start showing some political leadership. Toronto Community News is a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

To the editor: Remembrance Day has come and gone. We give thanks to those who fought in the Boer War, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, Afghanistan and peace keeping for our rights and freedom. We honour them and remember those who gave the supreme sacrifice by wearing a red poppy. But the fight for our rights and freedom did not start with the Boer War. In 1812, Canadian volunteers and British soldiers joined forces to fight an invading army. After the battle of Lundy’s Lane, it was noticed by the locals that red geraniums were growing over the battlefield. When the War of 1812 ended, citizens started to wear red geraniums to honour those who fought and to remember the ones who gave their lives. In 2013, let us bring back the tradition of wearing a red geranium. Robert Heath
In minor hockey, timing is everything for parents and players
I
dropped by my old stomping grounds at Dick Duff Arena recently to catch some hockey and on the way in was almost bowled over by a father and son scurrying by. Dad was lugging the two goalie sticks, pads and hockey bag of his 10-year-old who was carrying only a cellphone. They made a dash for the dressing room. But the door was blocked by a burly man who had coach written all over him – and on the top left corner of his jacket, too. Coach: “Well, well. Look who finally decided to grace us with their presence.” Father: “Uh, I can explain, Coach...” Coach: “If you don’t mind Dad, I was talking to Junior. Now Junior, my watch clearly says 4:30 and your designated arrival time for a five o’clock game is four o’clock, as you well know. Now, what did I tell you about being late?” So n : “D o n’t b e l a t e,
but seriously
jamie wayne
Coach.” Coach: “Could you speak up a tad? The acoustics for lame excuses are awful in this arena. I’ve been meaning to bring that to the attention of management. “ Son: “DON’T BE LATE. Coach.” Father: “Really, I can explain, Coach...” Coach: “If you don’t mind Dad, I was talking to Junior. Now Junior, over the years how many times do you figure I’ve told you not to be late?” Son: “About a gazillion times, Coach. Give or take a bajillion.” Coach: “Interesting. Yet, you’re still late. And what happens when you’re late?” Son: “You let down the
team, Coach. You let down yourself, Coach. You let down the coach, Coach.” Coach: “Is that it?” Son: “Nope. You also let down the game, Coach. You let down the country, Coach. You let down mankind, Coach. You let down the universe Coach. And you let down the great beyond too, Coach.” Coach: “Not that drivel, Junior. I meant the important stuff, the consequences. What are the repercussions if one is late?” Son: “100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 pull-ups and...” Father: “A hundred pushups, sit-ups and pull-ups? Come on, he’s only 10.” Coach: “I hate to break it to you, Dad, they’re for you, not him. Last I checked you were the one piloting the SUV that brought him here late.” Son: “But Coach ...” Coach: “I was talking to Senior, Junior. Any time you’re ready, Dad.” Son: “But Coooooach...” Coach: “Oh, alright. What
is it, Junior?” Son: “You left out the best part – the 100 wind sprints. Forward and backward. You interrupted before I could finish. How could you forget them? You’re getting soft in your old age, Coach. You know what happens when you get soft?” Coach: “Yeah, yeah. I know, I know, I know. You let down the team, yourself, the coach, the game, mankind, and the universe.” Son: “Apparently you don’t know. You left out the great beyond. Talk about rookie mistakes. Shame on you, Coach. Don’t let it happen again. Now, step on it Dad. I’ve got a game to play. And put a little more oomph into it, will ya? Everybody’s counting on you. And I do mean EVERYBODY. You don’t dare mess with the great beyond, big guy.” n Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much.

Symbolic Jarvis bike lane war continues
I
t’s been a traumatic week for cyclists in downtown Toronto. The city’s transportation department kicked off the week attempting to remove a pair of bike lanes on Jarvis Street. Members of the cycling community responded by doing their best to stop that work from taking place. The fight over the Jarvis bike lanes continues, an ugly echo of a very ugly election campaign in which the lanes themselves became a symbol of the very symbolic war on the car. For those on the “car” side of that war, their removal is a victory – the knocking down of the Berlin Bike Lane, as it were. Of course, in addition to its properties as a symbolic battlefield, the Jarvis Street bike lanes also had a practical application: they were a piece of a larger infrastructure that makes it safer for cyclists to travel north and south to the east of Yonge Street. And to that end, the proponents of removing the
THE CITY
DAVID NICKLE
lanes offered up a placating alternative. Just a few blocks further to the east, the city would take the bike lanes on Sherbourne Street and turn them into fully separated lanes. The argument there was that full separation from traffic would make an even safer route for cyclists than the Jarvis lanes, which are only lines of paint. I’m not so sure that’s the case. I’ve ridden those lanes as a commuter, and observed them as a pedestrian. And it seems to me the separated lanes are more of a comfort to drivers on Sherbourne than they are to cyclists. The entire run isn’t finished, and the part I’ve ridden is the very northward section, from Wellesley Street to Bloor Street. The
lanes vary between raised sections of curb about the height of the sidewalk, open spots where buses and taxis can pull up to the curb, and sections of road blocked off by speed-hump-sized raised curbs. The lanes are a little wider than a standard bike lane, making it possible for considerate cyclists to pass one another, with care. It is considerably more difficult to get around a car that has pulled onto the bike lane: crossing the curb that a car can mount easily would likely result in a tumble for anyone but a very experienced cyclist. Under the current administration, separated bike lanes in the downtown core along with expanded recreational trails look to be the future of cycling infrastructure. And that infrastructure works very well to get cyclists off the roads now dedicated to cars. ■ David Nickle is The Mirror’s city hall reporter. His column appears every Thursday.

Councillor calls for set times for dogs to run free in parks DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto parks staff will be talking with communities across the city about the idea of making some of their parks leash-free for dogs early mornings and late evenings. Toronto’s parks and environment committee recently decided to look into the idea at the urging of Don Valley East Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong. A dog owner himself, Minnan-Wong said currently in many parts of the city, finding an off-leash area in city parkland that’s also large enough to provide reasonable exercise is difficult to impossible. Minnan-Wong said the city should look at a system in place in New York City, where certain parks are designated entirely leash-free between 6:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., and between 9 and 11 p.m. In a letter to the committee, Minnan-Wong said the system has led to a reduction in the number of dog owners who let their dogs off-leash illegally. And he said dogs who are able to exercise freely are generally bettertempered. The committee members were skeptical. Scarborough East Councillor Ron Moeser admitted his opinion was coloured by personal experience. “I had a daughter who got bit through the lip...we had to take her to hospital,” he said. “You hate to have that colour your opinion, but I’d say it’s controversial in Ward 44. I think if you went to the community with this, it would probably be around 50-50.” Scarborough-Rouge River Councillor Raymond Cho said when consultation comes back, he’d recommend any leash-free area
be only used by muzzled dogs, and owners be required to carry flashlights to better find errant dog feces in the dark of early morning and later at night. York Centre Councillor James Pasternak said when it comes back, communities will be consulted individually. “We have to be careful of the safety factor,” said Pasternak. “In Ward 10 we decided to put two off-leash zones in existing parks and that seems to work. There is no support that I can see to make this a pan-city proposal. Almost all the emails that I received are negative on this. The only thing to bring in is a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood system. Because if there are neighbourhoods that are already fighting fenced-in zones, they’ll fight doubly hard against this.” Minnan-Wong, however, said worries about the leash-free times are misplaced. “There was some level of concern by some councillors, but it’s important to have an informed debate, and within this debate, that councillors understand that this will result in healthier dogs. Healthier, well-exercised dogs are dogs that aren’t aggressive and don’t bite.” Minnan-Wong admitted his views were informed by his experiences with his own dog, a Chesepeake Bay Retriever who goes by the name of Strider, after the character in The Lord of the Rings. “If you have children and they’re taking skating lessons, you have opinions about skating programs,” he said. “I have a dog, and a certain expertise and experience about having a dog. I think I see owners walking their dogs pulling at the leash that aren’t exercised, really wound up and if they were properly socialized and exercised, they’d be better dogs.”

IF YOU WORK IN ONTARIO, THIS IS YOUR FIGHT. On September 11, 2012, the Ontario Liberal government passed Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act, 2012.
Bill 115 is undemocratic, unconstitutional, and unprecedented. • It takes away the democratic rights of teachers and education professionals to bargain collectively. • It places the government beyond the reach of the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Ontario Labour Relations Act, and even the courts. • It takes local decision-making away from school boards and puts it in the hands of the provincial government. That’s why we’re standing against Bill 115. It sets a dangerous precedent for all Ontarians. In fact, the government has already threatened other public sector workers with similar legislation. As teachers, we teach your children to stand up for their principles. Today, we ask you to do the same.
What can you do to help? Join us in standing up for democratic rights. Let your MPP know that Bill 115 must be repealed.

intended as an incentive to encourage homeowners to divert more garbage and only throw out the equivalent of one bag of garbage every two weeks. Del Grande said he’s wondering if the marketing incentive isn’t misplaced. “I don’t know if that’s marketing– the whole program started off saying that if you produce a little bit of garbage we’ll give you a little something back. The marketing side has to look at the realistic side,” he said. The city’s solid waste strategy came under attack from critics on and off council for failing to advance the city’s target of reaching 70 per cent of diversion of waste from landfill sites. “For the third year in a row this administration has refused to put any money into expanding our recycling programs,” said Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks. “We’re stuck at the same recycling rate that we had before this mayor came in and it doesn’t look like we’re going to be making any progress.” Current diversion rates are hovering around 50 per cent, and public works and infrastructure chair Denzil Minnan-Wong admitted that over the last two years the city has done little to advance recycling, concentrating instead on contracting out solid waste collection in neighbourhoods west of Yonge Street. “We’ve been focussed on the contracting out project,” he said. “That was something most residents said we had a mandate to move forward on and we’ve been really focussing on.”
Toronto’s garbage collection rate will stay the same for most Torontonians — but those homeowners currently receiving a small rebate for using the very smallest grey bin could wind up paying extra for garbage collection. Toronto’s budget chief Mike Del Grande wouldn’t commit to removing the $2.84 rebate as his committee got its first look at the solid waste budget. But he has asked staff for a briefing note to come to the budget meeting explaining the rebate and what it might take to remove it. “It doesn’t seem logical that it’s a freebie on your garbage collection,” said Del Grande at the meeting, who also questioned the wisdom of freezing garbage rates for the second year in a row. The rate-based garbage collection system was one that was approved under Mayor David Miller – taking garbage collection off of property tax and turning it into a pay-as-you-throw service similar to water. Homeowners pay for garbage collection annually based upon the size of bin they have. The extra large bin sees residents pay $204.36 a year; the medium-sized bins cost $47.93 a year. And the smallest bins actually provide a credit to homeowners on their water/garbage bill of $2.84. When it was introduced, the credit was

RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com A dedicated national funding plan for infrastructure would go a long way toward addressing Toronto’s chronic gridlock issues, says a spokesperson for a coalition of economic and municipal groups. Speaking on behalf of the Municipal Infrastructure Forum (MIF), Carol Wilding wants more money from the federal government to put toward the nation’s deteriorating core infrastructure - such as roadways and transit systems - which the CEO of the Toronto Board of Trade believes is creating rampant congestion in the city and resulting in productivity losses in the billions of dollars. “Our overstretched networks are becoming a major barrier to our growing economy,” said Wilding, from the Toronto Board of Trade’s downtown office which hosted a press conference for MIF on Thursday. “Toronto’s problems of gridlock and poor transit connectivity are among the worst of any major urban centre in the world.” While the Conservative govern-
ment of Prime Minister Stephen Harper is scheduled to release a new infrastructure funding plan by 2014 – to replace the existing $8.8-billion Building Canada plan – the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), which spearheaded the formation of MIF more than a year ago, wants to see money allocated as soon as next year’s federal budget, to be tabled by the spring. “Canada cannot afford to lose a construction season,” said Karen Leibovici, president of FCM. Long-term plan “A new long-term plan is a oncein-a-generation opportunity to reverse the long decline in our local infrastructure and to keep Canada on the road to jobs and growth.” Robert Tremblay from the Insurance Bureau of Canada, who also spoke at the press conference, said damage incurred from the Sandy super storm which ravaged the U.S. east coast in late October caused around $20-billion in insurance claims. He warned a similar weather event touching down in Toronto
‘Businesses will tell you the number one issue is transit and transportation. It’s a significant regional challenge.’ Carol Wilding, CEO Toronto Board of Trade would be devastating for the local economy since the city’s water and sewer infrastructure, as well as its road networks, are “under-designed” and not built to withstand the impact of extreme weather. “The issue here is not just inconvenience like basement flooding,” said Tremblay, who is the director of research for the Insurance Board of Canada. “The fact is, infrastructure underpins every economic activity. “That’s what the real challenge is, making sure our infrastructure can withstand the new climatic realities.” Wilding said she hoped to see a guarantee from the federal govern-
ment for transit funding spanning decades to ensure completion of the provincial Big Move transportation plan. “Businesses will tell you the number one issue is transit and transportation,” said Wilding. “It’s a significant regional challenge.” Of the estimated $50-billion it would cost to complete the plan, only $10-billion has thus far been allocated by the provincial government. Even with a federal funding commitment, taxpayers will likely have to pay more for substantial transit expansion. DowntowN relief line Long before he announced his resignation in October, Premier McGuinty directed Metrolinx, the provincial planning agency, to finalize a list of tax revenue-generating tools by June 2013 to help pay for the remainder of Big Move. Metrolinx has said it will take annual funding in the neighbourhood of $2 billion per year to complete the 25-year regional plan.

The City of Toronto will also hold a series of public meetings to discuss the paying of new transit, including a recent proposal from the TTC for a downtown relief subway line to reduce overcrowding on the Yonge line which would cost a minimum of $3 billion to construct. Decades behind While Wilding was pleased with the current pace of transit construction for local projects – the Spadina subway extension, the Union Station renovation and Pearson Union air rail link are all scheduled for completion within the next four years – she said Toronto, like other North American cities, desperately needs more transit to make up for years of inactivity. “We’re decades behind and we’re in a significant catch-up mode,” she said. Leibovici said the coalition, which includes the Insurance Board of Canada, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Union of Public Employees among others, is preparing a list of specific projects and costs it wants to see receive priority for funding.

A Scarborough high school will not only get to be a part of the Grey Cup week festivities – but will also ultimately be left with a completely refurbished football field. The school – SATEC@W.A. Porter Collegiate Institute, located at 40 Fairfax Cres. (between Warden and Pharmacy avenues) – will host a unique Grey Cup festival event in which, on Monday, Nov. 19, they will try to simulate one of the most infamous of all Grey Cup games. It was definitely the muddiest as the Toronto Argos, in 1950, won their eighth Grey Cup over Winnipeg 13-0 before more than 27,000 fans at Varsity Stadium in what is now labeled the Mud Bowl.
