Karen Roberts, a former Vaughan Road Academy student, paints a Bell box mural near the intersection of Jesmond Avenue and Vaughan Road, located close to the school.

Vaughan Road Academy remembered through art AARON D’ANDREA adandrea@metroland.com Karen Roberts loved going to high school at Vaughan Road Collegiate Institute, later named Vaughan Road Academy.

"I made a lot of friends," she told The York Guardian. "I had friends from every sort of area in the school."

According to the graduate from the class of 1979, the school was a hub of activity for people

in the Oakwood Village community. So when it closed down in June, she felt a piece of the neighbourhood slip away.

"The nostalgia is gone," she said. But now, Roberts has an opportunity to bring a piece of

Vaughan Road Academy back to the area.

The artist has created a mural on a nearby Bell box as a tribute to the school, which is located on

COMMUNITY

New children and youth centre coming to Jane and Dundas AARON D’ANDREA adandrea@metroland.com A new children and youth centre will be coming to Toronto’s Runnymede neighbourhood in the fall.

CultureLink, a nonprofit social services agency, is behind the new centre which will be located near Jane and Dundas streets.

It plans on using the roughly 3,500 sq. ft. centre to house programs and services for children, teens and young adults, including newcomers, from six to 29 years old.

Amina Yassin-Omar, manager of community services at CultureLink, told Metroland Media Toronto they wanted to create a barrier-free, inclusive space.

"It will have office space for our staff; we’ll have workshop space for our youth, we will have shared computers for our young people accessing the space ... a bigger program room in the back," she said. "We

wanted a place that was accessible by bike because a lot of our young people bike. We wanted to be close to a library so it has all those kind of features available for us."

In its August newsletter, CultureLink said the centre will house programs that enhance learning potential, healthy lifestyles, encourage responsible civic engagement and enhance employability skills.

CultureLink added it will showcase the implementation of its specialty initiatives such as its "Artegration" program, which facilitates the integration of newcomers through arts, and its "Wintegration" program, which provides clients an opportunity to participate in outdoor winter activities in order to start developing a healthy habit of staying active year-round.

Furthermore, its "Youth in Arts" and "Youth in Action" programs will be located at the site.

"These are the pro-

grams young people need," said Ibrahim Absiye, executive director at CultureLink. "The best way to integrate newcomers, or to grow children, is through sports, action, maybe arts, community volunteering, mentorship . we are focusing on building the capacity of young people."

Absiye added they believe it’s a worthy investment that will help develop newcomers and children in the community and across the Greater Toronto Area.

According to YassinOmar, CultureLink has been trying to open a satellite location for more than three years as part of its strategic plan.

"We’ve gotten an opportunity to grow and our programs have been expanding," she said. "As our clients grow and move around the city, we need to be closer to where they are."

Founded in 1988, CultureLink began as a settlement service organization in Toronto.

Staff/Metroland

CultureLink youth employment worker Asal Afshar (top left) is joined by members of the organization’s theatre troupe on Friday, Aug. 11 at the Dundas Street West site of the soon to be opened CultureLink Children & Youth Centre.

The organization assists newcomers looking for employment, help families navigate the school system and provides newcomer youth with the skills necessary for successful futures, according to its website.

"I think that there’s ben-

efit to sharing space with our teams here (at its current location), but I think that young people and children need their own space that is really focused on youth development and their development as they grow through the years," Yassin-Omar said.

Staff will be hosting an open house to unveil the new children and youth centre to the public.

A date for the open house hasn’t been set.

New ’Toronto’ sign inspires joy, community building TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com

the trio finished the "150" sign on Canada Day to queues of people waiting for a photo, celebrated on the beach, and watched the fireworks.

A week later, the sign deteriorating, they deconstructed it, eager to build a new project.

Sanders Shelton’s good friend, Susan B., stopped by with her camera: "’You guys should do the Toronto sign,’ she said. You know when you get a gut response when something feels like a good idea? We both had it.

It’s beautiful," Sanders Shelton said.

The second "Toronto" sign was born.

"The background of the skyline is all straight lines so we liked the juxtaposition with the softness of the letters and the wood. We thought it was a beautiful idea," Sanders Shelton said.

It soon became a community affair.

Last Saturday night, Maurice watched from his nearby condominium window as the women raced against the setting sun to finish the sign. He and his dog dashed down to the shoreline.

"We asked if he had a flashlight, and he did," Ryan said. "Then he came back with a spotlight, and held it for an hour until

10:30 p.m. so we could finish. Then he helped us carry our gear to our cars."

Megan from Australia and her partner, Akio, from Brazil, stopped by to ask if they could help. For 45 minutes, the couple carried rocks with Ryan used to help wedge the letters upright into the quay’s boulders.

The three are now Instagram friends.

Liban, a man in his mid-20s who works in construction, walks to the "Toronto" sign every morning at 6 a.m. to ensure it remains secured; it is held together with drywall screws. Then he

texts Ryan to give her a status report.

A woman named Bev, who paints inspirational words on rocks and leaves them on the shoreline, stopped by daily to offer the women water, and to remind them to wear sunscreen.

What began as friends having fun became unintentional community building.

"We just did it for ourselves to have fun," Ryan said. "It was probably one of the best weeks of my life. It’s really uplifting and warm. It seems to be a special spot. It’s a very cheery, friendly neighbourhood."

insidetoronto.com

A new "Toronto" sign this one made of six-feettall driftwood letters - is warming hearts, animating the Toronto skyline and building community.

Best friends Junction artist Thelia Sanders Shelton and York graphic designer Julie Ryan built the rustic, wooden ode to The Six over a week on a quay of boulders in the lake in Humber Bay Park East in Etobicoke.

"The response has been overwhelming - in a wonderful way," Sanders Shelton said. "So many people said, ’thank you.’

It’s a total multicultural affair, with people from every background stopping. That’s so Torontonian.

"It’s absolutely lovely."

A recent Toronto and Region Conservation project to creatively use beached driftwood from recent torrential rainfalls in Bluffer’s Park Beach in Scarborough inspired the women to create their own driftwood public art installation closer to home.

It began with a "150" driftwood sign to mark Canada’s sesquicentennial.

The Maple Leaf Forever: Toronto’s Take on a National Symbol exhibit, on display until Nov. 25, showcases how Toronto nurtured the maple leaf into an eternal expression of Canadian identity.

"Over the past 150 years, Torontonians have constantly created associations with the maple leaf as an inspirational object representing our collective identity," Mayor John Tory said in a statement. "This ex-

Vaughan Road near Oakwood Avenue.

The dull box has had life injected into it using the school’s colours which are red, blue and gold, Roberts said.

Passersby will notice the school’s signature "V" logo in the centre, the school’s mascot, various sports figures like football players and track stars, academic materials like books and small pieces of memorabilia like paper airplanes.

She said people were passing by while she was painting it and are able to remember moments from their days at the school.

"It’s nice to know people are enjoying it when they walk by," she said, adding some people said her work is making the neighbourhood look better.

In December 2016, To-

ronto District School Board trustees voted to close the school due to low enrollment. At the time, the school had approximately 220 students. It had a capacity of about 1,100.

Vaughan Road Academy was home to a number of notable alumni including Juno Award-winning blues-violinist Lenny Solomon, singer-songwriter Allan Soberman and Toronto hip-hop artist Drake.

Her tribute is located on Jesmond Avenue, right across from the school.

She hopes people will take pictures of the mural and share them on social media.

"This will remain for a few years, maybe five," she said. "It just ties people together and gives them something to stop and look at and take them down memory lane."

ABOUT US

Be a tourist in your own backyard At 150, it’s safe to say that Canada has aged pretty well.

It’s also safe to assume that most Canadians have a fairly decent grasp of their country; its diverse regions and cultures, and the landmarks and destinations that have become synonymous with travelling across our land.

The majestic Rockies. The vast prairies. Thundering Niagara Falls. Historic Quebec City. Peggy’s Cove. You know them, but have you visited? Canadians like to travel, flocking to New York City, or Florida, or heading overseas to explore Paris or Rome.

All worthy destinations. But is 2017 the year to explore a little closer to home?

Many in the tourism industry certainly think so. Last fall, Lonely Planet chose Canada as its ’destination of the year’ for 2017. Earlier this year, the New York Times ranked Canada as its top travel destination. The reasons are many: a favourable exchange rate; safety concerns in major destinations in Europe; an endless variety of attractions that coincide with our year-long sesquicentennial celebration.

Fun and cultural awareness aside, tourism is big business. Nearly 20 million international visitors came in 2016, with the majority, 13.9 million, coming from the U.S. To keep those intrepid travellers happy, fed and informed requires hundreds of thousands of jobs in the tourism sector, accounting for roughly 11 per cent of the total labour force. Generating $90 billion in total economic activity, tourism is good business as well as nation-building.

So by all means hop on a plane or train and see the sights. But remember, some of the best-kept secrets are right around the corner.

It’s often true that citizens of a particular city or area, having lived there for years, have never taken the time to actually be a tourist in their town. The CN Tower, Fort York, Kensington Market, all draw foreign visitors but may remain a mystery to folks literally around the corner.

Don’t know what’s out there to see? Start with a visit to your local tourism office. There are a myriad of treasures in and around Toronto. Or check out one of the dozens of festivals or attractions in the city. From the CNE to Buskerfest to TIFF, thousands attend these events each year, but you wouldn’t have to look very hard to find a friend or neighbour who has never attended any of them.

On a tight budget? Hop on a bike and see things you typically miss in a car. Find a free movie night at a local park. Head to your local library for free programs and events.

Be a tourist in your own backyard. You’ll be happy you did.

A vibrant culture may be victim of city’s success One of the advantages of being a few steps behind the curve is that you get a warning before the precipitous drop.

So it is, and often has been, with Toronto when held against other major world cities. For example, as our underfunded transit system teeters, New York City’s bigger and older one is in collapse. Watching that sort of thing go on elsewhere gives us urgency here.

With that in mind, it might be wise to peer over the horizon and across the pond at another city on a different kind of brink: London.

The U.K. capital is way ahead of Toronto on a different trajectory than public transit: raw wealth. Toronto’s until-just-now booming real estate market is nothing

DAVID NICKLE The City compared to the explosion in cost and wealth that’s happened in London. Housing has been priced out of any reasonable family budget, and that has led to an exodus.

As reported in The Guardian earlier this month, people are leaving the city to the tune of 80,000 annually: both homeowners and renters.

And, it’s not just people.

The so-called "night" economy has taken a hit along

with that - because, as old common areas are redeveloped, so go the activities that might have taken place there. Culturally, the city is becoming sterile.

It seems as though Toronto is on the same trajectory. Live music venues have been shuttering like a row of dominoes this year, as redevelopment pushed out some and untenable rent hikes pushed out others.

And it’s not just concert venues. Dramatic shifts in property values are forcing softer cultural spots, like the venerable Eliot’s Bookstore on Yonge Street, to close down. It’s a side-effect of prosperity: a rising real estate tide raises all boats, and property taxes too.

The House of Lords hair

salon, just a few doors down, is closing under similar pressures. Those places join Sam the Record Man, A & A Records and Tapes, HMV, and The World’s Biggest Bookstore among the chorus of destinations that at one point drew if not the world, then much of the country, to Toronto.

It begs the question: how long can Toronto stay a cultural centre, with the culture gone from its centre?

Tracks for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project are now being installed.

The province made the announcement Aug. 9 at the future site of the Mount Dennis Station and the LRT maintenance and storage facility, located near Weston Road and Eglinton Avenue West, where construction crews laid the first tracks.

The 19-kilometre LRT line will connect Mount Dennis Station in the west end with Kennedy Station in the east end.

It also includes a 10-kilometre underground portion between Keele Street and Laird Drive, and 25 stations and stops that will link to bus routes, three subway stations, three GO Transit lines and the Union Pearson Express, the news release added.

A turnout track, pictured on Aug. 9, is the first piece of track to be installed for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project. It’s expected to open in 2021. ning, the LRT is expected to carry an estimated 5,500 passengers per hour during peak times.

In March, tunnelling for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT line was completed.

According to officials, enough muck was dug up to fill the Air Canada Centre to

the height of the CN Tower.

Also in March, the province announced it would be building a battery backup energy system in Mount Dennis, scrapping its initial plans for a natural gas plant.

The LRT is scheduled to open in 2021.

Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Transit Project Assessment Process The Project Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion. Metrolinx intends to proceed with the project in accordance with the EPR. Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is upgrading its commuter rail system into Regional Express Rail. The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is now home to nearly 7 million people and heading towards 10 million by 2041. To address the urgent transit needs of the GTHA, the Province of Ontario committed to implement Regional Express Rail and make other improvements to the GO system. By 2025, electrified trains will be running every 15 minutes or better, all day and in both directions, within the most heavily travelled sections of the GO network.

To support this service increase, Metrolinx is undertaking the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion (BRCE) Project which includes the following: • Provision of a second track between Lansdowne Avenue in the City of Toronto to Allandale Waterfront GO Station in the City of Barrie; • Upgrades to existing GO Stations along the corridor: Rutherford, Maple, King City, Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Bradford, Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront; and • A new train layover facility within the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury for overnight storage of trains.

30-day Public Review Period Begins August 9 The environmental effects of this transit project were assessed and an EPR prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. The EPR for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion is now available at metrolinx.com/RERBarrie and the following locations for a 30-day public review period starting August 9, 2017 and ending September 7, 2017.
