A collaborative initiative between staff and students at Archbishop Romero Catholic Secondary School is helping Grade 9 students feel welcome and safe in their first year of high school. And leading the initiative are the Grade 12 students in the religious education classes who developed, planned and implemented anti-bullying workshops with guidance from the school’s child and youth workers. “It was really the students taking on leadership,” said Michelle Perkins-Ball, a chaplain at Archbishop Romero, also noting the child and youth workers are the “roots of the school.” The school near Weston Road and Black Creek Drive is one of 16 in the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) recognized yesterday at the annual >>>OLDER, page 7

Tunnel boring machine move attracts an overnight crowd DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com Witnesses were treated to an overnight spectacle at Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road when a pair of 400-tonne tunnel boring machines were pulled out of the ground and moved this past weekend. Both machines, one per night, were pulled out of a shaft on the west side of Allen Road, transported 100 metres by a 208-wheeled trailer, and then put back in the ground by a gantry crane on the east side of the roadway into a similar shaft. Metrolinx, which is in charge of building the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, said the move of each tunnel boring machine went smoothly and without delay. Approximately 200 spectators came out Friday night and 400 Saturday night between 2 and 5 a.m. to watch the event, including families with young children and pets. Metrolinx had set up bleachers and provided hot chocolate and coffee to spectators.Each tunnel boring machine has a diameter of 6.5 metres and a length of 10 metres. Each has a weight of approximately three GO train locomotives. Ontario’s transportation minister Steven Del Duca called it an exciting weekend, and touted the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project, which is part of a larger, Southern Ontario-wide transportation infrastructure initiative to get the province moving. “It really is an exceptional example of the kind of largescale infrastructure that Premier (Kathleen) Wynne and our government are so committed to, making sure that we start and complete these projects on time and

on budget,” Del Duca said a few days before the boring machines were moved. “This really will transform this city and this region along with all of the other transit objectives and projects that we’ll be rolling out in the next number of weeks and months.” Now that the two machines have been moved and lowered into a shaft on the east side

of Allen Road, they will begin their eastward tunneling by mid-June, said Metrolinx president and CEO Bruce McCuaig. Two other tunnel boring machines will start digging in the opposite direction from the east in the fall. The four machines are scheduled to meet at their final terminus at the Yonge subway station sometime at the end of 2016. The machines are boring a

10-kilometre tunnel under Eglinton Avenue. “After that, the next step is to build all the stations, built the signalization and the track system and the maintenance facility, all towards that date that we’re all looking forward to, which is the first in-revenue service date for our customers,” McCuaig said. When the tunnels have been dug, the four boring machines will be removed from the ground during the station construction phase at Yonge Street, so all the disruptive work will done simultaneously in an effort to minimize the impact on the community. Del Duca acknowledged that the work to build the Crosstown LRT is disruptive, but the transit infrastructure is crucial to moving the city. “When you’re going to invest upwards of $5 billion in this kind of public transit infrastructure, there’s really no way around causing some kind of disruption,” he said. “What I hear everywhere I go, whether it’s in Toronto, right across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, right across the province, is that the appetite for more of these kinds of large-scale investments in infrastructure is wanted. It’s needed. It’s why we have roughly $16 billion worth of transit infrastructure being built right now across this entire region and we will have more to come.” He said the multi-billiondollar project is still on time and on budget and he anticipates it will be finished that way as well. The line is scheduled to open in 2020.

T
oronto’s new police chief, Mark Saunders, is going to be hearing from a lot of people telling him how he should do his job. The one voice he most needs to listen to is his own. He is a 32-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service, most recently serving as deputy chief prior. He has also served in a number of high-profile units including guns and gangs, and homicide. Saunders also makes history as being Toronto’s first black police chief. He said he understands many may view that as meaning he can magically improve the relationship between our view police and the black community, which has been strained Mark Saunders due to the “carding” policy critics say unfairly targets is a police chief, that black youth in the city. However, he warned resinot a politician dents at his introductory press conference at police headquarters that he does not have “superpowers.” Fair warning, and the right approach, we believe. Saunders has to be careful in these first few weeks about overpromising and making people think he will change things done by the outgoing chief, Bill Blair, that were considered unpopular. He needs to remember he is a police chief, not a politician. That, of course, won’t stop the politicians from coming after him if we won’t bend to their will. Saunders can have an impact by reaching into Toronto’s different communities. Blair held numerous town hall meetings hosted by the various police divisions, which were usually well attended but rarely confrontational. This wasn’t enough to convince some of the city’s communities he was a chief of the people, understanding life in the streets. Saunders must get this message through. He must be highly visible to residents. He must show an intimate understanding of the daily challenges of life in marginal neighbourhoods and he must motivate the leaders in these communities to advocate on his behalf. Saunders should go a step further and attend town halls organized by youth groups and organizations representing multicultural communities. Having visibility and compassion for circumstance will go a long way to winning the trust and respect in the neighbourhoods and communities where he needs it most.

Sad Leaf fan discovers his smile Mario, a long-time Leaf fan who has been down in the dumps since the NHL draft lottery Saturday night, called Sunday evening while I was watching Game 3 of the Montreal Canadiens/ Ottawa Senators series. Mario: “I need your help, Jamie. I haven’t been able to crack a smile since we didn’t get Connor McDavid.” Jamie: “Who?” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “You’re welcome. Glad I could be of service. Later, big guy.” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “Hey. What can I say? It’s a gift. Now that I cured you, can I go now?” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “Come on, man. Coach’s Corner is coming up. You know how cranky I get when I miss Grapes. Have your people call my people during the week and we’ll do lunch, OK?” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “Oh yeah, I forgot. You don’t have people yet. You’re still working on your
jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY first person. Have you tried Kijiji?” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “Stop. You’re embarrassing me with all these compliments.” Mario: “I hate to break it to you Jamie, but when I say ‘Very funny’ I’m being sarcastic. As if you didn’t know.” Jamie: “Is that each time? Or just some of the time? Mario: “What do you think?” Jamie: “Beats me. Can I get a choice at least? Like: A, B, C, D and E, but not G?” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “You mean I left some letters out?” Mario: “Is that the best you can do?” Jamie: “I get the feeling you want me to go back to the drawing board, right?” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “You want me to go front to the drawing
board?” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “Not middle to the drawing board, I hope. Who ever goes there?” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “You don’t even want even in the same jurisdiction of the drawing board? What, what, what? Throw me a bone at least.” Mario: “Very funny.” Jamie: “What the heck did you come over here for again? For the life of me I can’t remember. This sudden preoccupation with drawing boards has made me completely lose my train of thought. It wasn’t to see if I could help you get over the Leafs losing out on Connor McDavid by any chance, was it?” Mario: “Who?” Jamie: “Very funny.” Mario: “Really? Now you’re making me blush.” Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much. His column appears every Thursday. Contact him at jamie.wayne@sympatico.ca

Heritage makes a city world-class To the Editor, Re: ‘Preserving our heritage requires city’s competence,’ Editorial, March 26. I read your fine editorial and it impressed me greatly. Toronto has long fancied itself as a world-class city. However, I do not believe that it is there yet. First, we have to look at the real world-class cities to see what they have that gives them this most desirable ranking. World-class cities all have one thing in common – historical sites. What has Toronto got that would make it a world-class city? Not much I’m afraid. Until we learn to preserve our historical artifacts rather than destroying them we will never have a world-class city. It is time we had sincere people in charge who really want to preserve the history of our community. Bill Tee

Sounds like a lot right? It’s not at all. If you are in a car accident with minor injuries that is more than sufficient, however, if you are involved in an accident where you cause someone else major injuries (e.g. brain injury, paraplegic, quadriplegic) then you are on the hook personally for everything over that 1 million. This can have devastating

effects on both an emotional and financial level. You may think you are such a great driver that the Indy 500 is second from knocking down your door. Unfortunately, that doesn’t really matter. If some joe shmo (that is the legal term) hits you and you or your family member is injured badly, and good old joe has 1 million of coverage, you only have 1 million to access. Now, this is where it gets complicated so pay attention, if you have 2 million and he has 1 million, your insurer will kick in the extra million. So basically if your policy has 2 million you are covered for 2 million regardless of the insurance policy of joe shmo. Make sense? The best thing to do is speak with a broker. Make sure you have enough insurance to cover you if you are hit. Think about how much you would need if you could never work again. This is a very real possibility for some of my clients. Then once you have that number, make sure you are covered for that amount. Yes, insurance is already expensive, however saving money could cost you dearly later.

columns comparing TTC to global networks wSurvey Got a few opinions on the state of local subway service? You can make your feelings known by taking an international survey comparing the TTC’s service levels with that of 20 global subway networks. The survey was prepared by subway research agencies CoMet and Nova and consists of several questions related to customer service, safety, reliability and other factors. The survey takes about five minutes to complete, according to the TTC. Take the survey until May 10. Visit www.ttc.ca residents PROMISED LRT BY 2022 w905
A major transit infrastructure project was announced this week by the provincial government for the 905. Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca announced plans to build a 22-stop LRT line by 2022 connecting Mississauga and Brampton’s city centres. The Hurontario-Main LRT would stretch 23 kilo-
rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT metres from Port Credit to downtown Brampton and is expected to cost the province $1.6 billion. Del Duca promised other funding announcements in the weeks to come, but there’s no indication if any of them will be for Toronto. OPERATOR GETS SURPRISE VISIT wCRANE
Construction crane operator Rob Mac was about to start his shift last Thursday at the L Tower site above Yonge Street and The Esplanade when he was greeted by the unexpected sight of a raccoon that had clambered up the crane – some 213 metres – in Mac’s words to “take a crap”. Mac is better known by his Twitter moniker @SkyJacked793 where he shares stunning and often surreal shots taken from his vantage point high above the Toronto skyline. He promptly posted a few shots of the critter in
mid-clamber (www.twitter.com/SkyJacked793/ status/588671324635140097) which quickly went viral. After a few minutes of posing, the raccoon descended back to streetlevel. MYSTERY SURROUNDS CIVIC DESIGN CAMP Fans of civic design camps and other mass gatherings intended to spur creative inspiration for infrastructure planning might want to make note of an event. Not much is known about the Civic Design Camp, which is being billed by organizers as a first for this country. It’s expected to attract design professionals and urban planners as well as government officials for at least a day-long summit. It’s not known when or where it will take place. You can register your email address at www. civicdesigncamp.ca for updates.

Sweeter deal for food trucks Our new mayor spent last year campaigning on a great many things, but one of John Tory’s earliest causes was also one of his most common-sensical. It boiled down to this: What the dickens is wrong with a food truck at the side of the road? Tory raised the issue about a year ago, when the notably mayor-free Toronto Council was wrestling the deep philosophical question of how many food trucks can one fit on the doorstep of a restaurant. Council wasn’t sure. Owners of restaurants of the stationary variety thought there shouldn’t be any, as food trucks offered unfair competition. Food truck owners, meanwhile, called baloney, and pointed out that the rest of the world seemed to be able to sustain both fine dining establishments and roving food vendors. In the end, council supported a twisting knot of a compromise: food trucks needed to operate no closer than 50 metres to the front of a restaurant, should they park in pay and display spots
david nickle the city downtown. Tory offered tacit support for the policy as council approved it, but made it clear he thought food trucks should be encouraged rather than restricted. No more red tape, at least not very much. The food truck industry could use that kind of TLC. Over the past year, the restrictions of the original policy were such that only 17 food trucks bothered to lay out for the $5,000-a-year licence. On Tuesday, Toronto’s Licensing and Standards Committee took a baby step toward that vision, on the one-year anniversary of the approval of the food truck bylaw. Licences need not be yearround affairs, and sensible food-truck operators who really only want to operate in warmer months can purchase them for a bit less. Fifty metres becomes 30
metres as the minimum distance between restaurants and food trucks. Tory and council could stand to relax that distance regulation even further. Food truck operators would of course be happiest with no distance requirements but would settle for 15 metres. All of which might make restaurant owners – particularly those with smaller restaurants that specialize in take-out – nervous about the competition. Food trucks do have one advantage, in that they can pull up stakes and set up somewhere else. A failing brick-and-mortar restaurant has no recourse but to close up. But restaurants on the edge have far more factors affecting them than the prospect of an RV-sized lunch counter pulling up outside for a few hours. And for the rest of us, a little more choice can only be a good thing.
