Family caregivers get support at May 14 Caregiver Show Simply put – family caregivers need support. That’s the reason for the upcoming The Caregiver Show, a free event May 14 at the Direct Energy Centre. Produced by Metroland Media Toronto and conceived in partnership with Downsizing Divas, the show will provide a relaxing day for caregivers, giving them access to caregiving resources, providing the opportunity to meet other caregivers in similar circumstances, and to receive a little pampering. Some eight million Canadians are family caregivers. A caregiver is anyone who provides care to a loved one or friend with acute, chronic problem or aging issues. A caregiver can be a wife, husband, sister, brother, daughter, son, uncle, aunt, mother, father, grandchild or caring neighbour. “We do hope you take advantage and attend this show,” said Marg Middleton, general manager of Metroland Media Toronto. “We want to provide good information and show people how to access helpful >>>LEARN, page 6

The City of Toronto is hosting two public meetings for implementing the Eglinton Connects Planning Study in regards to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Over the last two years, the city conducted the study to determine the future land use planning framework and public realm plan for Eglinton Avenue, between Jane Street and Kennedy Road, to intensify, beautify and improve mobility along the street. Staff will now consult the public on specific implementation measures to make the plan a reality. The study area corresponds to the area where Metrolinx is currently building the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, scheduled to open in 2020. The first meeting will be held Monday at the Ontario Science Centre, 770 Don Mills Rd., from 6 to 9 p.m. The second meeting will be held next Thursday at Beth Sholom Synagogue, 1445 Eglinton Ave. W., from 6 to 9 p.m. A comprehensive presentation of implementation measures will take place at each meeting at 7:30 p.m. The planning study resulted in 21 recommendations and implementation strategies related to travelling, greening and building along Eglinton. Following the consultation process, staff will report back to the Planning and Growth Management Committee in June with the Official Plan and zoning bylaw amendments.

Give caregivers our support I

t takes a good heart to dedicate oneself to caregiving – be it for an aging parent, a friend or family member with acute or chronic health problems. It takes patience, self-sacrifice and a lot of love. But it also requires support and respite for the caregiver themselves, to be able to learn from experts, to lean on others in similar circumstances and to have a chance to take time to relax and refresh. That’s what’s on offer at The Caregiver Show, coming up May 14 at the Direct Energy Centre. It’s a free event produced by Metroland Media Toronto and conceived in partnership with Downsizing Divas. It’s tailored to people who care for others – and with as many as eight million family caregivers in Canada, we’re sure there are plenty of you among our readership who could use the support. We invite you to join us for the day. If you’re taking care of another person, especially if you haven’t had any previous training or support, it can be our view challenging and isolating – when it comes to Hope to see you particularly navigating opportunities for at Wednesday’s government support or discovering local resources. Caregiver Show You’re not alone. Allow us to get you the help you need. The Caregiver Show will give you a chance to learn about those resources and network with people who are in similar circumstances. Form some new relationships, broaden your education and take some time out for a little pampering. Get first-hand advice from one of our prominent guest speakers: Teepa Snow, an occupational therapist currently working as a dementia care and dementia education specialist; Dr. Amy D’Aprix, co-founder of Essential Conversations Project, Inc., an organization dedicated to assisting families in having the key planning/decision-making discussions; Shirlee Sharkey, president and chief executive officer of Saint Elizabeth Health Care; and Dipti Purbhoo, senior director, client services with Toronto Central CCAC. You’ll also have a chance to explore products and see demonstrations from our participating organizations. And of course, don’t miss the Rest and Relaxation Zone to replenish your energy levels and learn ways to take care of yourself while you care for another. The show runs from 11 a.m to 7 p.m. on May 14. For more information or to register for the free event, visit www.caregivershow.ca We hope to see you there!

A simple gift idea for Mother’s Day The best presents involve presence This is a little ditty about one grandmother reminiscing about Mother’s Days past and upcoming. My Favourite Mother’s Day Gift Of All I really liked the rose bouquet Can’t say enough about the Chardonnay And those yoga classes were something else I never would of thought of that myself The cherry bubble bath was sweet The Mamma Mia tickets were a treat And that necklace blew my mind I wear it pretty much all the time I love the Persian rug And that Davy Keon mug But my favorite

Mother’s Day gift of all Is when you give me a hug The portrait goes well above the fireplace Never had a quilt with so much lace And that rocking chair is the best It’s my favorite place to rest The chandelier really makes the den I play the James Taylor CD again and again And those fudge brownies that you bought My stomach and thighs thank you a lot

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY of town It’s not as much fun with you not around So this year put away that credit card And please don’t rack your brain so hard Your open arms are quite enough for me They’re all I really need

I love the Persian rug And that Davy Keon mug But my favorite Mother’s Day gift of all Is when you give me a hug

Oh, I’ll always love that Persian rug And that Davy Keon mug But my favorite Mother’s Day gift of all Is when you give me a hug The very best Mother’s Day gift of all Is when you give me a hug

Sometimes it gets pretty rough I miss you and the kids so much Since you all moved out

Co-ordinate social agencies To the editor: It has been reported that a social agency in York SouthWeston called For Youth Initiative (FYI) has received a half million dollars from the federal government’s Department of Justice. Minister Peter Mackay visited this agency and made this announcement. I have no problem with any social agency in York South-Weston receiving funding that comes from our hard earned tax dollars, but I must insist there be some kind of accountability as to how these funds are spent. York South-Weston has many social agencies operating here that are receiving funding. My concern is that they don’t co-ordinate with each other and sometimes these agencies offer the same programs and services. By co-ordinating, they would be able to offer different and unique programs. Moe Irshad

After hearing what had happened, Drigo and his friends wanted to do something to celebrate Trafford’s life while raising money for Kids Help Phone to help address the issue of depression and suicide among youth and young adults. “I grew up with him,” said Drigo, adding they attended Weston Memorial Junior Public School together when they were in the primary grades. “And I played a bit of hockey with him.” As they began to plan the event, Drigo said community groups, including the Weston Village Business Improvement Area, helped to get

the word out as well as York SouthWeston dignitaries like Councillor Frances Nunziata and school board Trustee Chris Tonks. They have surpassed their initial modest fundraising goal of $400 with nearly $2,200 donated online. The hope is to raise even more when the charity ball hockey game along with a barbecue, raffle and silent auction, takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Weston Memorial Junior Public School, 200 John St., this Sunday. “Hockey meant the world to Terry and we thought that this was the most fitting way for the community to give him his last send-off,” Drigo said.

Kelly’s mayoral role deserves praise

e won’t return your phone call personally. He doesn’t worry about his office budget. And he shows up early. Sometimes, Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly shows up very early. On Monday, he and Toronto Centre-Rosedale Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam hosted a 9 a.m. news conference, to do something else that Mayor Rob Ford would never do: invite 200 LGBT couples to get married, for free, at Toronto’s Casa Loma. Now that Mayor Ford has left city hall to look after his personal problems, Kelly is the de-facto mayor. The leave of absence funnels to Kelly the few powers left to Ford after council voted to isolate him in November. Kelly represents Toronto at official functions, acts as the head of the government in emergency and otherwise. And he continues in his role of attempting to elevate the discussion at city hall, and restore dignity to the institution – a role in which Kelly has excelled. I take the time to point

david nickle the city this out, because he really deserves the shout-out. This past 12 months have seen the city dragged through the mud – from the moment that crack video started making the rounds, or maybe a short while before, when gossip about Mayor Ford’s substance troubles found their way from back-rooms to front pages. Kelly stepped into the role of deputy mayor in the midst of it, taking over from Doug Holyday after he made his way to Queen’s Park. Kelly did so gamely – knowing there was trouble with the mayor, and hoping to provide quiet counsel to the mayor and his brother, Councillor Doug Ford, as the office unravelled. A thankless job, but Kelly had the good grace to appear grateful for it. And when council put him in the sort-of top job, he managed to retain some grace even as he was clearly delighted to oblige. He’s spent the past five

Make cash not trash!

#ShouldaUsedToronto

months taking council’s pulse, nudging things along on issues he cares about, but otherwise taking a que-serasera approach to matters of municipal policy. You would never run a campaign promising to be a mayor like Kelly. But it is actually a good lesson for future mayors, as they think about how to manage this city. Norm Kelly’s geniality has led to a pretty productive council. It passed a decent budget, made a tough call on the future of the Billy Bishop Airport, and generally conducted its business as well as one might hope. The next mayor might find him/herself needing some of Kelly’s low-key mojo. Given the city’s financial constraints, it will be difficult to make a mark with more than one or two big, city-building projects and still manage the books. The virtues of modesty, inclusiveness and compromise might be the main of what our future leaders require.
