Crossing the growing together street in York just got safer York residents’ requests have been granted.

A crossing guard has been approved for the intersection of King and George streets, announced York South-Weston Councillor Frances Nunziata in her e-newsletter in May. Although community members had been asking for a crossing guard at that location for a long time, Toronto police had previously declined the request. Officers did not provide a specific reason, however, a letter from H.J. Alexander Community School’s principal helped persuade them.

Earlier this year, Nunziata said she submitted another request and was notified early this month that a crossing guard was approved. The councillor says she will let her constituents know when the guard will be assigned to the intersection as soon as she finds out.

Crossing guards are hired by Toronto police in the city.

Junction Craft Brewing had opened up shop in what was once the Canada Bread Factory,

just north of Dundas West and Keele streets, where a custom brewing system was designed, built and installed along with a tap room and retail bottle shop.

That was in 2011.

Five years later, president Tom Paterson and brewmaster Doug Pengelly are on the move again, preparing to transform another historic build-

Lastman’s Bad Boy makes $208,000 donation to Hospital for Sick Children According to Blayne Lastman, noooooobody’s better at helping kids in need of urgent care than the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids).

Lastman, the well-known owner of the Lastman’s Bad Boy furniture chain, dropped by the hospital on Friday to deliver a $208,000 cheque in support of SickKids’ Labatt Family Heart Centre. The funds were raised through customer and staff donations, supplier support and through the chain itself. He was greeted by SickKids Foundation president Ted

Garrard, SickKids head of cardiovascular surgery Glen Van Arsdell and SickKids a m b a s s a d o r Jo n a t h a n Richardson as he made the impressive donation.

“There’s no better institution in the world for kids,” he said.

“I met Dr. Van Arsdell a couple of years ago and his love of the game (keeping children healthy) is incredible. Given how much he loves what he does, well that got to me too.”

R i c h a rd s o n , 1 3 , h a s been nicknamed “Captain Cardiac” by his friends at

school. While still in utero, he was diagnosed with a heart defect that left him with half a heart and he has undergone three open heart surgeries, the first when he was only three days old.

“It’s my home away from home,” the youngster said of SickKids. “It’s where my doctors and nurses took care of me. Every year when I come for my check-up, they say: ‘hi’.”

The $208,000 brought the total amount donated

by Lastman’s Bad Boy to more than $400,000 over the years.

YIMBY festival helps west-end groups forge stronger connections LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Social organizations from Toronto’s west-end got together to share ideas on effecting change in the city and to strengthen their connections during the west-end YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) Festival.

The event happened Sunday at the Gladstone Hotel.

Typically a citywide event, this edition of the YIMBY Festival partnered with Gladstone Hotel and Shape My City to create a west-end event.

Held in the hotel’s ballroom, the event included a range of socially engaged, local organizations working together to foster a neighbourhood network that’s committed to affecting positive change while building a community.

Susanna Redekop, communications coordinator for Parkdale’s West End Food Co-op (WEFC), said the organization has participated in the YIMBY Festival for at least four years.

“We’re very community involved and we like to see what other community organizations are doing. People don’t always know what’s going on in their own backyards,” she said.

Redekop said she typically leaves a YIMBY event with as many as eight contacts. She said people tend to know that the West End Food Co-op exists, but not necessarily what it’s all about and she uses the YIMBY Festival as an opportunity to promote its work.

For example, in 2012-2013, WEFC launched the Co-op Cred program with the Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre (Parc) and Greenest City, which empowers those who are marginalized and dealing with hunger, poverty, and mental health issues, to gain access to healthy food.

Co-op Cred participants are paid for their labour, working in the WEFC kitchen and store, and in Greenest City’s community gardens, and earn co-op credits that can be used at WEFC to pur-

Thanks to a recent grant, WEFC is able to revamp its kitchen to make it more accessible and install a bake oven.

Cycle Toronto’s Ward 14 and Ward 18 co-captains Mary Jo Pollak and Hyedie Hashimoto were on hand to chat about cycling.

“Biking is the most practical form of transportation and the city should provide more infrastructure so people can get to and from work,” Pollak said. a showcase for groups Julia Zeeman and Sarah Stadnyk of Sustainability Ontario Community Energy Co-op (SOCEC) said they were more than happy to participate in such an event that allows the opportunity to share information about their organization.

“We’re passionate about clean energy,” Zeeman said.

Founded in 2012, SOCEC is currently working on a project with the University of Toronto to see the installation of a solar community charging station for small, electrical devices.

It will be an outdoor, interactive space that’s expected to

be complete by August.

For representatives of the Parkdale Community Health Centre, the event was a way to share a message that their organization is here to support everyone.

“We want to create an inclusive neighbourhood,” community development worker Nancy Steckley said.

From their booth, staff brought attention to the health centre’s Parkdale Parents’ Primary Prevention Project (5Ps), which provides free programs for parents and young children. It provides prenatal nutrition and support, breast feeding support, and support as your baby grows, among a whole host of others. There is ample opportunity to meet other mothers to share experiences.

Soshauna Simmons is a volunteer for the Toronto Tool Library and The Sharing Depot. They operate like a library, but a membership must be purchased for a year, she explained. There are locations in Parkdale, East York, and Downsview where you can borrow anything from measuring tapes to power washers, table saws and generators.

In East York, items such as camping equipment, games,

sporting equipment and party supplies can be signed out too.

“Our clients differ location to location,” Simmons said.

“High school kids borrow tools for school projects, parents sign out tools for home renovations.

Spokespeople for Dames Making Games (DMG), a nonprofit feminist organization that supports women who are interested in playing, making and changing games, were on hand at YIMBY. DMG includes dames-only game nights, socials, arcades and showcases, workshops and tutorials, and advocating for inclusion and diversity through public speaking and outreach.

Anyone who is interested is welcome to get involved, DMG member Izzie ColpittsCampbell said.

The YIMBY Festival provides a social space for people and groups to gather, to exchange ideas, and establish connections in an effort to effect change while strengthening their networks.

Mayor John Tory and some members of his Executive Committee bristled at a hard-hitting report by City Manager Peter Wallace arguing that Toronto’s strategy of keeping property taxes low, and services steady, has created a looming financial crisis in the city.

“I would state one fact as to why I am averse to going first to the property tax,” said Tory at the Tuesday meeting of Toronto’s Executive Committee. “Ninety seven per cent of the voters in 2014 voted for a candidate who supported a property tax increase no greater than the rate of inflation.”

Wallace’s report indicated that in effect, Toronto Council’s budgetary process has resulted in an actual property tax decrease in recent years when adjusted for real inflation. Council has been able to keep the city afloat thanks to the unprecedented strong real estate market, which has led to a nearly 150 per cent increase in the land transfer tax since it was approved in 2006 – and on one-time uploads from the provincial government.

TTC helped bottom line To a lesser degree, the city has also benefited from higher-than-inflation TTC fare increases.

“The total incremental increase with property taxes is smaller than fees paid by TTC riders over the last six years,” said Wallace.

He said that it is unrealistic to expect that the land transfer tax will keep increasing and that the province will continue with uploading of services.

“We’re going to regress to the mean at some point,” he said.

“It is inconceivable that the land transfer tax will continue to grow. So expense is likely to rise and on the revenue side, revenue is likely to decline.

Council has enjoyed a relatively free ride. Clearly we

“

The shortcuts, the tricks we’ve relied on are not realistically available.

– Peter Wallace, City Manager

need to change that. The process of kicking the can down the road will inevitably come to an end. The shortcuts, the tricks we’ve relied on are not realistically available.”

The committee spent hours on the fiscal forecast, that will ultimately lead to a debate on possible revenue tools besides property tax. Wallace said he would be providing a report in June, looking at various revenue tools.

Willowdale Councillor David Shiner suggested that Wallace’s report effectively let other levels of government off the hook for larger downloads, particularly involving transit and housing.

“I agree with you philosophically that they should be not on the property tax base but for two decades they have been,” Wallace said. “It is my argument that the kid who was born when that was downloaded is now in university... It is not an argument of what should be, it is an argument of what is.”

When Shiner asked where the money from the services that the province has uploaded has gone, Wallace responded: “You put it into lower property taxes.”

Wallace suggested that there are very few efficiencies that remain to be found in the city government.

Some councillors disagreed with that.

“This idea that we can’t find efficiencies is patently false and the wrong attitude to have,” said Deputy Mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong. “A five per cent property tax increase is going to have a real effect on families.”

For his part, Tory suggested that the city needs to look at the sale of assets, the contracting out of some services and the cancellations of others.

No one should live in squalor

Write us

T

oronto Council is being asked to approve a system to licence the city’s landlords, and we believe it’s an idea whose time has come.

At a committee meeting last week discussing the issue, Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks came out strongly in favour of the proposal.

“We have a duty to make sure that no one in the City of Toronto lives in squalor,” he said. “That’s an absolute minimum requirement that we have to meet and if we don’t meet it, we’re failing in our responsibilities as councillors.”

We couldn’t have said it better if we’d written the motion ourselves. It is without question the responsibility of our elected officials to make sure we have rules and regulations in place that guarantee basic human dignity. The thought of people living in “squalor,” as Perks described it, is something that belongs in the pages of history.

Of course such conditions are our view unacceptable, and our city must have the legal means to enforce Toronto has laws preventing such a thing. duty to protect To that end, councillors will be voting on a bylaw at their meettenant rights ing on June 7 that will allow the city to directly fine landlords who are not meeting minimum standards. As it stands now, fines against landlords are levied by the province.

The new bylaw would see the city impose the fines as part of administrative fees and it would also make sure buildings are regularly inspected, rather than when complaints are made, which is how the current system works.

Councillors are also being asked to improve the inspection system for rental apartments and to set minimum standards for when the city itself will come in and do the work and bill the landlord.

Also, councillors are being asked to approve the city collecting more detailed information about landlords who constantly violate the rules and to set up a rating system.

Those are two more good ideas councillors should be acting on.

It should be noted the biggest landlord in Toronto is actually the city itself through Toronto Community Housing (TCH). And as of last week, TCH was at the top of the list of complaints at LandLordWatch.com, which advocates for tenant rights in the city, One hopes that along with getting tough on landlords in the private sector, these new city standards and rules will also improve the quality of publicly owned housing as well.

It’s easy for mayor to say no to Expo 2025

E

xpo 2025, here in Toronto, with a major build in the city’s port lands, the eyes of the world on us, fancy pavilions from around the world, visitors from everywhere...

How’s that sound?

Tough to say no.

Actually, it looks as though it will be pretty easy for Toronto to say no.

On Monday, Mayor John Tory offered as tepid a response as he could to a letter from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicating the federal government would be interested in exploring a bid.

He was even more tepid Tuesday, after a group of business and political leaders came to Toronto City Hall to offer up a privatesector funded business case for hosting the exposition.

A study advocating a business case – that, he was

david nickle the city fine with. But a commitment to hosting the event that involved either significant city expenditure or funding from other levels of government that might cut into money that would otherwise go to the city?

Not likely.

It would, in fact, have been very difficult for the mayor to say anything else this week, as his Executive Committee was grappling with a bombshell report from City Manager Peter Wallace talking about Toronto’s long-term fiscal forecast.

The report has been floating around for more than a week, and its findings are stark: Toronto is headed for a fiscal cliff, and soon.

Council’s two contradic-

tory imperatives – to provide fulsome services and infrastructure, and to minimize the tax burden on property owners – means that very soon, Toronto Council will no longer be able to balance its annual budget.

How, under those circumstances, do you say yes to a plan to host a world’s fair 25 years into the 21st century, of the sort that was really only a big deal in the middle of the 20th century?

It’s not to say that an old-fashioned Expo wouldn’t bring some benefit to the city and the country. It would showcase the city to interested, forward-looking visitors.

And it would maintain that interest over the better part of a year.

But really, Toronto can do all of that on its own, and is doing that on its own. The port lands are

already undergoing a major redevelopment and regeneration, meticulously planned and with great private-sector interest.

Those precincts don’t need pavilions – they need parkland and housing and office/industrial space.

We are already undergoing a massive and at-least partially funded public transit expansion. Would a successful Expo bid accelerate that? Or would it simply shift funding to other transit projects that might benefit visitors better than Torontonians?

Last year, Tory did something that few other mayors have done, and said no to a potential Olympic bid.

It’s not hard to see a repeat performance when it comes to Expo.

Goldstein, a St. Clair Avenue West and Oakwood Avenue-area resident, began her career in Jerusalem at the newly established Israel Television Network in the late 1960s. She returned to Canada in 1973 where she worked with Hobel-Leiterman Productions creating weekly documentaries in a series called ‘Here Comes the ’70s’ and ‘Target the Impossible.’

Goldstein has freelanced for CTV, CBC, the National Film Board of Canada and many privately funded productions, creating documentaries, television one-offs and series, as well as feature films.

Career highlights include, the film Raoul Wallenberg: Buried Alive, which won the Genie for best documentary feature, and was short-listed for the Oscars; starting as an original

College Street rush hour full of bikes An advocacy group claims there are nearly as many as bicycles on College Street during rush hour as there are cars.

Cycle Toronto says it found from 5 to 6 p.m. 46 per cent of road users at the intersection of College and Spadina Avenue were cyclists, compared to 54 per cent cars, according to a traffic count completed last September.

According to the group, the result is particularly impressive since just 19 per cent of the road is dedicated for cyclists in the form of bike lanes.

Toronto Council is expected to debate a 10-year cycling plan for bike lane expansion at its June monthly meeting. says it wbombardier can meet deadlines

Just a few days after Bombardier announced a plan to deliver all of Toronto’s new streetcars on schedule comes word another prominent transit

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT project is postponed.

Production issues are affecting KitchenerWaterloo’s ION light rail cars, which are under construction by the transportation giant, meaning the light rail project is now scheduled to open in early 2018.

Late last week, Bombardier announced it was shifting production from its Thunder Bay plant to dedicate the facility’s operations full-time to the TTC streetcars.

Bombardier is still optimistic it can fill the full order of 204 new streetcars, of which it has delivered 18 so far, by 2019. urged to help wTTC low income earners

The city’s most prominent transit advocacy group is looking to drum up support ahead of a critical TTC

board meeting.

In an attempt to ratchet the pressure up on the board, TTCriders is circulating a petition calling for more considerations for low-income transit users.

With the TTC board expected to debate forthcoming recommendations at the May 31 meeting on providing fare relief, TTCriders is making its own demands. It wants: • fares reduced to zero for riders on social assistance; • Metropass and token prices frozen for anyone earning under $22,000 a year; • and discounts for social service agencies making fare purchases.

Bombardier promises it can meet new streetcar deadline RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Bombardier is confident it can ramp up production of streetcars for the TTC and ensure all committed vehicles are delivered on time.

A spokesperson for the Canadian transportation giant confirmed a new delivery schedule was presented to the TTC. Marc-André Lefebvre said company and TTC officials met on May 18 to hammer out the revised schedule for delivering all of the new streetcars by 2019 as originally promised by Bombardier.

“These are bold and decisive actions that clearly indicate Bombardier’s manifest resolve to meet its commitment, from the start, of delivering 204 streetcars by the end of 2019,” said Lefebvre in an email to The Guardian.

Under the terms of the new deal, Bombardier is promis-

ing 40 new streetcars next year, which ramps up to 76 in 2018, and then another 57 in 2019. The company will not increase its current commitment of 16 more streetcars by the end of 2016, which would bring the annual total to 31. shift in projects Bombardier believes it can speed up production by shifting other light rail projects away from its Thunder Bay factory, and allowing that facility to concentrate fully on the streetcars. Bombardier also plans to launch two more production assembly lines at undisclosed locations.

Meanwhile, production of light rail vehicles for Metrolinx, including those to be used for the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT lines and for KitchenerWaterloo’s Ion plan, will be shifted to the company’s Kingston plant as well as La

Pocatière in Quebec.

The company also promised to improve production in its Sahagún and Hidalgo plants in Mexico which have historically experienced quality issues, as well as the Thunder Bay site.

TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said the commission would take a wait-and-see approach before it could express confidence in the new schedule. But he said TTC CEO Andy Byford and Bombardier Transportation president Benoit Brossoit had a “good discussion”.

Seventy-three of the new low-floor vehicles were supposed to have entered service by the end of last year, but currently there are only 18. Delays in delivery of the streetcars have forced the TTC to refurbish its existing fleet of streetcars well past its natural operating life.

The vehicles were ordered in 2009 at a cost of $1.2 billion.

Junction Craft Brewing brewmaster Doug Pengelly, left, and Tom Paterson sit on the steps to their future, larger space at 150 Symes Rd.

Brewery takes up space on Symes >>>from page spent negotiating for the new, much larger space.

“It was a beautiful building at one point,” Paterson told The Guardian. “It was originally a City of Toronto building that the city built from scratch.”

The Art Deco structure first opened in 1934 and was originally known as the ‘Destructor on Symes Road’ and later the ‘Symes Road Transfer Station’ when it was converted into a waste transfer facility. Designated a heritage property, the building will be cleaned up and restored by its owner, a Toronto developer who purchased it in 2012.

“There are site specific features that need to be kept and restored,” Paterson said.

Then, Junction Craft Brewing will adapt the space in a way that pays tribute to

the building’s industrial roots while accommodating the brewery’s needs with help from PLANT Architect Inc. “We are very excited – ‘the destructor’ is a gem of a building, which had high design aspirations from its inception

by RC Harris,” spokesperson Lisa Rapoport said. “Junction brew is a terrific group that really care about design – of beer of course – but also packaging. Their aesthetic is really a perfect match for the building.”

In addition to increased production and distribution capabilities, the brewery will offer tours, act as an event space and include an expanded tap room and retail bottle shop.

The goal is to open in late December, Paterson said.

Paterson and Pengelly first connected when Paterson w a s t h e ow n e r o f T h e

Paddock Tavern on Bathurst Street, a space he restored to its original 1940s jazz cocktail glory days. Its menu was comprised of imported and Ontario craft beers, one of which was Saint Andrew’s Vienna Lager, brewed by Pengelly, who delivered it himself. Paterson vowed then to go into business with Pengelly.

Junction Craft Brewing’s mission is to “create balanced, flavourful versions of diverse beer styles. Its signature brew, Conductor’s Craft Ale, is a nod to the neighbourhood’s manufacturing history and its proximity to the junction of four railway lines.

Paterson says he hopes the new brewery will be “a place all craft beer lovers will enjoy and want to keep coming back to.”

and a hundred other budding restaurateurs hoping to capitalize on Toronto’s vibrant culinary community. Except for Gauravi, it worked.

Shortly after beginning the search for a location to host her concept Tilde – a taquiera that experiments with cross-cultural flavours and hawks craft brews and cocktails – she found a spot on the Danforth, an area growing beyond its Greek routes to more diverse food offerings.

Perfect weather for a concert in the park Sunday was a beautiful day for a concert in the park and as fate would have it, a group of friends invited me to bring out my guitar and play for their kids.

They wanted me to teach them how to do a sing-along song. So, I kicked things off with an original tune: This Sing-Along Song Is Getting Out Of Hand.

Jamie: “It really is quite simple. As easy as can be.

All you have to do is repeat everything I say after me.”

Kids: “Everything I say after me.”

Jamie: “Wait, I haven’t started yet, silly.”

Kids: “Wait, I haven’t started yet, silly.”

Jamie: “No, I don’t think you understand.”

Kids: “No, I don’t think you understand.”

Jamie: “This sing-along song is getting out of hand.”

Kids: “This sing-along song is getting out of hand.”

Jamie: “Can we just start over from the top?”

Kids: “Can we just start over from the top?”

Jamie: “No. What I meant

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY was that I want you to stop.”

Kids: “No. What I meant was that I want you to stop.”

Jamie: “This ain’t exactly what I had planned.”

Kids: “This ain’t exactly what I had planned.”

Jamie: “This sing-along song is getting out of hand.”

Kids: “This sing-along song is getting out of hand.”

Jamie: “There’s gotta be something I can do.”

Kids: “There’s gotta be something I can do.”

Jamie: “To make this go the way it was supposed to.”

Kids: “To make this go the way it was supposed to.”

Jamie: “Cease and desist, I demand.”

Kids: “Cease and desist, I demand.”

Jamie: “This sing-along song is getting out of hand.”

Kids: “This sing-along song is getting out of hand.”

Jamie: “I give up you win, what can I say?”

Kids: “I give up you win,

what can I say?”

Jamie: “From here on, we’ll just have do it your way.”

Kids: “From here on, we’ll just have do it your way.”

Jamie: “Jamie is the smartest guy in the land.”

Kids: “Jamie is the dumbest guy in the land.”

Jamie: “I said, Jamie is the SMARTEST guy in the land.”

Kids: “I said, Jamie is the DUMBEST guy in the land.”

Jamie: “This sing-along song is getting out of haaaaand.”

Kids: “This sing-along song is getting out of haaaaand.”

Jamie: “OK. Enough already.

The song is over. You win.”

Kids: “OK. Enough already.

The song is over. You win.”

Jamie: “Jamie is the smartest guy in the land?”

Kids: “Jamie is the dumbest guy in the land. Nice try.”

Jamie: “Ah, I figured it was worth one more shot.

Kids: “If it’s any consolation, we give you an A for effort.”

“I quit my job and the next week I had a location,” she says. “I was expecting it to be a long drawn out process.”

Gauravi was able to get some assistance from Enterprise Toronto. “I applied for (Starter Company) because we really needed the funds to expand the staffing and expand our hours into brunch service,” she explains. She got the grant, fine-tuned her business plan and received mentorship, as well.

Foodie abandons nuclear engineering to launch taquieria

“People from a couple other startups got together and (although) they were starting apps and techs companies and I was starting a brick and mortar place it was interesting to see the different perspectives,” she says. “Some were having issues with staffing and training so it was good to find that common ground even through our industries are completely different.”

For Gauravi Shah, cooking was just a hobby, something to do in the evenings to distract herself from the daily grind of working as a nuclear engineer in Pickering. That is, until she discovered she had a genuine knack for it.

Since completing the program the entrepreneur and foodie has added brunch to Tilde’s offerings.

We know what you’re thinking: sure, her

“Enterprise Toronto really helped me to try to address a very challenging area in the industry,” says Gauravi.
