Unity would eliminate youth violence: report FYI taskforce says working together key to success CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com
insidetoronto.com
www.yorkguardian.com
The lack of collective action is what makes youth violence
such a resilient issue in the city, suggested a report that was launched Monday. “It’s not a lack of trying. It’s not a lack of engagement,” said Lekan Olawoye, executive director of For Youth Initiative, who co-chaired the taskforce that worked on the report titled From Analysis to Action: A Collective Approach to Eliminate Youth
Violence in Toronto. “We know the work is happening, but we know the work is not happening together. Above all else, we cannot do this in isolation.” The Youth Anti-Violence Taskforce was convened by For Youth Initiative last November and consists of members including Deputy Police Chief
Peter Sloly, Transamerica Life Canada president and CEO Doug Brooks, and special advisor and former Toronto mayor David Miller. Olawoye presented the findings in front of stakeholders representing different sectors of society, which the report called on to work in collaboration with each other. They
include representatives from the government, community agencies, city and faith leaders, and the private sector. It identified four key areas that youth require to avoid violence and crime: reducing social isolation, educational attainment, employment opportunities, and family wellbeing. >>>ACTION, page 12

S
urrounded by giant colourful floats, dozens of racks of costumes, and smiling children of all ages, the Christmas season was officially launched Tuesday inside St. Nicholas’ secret workshop with details of this year’s Santa Claus Parade. The 109th Santa Claus Parade, to be held Sunday, Nov. 17, will feature more than 18 floats, hundreds of costumed participants and live bands. The parade will get going at Christie Pits on Bloor Street, east of Ossington Avenue, at 12:30 p.m. and head east to Avenue Road. It will then turn south before continuing east on Wellington Street before ending at St. Lawrence Market at Front and Jarvis streets. The 6.2-kilometre parade is expected to draw some 800,000 people along the route, Peter Beresford, president of the Santa Claus Parade, said during the launch inside the Weston Road and Wilson Avenue workshop. Some additions have been made to the parade this year. Runners can now lace up for the Holly Jolly Fun Run, a five-kilometre trek that will start at noon on parade day and follow the same route. The cost is $100 per participant, and runners will be provided with red toques and mittens, and are

encouraged to dress up for the occasion. All proceeds will go to supporting the parade, and charitable tax receipts will be issued. The run is limited to 2,000 participants. Also new is the addition of the SantaSnaps mobile photo app. Available for both IOS and Android, the app allows additions to pictures, such as adding red noses, mistletoe and elves. Like last year, Santa’s float will be equipped with a Santa Cam to capture the crowd as parade-goers watch Santa make his way through
the streets. Snapshots will be posted on the Santa Claus Parade website and available for print about one week after the parade. As of Nov. 1, some 65 Canadian Tire stores are participating in the Red Nose Drive across the GTA in support of its Jumpstart program, a national charitable program helping financially disadvantaged kids participate in organized sport and recreation. Half the proceeds from the noses will go to Jumpstart and the other half to the Santa Claus Parade. New floats will be part of the big day, including a gingerbread village, Smurfs, and a float featuring Olympians and Paralympians heading to Sochi next year. Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus appeared at the workshop, saying they looked forward to seeing all the children at this year’s parade, with Santa asking them to go easy on the cookies when he makes the rounds Christmas Eve. Eva Garaffa decided to participate in this year’s parade after watching her sister previously take part. Decked out in an elf baker costume, the 9-year-old North York resident said she’s not sure what she’s asking for this Christmas, but knows Santa always gives good presents.

Santa Claus Parade History
w1905: Santa made his first official visit to Toronto on Sunday, Dec. 2, thanks to the sponsorship of T. Eaton Co. The original parade was a “one man show” with Santa as the only attraction. Santa arrived in the city by rail, transferred into a special automobile and rode through the downtown streets, handing out souvenirs and surprise packages to the community along the way. w 1906: Making a grand entrance, Santa arrived at the parade in a carriage drawn by four white horses. w 1923: Santa drove down Yonge Street in a sled pulled by eight live reindeer brought in from Labrador, Newfoundland. Children along the route started to join in the march, periodically stopping to gather together and sing with a band. w 1927: The parade expanded to include seven floats leading the way for Santa. Over the years, many floats came to be identified with popular nursery rhymes and fairy tales. w 1953: Santa “came to town” on a more conventional style of mechanized float, featuring a sleigh led by eight white mechanical reindeer. This has been his trademark for the Santa Claus Parade ever since. w 1982: T. Eaton Co. had to withdraw from the parade sponsorship and 20 corporations joined together as sponsors to help continue the annual event. w 1995: The Santa Claus Parade became the world’s largest Christmas parade and the longest

As a new fundraising initiative for the parade, the five-kilometre run will take place directly before the parade.

very year we don the crimson poppy to honour our veterans for their service and sacrifice. We donate to the Royal Canadian Legion so that they may continue to support them. We reflect upon their contribution to our country with ceremonies on Nov. 11 and a minute of silence. Unfortunately for many, that’s the extent of their personal commitment to the occasion. What else can one do? The answer is much more – especially today with the aid of social media and online tools. In fact, it’s become so easy to learn, spread awareness of our history and share the stories of our veterans that the question becomes, why wouldn’t you do more? For starters, visit bit.ly/174PWqT where we list local Remembrance Day our view services, veteran stories and where we’ll have photo gallerWe can do so ies of those ceremonies as they much to share happen. If you know a veteran or veteran stories someone who’s currently in service, post their photo to our Facebook page www.facebook.com/YorkGuardian so that we can honour them in our online community. While on Facebook, head over to the Canada Remembers page at www.facebook.com/ CanadaRemembers to find a variety of unique ways to remember our veterans and to see links to fascinating articles like ‘Tales of Animals in War’. View and share some of the 106 Canadian Army Newsreels being released on YouTube by the War Amps at www.youtube.com/warampsofcanada. The more than 20 hours of footage were filmed and produced by the Canadian Army Film Unit and document our troops in action on the front lines in some of the Second World War’s major events, like the invasion of Sicily and D-Day. Get the kids involved and have them write an online message (bit.ly/1a5dv6g) to our soldiers who are currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. Help grow a permanent record of the veteran experience by getting in touch with The Memory Project if you know a veteran who may be willing to have his or her story recorded and their memorabilia digitized: www.thememoryproject.com Tap into any of these accessible resources and you’ll be helping to create a lasting impression of some of our finest citizens. After all they’ve done, that’s the least they deserve.

On the trail of the next big hockey star
I
love dropping by the local rinks to catch kids’ minor hockey. There’s always a good buzz the moment you walk inside the arena, particularly for AAA games. You don’t just see family and friends in the stands, there are often scouts taking in the action, too. I was in Westwood Arena on the weekend and bumped into a couple of long-time scouts, Hank and Vinny, leaning over the railing. They were in an animated debate over a player Vinny had been talking up all morning. Hank: “Come on, man. You think I just fell off a turnip truck? You really expect me to believe the kid is a combination of Crosby and McDonald? “ Vinny: “No, I don’t. You left out Gilmour, man. You keep forgetting Gilmour.” Hank: “So, you’re saying Crosby, McDonald AND Gilmour?” Vinny: “Yes. Crosby, McDonald AND Gilmour.
jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY For the zillionth time. How much longer are we going to have keep going over this?” Hank: “Until sanity sets in, man. Would you listen to yourself? Every year some poor kid is subjected to enormous hype. The rumour spreads through the hockey community like a brush fire and when you finally see him on the ice he can’t even generate enough of a spark to light a cigarette for Mini-Me.” Vinny: “Mini-Me smokes? No wonder he’s so short.” Hank: “It was an analogy, noodlebrain. I don’t know if he smokes.” Vinny: “Boy, I sure hope he doesn’t. A lot of people look up to him, you know?” Hank: “Who the heck looks up to Mini-Me? He’s, like, three feet tall. And quit trying to change the subject. This ain’t about him. This
is about this combination Crosby, McDonald and Gilmour nonsense.” Vinny: “It ain’t nonsense. He’s playing at Chesswood Arena tomorrow. If you don’t believe me, you can come with me and check him out for yourself.” Hank: “Maybe I will.” Vinny: “Now what the heck are you doing?” Hank: “Whaddya think I’m doing? I’m looking into your eyes,” Vinny: “If you try and hold my hand, I’m gonna call a cop.” Hank: “I’m looking into your eyes to see if you’re telling the truth, doofus.” Vinny: “Why don’t you make me take a polygraph?” Hank: “Actually, I was thinking a breathalyzer might be more appropriate.” Vinny: “Will you just accept the possibility that his guy is all I say he is and get off my case already? I have no reason to lie. My reputation is on the line here.”
Hank: “You really are serious, aren’t you?” Vinny: “Never been more serious about anything in my life. Now can we just shut the lid on this kid once and for all and go back to watching this game?” Hank: “OK. OK. You’ve sold me.” Vinny: “Finally. Lord have mercy.” Hank: “Man, oh man. So, it’s true then after all. A combination Crosby, McDonald AND Gilmour. Wow. This I gotta see.” Vinny: “Of course, I’m referring to Bing Crosby, Ronald McDonald and Happy Gilmore. Gotcha.” Hank: “I walked right into that, didn’t I?” Vinny: “Walked? More like sprinted, man. You can thank your lucky stars they don’t test scouts for steroids.” Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much. His column appears every Thursday.

Rail corridor workday extension irks Sullivan Rahul Gupta rgupta@insidetoronto.com The MP for York South-Weston has filed a federal complaint to get Metrolinx to reverse its decision to implement 18-hour construction days along the Georgetown GO rail corridor. Mike Sullivan said he filed an official complaint last week to the Canadian Transportation Authority (CTA) in an effort to halt the transit planning agency’s plans to schedule Georgetown South project work until 11 p.m. six days a week until next spring. In a letter sent to provincial transportation minister Glen Murray last week, Sullivan said the decision would bring undue hardship to Weston residents, who have been “extraordinarily patient” in dealing with dust, noise and traffic disruptions caused by ongoing work as part of Union Pearson Express air rail link. “...to suggest that residents cannot put children safely to bed in a quiet environment after 7 p.m. for at least the next six months is completely unacceptable,” states the letter, which was also sent to Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig. “The deadline your government set for the Pan Am games is not a sufficient reason for such severe disruption to residents.” Last week, Metrolinx staff from the agency’s community office in Weston sent a notice to residents advising them of the need to extend the work period for tunnel and water main work at the Church Street rail crossing beginning mid-November due to “unforeseen delays.” In an email to The Guardian, Manuel Pedroso, community relations manager for the Georgetown South Project, said the delays were caused by old city infrastructure and outside of the power of Metrolinx. “...this abandoned infrastructure was causing flooding issues at a neighbouring property and we had to halt our work until we could resolve this issue which took many months,” wrote Pedroso on Monday. Further delaying matters, according to Pedroso, was a past commitment by Metrolinx following a survey of residents living along the rail corridor, to keep two out of three streets over the corridor – John, King and Church – open while the construction continues. “I should note that if we were able to close more than one road crossing at a time, the work would
get done more quickly. However, when we surveyed residents along the rail corridor last summer, 67 per cent indicated they preferred extending hours to closing more than one road crossing at a time,” he wrote. But Sullivan said residents were forced to choose between two
untenable possibilities. “The question was, do you want us to work until 11 every night, or will you allow us to close roads that connect the community to Weston Road?” he said. The CTA is expected to make a ruling on Sullivan’s complaint by the end of the month.
Metrolinx has scheduled an open house this evening to discuss its construction plans for Church Street at the York West Active Living Centre starting at 6:30 p.m.

Time-based transfers on St. Clair don’t sit well with Del Grande Mike Adler madler@insidetoronto.com Special treatment for streetcar riders on St. Clair Avenue doesn’t sit well with Scarborough Councillor Mike Del Grande, particularly when a “temporary” two-hour transfer program there has lasted almost eight years. In this case, “temporary seems to be permanent” and permanent “seems to be inequitable with other parts of the city,” he told the October meeting of Scarborough Community Council. It’s not the first time Del Grande has tried to raise the issue of the timebased transfers on the 512 St. Clair route, which TTC CEO Andy Byford said was introduced in 2006 as a way of dealing with merchants’ concerns during construction of the raised streetcar right-of-way. “Our information indicates that there was not a big uptake on the time-based transfer arrangement and, therefore, there was no real inequity to others by offering this limited incentive for people to continue to travel and shop locally,” Byford added in a July letter to Scarborough councillors. At the October meeting of Scarborough Community Council, Del Grande said he saw it as a slight to Scarborough that no TTC representative came to explain the commission’s reasoning in person. “We’re not taken seriously here,” the Scarborough-Agincourt councillor charged. After a warning from chairperson Michelle Berardinetti that his questions on St. Clair should be brought to the TTC board instead, Del Grande accepted a deferral of the issue to community council in November, with the promise TTC staff would also appear. Berardinetti said she was told the TTC would be using the Presto fare card city-wide in two years, charging all fares by time, not distance, and making the St. Clair transfer issue moot. “You’ll be able to get to any destination in the city in two hours,” she said. In his letter, Byford said time-based transfers are just one of “various system-wide fare and transfer policies” the board will study this fall.

Artist reaches into past

����
Josée Duranleau hosts first solo show FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Josée Duranleau has taken a hobby and blossomed it to the next level. Growing up in Montreal, the mixed media artist and public relations company owner, who now lives near St. Clair Avenue and Bathurst Street, loved to doodle and create abstract paintings. A musician from a young age, who studied classical flute before switching to the tamborim, Duranleau always felt a connection to the arts, even specializing in arts publicity when she founded Duranleau Communications. “I made greeting cards in my 20s, and I would decorate cigar boxes for gifts,” she said. But it wasn’t until June 2012 that she began to take her creative side more seriously. When her public relations work slowed down in the summer, Duranleau said she was encouraged by her graphic designer husband to focus on her art. Using images, fabrics,

stenciling and acrylic paint, she began creating collage series, three of which will be showcased during her first solo exhibit, Meditations and Inspirations, Nov. 8 to 28 at Galerie Céline-Allard at Centre Francophone de Toronto, 20 Lower Spadina Ave. “I’m so excited, I wanted to share it with my friends, family and anyone who loves art,” Duranleau said. One series focuses on Buddha and Tara, the female embodiment of Buddha. Inspired by her mother Jacqueline’s sense of style from her younger days, and fascination with the flappers of the 1920s, Duranleau also cre-
ated two collages as a tribute to these women in the form of black and white images, accented with colourful patterns and designs from the era, she said, adding each series is made up of eight to 10 pieces, varying in size. “I have images of my mom from the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s, and when I was doing research came across images of flappers,” she said. “I fell in love with them. The show is around women. The spirituality of Tara, the motherly homage to my mom, the 1920s when they were crazy about fashion. The dancing, the smoking, the short hair, the short skirts, it was like the beginning of the women’s movement.” Duranleau’s mother, now 81, still won’t leave home without her lipstick applied, her daughter said. “In her youth she was so beautiful,” she said. “To me, she was almost like a movie star. She grew up poor and made all her clothes, but she was so stylish, so chic. She looks at her old photos and can tell you the story behind

what she’s wearing.” Duranleau, who finds a meditative calm in cutting paper, said the image of Buddha fills her with serenity. “It gives me a sense of calm and inner peace,” she said.
Duranleau will be at the gallery for opening reception Friday from 6 to 9 p.m., and Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.

Remembrance Day is a tradition to share across generations Many children know that Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate soldiers’ achievements and sacrifices and to pay respect to solders who died in battle. But they might not know the significance behind the poppy or why we commemorate on November 11. Here is a brief history of some Remembrance Day traditions to share with the kids.
Armistice Day Remembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train car-
riage at 11 a.m.
Remembrance Day evolution Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after World War II to commemorate soldiers from both world wars. It is now used as a way to pay hommage to any fallen soldier. In Canada, Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday in many provinces and territories. Official national ceremonies are held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Events begin with the tolling of the Carillon in the Peace Tower, during which members of the Canadian Forces participate and congregate at Confederation Square. Similar ceremonies take place in provincial capitals across the country. Very often moments of silence are offered for lost lives.
What about the poppies? One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died so
that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem
titled “In Fl a n d e r s Fields.” After the poem was published, it received international acclaim, and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle. Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers an opportunity to remember those soldiers’ efforts to secure freedom.

Back in action in Parliament! Tabling petitions (Oct. 24, 2013)
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table petitions signed by my constituents calling on the government to protect Canada’s lakes and rivers, including the Humber River in my riding.
Making a statement on flooding in Toronto (Oct. 25, 2013) Mr. Speaker, this past summer the City of Toronto suffered what is described as a once in a hundred years storm. Thousands of homes were flooded. Families lost cherished possessions and spent millions rebuilding. Neighbourhoods in my riding of York South—Weston were amongst those hardest hit. I visited the flooded streets to offer comfort and assistance. I saw tremendous resilience from the very young to the very old. I also saw the aftermath of this Conservative government’s neglect of our city and its critical infrastructure needs – such as improved sewers, some of which are over 100 years old. With climate change, severe storms like the one that hit Toronto on July 8 will become more frequent. The Harper government needs to get off the sidelines and start investing in my city to prevent wide-spread flooding from happening again the next time a big storm comes through. I have written on these matters to the Ministers of the Environment and Infrastructure, but the response did not offer any assistance. This is a prime example of climate change adaptation this government talks about. The time to help is now - my constituents not only expect it, they demand it.

Ford has absented himself from role of Toronto’s mayor Toronto City Council is in disarray, and it will likely remain so for some time. That is the one thing that one can safely write, in a column that met a late Tuesday afternoon deadline: just a few hours after Mayor Rob Ford made his stunning admission – that he has indeed smoked crack cocaine – and a few minutes after his late-inthe-day news conference that he still means to be mayor. Things are moving quickly, and no doubt as this shows up in newspaper boxes and mail slots things will have no doubt developed. But this remains: the mayor has admitted to smoking crack cocaine, sometime last year, while in office. In doing so, regardless of whether he stays in his office, he has effectively absented himself from his role as mayor. Council won’t, and really shouldn’t, support him. Council is going to have to find a way to steer itself over the next year. At the next council meeting, council will take some steps toward doing that. Willowdale Councillor John Filion has brought forward a motion to temporarily strip
david nickle the city the mayor of all his powers, seizing for council the ability to appoint an executive committee and deputy mayor. Denzil Minnan-Wong, the Don Valley East Councillor who has been one of Ford’s more effective lieutenants on that executive committee, is asking the mayor to simply leave and look after himself. There was also word Tuesday that the mayor’s brother Doug could be off the budget committee, after he demanded Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair’s resignation over the chief’s comments when he unveiled the existence of the video that appears to show Rob Ford smoking crack. That sets up an infrastructure that might allow council to control its own agenda. But the task will just be beginning. In a few weeks, council will have before it the 2014 operating budget to debate and pass. This is an area where a strong mayor either leads with a plan, or provides an idea to oppose.
launches transit campaign wCivicAction Not much has been heard from the Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance since CEO Mitzie Hunter jumped ship to stand in a Scarborough byelection for the provincial Liberals. But after a few months of relative silence, the advocacy group has launched a campaign in support of its Your 32 initiative, highlighting the benefits of funding public transit. Available at the group’s website, CivcAction’s list of 32 reasons claims betterfunded transit will boost job creation, increase quality of life and improve civic pride, among other things. The campaign appropriately runs for 32 days, ending Dec. 2 with a call to the Wynne Liberals to include more transit funding in the 2014 spring provincial budget.

Eglinton Crosstown team gets consultant
Ottawa’s loss is Toronto’s gain as a respected transit consultant left the capital’s transit agency to join the Eglinton Crosstown LRT planning team. “Super-consultant” Brian Guest is credited for playing a major role in bringing Ottawa’s first O-Train light rail line into being back in the early-2000s, and working on the upcoming 13-stop Confederation LRT Line, set to begin running in the downtown core in 2017. wants East York included in pilot wMcMahon
A city councillor wants East York to be included in a pilot program making it possible to access both GO Transit and the TTC using a single fare. B e a c h e s - E a s t Yo r k
Who will give voice to the vision for this budget? Karen Stintz? One of the other pretenders to the mayoralty next year? Now, almost certainly council will keep the city running, the tax rates reasonable and the services intact. But anyone who thinks it will be smooth need only look at the flailing debate over subways versus light rail versus other subways to abandon that idea. Council will also be making up its mind on the Billy Bishop Airport extension some time before the next election. Once again, some sort of decision will emerge – but it, like the budget, will emerge from chaos. If Ford were gone, then Norm Kelly, the avuncular councillor from ScarboroughAgincourt, could ably step in and guide matters, in the manner of Ford’s mandate. But as deputy to the crippled wreck that the Ford administration will have become, it will be difficult for him to do any better. Ford has left an awful, filthy mess for others to clean up.
