Youth cabinet helping improve financial literacy Tara HaTHerly thatherly@insidetoronto.com

Dan Pearce/Metroland

The Toronto Youth Cabinet (TYC), the official youth advisory board to the City of Toronto, is petitioning Ontario’s Ministry of Education to include a clearly defined financial literacy component in the mandatory Grade 10 career studies course. Prakash Amarasooriya is representing TYC in the initiative, and poses here before meeting with Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter at Queen’s Park. that material in a competent and confident way.”

In a recent statement, recognizing November as financial literacy month, The Ministry of Education noted it has spent more than $3 million on financial literacy resources and professional learning opportunities for elementary and high school teachers since 2011.

Amarasooriya said incorporating the material into the Grade 10 career studies course makes sense because the course is mandatory, so all students would get the knowledge they need to succeed financially.

It also comes at a time when students are starting to use bank accounts and preparing to apply for student and car loans, and credit cards, in the near future.

He believes the topic can be added to the current course without sacrificing anything

from its curriculum. The course currently focuses on developing self-assessment, personal-management, careerplanning, job-search, decisionmaking, organization, transition and communication skills.

Some schools bring in financial literacy experts to teach students skills, noted Amarasooriya, adding, “The problem with that is that that only applies to some schools, and more than not it’s the affluent neighbourhoods.”

He didn’t know what to expect when he met with Minister Hunter, but he and the TYC were thrilled to find she and the Ministry of Education want to work with the group to make its vision a reality.

“I’m still in disbelief about it,” he said, following the meeting. “It was a great meeting and a productive one. We just want to make sure going forward

that we don’t lose sight of the objective and that we actually create meaningful change in the curriculum.”

The TYC is excited to work with the Ministry to develop a curriculum, he added. The group is doing its homework and consulting with relevant parties to see what resources are available to aid curriculum development and how financial literacy is taught in other parts of Canada.

“We appreciate the feedback we received from members of the Toronto Youth Cabinet and will continue to work with educators, parents and students to inform next steps in curriculum review,” said Minister Hunter in a statement emailed to Metroland Media. “By learning about financial literacy, students will have the skills they need to thrive now and throughout the rest of their

lives.”

On Nov. 3, Minister Hunter posted a video to Twitter captioned, “Hey @TOYouthCabinet, I hear you on #FinLit! Good news: We’re improving financial literacy for students.”

In the video, she talks about the importance of financial literacy for ensuring student success and economic strength.

“Ensuring that students have the information that they need for everyday life is critical,” she said. “We will be updating the Ontario curriculum careers course to have a dedicated module for financial literacy.”

he Toronto Youth Cabinet wants to ensure everyone in Ontario graduates high school knowing how to budget, manage debt, file taxes and purchase property.

And the group, the official youth advisory board of the City of Toronto, has convinced Ontario’s Ministry of Education to make it happen.

“I think it’s something that a lot of youth have been talking about for a while, that they don’t feel that they are learning life skills in the current education system,” said Toronto Youth Cabinet (TYC) member Prakash Amarasooriya, who is representing the group’s initiative to have a clearly defined financial literacy component added to Ontario’s Grade 10 career studies course.

“If students are aware of how to use basic financial tools as well as how to think longterm early, I think you’ll create smarter citizens, which creates a stronger economy for the Province of Ontario.”

In October, the TYC started a petition asking the Province to make the change. According to the Ministry, financial literacy is already dispersed throughout various courses between Grades 4 and 12.

“I think there may be a disconnect between what is intended with the curriculum as well as what is actually being done at school,” Amarasooriya told Metroland Media Tuesday, Oct. 25, ahead of a meeting with Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter at Queen’s Park Tuesday, Nov. 1.

He believes the curriculum’s current references to financial literacy are too vague.

“We don’t think it’s being done as effectively as it can be,” he said. “Ideally, I think we wanted it to be incorporated in multiple courses, just like the government, but we wanted it to at least be in one specific course, because that way you can train teachers as well.

“Teachers have been complaining that they’re not being trained to teach this subject material. So if they don’t feel confident in it, they will not teach students well. And so if you put it into the Grade 10 careers course curriculum, you can train teachers to deliver

Teaching money smarts in school is absolutely necessary

The York Guardian, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.

The York Guardian is a member of the National NewsMedia Council. Complainants are urged to bring their concerns to the attention of the newspaper and, if not satisfied, write The National NewsMedia Council, Suite 200, 890 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M4W 2H2. Phone: 416-340-1981 Web: www.mediacouncil.ca

his year, for the first time, the total amount of household debt owed by Canadians surpassed the country’s entire gross domestic product (GDP).

And according to Statistics Canada, the gap between disposable household income and credit market debt is getting wider - meaning we’re just not making enough money to catch up to what we owe.

For people who are struggling to find financial balance, figuring it out often comes well after the problem’s already established. For younger generations, these trends indicate a critical need for them to get money smart before it’s too late.

Thanks to the Toronto Youth Cabinet (TYC), there’s good news on that front. Its members started a petition and successfully lobbied the province’s Ministry of Education to include dedicated financial literacy offerings in the high school curriculum.

The subject is currently touched upon in a variety of courses between Grades 4 and 12.

But it’s not enough, suggests TYC member Prakash Amarasooriya, who spoke to us about the campaign.

Teachers aren’t being trained properly and the opportunity for impactful learning is being missed.

“If students are aware how to use basic financial tools as well as how to think long-term early, you’ll create smarter citizens, which creates a stronger economy for the Province of Ontario,” he said.

Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter met with the TYC and has agreed to a curriculum review and adding the material to the mandatory Grade 10 career studies course.

The Bank of Canada warned this year that consumer debt is growing at a historic rate - due much in part to record-low interest rates - and that it will eventually become unsustainable. No doubt, the adult population suffering under the weight of this debt could have benefitted from mandatory financial literacy classes in school.

It’s not too late to give younger generations the skills needed to budget, manage debt, file taxes and purchase property. Kudos to the students that are taking action to make those lessons part of the high school experience.

But, as the TYC argues, those lessons need to carry enough weight to stick with them for the rest of their lives.

The broader student body may not currently realize what good their peers are doing for them, but once they start their careers, take on rent or mortgages and juggle bank accounts and credit cards, it’ll be come evidently clear.

Cycling culture pushing its way into suburbs Two bike hubs open up in Scarborough this year The year 2011 was a bad one for cycling in Toronto's suburbs.

Councillor Michelle Holland in Southwest Scarborough wiped out bike lanes on Pharmacy Avenue and Birchmount Road. Her residents, she said, called hundreds of times, demanding this.

The Rob Ford administration believed suburban cyclists wanted to ride on well-lit off-street trails, not busy city streets.

But that same year, councillors with wards atop the Scarborough Bluffs shelved extensions of the Waterfront Trail through three

MIkE ADLER Edges of Toronto local parks - public lands you own - after getting earfuls from the neighbours.

Some claimed cyclists speeding through these parks on new paths would collide with seniors and dog-walkers; they would scare wildlife away.

Between 1996 and 2011, there was an "explosion" of cycling in Toronto's core - in some areas, 20 per cent of trips were now by bike - but cycling in outer areas had declined.

Cycling advocates, however, didn't give up on Scarborough or other sections of Toronto far from downtown where, unlike bike savvy neighbourhoods such as Trinity Bellwoods and Danforth Avenue, cyclists in traffic might still seem alien.

In 2016, they opened two bike hubs in Southwest Scarborough where, says Marvin Macaraig of Scarborough Cycles, riders shun wider roads for Birchmount, Pharmacy and Midland Avenue, where traffic volumes are lower.

It's not just a lack of bike lanes: Toronto's suburbs have few stores selling or repairing bikes (for all its size, Scarborough has just one).

A downtown innovation, hubs offer repair clinics, safety tips and group rides,

building confidence in cycling. "In this first year," Macaraig says "we have learned that there is a definite need and appetite for increased cycling programming in Scarborough."

Researching barriers to cycling in the suburbs, Beth Savan, a senior fellow at University of Toronto's Massey College, believes they can be overcome.

Drivers got used to cyclists downtown, she says, and it won't be rapid, but this "cultural shift" will happen in the suburbs, too.

If the city sticks to its plans, bike lanes are coming by 2025 to Midland in Scarborough, to Jane, Yonge and Bathurst streets in North York, and to Burnhamthorpe Road and Renforth Drive in Etobicoke.

Your neighbours might even like it.

WAFFLE, Christopher Stewart Peter November 14, 1981-November 8, 2016 Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.

For nothing now can ever come to any good.

- W.H. Auden Sadly, early in the morning of November 8, 2016, Christopher left us, ending the sadness and pain he had been experiencing. Mourning his loss are his devastated parents, Alan Waffle and Georgea Waffle, and his heartbroken younger sister, Meghan and her partner Anthony.

Aunts and Uncles, Ted and Lyn Rapley, Penney Brown, Elizabeth Leatherdale, and Peter and Lee Waffle share his loss with us, as do his multitude of cousins and their families.

Christopher was a beautiful young man, who befriended all who met him and had an opportunity to spend time getting to know his quirky and amazing intelligence and sense of humour. He was so greatly loved, and will be so greatly missed.

As an expression of sympathy, please hug your loved ones and furry friends, as Christopher would want.

A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date.

Please contact family members for information.

for the live-work spaces will be closer to opening day.

Artscape, which bills itself as a notfor-profit urban development organization that makes space for creativity and transforms communities, is fundraising $3 million, which includes a large donation from Rockport Group, to offset oper-

ating costs for the first 15 years, which will allow community groups to use the space for free or at “exceptionally affordable” rates. The low rates are meant to help groups build up their programs in the early years.

exterior of the buildings.

Artscape vice-president Pru Robey said the name is meant to reflect that the space is for everyone.

Robey told a packed gathering the use of the ‘commons’ word goes back to the times of the Magna Carta. But, it’s also a contemporary word, commonly used community facilities.

“We really like that it’s a contemporary and traditional use, but most of all, we like the idea of inclusivity, which is contained in the idea of the common,” she said.

The words ‘Weston Common’ will be used throughout the site and on wayfinding signage leading people to it.

Entro Communications Inc., a company that develops way-finding signage, showed off the brand identity for Weston Common that will feature bright colours.

“These are warm colours, friendly colours. They are quite bold, but they are not screaming,” said Udo Schliemann, Entro principal creative director. “They work together and create a certain colour spectrum. They are very diverse. They speak to different parts of this community.”

When asked why the brand design only includes colours and doesn’t reflect Weston’s history, Schliemann said images fade quicker than block colours, and the more specific you get in your imagery, the more people you exclude, while the hub is meant to be inclusive to everyone.

Inside the hub itself, people will walk into a lobby space where events such as exhibits can take place. Further inside, there will be a small meeting room, a 785 sq. ft. flex space, two studio spaces of approximately 1,400 sq. ft. for which Artscape will find tenants, an 1,800 sq. ft. event space, washrooms, a small prepkitchen and other support rooms.

Artscape plans to begin the tenant application process for the two studio spaces in early 2017. The tenancy process
