Spotlight on food at Ward 17 Davenport candidates meeting LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com In advance of the Oct. 27 municipal election, the Stop Community Food Centre, in collaboration with the Davenport Perth Neighbourhood and Community Health Centre, is hosting At the Table for Davenport for its clients.

The event on Wednesday, Oct. 8 aims to bring together community members for a dinner and civic engagement conversation with Ward 17 Davenport councillor candidates to discuss issues that matter most to residents.

“We’re hoping it will lead to a series of events,” said The Stop spokesperson Kathe Rogers.

“We wanted to do something to highlight the issues in advance of the election.

We wanted to bring people together with food.”

The Stop is working in partnership with the Toronto Food Policy Council (TFPC), established in 1991 as a subcommittee of the Board of Health to advise the City of Toronto on food policy issues, because it has put together a primer for this election to get people talking about food, said Rogers.

It is the TFPC’s mission to connect people with diverse backgrounds from the food, farming and community sector to develop innovative

policies and projects in support of a health-focused food system.

For example, said Rogers, the council is developing a Food in the Park Policy, whose aim is to encourage more community gardens, farmers’ markets and community kitchens; and a Safe Public Spaces initiative so people can grow their own food.

“We’re planning to facilitate a conversation about the issues that matter most to our community members using the Toronto Food Policy Council’s election primer as a starting point for discussing the intersections between food, health and poverty,” Rogers said. healthy choices The TFPC is looking at making healthy food more accessible and affordable by taking a page out of New York City’s book by converting convenience stores into “healthy corner stores.”

“This is one of the proposals, particularly for neighbourhoods, like Davenport, that are food deserts,” Rogers said.

The dinner (not open to the public) will take place in the Stop’s drop-in centre and will accommodate as many as 100 of its clients. It will be prepared by its own chef with help from volunteers.

The Stop Community Food Centre has locations at 1884 Davenport Rd. and 601 Christie Street, Barn #4. Visit at http://thestop.org

Awareness about oil pipeline activity a priority in Toronto

Write us

I

t travels underground right across Toronto, beside busy roads, near the backyards of homes and an elementary school, has been around for almost 40 years and yet many residents have no idea it even exists.

However, all that is quickly changing for the Enbridge oil pipeline known as Line 9.

Environmental groups are concerned with a federal decision earlier this year to allow bitumen oil, known as tarsands oil, to be pumped through the pipeline.

In today’s edition, residents can learn more about Line 9.

Environmentalists say the bitumen oil is heavier than the light crude oil Line 9 presently carries, and the consequences of a spill due to a breakage in the line could be dire, especially since the line crosses the Humber, Don and Rouge rivers in Toronto.

The environmental concerns are heightened by the age of the line, which was built our view in 1976, and by the fact bitumen oil is considered more corrosive We need a say than light crude.

Enbridge, however, rejects the on emergency notion that bitumen oil will be flowing through Line 9. A spokesresponse plan person said light crude will be the bulk of what Line 9 carries as the refineries that take the oil are not “heavy” refineries. Whether the capability of those refineries changes to deal with bitumen in the future remains to be seen.

As part of the approval by the National Energy Board (NEB) to allow bitumen oil through the pipeline, Enbridge is carrying out work related to pipeline integrity and the creation of an emergency response plan.

And it’s in this emergency plan that Toronto residents need to be especially involved.

Toronto Councillor David Shiner said the City of Toronto is working with Enbridge on emergency response plans, but much of what needs to be done is under the jurisdiction of the federal government.

Enbridge has filed a plan with the NEB and says it is waiting for a response before making the details public.

When those details become public, Toronto residents must be given numerous opportunities for input on the emergency response plan.

Given the thousands of homes and busy roadways located so close to Line 9, Toronto residents’ awareness of Line 9 and an understanding of what to do in an emergency must become a priority for Enbridge, the federal government and the City of Toronto.

Pumpkin sightings popping up all over With winter overstaying its welcome, spring and summer were both relegated to playing a game of catch-up this year and neither seemed to be able to find their stride. Can fall buck this trend and get the seasons back in sync?

It’s a tall order to be sure, but with the sightings of pumpkins, one can hope.

Pumpkins have always been an unofficial beginning of autumn and they’re popping up all over.

It’s getting darker earlier and lighter later, too. It’s also getting cooler in the evenings and mornings – a few more signs that fall is underway.

It’ll be watching the squirrels closely next. It’s typically scurrying time for them right about now. My concern is whether there will be enough nuts out there for all of them. We lost a lot of trees with the icy winter. But I wouldn’t bet against squirrels stepping up their game. They’re

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY a resourceful bunch. I’ll be rooting for them. Fall wouldn’t be fall without squirrels doing their thing.

The leaves look like they’re getting ready to start changing. The Leafs, too.

Both are indications that it’s fall.

The same can be said for the evergreens not changing. You can say that about evergreens any season, of course. But their perpetual glow really stands out in the fall, when all other colours around them begin to fade.

We’re seeing the last of bees and flies for awhile and birds are shrinking in numbers as well. All right on cue.

But there is still a little maintenance that has to take place for fall to truly to be fall. Boats have to all be back to the docks and marinas. Pools have to be covered with tarps. Windows

have to be washed. Screens removed.

And lawn furniture? Bye now. Buh-bye. You too, lawn mower. Back to the shed for both of you. Rakes get in standby mode.

Uh, uh, uh, snow shovels.

Don’t so much as flinch.

Don’t even think about it. This is Toronto, not Calgary. We’ll let you know when we need you. Our people will call your people.

White pants? Take a hike.

What do you think you’re doing out here? You should have been gone long after Labour Day. You know the rules.

Light, skimpy clothes? As much as we enjoy wearing and watching you, nothing lasts forever. Adios until next summer.

Coats and jackets you can leave your hangers.

Cuddly sweaters you can come out of your drawers.

And that’s about it.

Due to climate change the seasons have been taking a real hit of late. Fall

has not escaped its wrath, but it doesn’t seem to have been affected nearly as much as the other three which is a tribute to the resilience of its key components: pumpkins, leaves, squirrels and the like.

So turkeys, over to you.

You’re by far the biggest fall stars of all and you’ll be front and centre in short order. Given the circumstances there is sure to me more pressure on you this Thanksgiving than ever before.

It’s a lot to ask I know and we’ll all understand if you’re not up to it. But a word of advice before you do decide if you’re going to decide to step up to the plate or not: if you can’t stand the heat, you might want to stay out of the kitchen.

Montreal, Que. The pipeline enters Etobicoke south of Eglinton Avenue West from Mississauga heading north alongside a portion of Hwy. 401. It then turns east north of Finch Avenue heading eastbound through North York and Scarborough. As it leaves Scarborough’s eastern border it travels through Rouge Park lands.

Enbridge spokesperson Graham White said Line 9 has been misrepresented by those opposed to it, and it is not a tarsands oil pipeline.

“Line 9 will carry primarily light oil as it did prior to the planned reversal. The destination refineries are ‘light’ refineries and do not have significant capability to refine heavy products like bitumen oil,” he said.

However, Enbridge has permitted shippers to transport different oil blends which includes heavier grades such as bitumen.

The 38-year-old pipeline could start transporting the heavier grade bitumen as early as December, say some environmental groups.

Sa b r i n a Bow m a n , o f Environmental Defence, is skeptical of Enbridge’s assertion that the line will pump mainly light oil.

“With the NEB approval they can pump as much of the tarsands oil as they want and we wouldn’t know,” she said.

Since the NEB approval, a series of integrity digs on the pipeline have been taking place to help support the planned capacity increase, said White, with one work site being at G. Ross Lord Dam and Park in North York.

Environmental groups cite an Enbridge spill that

saw 3.3 million litres of oil go into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River on July 25, 2010 as cause for concern. That spill is estimated to have cost Enbridge more than $1 billion and is reportedly the largest on-land oil spill in U.S. history according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Last December, in light of the growing concerns, To r o n t o C i t y C o u n c i l requested Enbridge have an emergency response strategy in place for Toronto in order to minimize the impact of any potential spill.

Wa rd 2 4 W i l l ow d a l e Councillor David Shiner has been a part of the city effort to implement safety emergency response plans. At the moment, he said there are no such plans in place in the Greater Toronto Area.

“We are trying to make sure Enbridge can make the line as safe as it possibly can make it,” Shiner said.

“But the city can only do so much since it’s an issue that needs to be handled at the federal level. The federal government gave permission, but hasn’t pressured Enbridge, as much as the City of Toronto has done to implement safety procedures. Right now the city doesn’t have the capacity to respond to a disaster.”

Enbridge filed an Emergency Response Action Plan this past July with the NEB and is waiting for feedback before releasing details about it later this October.

Having spoken to communities along Line 9, Environmental Defence said most residents they contacted were unaware of the pipeline and the possibility of it carrying tar sands oil.

While White said that between May 2012 and July

2013, Enbridge met with more than 60 municipalities, 150 emergency responder groups, six conservation authorities, landowner groups, 14 Aboriginal communities and the provincial governments of Ontario and Quebec regarding the line.

about Line 9, SBFF handed out Tamil and Chinese pamphlets in order to improve the communication gap among north Scarborough residents, who they said knew nothing of the pipeline.

Fringe candidates for mayor have to battle to bring issues forward We are a free country – or at least, a free enough country to allow anyone with citizenship, some cash and a birth certificate showing they’re out of short-pants to run for public office.

When it comes to actually holding that office...well, we’re not quite free enough to let just anybody do that.

Fame, money – even infamy – is a prerequisite.

The mayor’s city councillor brother Doug Ford, who launched his race for the mayor’s seat with a hasty Saturday afternoon canvass and a cobbled-together platform, was polling 23 per cent before he even cleared his throat for his first debate Tuesday. John Tory and Olivia Chow both rode into the campaign with public CVs sufficiently massive to attract money with an almost gravitational force.

Those other candidates?

The 60-odd who registered to run in the municipal election for the city’s top job?

Nobody wants to hear from them.

����� ������ ��� ���� Ari Goldkind, a criminal lawyer with a progressive platform and a genially aggressive style, has been complaining for months about the fact that debate organizers won’t invite him to the table to test his ideas against Chow’s and Tory’s and Ford’s. On Monday night, the Forum poll finally found he charted.

Morgan Baskin, an articulate young community activist, has been running a youth-oriented campaign from the fringes, and has rarely had a chance to debate issues.

There are dozens of others and each and every one of them, I suspect, will be a little miffed that I didn’t name check them in this column. To those, I offer no apology: absent ideas or coherent expression of same, a candidate deserves every inch of the fringe they

inhabit.

But candidates like Goldkind and Baskin are a different matter. Both are attempting to inject reasonable and thoughtful alternatives into the debate, all while wearing appropriate business attire (something by no means a given among the fringe candidates). They don’t have CVs (at least not the kind that get you elected mayor), they aren’t famous – aren’t even infamous. But they seem like they have a plan.

It’s a tough row to hoe, having to sell both one’s controversial notions and one’s own untested credibility at a time when all eyes are looking elsewhere.

Here’s hoping that Goldkind and Baskin and other fringe candidates dreaming impossible dreams in October find some energy for advocacy and outreach between November and the next election.

TRUCKING CAREER OPEN HOUSE ◗COMMERCIAL Humber College is holding an open house for anyone considering commercial trucking as a career choice.

As part of Trucking Career Day, 18 transportation employers including Schneider National, Canada Post and the city’s private garbage contractor GFL Environmental, will be on hand to speak with potential recruits on the benefits of a fulltime job as a truck driver, which has a starting salary of $45,000 according to Humber.

The open house is Wednesday, Oct. 1 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Humber Transportation Training Centre, 55 Woodbine Downs Blvd.

Visit www.humber.ca/ trucking or email truck. info@humber.ca GO AND BUS SERVICE NUIT BLANCHE ◗FOR

GO Transit is promising special train service for Nuit Blanche.

GO is planning to run extra rail trips on all seven if its lines for patrons of the all-night art extrava-

����� ����� TO �� TRANSIT ganza, which starts at dusk Saturday, Oct. 4 and continues into Sunday morning.

For Lakeshore riders there will be two extra trains leaving Union Station and making all stops at Aldershot GO station in the west and Oshawa GO station in the east. Another travel option is a late-night bus service that make its final trip from Union at 2:20 a.m.

Visit www.gotransit.com/ nuitblanche.

The TTC is also expected to extend subway service for Nuit Blanche.

PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON KING ST. ◗EXTENDED

The city’s transportation department has extended rush-hour parking restrictions on a stretch of King Street West.

The changes, which are already in effect, mean parking is restricted along King between Bathurst Street and Roncesvalles Avenue a further hour weekday mornings from

7 to 10 a.m., and in the afternoon between 3 and 7 p.m.

A statement from the city says the change comes after a city council decision from July intended to reduce congestion on the busy segment of King as well as improve streetcar service.

COMPLETE STREETS NEXT WEEK ◗FORUM

The seventh annual Complete Streets Forum takes place in Regent Park next week in celebration of active transportation.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne has been invited to deliver opening remarks for the forum, organized by the Toronto Centre for Active Transportation. The group promotes opening up road use to all forms of transportation, including bicycles and walking.

The forum takes place at the Daniels Spectrum on Monday, Oct. 6, starting at 9 a.m.

EQAO results: reading and writing improving, math more of a challenge While grades 3 and 6 students showed improvements in reading and writing, the recent Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) results showed mathematics proved to be more of a challenge.

The EQAO results released last week have shown the percentage of Grade 3 students who performed at or above the provincial stan-

dard increased by 11 per cent in reading (from 60 to 71 per cent), and by 10 per cent in writing (from 70 to 80 per cent) over the past five years.

The Grade 6 students showed similar improvement in reading (eight per cent increase in reading from 69 to 77 per cent) and in writing (10 per cent increase from 70 to 80 per cent).

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students and staff should be proud of these results. We have set ambitious goals because we know that our students can achieve great things when we believe in their success,â&#x20AC;? said Donna Quan, TDSB director of education, in a statement.

In the same five-year period, the EQAO results showed Grade 3 students remained the same in math

(71 per cent), while the Grade 6 students who performed at or above the provincial standard decreased by four per cent (from 63 to 59 per cent).

Paralympians aim to level playing field for students with disabilities Teacher resource program launched at Toronto school

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU TORONTO IS GROWING AND WE’RE PLANNING FOR YOUR FUTURE

CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com Paralympians Victoria Nolan and Josh Dueck visited Sloane Public School LAST Thursday to launch a resource available for elementary school teachers across Canada to make physical education classes inclusive for children of all abilities.

It’s something Nolan, who is the co-author of the Paralympic FUNdamentals resource program, said she wished existed when she grew up visually impaired.

“As a child, I wasn’t able to participate in sports,” said Nolan, recalling that she often practised on her own in the hallway. “I just thought it was something I couldn’t do. As I got older, my self-esteem started to plummet.”

But then she heard about Brian McKeever, a visually impaired skier who won two gold medals in the 2006 Paralympic Games in Torino, and decided to give pararowing a try.

“It really brought me back to life,” said Nolan, who competed in both the 2008 and 2012 Paralympic Games and is currently a Toronto special education teacher.

Now she’s hoping children, both able-bodied and with disabilities, can participate in sports activities together aided by the physical literacy resource she wrote with Stephanie Bowerman, a York University course director specializing in adapted physical activity.

Damages from fire set at $500,000 Volunteer for the 2015 Pan Am Games ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

A $500,000 blaze damaged four semi-detached homes on Sun Valley Drive near Jane and Dundas streets last Friday.

Fire crews were called to a car on fire in a garage at 9 Sun Valley Dr. at 12:44 p.m.

“When we arrived, the house, the garage, the

car were on fire and then extending into the house next door,” Capt. Adrian Ratushniak said.

Homes at 5, 7, 9 and 11 Sun Valley were damaged.

“Number 5 has some water damage, number 7 has substantial damage, number 9 has probably the bulk of the damage and number 11 has some damage from (fire) extending into the roofline,” Ratushniak said.

“We still haven’t determined the initial cause, but we’re estimating the damage to be over half a million (dollars). The fire marshal’s office has been notified.”

There were no injuries.

“There were no occupants in the addresses,” Ratushniak said.

More than 15 trucks and 50 firefighters were at the scene at the height of the three-alarm blaze.

The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games are less than a year away and interviews are set to start for people interested in volunteering.

More than 17,000 people have already applied.

There are many different jobs available for volunteers including preparing the field of play, taking tickets, ushering spectators to their seats, shuttling athletes and dignitaries to

venues and participating in the Opening and Closing ceremonies.

Visitors and media from all over the Americans and the Caribbean will be at the Games and it’s Toronto’s chance to showcase its city.

The Pan Am Games take place from July 10 to 26 and the Parapan Am Games from August 7 to 15, and will involve municipalities stretching from Oshawa to

Welland.

Tickets for the Pan Am Games are now available.

Avoiding injuries in seniors Tips for fall from Toronto Central CCAC

As the last days of summer fade and the coolness in the air becomes the norm, so does concern for those who are frail, have mobility challenges or are otherwise vulnerable. Older adults often welcome the arrival of fall with both happiness that the hot weather has passed and trepidation about what’s to come.

Cooler temperatures herald many realities that may cause physical stress to an elderly person. These include the beginnings of frost, and later on, snow and ice. The prospect of managing on a slippery surface such as a sidewalk or stairs can be daunting for someone who is physically fragile. The logistics alone of navigating a walker or using a cane without slipping is one that can cause much anxiety in seniors.

For those who may be physically compromised, the prospect of suffering a fall, whether it’s indoors or outside, is a very real fear.

The Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) has a team of Care Coordinators who work with a large number of elderly clients. Through working with the elderly, the CCAC has learned some simple but effective tips to help their clients and other seniors to keep safe from injuries caused by falls.

Here are some proven strategies for the elderly in preventing unexpected slips and falls:

INDOOR • Make sure to always have one hand free in order to hold the handrail – also consider putting handrails on both sides of the stairs • Proper indoor lighting is key to reducing falls – brightly lit household areas will reduce the incidences of unexpected slips • Take one step at a time making sure your foot is firmly planted on the stairs before putting your weight on it • Always wear shoes or slippers with non-slip soles • Ensure that indoor stairs have appropriate treads or non-slip runners • Keep electrical cords out of the way by attaching them to walls and under carpets, in order to reduce the possibility of trips and falls

OUTDOOR • Newly-fallen leaves pose a risk for seniors by providing a slippery surface that makes the area prime for falls. Have leaves raked (by a support worker, neighbour or loved one) and cleared as soon as they appear • Monitor the weather and be prepared: Have a plan in place to spread ice salt to steps and walkways before venturing outdoors on a frosty morning • Cracked or uneven stairs or walkways are unsafe for seniors. Check for any bumps and have them repaired • Ensure that sturdy handrails are installed on both sides of outdoor stairs For more information about supports and community services for seniors, contact the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) at (416) 506-9888

U of T student mapping Toronto’s trees JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With an estimated 10 million trees in the City of Toronto, University of Toronto postdoctoral fellow Mathew Brown’s goal of mapping out each and every one of them is certainly a tall task.

Brown has created a website that aims to locate and identify each and every tree within the confines of the city, something he said was prompted in part by a push by Mayor Rob Ford to cut into Toronto’s tree planting budget.

“He didn’t seem to know the value of trees,” he said.

“They’re CO2 absorbing so they offer air pollution benefits and temperature regulating benefits.”

The City of Toronto has a tree database, but Brown said he believed it to be out of date and outright inaccurate in many cases.

When he posted his website on popular news aggregate website Reddit, using the city’s tree database as a starting point, those suspicions were confirmed.

“Right away, I started getting quite a few comments and quite a few

“

People can take a picture and geotag it so they can get the exact location right away, and there are a lot of ways to identify what kind of tree it is.

– Michael Brown

emails,” he said.

“A lot of people started noticing the tree database isn’t correct and my site allows them to move trees or change trees to the right species.”

Brown borrowed the computer code for his project from a tree map in Oakland, California, and has mapped more than half a million of the city’s trees.

The city’s tree canopy has been altered greatly in recent years, not just due to new plantings but also due to trees being felled by last winter’s ice storm, beetle infestations and age.

“By using crowd sourcing, it’s a good way to keep track of the changes that have happened and that continue to happen,” Brown said.

He is urging the public to check out the map and move trees that are located in the wrong spot. He will soon add features allowing the public to remove or re-label trees to properly identify them, and to add private trees to the map.

Doing so will take but a minute of a user’s time, though users will have to sign up to use the site and data added or changed will be tracked to ensure the database remains accurate.

“People can take a picture and geotag it so they can get the exact location right away, and there are a lot of ways to identify what kind of tree it is,” he said.

Brown knows the value of a good tree canopy. He lives near Kew Gardens in the Beach and notices the stark contrast between the neighbourhood he calls home and the downtown core he frequents as a U of T student.

“I think the nicest, oldest trees in the city are in (the Beach) but when you go downtown, it’s very urban – there’s a lot of concrete,” he said.

The Toronto Tree Map project gives Brown a chance to use his own

experience while exploring two of his passions. He has a background in climate change science and is studying computer science, with a focus on web development and data visualization.

He is hoping to use the data collected to plot native versus nonnative species and use satellite information to map carbon dioxide and other data.
