LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Imam Mohammed Bemat was moved when a woman dropped off flowers and a note at Newmarket’s mosque following Sunday’s mass murder of Muslim men during prayers in Quebec City. "It was very heartwarming," he said, adding the gift was one of dozens of messages of support the mosque has received after six men were killed and 19 others injured in the shooting at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Quebec. The note on the flowers brought to the Newmarket mosque was heartfelt. "To our Muslim friends, not everyone is hateful. I am so sorry for your loss. I am so sorry for the fear you are made to feel," said the message signed by Kathy L. The sentiment was echoed in as many as three dozen letters and emails sent to the Newmarket Islamic Centre, Bemat said. "It made us feel good. It made us feel like we had a strong com-

STORIES OF MONEY, GREED, FAMILY AND BETRAYAL I have been a wills lawyer since 1989. Sometimes I think I’ve heard and seen it all, that is until I appear on a radio show or meet someone who tells me a wills and estates related story that shocks me. I have co-authored four books on the topic of wills, including The Family Fight, The Family War, Where There’s An Inheritance and The Wills Lawyers. In the next few columns, I am going to be sharing some of the stories from my books. Some may shock you, some may touch your heart and others may bring a smile to your face.
The Wills Lawyer
The Bank of Mom And Dad Martin, Sonya and Andre always got what they wanted from Mom and Dad. Football, baseball, dance lessons and innumerable other afterschool activities were always paid fully and Les Kotzer happily by Mom and Dad. When the kids were young, they were easy to spoil, and spoiled they were. However, as time went on, so did the expenses of Martin, Sonya and Andre. Martin’s expenses did not match Sonya’s; and Sonya’s expenses paled in comparison to Andre’s. One child went to the community college in town; one child went to a university close to town; and one child went to pursue a post graduate degree out of the country. All of these expenses were paid by Mom and Dad, who paid out of love, and who never counted which child got more than the others. Unlike some of the kids’ friends who had to work part-time jobs to pay their own way, Mom and Dad never expected their kids to pay their own expenses. Everything changed when Martin had to ask Mom and Dad for financial help for his upcoming wedding. When Dad asked Martin what his future in-laws were contributing, Martin reacted angrily. “What about Sonya’s car?” “What about Andre’s college tuition?” Mom and Dad were shocked that their generosity has created problems; and, they immediately called a meeting with all three children. “We want to be upfront with you, and, we don’t want you kids to ever fight with each other over money. We called this meeting because Martin wants us to pay for part of the wedding, and we want to help him out. We always want to be open with all of you.” Martin exclaimed, “What do you mean PART of the wedding? I thought you were going to pay for the WHOLE thing. If YOU don’t pay for it, then who else is going to pay for it?” His brother, Andre’s reaction was: “If Martin gets all that money for his wedding, then I want the same amount too! I signed up to go to the Antarctic, and that trip is going to cost big bucks!” Sonya looked at Mom. “ You bought each of my brothers a new suit for their graduations but you never bought me a prom dress.” Accusations led to bursts of angry reactions, Mom started to cry; and then it was Dad’s turn to react; and, he did so very angrily. “No wedding money, no trip money, no money for anyone! We spoiled you rotten! Now that’s all going to change. You’re on your own. Our meeting is over.” And with the meeting now over, the kids, scowled and arguing went out the front door, followed by Dad. As they turned to look back at Dad, he hollered, “Start making your own money because Mom and Dad’s bank is closed. Forever!” The Care-Giving Contract The radio call-in show topic dealt with aging parents and care-giving children. From the various calls that came in, I selected the following memorable exchange: Caller to the radio host: “I’m going to tell all elderly parents out there how to get your kids to look after you when you need their help. In my case, I’m cooking, cleaning, and shopping for my mother. I take her to the doctor, the dentist and the chiropractor. I told her I wanted to get a weekly salary for helping her this way. So I made my mother sign a contract to pay me for doing these jobs.” Radio host to caller: “Are you kidding me?” Caller to radio host: “Why should I do this for free? I’m not her slave!” Radio host to caller: Maybe your mother should have charged you for looking after you when you were a kid! I think you owe her a lot more than she owes you.” Les Kotzer has been a wills lawyer since 1989 with the law firm of Fish and Associates. Les is a regular call-in guest on Newstalk 1010. He has also been featured in newspapers and magazines across North America, including the National Post, New York Times, Time Magazine, Washington Post, Fortune and Good Housekeeping. He has also appeared as a call-in guest on CNN. You can watch him on CNN on his website leskotzer.com. You can also watch Les’ will and estate planning seminars on his website or on YouTube. Les offers a free will review for those who have a will and want to make sure it is up to date and not a recipe for a family battle. He also offers a free will consultation for those who do not have a will and are not sure where to start. To reach Les you can call his office at 905 881-1500 or email him at les@leskotzer. com. Fish and Associates is located at 7951 Yonge Street (Yonge north of Steeles and below Highway 7). Visit willappointment.com or leskotzer.com for more information. Les prides himself on speaking plain language.

Safe Rail Communities’ Helen Vassilakos stands on the southern approach to the Howland Avenue rail bridge, near the site of an August derailment.
Advocates demand better protocol for train derailments HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com
˜˜Ali Asgary/York University the risks of living near a rail line ... in the same way that residents need to understand what the risks are when living in a low-lying area; risk of flooding or insurance implications," Vassilakos explained. She’d like to see a section dedicated to rail emergencies and a more detailed shelter-in-place resource for residents, similar to the one created by the City of Brampton, which informs residents, in detail, of notification protocols, how to prepare a shelter-in-place kit and a list of do’s and don’ts in the event of a derailment. Vassilakos has been working with Professor Ali Asgary, of the Disaster and Emergency Management department at York University, to develop the MySafeRailApp. The app uses yearly historical information rail companies are required to give to municipalities about the nature and volume of dangerous goods moving through cities. The app gives users the ability to determine if they live in an immediate impact zone for a large train derailment. "People need to know about the risks and hazards in regards to where they live. The more they know, the better they can prepare themselves and make short- and long-
term decisions based on that," Asgary said. "People really need to know what they’re up against." Users can input their address into the beta website and see a list of hazardous materials that have passed through the area. "Once that’s identified, it tells you what steps can be taken if it does happen: whether to shelter in place, or evacuate. It’s very basic information based on Transport Canada’s safety guide." At the municipal level, mayors and councillors have for years been requesting the federal government step in and promote better communication between the rail industry and local communities. The August derailment in Toronto prompted Coun. Joe Cressy to bring forward a motion, which was adopted by city council, that asks the deputy city manager to look at what a proper communications protocol should be because the city doesn’t have one. It’s something communities "desperately need," he said. "Although the derailment this past summer was contained, it exposed some real issues, one if which was the complete absence of formal communication from any level of government with residents ... They were left in the dark," said Cressy. "We recognize rail is a federal issue, but as a city, if we can improve communications in the absence of a proper federal protocol, then we will. The city will have to create its own." Cressy added there are things that can be done now with regards to rail safety, such as overhauling the railway management system and looking at alternative rail routes that don’t pass through densely populated areas. "If there is the potential for harm, no matter how small, we need to reduce that potential," said Cressy.

Advocates and municipal politicians are calling for more to be done to protect the public from hazardous materials transported through communities across the province. According to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, there were 144 accidents involving dangerous goods across Canada in 2015, and 33 incidents where a tanker leaked at least 200 litres of the dangerous material it was transporting. For years, municipalities have been asking for more information about what hazardous materials are travelling by train. And a recent train derailment in Toronto’s midtown neighbourhood of the Annex in August was a stark reminder that residents aren’t prepared for a derailment. Safe Rail Communities (SRC), a national, communitybased initiative based in Toronto, released a survey after the derailment asking residents how prepared they felt for a derailment. More than 80 per cent indicated they were not prepared. "There seems to be gaps between what is being done with respect to emergency planning at city hall, and knowledge getting to residents at the neighbourhood level, and that’s because there isn’t enough outreach to communities," said Helen Vassilakos, co-founder of SRC. At the Office of Emergency Management at the City of Toronto, a spokesperson emphasized they "don’t want residents to have a specific plan for a derailment, but an emergency plan for any eventuality, all hazards." Although Vassilakos agrees to the holistic approach, there is still a lack of information about derailment emergencies. "We feel that residents need to clearly understand what

JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com Two teenagers have been charged alongside their parents as part of a suspected drug lab investigation in Markham. Police discovered the suspected lab in a Holst Avenue home
while executing a search warrant in relation to a theft investigation. After the suspected lab’s discovery, several neighbouring homes were evacuated because of possible danger from the chemicals involved. It is suspected the lab was being used to
produce methamphetamine, a police source said. A 48-year-old man and 44-year-old woman, along with their 16and 14-year-old sons, were charged with production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Scarpitti won’t rule out federal politics TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com He isn’t saying yes and he isn’t saying no, but Frank Scarpitti could have another political job by the end of this year.That’s if the longtime mayor of Markham decides to take the plunge into federal politics and run for the Liberals in Markham-Thornhill.The riding will be subject to a byelection later this year after long-
time Liberal MP and Cabinet Minister John McCallum announced his resignation to take on the job as Canada’s new ambassador to China.Scarpitti, who McCallum admitted Sunday could have had the Liberal nomination way back in 2000 had he decided he wanted it, was noncommittal on his plans when asked about them on Tuesday."At the moment, I want to stay here in Markham. I love what I
do here," said the 28-year veteran of Markham municipal politics.Scarpitti wouldn’t rule out a run, only saying, "I’m not actively pursuing it. I would never say I would absolutely do nothing. If there’s an opportunity to further the enhancement of this community, those are things I’d like to think about and consider," he said.He said he has a passion for being mayor after having done the job since 2006.

Trustee should resign over racial slur When allegations of racism and discrimination were levelled at the York Region District School Board last year - resulting in the Vaughan African Canadian Association and the National Council of Canadian Muslims filing a joint human rights complaint - it seemed impossible to imagine how things could have gotten worse. And then they did. Shortly after the press conference announcing the complaints, news broke that the YRDSB was investigating allegations a trustee, later revealed to be Nancy Elgie who represents Georgina, had uttered a racial slur, the N-word, in reference to a black parent during a Nov. 22 meeting about equity. With the conclusion of that investigation, Elgie emailed a letter of apology to those involved. In it, Elgie claimed she accepted responsibility for the slur and will attend an equity training session. She described herself as "overcome with shock and dismay" and said she "felt heartsick and deeply ashamed." She further claimed the N-word was not directed at parent Charline Grant but, rather, she was trying to explain Grant’s concerns as reported in the media. Perhaps, but how does one reconcile those sentiments with Elgie’s statements to the Toronto Star Dec. 8 where she said, twice, there was no merit in the accusation? Understandably, Grant isn’t satisfied with the letter and voiced concern about the lack of consequences. More than 1,000 parents have signed an online petition urging Elgie to resign. Newly appointed board chairperson, Loralea Carruthers, said she hears the parents, but noted neither trustees nor staff have the authority to make an elected official step down. Carruthers went on to say the people have their say on a trustee’s conduct at the ballot box, adding the incident wasn’t indicative of who Elgie is. That may be, but the board needs to send a strong message that this kind of conduct won’t be tolerated and request she resign. Perhaps a mechanism to force a trustee to step down could be explored as part of the probe announced by Education Minister Mitzie Hunter Thursday. Finally, we urge Elgie to truly accept responsibility for what occurred and step down voluntarily - without prompting. To do otherwise, runs contrary to the spirit of her apology and runs the risk of tainting any future steps the board takes to address its issues.

More action needed to prevent cold, flu Re: Flu cases rising as virus moves cross-country, Jan. 13. It’s once again cold and flu season across Canada, and viruses are spreading quickly. While flu shots and proper handwashing are important, it appears that more needs to be done by residents and public health agencies.As one of the most diverse municipalities in the country, there is no shortage of Asian restaurants in Markham serving delicious foods. With the use of chopsticks and communal food, this creates the perfect environment for viruses and bacteria to thrive and spread. Often, people carry viruses without knowing it. While
• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • l GET CONNECTED Have a comment on this or any other community issues? Email us at newsroom@yrmg.com most restaurants will provide a pair of communal chopsticks upon request, the best model I found is a dim sum restaurant where two sets of chopsticks are provided to each guest: one for personal use, and one for communal food. This greatly reduces the spread of viruses and bacteria either through fluids from the mouth or through the hands (by sharing communal chopsticks).In other countries, people having flu-like symptoms would voluntarily put on a mask. These measures, along with staying at home while sick, should be seriously considered by all residents and the pub-

Raw milk legal elsewhere, why not here? I have read with interest the two letters supporting the sale of raw milk. I don’t drink raw milk anymore, but went through the Ontario Agricultural College at the University of Guelph, and all the strapping young sons and daughters of farmers I met grew up drinking raw milk. I have been to health food stores
in the United States and have seen raw milk for sale. I understand that Canada is the only G8 country to outlaw it, supposedly because it is dangerous. How is it that other countries know how to regulate a safe and healthy food, yet we are bullied into believing it is dangerous? The issue is good sanitary handling procedures. We can certainly make the sale of raw milk legal and stop harassing farmers and consumers who want to have this product that is natural and safe if handled correctly. Time for our politicians to listen to reason and not the hysteria of the protected diary industry that fears this niche market. Embrace it and make it available for those who may want to buy it.

ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com York Region Transit is making changes to a couple of bus routes running through Vaughan this year. One of those routes is the 22A King City, which provides weekday service between the Newmarket GO bus terminal and York University via Yonge Street, King Road and Keele Street. That route will see an earlier morning trip added to meet increased demand, Adrian Kawun, ?YRT’s
manager of service planning, told Vaughan councillors Tuesday, Jan. 17. The other route slated for change is 23 Thornhill Woods, which provides service between the Finch GO bus terminal and Teston Road during weekday rushhour periods and between Rutherford Road and the Promenade terminal during weekday midday and evening periods. YRT is altering the rushhour route, north of Rutherford Road, to run along Thomas Cook Avenue and
Via Romano Boulevard once the local road network has been completed, Kawun said. The change affects roughly 30 customers along Bathurst Street who will have to walk up to 750 metres farther to catch the bus, according to YRT. YRT is also eliminating service on this route after 10 p.m., which impacts about six customers who will be forced to walk up to one kilometre farther to get on a bus.

10 EDUCATION
Parents applaud ministry review of school board TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com York Region parents are calling it vindication. Education Minister Mitzie Hunter recently announced the launch of an urgent review of the York Region District School Board’s governance and equity processes. Patrick Case and Sue Herbert have been appointed to review and recommend improvements, especially when it comes to equity, accountability and transparency. A final report outlining next steps is to be submitted to Hunter by April 7. "There have been significant and growing concerns from parents and community members regarding governance and equity issues in the YRDSB," Hunter wrote in a statement. "These include allegations of systemic racism, concerns about the board’s equity and inclusive education policies, accountability for spending on trustees’ international travel and deteriorating relationships between the trustees, the director of education and the board’s senior staff." Unsatisfied that the issues
would be addressed following a meeting with the then school board chair Anna DeBartolo and education director Philip Parappally and a submitted action plan proposal, Hunter felt the need to launch the review that will also address rebuilding relationships between the education director, senior staff, trustees and the community. A coalition of community representatives joins the Vaughan African Canadian Association and the National Council of Canadian Muslims in giving the announcement two thumbs up. Last November, the NCCM and VACA filed human rights complaints on behalf of seven York Region families against the school board over the treatment of black students and issues of Islamophobia. Since then, a school board trustee issued an apology letter following a racial slur uttered to describe Woodbridge parent Charline Grant, who was one of the first parents to file a human rights complaint against the school board. "This has been a long and difficult journey for us, and our family is hoping that there will fi-
nally be some accountability for how our son was treated," Grant said. "Our struggle has always been about ensuring that all students, no matter what their backgrounds or heritage, are treated with fairness and dignity. We welcome this review wholeheartedly." Some parents at a Jan. 27 news conference shed tears as they stood outside Thornhill’s Stornoway Crescent Public School in Markham and relayed stories of the suffering and isolation their children experienced as they encountered racism from students and staff within the school board. The experiences included a boy being handed a Ku Klux Klan hat by another student and another student being beaten by a peer. On both accounts, the parents felt their complaints were swept under the rug and sufficient consequences were not doled out to the offenders. "We look forward to the findings of the review," YRDSBKids group’s Naeem Siddiqi said. "We hope they will provide the ministry with the necessary information to institute real and mean-

ingful change for all York students and their families." YRDSBKids, a group of York Region parents who have come together to encourage the school board to increase its transparency and accountability, also questioned school board expenditures when trustees expensed not one but two trips to Finland. Former associate education director Avis Glaze remembers a time when YRDSB was held up as a beacon of education in Ontario. "York Region has been one of the best boards in the province, people acknowledge that," she said. She, along with former education director Bill Hogarth, worked hard to focus on student achievement, employee professional development, student leadership and parental engagement. Professionally, it was the place to be and job candidates flocked to the school board that was considered a trailblazer in the province. "There’s no doubt that the spotlight is there and I’m just hoping for the best in terms of a quick resolution to all those issues that I’ve been reading about
in the papers," she said. "I really want to see the board get back to the focus on student learning and achievement." She is anxious to see what the review report will conclude and the recommendations the reviewers will make. Parappally issued a statement welcoming the opportunity to work with the reviewers. "This review will foster a common understanding of how we need to move forward with our community, the board and staff members alike," he added. "I want to assure you that we take these issues very seriously, and will not shy away from the difficult conversations and the important work that lies ahead to address these concerns." In the same statement, Parappally said he would continue to update the community as information becomes available throughout the review process. He also acknowledged the board’s long-standing reputation for excellence and the good work that continues to take place in the schools and workplaces to advance student achievement and well-being.

COUNCIL

ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com Vaughan’s political boundaries won’t be redrawn for the 2018 municipal election. Council has opted not to implement the recommendations of a team of consultants to alter the boundaries of the city’s five wards. Among the most significant proposed changes was moving the Nashville community, located west of
Hwy. 27 and north of Major Mackenzie Drive, to Ward 2 (Woodbridge West) from Ward 1 (Maple/Kleinburg). The other major proposed change was shifting the northern boundary of Ward 4 (Concord/Thornhill North) from Teston Road up to Kirby Road to absorb a block of primarily estate subdivisions between Keele Street and Dufferin Street from Ward 1. Other proposed adjustments included relocating
a small pocket west of Pine Valley Drive, near Teston Road, to Ward 1 from Ward 3 (Woodbridge East) and shifting the border between Ward 4 and Ward 5 (Thornhill). Those adjustments, according to the consultants, create more equitable population distributions between wards - necessary for effective representation that would last until the 2026 election and "probably" until 2030.
But the proposal to remove blocks from Ward 1 didn’t sit well local ratepayers’ groups representing those areas. Maple/Kleinburg Councillor Marilyn Iafrate told the consultants she didn’t support the recommended changes, in part, due to the position of those groups, but also because the population numbers they used don’t seem to reflect where development is actually occurring.
Iafrate wasn’t the only councillor opposed to making changes. "I’m really upset that we did this (review) in the first place," Woodbridge East Councillor Rosanna DeFrancesca said. "The fact that the study shows there is very little boundary change physically with the projected numbers tells me we did this prematurely." The consultants told councillors failing to act will throw voter parity be-
tween wards "quite out of whack" by 2022. But councillors voted, at the June 17 committee of the whole meeting, to simply receive the consultants’ report and not implement its recommendations. They stuck by that position at the Jan. 24 council meeting. The current ward boundaries were created by an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) decision before the 2010 election.

How to create a cosy finished basement A warm, comfortable finished basement is a great feature that adds value to your home. But too few owners realize that finishing a basement the wrong way can bring mould, mildew and lower indoor air quality. Building a healthy finished basement comes down to these five elements:
ONLY FINISH A RELIABLY
tion is best at reducing mould risk in basements. Avoid putting wood in contact with concrete.
INSTALL A SUBFLOOR Proper basement subfloors make finished floors warmer and reduce the chance that humid summertime air will condense against cool concrete. Choose inorganic subfloor products to put against the basement floor.
DRY BASEMENT Even a small amount of leaked water can trigger mould, mustiness and poor indoor air quality. That’s why your basement needs to prove itself reliably dry before you invest time and money into finishing. Monitor the space and make sure it’s dry for at least a year.
USE MOISTURE-RESISTANT
INSTALL A PROPER HEATING SYSTEM Just because you have a furnace in your basement doesn’t mean it will automatically heat the space. You need sufficient ducts to deliver heat to all areas as well as cold air return ducts at floor level to promote air circulation.
SPRAY FOAM THE
INORGANIC MATERIALS Even a dry basement might get unexpectedly damp. So use inorganic materials that won’t feed mould even in the presence of moisture. Foam-based insula-
RIM JOISTS Although it’s common to insulate the area where joists meet outside walls using fibre-based insulation and a vapour barrier,
Thornhill Office 8000 Yonge Street 905.889.9330
Vivian Risi Broker of Record
it’s difficult to get a proper air seal around all those joists. The resulting air leakage is why many homes have some kind of mould in the rim joist area. Spray foam
eliminates this problem because it’s self-sealing when applied at least three inches thick. You’ll need a professional installer to do this work.
If you’re planning to hire a contractor, make sure they’re experienced, knowledgeable and professional. The Canadian Home Builder’s Association is a great
source of free advice for hiring a pro and avoiding suspicious contractors. Find more information at www.getitinwriting.ca.

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT NOTICE NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF DETAIL DESIGN AND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REPORT SUBMISSION New Commuter Carpool Lot at Highway 404 and Major Mackenzie Drive Interchange Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment, G.W.P. 2227-09-00 THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) retained AECOM to undertake a Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for a new Commuter Carpool Lot (CCL) at the Highway 404 and Major Mackenzie Drive Interchange in the Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York. The approved design of the CCL includes the construction of 250 parking spaces, including 10 designated accessible parking spaces, 5 bus bays, a York Region Transit/Viva shelter, a GO Transit Shelter, bike shelter, illumination, landscaping, storm water management and provisions for future electric vehicle charging stations. The transit shelters will include variable message signs, display boards and ticket vending machines. New traffic signals will be compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). In addition, realignment of the Westboundto-Southbound on-ramp in the SW quadrant of the interchange, as well as localized widening of Major Mackenzie Drive will provide access to the CCL. To facilitate the work, the Project Team has worked closely with local municipalities and transit providers. THE PROCESS This project builds upon the recently completed Highway 404 Class Environmental Assessment and Preliminary Design Study from the 407 Express Toll Route (ETR) to Green Lane Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) which received environmental clearance on July 18, 2016. This project has followed the approved planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the MTO’s Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). A Design and Construction Report (DCR) has been prepared to document the Class EA process, the recommended plan for improvements, construction staging, traffic management measures, and the consultation undertaken. The DCR is being made available, for information purposes, for a 30-day review period commencing Thursday, February 2, 2017 until Monday, March 6, 2017. The DCR may be viewed at the following locations: Ontario Ministry of Transportation Central Region 159 Sir William Hearst Avenue Toronto, ON M3M 0B7 Monday to Friday: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Communities offer condolences after attack l Continued from page 1
munity backing us," he said. Jahan Zeb, a member of the mosque, said Kathy L’s note had special meaning. "It was good to feel that, especially with what’s going on. Those were good words," the 19-year-old York University student said, adding he has also been saddened by U.S. President Donald Trump’s travel ban of citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries. An outpouring of shock at the mass shooting and support for the Muslim community has been expressed across York Region this week. An evening vigil was held Feb. 1 at the Markham Civic Centre. "The City of Markham, the Islamic Society of Markham and members of the community will stand in solidarity to promote harmony amidst this painful tragedy," a statement promoting the event said. "Sunday’s events in Québec are a reminder that we need to continue to engage and foster a greater understanding of inclusivity and celebrate diversity within our communities."’ Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow expressed sympathies for the victims and their loved ones at Monday night’s council meeting. "We have a large Muslim community in Richmond Hill and certainly our prayers are with them, but also with humanity, with people who lose their lives and those who have to suffer that loss as members of families," he said. Aurora councillors marked a moment of silence at their council meeting Jan. 31 and Mayor Geoff Dawe is sending a letter of condolences. Meanwhile, security has been stepped up at a mosque in Vaughan in the wake of the shooting. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of York Region, which has a large mosque on Jane Street in Vaughan that counts thousands of members, has rallied volunteer youth and reached out to York Regional Police to make sure no attacks happen there. "We’re shocked and horrified at this attack," said Safwan Choudhry, spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jammat. "We’re heightening security at all of our prayer centres from Newfoundland to British Columbia to make sure all of the members of our community feel safe. "We collaborate closely with the authorities. However, this one (attack) even shocked them and us. It points to how things can get very volatile, very quickly." The Ahmadiyya community did not have "any immediate threats we are aware of", Choudhry said. The Islamic Shia Ithna-Jamaat of Toronto, which operates the Jaffari Centre at 9000 Bathurst St. in Thornhill released a statement saying it "grieves for the devastating loss of life in an attack on a mosque in Quebec City. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims and those injured in the attack. "As proud Canadian Muslims, we strongly condemn any act of violence and believe that our strength as a nation will always come from our diversity, never our division. We commend the Canadian authorities on their swift action in apprehending the suspect." Any place of worship is a focus for police patrols, said Const. Andy Pattenden.
