SPECIAL RETIREES' HEARING AID! A remarkable new hearing aid is now available and getting rave reviews from retirees! It is easy to use, looks great in the ear, and marks a MAJOR advancement in hearing technology!

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available. The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments. Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear. Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make– even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing. Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to

reduce the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-ofthe-line hearing aids. Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings. A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Now providing FREE, no obligation hearing tests!

GAME CHANGERS

KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Gone are the days of hailing a taxi, phoning in a hotel reservation, lining up for movie tickets and using cash for purchases in a boutique store. Now you can do it all with the touch of a screen thanks to innovations like Uber, Airbnb, Amazon or Netflix - to name a few. Call them the game changers; they’re shaking up society, altering our lives at an exponential rate. "We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another," predicts professor Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum. "The transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before." Digital technology has already fuelled dramatic changes. Now, Schwab says, the "fourth industrial revolution" is on its way, shaped by a fresh new wave of innovation. Here’s a look at how these disrupters could impact our everyday life.

How we shop Marc Saltzman’s wife, Kellie, dropped him and his son off at Canada’s Wonderland recently. By the time he realized he’d forgotten his wallet, she was gone. It could have been a disappointing day, but Saltzman, a technology expert and author, had a smartwatch. He paid for the day with a tap of his wrist. Mobile payment is just one way game changers are transforming our lives. Soon, Saltzman says, we

could: • order a product, have it drone-delivered to our door, ID verified by photo and a receipt sent via email. • order plans for a product and create it in our own home with a 3D printer. • don a virtual reality headset or sensor gloves to browse stores and try on clothes at home; or walk through a mall with augmented glasses that overlay digital info about the product and whether it’s cheaper somewhere else.

How we spend our leisure time The travel business has been upended with the influx of online booking sites and rating services like TripAdvisor. Now the sharing economy including Airbnb, VRBO - is chipping away further, leading to disputes over municipal bylaws and local neighbourhoods engulfed by transients and tourists. At the same time, allyou-can eat, buffet-style services are disrupting the en-

tertainment world with services like Spotify and Google Music, ebooks and video-game streaming. Next, Saltzman predicts, cars with data plans will link you to the strongest nearby tower, streaming content via an antenna atop your car.

How we get around Speaking of cars, do you really need one anymore? Uber - connecting drivers and riders - and Zipcars renting cars by the mile or minute - allow us to travel a la carte. And if you do own a car, you may not need someone behind the wheel in a few years. This leads to new possibilities, says Saltzman. "We can make money with our car while we’re not using it - letting it drive other people around. Things are going to get pretty exciting." But not everyone’s excited. The trucking industry is one of many traditional industries sounding alarms over upheaval and job loss.

MORE COVERAGE: Death of child spurs drive for drone technology See page 12 Where we work A fleet of autonomous trucks, driving across Europe last April, gave a hint of what’s ahead. Andrew McAfee, co-founder of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy, warns that trucking could be one of many industries where traditional middle-class jobs are at risk. In its report Age of Disruption, Deloitte Canada warns the majority of Canadian businesses are not prepared for looming rapid advances in key technologies and will not survive. Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship reports that nearly 42 per cent of the tasks Canadians are currently paid to do can be automated using existing technology. But some, like Newmarket business owner Attila Vinczer, are optimistic about our ability to adapt. Repetitive assembly jobs in his tool-and-die plants are moving toward automation, but he still views himself as a job creator.

"I still hire, but the jobs are different and require different skills like computer expertise and ability to maintain the machines, work websites and social media." No one aims for a hollowed-out plant that runs itself, he adds. "There’s a responsibility among business owners to ensure the workforce is prepared and adaptable, because if no one’s able to make a living in this brave new world, if everything’s automated, who will buy the products?"

How we adapt How does one cope, then, in a world where everything is changing? Experts say the "soft skills" will be essential, but Steve Joordens, psychology professor at the University of Toronto, warns those are the skills we are most in danger of losing, as we isolate in our silos of convenience, plugged into smartphones, live-streaming individual movie choices, interacting in superficial ways on social media, no longer chatting with cashiers or strangers in bank-teller queues. Kids, especially, aren’t learning skills like small talk and conversational

INNOVATION IS DISRUPTING OUR WORLD

turn-taking, he says. Older generations may worry about how they’ll keep up, while younger ones struggle with expectations. Professors lament that students expect them to be available 24-7; employers say young new hires expect to be promoted to management in two years because that’s how quickly the rest of the world works. From smarthomes to smartphones, we are eager to trade off privacy and security in exchange for convenience - but is that really so smart? Joordens suggests we should prepare ourselves for this fast-changing world by forcing ourselves to slow down and carving out regular digital-free times for "mindfulness." Sheila Embleton, a professor and former provost at York University, agrees. "Those things that have always stood people in good stead will continue to: critical thinking, being adaptable to change, able to have good relationships. "One can decry the loss of the old world, but we’re all having to adapt. When we link the best of the old with the new, we will end up with something that’s altogether better."

NEWS

TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com It takes a lot of pushing, arm-twisting and effort, but some day, some way, a subway extension up Yonge Street north to Richmond Hill Centre from Finch Station just might get built. According to Thornhill councillors Alan Shefman of Vaughan and Valerie Burke of Markham, that day is a little bit closer today. The pair, who form lobby group York North Subway Group with longtime colleague Godwin Chan of Ward 6 (Richmond Hill), say with $55 million from the province and $36.3 million committed from the feds for design and engineering studies for the transit extension, along with a

partnership from Metrolinx, the TTC, the City of Toronto and York Region, movement on the extension is real. "The Yonge Street North Extension is tied to the City of Toronto Relief line project," Shefman said. He added it will take about 18 to 24 months to complete the design and engineering studies. "Our goal must be to secure the next funding within a year," he said. Burke indicated "we just want to continue the process," after the environmental assessment had been approved. "It’s really good news that we’re finally working together," she said of the news that York Region is involved with Metrolinx the City of Toronto and TTC.

Integrity commissioner will also oversee registry TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com

Local councillors are saying we’re a little bit closer to getting the York Street North Subway extension after Metrolinx, the TTC, City of Toronto and York Region have partnered and funding has been secured for design and engineering studies.

She has served as Vaughan’s integrity commissioner since 2009 and now Suzanne Craig takes on an additional role as the city’s first lobbyist registrar. Craig, who recently wrote an explosive 28-page report detailing sexual harassment complaints against former Vaughan deputy mayor Michael Di Biase, which directly led to the latter’s resignation, will take up the part-time position of lobbyist registrar in January 2018 when the registry becomes mandatory in the city. In her expanded role, Craig will administer the lobbyist registration system, provide advice, opinions and interpretations regarding the lobbyist registry, con-

priorities at the City of Vaughan and she has been a tremendous asset by serving as our integrity commissioner for many years. A strong transparency framework contributes to our commitment to advancing excellence in governance. I championed the creation of a lobbyist registry because I believe in an open government - giving the public access to information about who is communicating with public office holders. I know Ms Craig will continue to bring commitment and dedication to the city and serve our community well. I look forward to working with her in the years to come as she takes on this new expanded role," Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua said. Craig was paid $103,008.90 by the City of Vaughan in 2016, according to Ministry of Finance salary disclosure.

ABOUT US

We must learn to adapt to game-changers It’s long been said the only constant is change. All one needs to do is examine the pace at which new technologies are altering our daily lives to recognize that the age-old phrase is truer now, perhaps, than it has ever been. Consider that in a relatively brief span of time, hailing a taxi, booking a hotel reservation over the phone, and renting a movie at the video store have all become things of the past. Instead, more and more people get a lift via Uber, secure a place to stay through any number of hotel booking websites or Airbnb, and rely on internetbased video streaming services, such as Netflix, to watch films or catch up with their favourite television shows. If you think those innovations are something, buckle up, because many more are on the way. These socalled game-changers are heralds of what professor Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum, calls "the fourth Industrial Revolution". What will the next wave of innovations look like? Well, experts envision being able to receive your online purchases via drone delivery, having the power to buy plans for an item and 3D-printing it at home, and even visiting a store from the comfort of your home thanks to virtual reality. You can also expect the "sharing economy" to not only persevere, but increase in the future. As much as many of those developments sound exciting, they, and others, possess the potential to cause substantial disruptions for existing industries. For example, the trend toward increased automation will directly impact many of us, with the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship estimating nearly 42 per cent of the tasks Canadians are currently paid to do could be at risk of being replaced by technology. As with any seismic shift, one can view what’s coming as a crisis or an opportunity. And, while it won’t always be easy, it’s likely best to take the latter view as resisting change of this magnitude is most likely futile anyway. "One can decry the loss of the old world, but we’re all having to adapt," professor and former provost at York University Sheila Embleton says. "When we link the best of the old with the new, we will end up with something that’s altogether better." She’s right. We can’t always control what changes and challenges will be thrown at us, but we can control how we react. Like the dinosaurs, our choices will essentially boil down to evolve or else.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • No place in the world better than Canada What do I love most about Canada? I’ve been travelling for close to a year and I get this question a lot. So, since it’s Canada’s 150th birthday, I’ve decided to give it an answer. What I love most about Canada — we’re not just one. Not one culture or one religion. Not one language or one education system. Not one season, one climate or one sport. Not one political party or one government system. Not one type of family or one type of marriage. Not one type of industry or one type of economy. Not just provinces but territories too. Not just rock but fertile fields and forests. Not just land but sur-

rounded by sea. We cannot be defined by one. We are about choice. We can chose who to be, what to be, where to be, and if we want to be. We can chose to believe or not, to support or not, to speak out or not, and to demonstrate or not. We are a product of not one. Not one background, one place, one lifestyle, one heritage, or one story. Yes, we are multicultural, but it is so much more than that. We are constantly in flux — reinventing ourselves, refining ourselves, re-educating ourselves and renewing ourselves. We support, defend and assist those in need. Yes, we say sorry a lot, but that’s because we are a nation of empathetic people, aware of our diversity and celebrating not just what makes us different,

A good deed on Canada Day On my way home from the Canada Day classic car show on Main Street in Stouffville, I stopped at No Frills for a few groceries. Being a senior, I only needed a few. I lay my wallet on the seat of the bicycle and separated a few grocery bags from my bicycle and then

went into the store. A few minutes later, I was in line at the checkout and I reached for my wallet. It was not there. Oh no, I had left it on the bicycle seat. I left my groceries and rushed out to find it was not on my bicycle seat either. It was indeed gone. As I returned to the store to explain, two new Stouffville residents were standing there checking people’s faces. They had found the wallet and found a photo ID in it, and were looking for the face - my face. I am so grateful for what they did. Because of my travels when I was younger I thought I should say thank you to them in Hindi. Which they understood. Lorne Grove Stouffville

TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com Hospice Vaughan, which is committed to opening a 10-bed residential hospice facility in 2019, now has the land it’s been looking for to open that facility. The charity organization has signed a lease agreement with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) for use of about 1.1 hectares (2.8 acres) of their land on Islington Avenue, north of Rutherford Road in Vaughan. The new facility, expected to open in about two years’ time, will include 10 beds that will serve more than 200 people annually, which Hospice Vaughan said amounts to about a quarter of those who now die in Vaughan annually. It will also be able to support enhanced hospice day programs, visiting hospice services, family

COMMUNITY

TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com He loves to tell everyone who will listen that Vaughan is home to more than 325,000 people who speak over 99 languages. But, according to 2011 official census data, it seems Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua may actually be understating that number - at least the number of languages, that is. When you factor in every language - including American Sign Language - indicated on the census for Vaughan, the total in 2011 for the city was a whopping 115 languages. And, coming up in August, we’ll have an even clearer picture of just how many languages are spoken in Vaughan. That’s when the latest Census Canada data comes out with a precise breakdown of how many languages are spoken in the city and who speaks

Death of child spurs drive for drone technology LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com In an emotional encounter a couple of years ago, the chief of a remote First Nations community told Tony Di Benedetto about the death of a child. Suffering from a respiratory illness, the youngster needed an inhaler, but there wasn’t one available in the village. "For them to get a puffer there just-in-time was thousands of dollars to charter a plane or helicopter or whatever they needed to do," Di Benedetto said. The community had to wait until the next plane of supplies arrived several days later. Unfortunately, by that time, the child had died. Di Benedetto’s Vaughanbased company, Drone Delivery Canada, is working to make sure that never happens again. Launched in 2014, the drone technology logistics company is working with governments and indigenous peoples to introduce drones capable of getting medicine, groceries and other items to Canada’s isolated communities.

Steve Somerville/Metroland

Tony Di Benedetto is the CEO of Drone Delivery Canada Inc. Drone Delivery is a pioneering technology firm based out of Vaughan with a focus on designing, developing and implementing a commercially viable drone delivery system within the Canadian geography. "We said wouldn’t it be great if we can utilize this technology to bridge this gap that exists. People

keep talking until they’re blue in the face that they’re going to build roads and infrastructure

for these communities. The reality is, where are they going to get the money and how long is this

going to take?" Di Benedetto said. "But there’s a real problem today. Food, for example, in these communities is incredibly expensive ... We said we can utilize drones to provide just-in-time access to goods and supplies." Not only will drones reduce transportation costs, but the operation will create jobs in remote communities, Di Benedetto said. While others in the industry appear to be more focused on futuristic applications for drones, Drone Delivery Canada’s aim in northern Canada is more humanitarian, although it is also exploring profitable ideas with private companies. "We believe this is the right place to start with this technology because not only is it innovative, is it unique and maybe one day it will deliver a pizza to your front door, maybe," Di Benedetto said. "But there is a real life application here for Canada’s north, where you can consider it humanitarian in what it’s doing. It’s a great place to start and it’s the right type of geography. We’re the leaders in this."

Choose natural gas for grilling this summer Looking for a way to enhance your warm weather cook-outs? A natural gas barbecue is a smart choice for outdoor grilling and cooking. Safe and easy to use, they heat up quickly, allowing you to be ready to grill within minutes. Since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hooked up through your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural gas connection, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never have to worry about running out of propane or charcoal, or refilling a tank. These grills often feature multiple burners with individual controls, allowing you to cook different foods at the same time. This is perfect if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooking for a large, hungry group. Plus, the direct and consistent heat of a natural gas barbecue means even cooking, without any hot spots. The initial cost of a natural gas barbecue is slightly higher than a propane one, but because you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to refill your tank as you would with propane, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save time and money in the long run. Natural gas is also less expensive than propane. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to factor in

the one-time charge of having a gas line installed for your barbecue, which should only be done by a registered heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) contractor. When shopping, look for a natural gas barbecue that has some of the following features: t "U MFBTU TRVBSF JODIFT PG HSJMMJOH space, especially if you like to cook different foods at the same time and for a group of people. t "O FMFDUSPOJD JHOJUJPO TZTUFN GPS FBTZ lighting. t " GBU ESBJOBHF TZTUFN UP IFMQ QSFWFOU flare-ups. t " UXP CVSOFS TZTUFN XIJDI IBT CFUUFS heat control. t 0UIFS BEEFE GFBUVSFT UIBU DBO HJWF ZPVS food that added flair, like warming racks, a food prep area, ceramic rear burners, kabob cookers or rotisseries.
