CHRIS SIMON chris.simon@simcoe.com TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Two professionals plus three children equals one unaffordable daycare bill. Liam and Jena Murphy already had their hands full and pocketbooks emptied trying to pay for daycare for their now sixyear-old son Ethan. Then life happened, and twin boys came along. Isaac and Oliver entered the world about two years ago. Once Jena’s maternity leave ended, the family had to make some major life adjustments. Both Liam and Jena had careers - he worked as a nurse and she is employed in an office - but he was, coincidentally, laid off and, when they ran the numbers, it didn’t make sense to seek another full-time job. So for now, Liam stays home with the kids and hopes to pick up part-time work in the fall. "When I pictured my life, I pictured working the job I trained l See ONTARIO’S page 10

Notice of Completion Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Transit Project Assessment Process The Project Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion. Metrolinx intends to proceed with the project in accordance with the EPR. Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is upgrading its commuter rail system into Regional Express Rail. The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is now home to nearly 7 million people and heading towards 10 million by 2041. To address the urgent transit needs of the GTHA, the Province of Ontario committed to implement Regional Express Rail and make other improvements to the GO system. By 2025, electrified trains will be running every 15 minutes or better, all day and in both directions, within the most heavily travelled sections of the GO network. To support this service increase, Metrolinx is undertaking the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion (BRCE) Project which includes the following: • Provision of a second track between Lansdowne Avenue in the City of Toronto to Allandale Waterfront GO Station in the City of Barrie; • Upgrades to existing GO Stations along the corridor: Rutherford, Maple, King City, Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Bradford, Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront; and • A new train layover facility within the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury for overnight storage of trains. 30-day Public Review Period Begins August 9 The environmental effects of this transit project were assessed and an EPR prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. The EPR for the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion is now available at metrolinx.com/RERBarrie and the following locations for a 30-day public review period starting August 9, 2017 and ending September 7, 2017.

Breaking down doors Firefighting camp heats up career choice for girls TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com

Vaughan Fire Service photo
From top: The Vaughan Female Firefighter Camp participants Rebekah Newman (from left), Gabriella Rizzi, Emma McKenzie and Sophia Galluci joined instructor Captain Lisa Reid for a well-earned break; Emily Galipo, 18, of Vaughan, uses a saw to cut through a door during a drill at the camp in Vaughan; and Marissa Moscovitch, 17, of Richmond Hill, climbs the aerial ladder during training.
"It’s not something you see a lot of girls do and I had a lot of fun doing that," she said. Doing the camp, "is another thing I
can add to my bucket list. The leaders were all amazing people, amazing role models." Victoria Myddelton, who has
been with the Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service for the past two years, was one of the camp’s instructors and said she was impressed with all 16 campers. "They did amazing. The weather was extremely hot, but we didn’t hear a complaint all week and it was a real pleasure to instruct them," Myddelton said. The 27-year-old instructor is a competitor in the Scott FireFit Combat Challenge, who, with partner Billy Carlisle set a world record last year. And she is competing again this year. With 10 per cent of its firefighters female the Vaughan
Fire and Rescue Service is well above the national average of three per cent, but with the Female Firefighting Camp, is intent on showing the next generation the way. "It was exciting for them. They were really enthusiastic and it was just really great to see young females excited about firefighting and what it has to offer them as a career possibility," Myddelton said. One of those youngsters, Sophia Golluci, 16, of Vaughan, said she "really liked the camp. "My whole life, I’ve really liked physical jobs, I’ve been really athletic. It was nice to experience how the gear felt."

or a week, 16 teenage girls trained in red-hot conditions, broke down doors, saved lives and they’re burning with desire to do it all again. Emily Galipo, 18, of Vaughan, figures it’s just fiveand-a-half years until she has the chance to join the Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service. The York University student loved last week’s Female Firefighting Camp so much, she can’t wait to come back next year. "Helping people and providing a service is a huge adrenalin rush," said Galipo who plays competitive hockey and soccer. She said she loves the teamwork and trust firefighting engenders. After her four years at York, she wants to take the firefighting course at Seneca College and apply to Vaughan Fire and Rescue. "The firefighters who volunteered their time were a huge inspiration to me, they’re definitely role models to me; some things they said just changed my life for the good," Galipo said. She and her 15 fellow campers took part in the firstever all female camp at the Vaughan Joint Operations Centre at 2800 Rutherford Rd. from July 17-21. There, under the watchful eye of instructors they worked from 9-4 each day (with a onehour lunch break) learning CPR and First Aid, hose line operations, fire ground operations, ground and aerial ladders, leadership and teambuilding, rope rescue, the Jaws of Life, search-and-rescue techniques and how to use personal protective equipment. Marissa Moscovitch, 17, of Richmond Hill, said she’s going into a firefighting career and admitted using power tools was her favourite part of the camp.

ABOUT US
Entrepreneurial skills vital for young people The world young people have grown up into over the past decade or so bears little resemblance to the one the generations immediately preceding it inherited. Rather than graduating from high school or a postsecondary education program and smoothly transitioning into a career that would see them from first-day jitters through to gold watch at retirement, the job market today is marked by fierce competition and seismic changes. Uncertainty, it seems, is the new certainty. And while the employment landscape may never have been quite as straightforward or simple as the second paragraph suggests -perhaps only when viewed through the rose-tinted lenses of nostalgia - the fact remains that charting a career path in today’s job market is an increasingly daunting task. And with many traditional sectors already experiencing disruption from new technologies (bricks-and-mortar retail stores and taxi operations among them) and several others poised for a major shake-up from innovations such as automation (the trucking industry being but one example) navigating a career path will only become more challenging. In fact, nearly 42 per cent of the jobs for which Canadians are currently being paid could be automated using only the technology we have today, according to the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship. As such, it’s good to see that there are programs such as the new Youth by Design course offered by the York Region District School Board and York University’s Innovation York, out of its new YSpace innovation centre in Markham, that are encouraging high school students to embrace the spirit of entrepreneurship and "follow their passion." The program allows students to research their ideas and learn about subjects such as business leadership, intellectual property and patent law, while earning school credit at the same time. The teens involved in the Youth by Design course are working on some impressive projects to be sure. Markham’s Natalie Shafik, for example, is creating an app to help students access recipes based on the ingredients they have available, while Bur Oak student Yu Mao is making an app to help keep people connected with their friends and family living abroad. These are great examples of young people turning challenges into opportunities and that kind of can-do spirit will serve them regardless of what the future of work holds. The Youth by Design course and other programs like it, such as Summer Company and the resources offered through the York Small Business Enterprise Centre, should be promoted and made readily available to youth. Jobs and. indeed, entire employment sectors may come and go but entrepreneurial skills are irreplaceable.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Tree protection bylaws should be applied fairly
some of these beautiful trees. Alfred Tsang Markham
Sometime ago, a Markham resident was taken to court by city authorities for cutting down two or three mature trees on her property. She was expected to be fined for thousands of dollars for doing so. Now, we have a developer who is building a condo complex on Old Kennedy Road. There can be no doubt that dozens of mature trees will be sacrificed for the project. I am wondering what action, if any, has the City of Markham taken to protect some, if not all, of the mature trees on this track of land? It would seem rather hypocritical if the city applies the law differently should there have been no action taken to protect at least
Power reports don’t boost conservation Power Stream Hydro efforts in producing the periodic Power Stream Power Report, which ranks my hydro usage against a selection of similar residences, in addition to costing money to produce, has other consequences: One, it makes me feel less caring when I have in fact done many things to help address usage. Two, the report apparently ignores lifestyle differences in the neighbour comparison. Three, it makes me wonder how committed the provincial government is to reducing rates that have in-

creased dramatically over the last number of years, this from recent news reports. When the effort seems to try to make hydro usage my fault, it seems like obfuscation of the real problem of rates. We are seniors, living in a small house, with limited capacity to update and renew everything, but we have made basic accommodations: Almost all the lights in the house are CFLs or LEDs, and attic insulation has been improved. Our older working air conditioner is connected to the Peaksaver system which allows hydro to switch it off. A powered attic fan is installed to reduce heat buildup and improve cooling performance. We need day comfort at 25.5 Celsius and a running furnace fan to distribute cool air. We cook on our
schedule and some of our entertainment is home based with TV, movies, computers, etc. also using power. Dehumidifier, dishwasher and laundry pair also run occasionally. We also have a pool, active for about two months of the year, with timed pump hours for two-thirds of the day and using solar heat. So, to the hydro executives that thought they could shame me and others into further conservation, I say not likely. Your efforts could be much better spent in contracting for much cheaper power imports, say from Quebec, or by better handling infrastructure decisions with your provincial partners, like cancelling half-built facilities or retaining ownership of other parts of the infrastructure.

CONTINUING POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR PROPERTY WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
The Wills Lawyer
The law concerning the continuing power of attorney for property is complicated. In order to make it easier for you to understand the complexities in this area of the law, I would like to highlight the following points: The word “attorney” in a continuing power of attorney for property does not mean that you have to appoint your lawyer. You can appoint a trusted family member or friend. Your will and your continuing power of attorney for property are separate and Michelle Kotzer distinct documents. One does not replace the other, but you are certainly allowed to appoint the same person to represent you in both your will and your continuing power of attorney for property. Your will only takes effect after your death, and your continuing power of attorney for property is only effective during your life and terminates at your death.
Un-beelievable Savings!

TRIPLE GLASS UPGRADE ON WINDOWS *
A power of attorney that you may have signed at the bank for banking purposes is not the same as the continuing power of attorney for property. The bank power of attorney would not be effective with respect to your home, condo or any other real estate in your name, and in all likelihood, the bank power of attorney would not be effective with respect to any other assets which you own, to the extent that those assets are kept outside of the particular bank. A situation may arise where you want to revoke your continuing power of attorney for property, and of course, you can always do this as long as you have the mental capacity. Once you lose that capacity, it will be too late to revoke your continuing power of attorney for property. This subject is not only for seniors. Remember that even if you are in your twenties and in excellent health, you run the risk that you may unexpectedly lose your mental capacity because of a motor vehicle accident or sports accident. You cannot make a valid continuing power of attorney, if you are under the age of majority.

The word “property” in the phrase continuing power of attorney for property should not be taken to mean real estate alone. Property is a word that can describe any asset such as an automobile, stock or bond. I cannot over emphasize how important it is to appoint someone whom you completely trust to represent you in a continuing power of attorney for property. If you do not trust the person, do not appoint him or her.

Police are investigating what they are calling a "suspicious" fire in Woodbridge’s Weston Downs neighbourhood that occurred early Friday morning. York Regional Police and Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service were called to 200 Valeria Boulevard, off Weston Road south of Rutherford Road, just before 2 a.m. Friday, Aug. 11.
Neighbours had spotted smoke coming from the rear of the house, police said. Firefighters were able to quickly douse the fire. There was nobody home at the time. "At this time we do consider the fire suspicious," said Const. Andy Pattenden of York Regional Police. The Fire Marshal is investigating to determine the cause of the fire. Maria, a next-door neighbour who declined to giver
her last name, said she was "scared." Speaking Friday morning outside the home, which had two York Regional Police cruisers out in front guarding the scene, she added the aging couple who lives at 200 Valeria have been away for a number of months. Reports are that they are currently in Italy. Another woman who drove by the scene and wondered what was going on, expressed concern.

10 EDUCATION
Ontario’s daycare system needs more than funding l Continued from front
for and am passionate about," Liam said, sitting in the family’s living room as Ethan flipped through Pokemon trading cards nearby. "There’s a feeling of being held back in my career just because of daycare. How are we, as two people who have post-secondary education (and) good careers, struggling to make daycare payments? We’re paying into the system, why can’t it turn around and help us? Financially, it’s not even a conversation. We want to work." Finding the perfect fit when it comes to cost, location and programming is challenging for today’s parents. Experts attribute that to a system that fails to deliver. Ontario’s child care model is so far behind, according to Professor Yvonne Bohr of La Marsh Centre for Child and Youth Research at York University. With the mountains of research data showing the importance of providing quality care for children from 0 to 4 years of age, it leaves her wondering why the government waited until this year to take steps toward a universal child care model. "What we have is not in line with what we know," she added. "Those early years are just as important as Kindergarten so daycare should be an extension of the school system, absolutely." The current child-care model isn’t working because it’s not affordable for all families, low wages make it difficult to attract and retain professional child care employees, and the sector lacks regulation. Cognitive and emotional learning go hand-in-hand in the early years, meaning stable social interactions with a trusted adult encourage learning and professionally trained staff can help guide and prepare children for the school years.
Justin Greaves/Metroland
Alejandra Tejada and her four-year-old son Brayden stand outside the Learning Enrichment Foundation where Brayden attends daycare. But some children miss out on the nurturing of that early development because there isn’t available, affordable space at licensed daycares. If quality of care isn’t defined or regulated or professional development isn’t offered to staff to keep up with current best practices, children head into school on an uneven playing field. "There is actual evidence and economic research that shows child care is worth the invest-
ment," Bohr said. "Children who are professionally cared for in the early years have better mental health, lower incarceration rates, require less poverty support and contribute more to the economy." In June, Ontario Child Care Minister Indira Naidoo-Harris unveiled a seven pillar plan including 100,000 more licensed child-care spaces, subsidy funds and no parent paying more than 20 per cent of their income on care. The plan would also offer
20,000 more early childhood educators, plus wage increases and professional development opportunities, defining of quality child care, inclusion plan, annual tracking of system performance and public education on available child-care options. But experts say it’s not enough and that the five-year plan could potentially be abolished should the Liberal government not be reelected next year. The daycare sector is current-
ly facing a recruitment and retention crisis, according to Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario’s Lyndsay Macdonald. The child-care sector has become one that is difficult to afford to remain working in. "Many of these early childhood educators go to work and can’t afford child care for their own children," she added, pointing out that the AECEO’s current campaign is advocating for fair wages. The median pay for Ontario ECEs is $17.20 per hour but 24 per cent are below that at $15 per hour. Those who have managed to obtain employment with a school board are making $26 per hour, get full benefits and a pension, work fewer hours in a day and get summers off. "This disparity makes it difficult to recruit and retain educated child-care workers and when turnover is high, the quality of care decreases," she said. "Learning happens through care and consistent relationships. If there is turnover, there is no consistency." While she applauds the government for releasing a five-year action plan for child care, she says it falls short. More funding is needed to fill the gaps that have grown so large because 100,000 new licensed child-care spaces are moot without trained staff and parents who can afford those spaces. "You know the system is broken when parents are forced to choose between work and staying home to care for their children," she added. "The funding announcements are a step in the right direction but much, much more is needed. Parents, children and the child-care sector deserve better."
