Adam Burnett is an ultramarathon runner who has just completed running the entire Bruce Trail (more than 900 kilometres) from Tobermory to Queenston in just over nine days, 92 kilometres per day. Here he stands in a trail area of Hunington Park, Thornhill, where he trains. The terrain is very much like what he endured along the Bruce Trail.

Terrible shin splints, vicious toe blisters, blinding knee pain: none of it could stop Thornhill’s Adam Burnett. The 44-year-old father of three was so determined to finish his nine-day trek along the Bruce Trail, no physical challenge was too great to overcome. Just a look at the grizzled Burnett at the finish marker in Queenston, his left leg completely wrapped in tape and looking more like a hospital patient than a first-class athlete, tells you what he went through to complete his journey. Let’s just say running the Bruce Trail in under 10 days was an obsession for the ultra-marathoner. Burnett, who really got rolling

5 Metroland Reports: SIU
SIU SHROUDED IN SECRECY Less than half of investigations into York police-involved deaths, injuries made public
"THEY WON’T TELL ME WHICH OFFICER SHOT ME’ PAM DOUGLAS pdouglas@thebrampton guardian.com
LOUIE ROSELLA lrosella@mississauga.net
T
he province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) launched investigations into 13 police-involved deaths and injuries in York Region last year but you only heard about six of them. That’s because the SIU doesn’t have enough staff to issue news releases for every investigation, according to SIU spokesperson Jason Gennaro. "Each year the SIU starts hundreds of investigations all across the province," Gennaro wrote in an email to Metroland Media. "The unit has limited resources and does not have the ability to issue an initial news release and to provide details in every case it begins." The SIU isn’t required by law to report to the public. It does so as a matter of policy. That’s one thing Justice Michael Tulloch, in his Independent Police Oversight Review report, has said must change. "The SIU must be more open, candid and communicative than it is now," Tulloch concluded in the lengthy report released this past April that included 129 recommendations for improvements to the current system of police oversight in Ontario. He quoted the Police Services Act, which states only that the SIU must re-

Since the release of Tulloch’s report, the Attorney General has committed to releasing all reports publicly, online. That decision will give the public access to information about all SIU investigations in which charges are not laid, but only after the case has been closed. Tulloch recommended the law require the SIU report to the public on every investigation, and he even set out guidelines for how often the unit should update the progress being made on ongoing investigations - after 120 days, and then every 60 days thereafter. Gennaro has said the SIU is committed to issuing news releases in all death cases, shootings, and for "major" vehicle collisions
involving police, which has meant few details released in the majority of SIU-involved cases. Under that policy, news releases are issued by the SIU only 25 per cent of the time, or for one out of every four investigations it conducts, Tulloch’s review found. The SIU handles hundreds of cases each year. Last year, it opened 327 investigations. Tulloch emphasized the correlation between accountability and public trust in the SIU and the amount of information the unit shares with the public. In 2014/15, the SIU spent 4 per cent of its total expenditures on "communications, outreach and affected persons," or $352,584 out of approximately $8.2 million. "Public accountability
is vital to the SIU’s success. Yet the SIU currently has only one person responsible for public communications," Tulloch concluded. Approximately 80 per cent of expenditures were spent on investigations and identification services. "This disparity between the two functions should be addressed," Tulloch concluded, calling for more resources to fulfill its public accountability function. Since the release of Tulloch’s report, the Attorney General’s office has begun releasing the reports the SIU submits and a spokesperson for the Attorney General said that, going forward, all reports will be released to the public. That means the public will be notified of all SIU investigations, after they are completed.
Suzan Zreik spent a good part of her day learning about ballistics evidence and the science of guns. Later that evening, the woman had a bullet lodged in her back, fired by a Peel Regional Police officer. She knew instantly she had been shot. "It was a very hot, burning sensation. There’s nothing else that would’ve flown that quickly through my body," she said. Zreik, 24, was a police foundations student at Humber College when she was accidentally shot March 20, 2015 in her kitchen. The gunfire erupted as officers responded to a disturbance and were trying to fend off a man armed with a knife. Zreik spent the night in hospital and waited six weeks for doctors to remove the bullet. The SIU investigation that followed determined the incident, which also saw the armed man, Marc Ekamba-Boekwa, shot dead and two officers wounded, was "legally justified." The SIU said Zreik was in the "wrong place at the wrong time," a statement that angers her to this day. "I was in my kitchen minding my own business," she said. "These officers were firing wildly into a residential area with children." She is frustrated with the SIU refusing to tell her, or the public, which police officer shot her - and is hoping to find out in court as part of a $21-million civil lawsuit against Peel police. The SIU cannot release the name because it is prohibited by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act, spokesperson Jason Gennaro said. Zreik accuses the SIU of being biased toward police because so many of the investigators are former police officers. Metroland has learned through Freedom of Information documents that of the 60 investigators with the SIU, 34 are "former/retired police officers." In his report focusing on recommendations to improve transparency and accountability at the SIU, Justice Michael Tulloch agreed that having former police officers on staff poses a challenge. "Nobody doubts their ability to investigate. Yet many question whether they are biased in favour of police officers," he wrote. However, Tulloch recommended officers continue to be hired because of their knowledge of police training, education and experience. But he also recommended the SIU try to do more to attract and develop quality investigators who do not have a background in policing.

ABOUT US
Municipal co-operation should be encouraged Municipalities don’t often play well with others when it comes to attracting sought-after employers or highprofile events. After all, the competition to host a major tournament or bring a big-name corporation to town is generally fierce and to the victor goes the lion’s share of the spoils - among them tourism dollars, in the case of a sporting event, and more business tax revenue with a new employer - not to mention political bonus points and bragging rights. That’s why it was encouraging to see the municipalities in the GTA join forces after tech giant Amazon recently announced its intention to establish a second North American headquarters. Rather than trying to self-promote to the detriment of their neighbouring communities, the mayors of Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton, along with the regional chairs of York, Durham and Halton, have teamed up to present a single regional bid in the hope Amazon will set up shop somewhere in the GTA. The municipalities involved are all members of Toronto Global, an arms-length, not-for-profit corporation established earlier this year, whose mandate is to work with municipalities, the province and the federal government to market and promote the area to potential foreign investors. "The Toronto Region is ready for Amazon. The company already has a strong presence in the area, with more than two million square feet of operational footprint across the Toronto Region," the mayors and regional chairs said in a joint statement issued by Toronto Global. "With ready access to major markets, a compelling cost structure, and sophisticated U.S. and international connectivity, there has never been a better time for Amazon to choose the Toronto Region." Amazon has said that it will spend in excess of $5 billion to build the second headquarters, and it is expected to create somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50,000 good-paying jobs. If any GTA municipality were selected to play host to the facility, it would provide enormous spinoff benefits for the entire region and no doubt create tremendous employment opportunities for residents in all of the aforementioned communities and beyond. Not surprisingly, the GTA isn’t alone in its plans to lure Amazon. Vancouver is preparing its case, as are a number of cities in the United States. Regardless, even if the bid to bring Amazon’s second headquarters to the area proves ultimately fruitless, the co-operation displayed between municipalities and local leaders should be seen as a win. Teamwork can only prove beneficial in future campaigns to attract employers or major events to the GTA and ought to be encouraged.

Tree protection bylaws should be applied fairly 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

ark came to rest on one of the peaks of Ararat after five months or 150 days. Thus, Noah chronicled events on the basis of the adjusted lunar year of 30 days per month. From the second month of Gen. 7:11 to the same day of the seventh month was 150 days. After that, the waters slowly decreased, but as Genesis 8:13 and 14 show, it wasn’t until the 27th day of the second month of the year after the flood had begun that they were able to come out of the ark (bringing his compost with him). However, it wasn’t his composting that kept him
alive, but his obedience to specific instructions. Jesus compared this historical event to the last days of this age before he would destroy the nations for their corrupt conduct. In Luke, chapter 17, we see him comparing the days of Noah and those of Lot to this time, when people would be too busy with everyday pursuits to carry out the specific assignment and instructions he had given us. We would be busy marrying, building, planting (and composting), and taking no note of God’s will, and then suffer the consequences. Lila Duncan has excellent intentions, but composting by itself, while yielding sumptuous mustard plants, won’t cut the proverbial mustard. Thorsten Laue

Imagine going to a show where you - as part of the audience - are the star. Donna Hugh-Yeun and her twin sister, Deena, have teamed up to present a show where the audience sings, accompanied by a live band (group style karaoke). Their first show is in Richmond Hill Sept. 22 and is a celebration of Canadian artists in honour of Canada’s 150th Birthday. The sisters, who are in their mid-50s, love going to shows and singing, but have noticed this singing is not always appreciated. The upcoming show will include a four-piece band, made up of two vocalists, a host and hostess. The host and hostess will guide the audience’s singing.

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

Sweltering temperatures Saturday reached 28 C, felt like 33 C SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com The weather gods smiled on The Thornhill Village Festival this year. Temperatures Saturday went up to 28 C, and felt like 33 C with humidity. Festival organizers have not always been so lucky. Rain dampened attendance at the 2013 festival resulting in a reduced budget, and the elimination of the parade. But this year, the event seemed to offer something for everyone - from booths to barnyard animals. An area east of Yonge Street, at Thornhill Summit Drive catered mostly to children, offering a bouncy slide, petting zoo and more.

Toronto Pearson:
International Noise Benchmarking and Best Practices Report Launch
NEW LOCATION:
Join us on September 27, 2017 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Toronto Congress Centre, 650 Dixon Road, Etobicoke, ON, M9W 1J1
for our Community Environment & Noise Advisory Committee (CENAC) meeting for the release of our Noise Management Program Benchmarking and Best Practices Study. What is CENAC?
Why is this important?
CENAC is a forum for discussion between the community and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) on matters relating to aircraft noise and the environmentally responsible operation of Toronto Pearson International Airport.
Toronto Pearson serves Canada’s largest and fastest-growing metropolitan area. The GTAA is committed to managing and reducing the impact of our operations and is reviewing a range of ambitious targets and actions to reduce the impact on GTA residents. Our updated five-year Noise Management Action Plan will be released this winter following a year of detailed study and consultations. Understanding international best practices is an important step in the development of this plan.
What can you expect to learn? In 2016, the GTAA hired UK aviation consultant Helios to undertake a Noise Management Program Benchmarking and Best Practices study. The study looked at 11 areas of noise management at 26 comparator airports around the world to identify potential new programs to be adopted at Toronto Pearson. This is the release of the report’s findings. There will be opportunities to speak with experts, including Toronto Pearson staff. This meeting is not focused on decisions around runway usage.
How do I RSVP? Visit www.torontopearson.com/noisemanagement to register and to learn more about CENAC and the GTAA’s important noise consultations and studies.

in distance running in 2008 and has completed more than three 100-mile races in addition to shorties like the Boston Marathon, first got focused on running the 900-km-long Bruce Trail several years ago. He did the famed ’Badwater 135’ which involves running from Badwater Basin to Mt. Whitney in Death Valley, California, in mid-July. Only 99 runners around the world get to compete in the race each year, and Burnett did it in 2016. And then, his entire focus was on the Bruce Trail. He hired a professional trainer, worked out for nine months, running parts of the trail on weekends, got his nutritional needs down to a fine science and readied his support crew. On Sept. 1 at 5:30 a.m., he set out from Tobermory, Ont., on the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. And on Monday, Sept. 11, at 2:44 a.m., he arrived at Queenston, Ont., in Niagara Region, exactly nine days, 21 hours and 14 minutes after he had started and nearly 16 hours faster than the faster person who had completed the trail before him. But what an adventure in between. "We knew this was going to be tough. We got to about Day 5 and because we had come through some really rocky, rough terrain up north and some really bad weather, my blisters were just so bad," said Burnett. He had a terrible blister on his left pinky toe. He said that, because he was favouring his toe, he was clenching his foot which gave him really bad shin splints which led to a tight knee. "By the end of the fifth day, I could barely walk and couldn’t run at all, so I ended up hiking that day just over 60 kilometres. I
told my support crew, "Guys, if we’re not running the next morning within two hours, I’ll pull the plug." But that night he took an
ice bath, cut out the toe box around his left pinky toe to give his foot room to relax and had his leg and knee taped. And he was
able to run again the next day. He said the scenery on the run was amazing from the cobblestone beaches and gnarly rocks of
the north to the wooded areas and escarpment of the south. But what surprised him most were the people he met along the way. "I was shocked by the amount of strangers who came out to assist and help me and who wanted to run with me. I knew friends and family would come out, but people came from everywhere," he said.

Every kilometre counts in the fight against kidney disease. On Sept. 30, York Region residents can help raise awareness of kidney health and organ donation during the annual Kidney Walk. The Walk brings together thousands of participants from coast to coast to support those affected by kidney disease and their families. On average, one in 10 Canadians has kidney disease and millions more are at risk. Without a cure, nearly 10,000 Ontario residents depend on life-sustaining dialysis treatments several times a week. Many of those are in need of a kidney transplant. The walks are the foundation’s largest community fundraisers. The goal is to support those affected by kidney disease through education, patient support programs, advocacy efforts and funding research to improve the future of kidney care. York Region’s walk will take place at Richmond Green Park in Richmond Hill. Registration starts at 10 a.m. and the walk begins at 11 a.m. For more information, visit kidney.ca.
Want to know if your favourite food is kosher? Has Sol (Shlomo) Assayag got a Facebook group for you. The Thornhill resident started up Speedymeaty ... tokosherguru, his Facebook group that has more than 8,600 members who follow him for all the latest news on kosher food in Toronto and Thornhill. "We spotlight the food kosher restaurants we have in Toronto, because people always talk about the kosher restaurants we have in New York but Toronto never gets mentioned," Assayag said. He said the interactive site also provides a forum for the community to "ask questions about kosher, to get deals on kosher products, and to have a place where they can promote new products". Assayag said the site has also been ideal for people to post where "they go out, where they eat. They post pics and reviews." Assayag said the active group has been able to provide a lot of specials for its members partnering up with Justin’s No Frills in Thornhill. "He’s run huge specials in that store, especially with barbecue season on throughout the summer. It’s been great for the community," he said. Assayag said the site grows every day with new members joining. Check it out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/190980027910796/events/.

Research your new home builder before you buy Buying a new home or condo may well be the biggest purchase of your lifetime. So, it’s a wise decision to do as much research on your builder as possible. One way to do this is to check out the Ontario Builder Directory, a database of registered builders in the province that is maintained by Tarion, the organization that regulates builders and backstops the Ontario new home warranty program. The directory provides information about whether your builder is licensed to build in Ontario — which is a legal requirement — or has had their license re-
fused or revoked. It also tells you how many homes the builder has built and their locations, whether the builder has had any chargeable conciliations, and information about warranty claims that Tarion has had to resolve on the builder’s behalf. The directory has recently been updated and now has new features to help consumers do a more thorough job of researching builders. For example, there is new, user-friendly design that can now be easily accessed and viewed on mobile devices. The design has been approved by ex-

that can provide helpful insights for your new home search. All of these improvements work to provide you with more and better information that can be more easily accessed, making your job easier when researching a builder. Remember that the law requires all builders in Ontario to be registered, so if a name does not appear in the directory, they are not building legally. Search for a builder online at tarion.com.
