New 360Kids program looking for volunteers to help kids in need KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com "Read this article." Catherine Pawlick pushed the newspaper article toward her husband, Tim Grimes, who’d just got home from work. "This is happening right here," she tapped the paper. "We need to do this." Pawlick and Grimes were nearly empty nesters with three grown children, and Pawlick’s heart hurt for local youths being described in the article - young people not as lucky as their own kids, searching a place to call home. "We can make a difference, honey, if we can take them off the street and give them a place to sleep." Grimes agreed. He, too, was stunned to read in that article about Nightstop that 300 youth were without shelter every night in York Region. "Here? In affluent York Region? It blew me away," Pawlick recalls. And so began the Richmond Hill family’s foray into sheltering homeless youth, part of the pioneering new 360Kids’ program, Nightstop. The initiative, the first of its kind in North America, began last spring matching York Region families with a spare bedroom to qualified local youth in need of a place to sleep. The couple was nervous at first, despite the lengthy training and vetting they’d undergone to prepare. Who knew what kind of kid would turn up at their front door? But the young people on the other side of the door were nervous too. For the most part, they were in their teens or early 20s, kicked out home or in a crisis, with nowhere to go but this stranger’s house - or the streets. Hailey recalls waiting, heartin-throat, for Pawlick and Grimes
Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland
Hailey, 17 (centre), is grateful for having a warm, cozy bed thanks to hosts Catherine Pawlick, her husband Time Grimes and their dog, Sox, who were among the families who opened their doors to youth in need of shelter. to answer her knock on the door. The 16-year-old had been having trouble back home in Keswick. She’d been living under the care of her Nan - her legal guardian - and their relationship was a stormy one. As Nan grew increasingly ill with cancer, "I got kicked out because she couldn’t take care of me anymore". Leaving home for the last time, with no money and nowhere to sleep, she ventured into the MOBYSS van (a free, youth walk-in clinic) parked outside her Keswick high school. Before she knew it, Hailey was being driven by Nightstop co-ordi-
nator Jacquie Hermans to The Hub, 360Kids’ bustling youth-atrisk drop-in centre in Richmond Hill. She’d never been away from her small-town rural community before. "I thought when I got there, I was gonna get jumped. I didn’t know better." More scary times lay ahead as she and Hermans knocked on the door of a large suburban home. She envisioned the kind of foster home she’d seen in movies, teeming with strange kids. But the Richmond Hill family was warm and eager to help.
That first night, they stayed up late, chatting together in the cosy living room with the family dogs, scouring transit maps to figure out how she could get back and forth to school. It felt like home, Hailey recalls, but better, with a bedroom on the second floor and a neatly made queen-sized bed. "It was the nicest room I’ve actually ever seen. It had a bathroom attached to it!" Pawlick asked her what she’d like her to make for her school lunch, and tears filled the girl’s eyes. "No one’s ever made me lunch
before. No one ever made me dinner or washed my clothes." For two weeks, Hailey lived there, making the two-hour bus ride each way to her Keswick school, sometimes not returning until midnight from her afterschool job at Walmart. When a spot became available in a 360Kids group home in Markham, Hailey was ready to move on. Her time with Katherine and Tim provided a stepping-stone, making her comfortable accessing 360Kids support programs, and prepared to be on her own. Tim and Katherine have had many more kids through their doors since then and found the experience rewarding and enlightening. Now they speak to other families, hoping to help grow the program. There is still a big need for host families, especially in the northern York Region, Hermans says. Hailey confirms that. "I know other kids [in Keswick] legitimately homeless. Most of them stay at friends’ houses, couch surf, stay in people’s garages, and it’s really sad because they’re good kids. It’s just, there’s nowhere for them to go. "I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t come into Nightstop. I’m forever grateful that someone was there for me. ... We’re just regular teenagers who had some hard breaks and need some help."

EDITORIAL | OPINION
• OUR VIEW •
ABOUT US
Is it time for Remembrance Day holiday? While there hasn’t been a rallying cry for it this year, likely owing to the fact Remembrance Day falls on a Saturday, but rarely does a Nov. 11 go by without a call being issued to make the annual commemoration of the sacrifices made by our fallen soldiers and veterans an official holiday across the country. This past summer, a bill introduced by Nova Scotia Liberal MP Colin Fraser successfully passed in the House of Commons, granting Remembrance Day the same recognition as Canada Day and Victoria Day, but it doesn’t make Nov. 11 a nationwide statutory holiday as provincial and territorial governments hold legal dominion over that realm. As it stands, the three territories and six provinces recognize Remembrance Day as an official public holiday, with Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario standing as the four that do not. If it seems like encouraging those four provinces to align with the rest of the country is a simple matter, think again. Although making Nov. 11 a statutory holiday is an idea that usually gets bandied about in Ontario around this time of year, various individuals and groups, the Royal Canadian Legion among them, have argued that designating Remembrance Day a day off would do little to get more people out to their local cenotaph for the memorial services and raised concerns the public would ultimately overlook the solemnity of the date and treat it as just another day of rest. It’s an understandable fear as no one wants Remembrance Day to become little more than the "November long weekend" and see people more interested in partying and/or winterizing their cottages than taking time to remember the fallen and pay their respects. That said, Remembrance Day 2017 presents an opportunity in that it will allow us to get a better idea of how people would treat a Nov. 11 holiday as it falls on a day many of us have off. Next year’s Remembrance Day will land on a Sunday and will similarly permit us to see how many people will attend memorial services without the obstacle of the weekday work routine. If we’re able, all of us should take the time Saturday to attend a Remembrance Day service and/or parade to preserve the memory of the fallen and express gratitude to our veterans. After all, lest we forget. Will we make good on our commitment and come together to honour the fallen and show that a statutory Remembrance Day holiday could work, or will we use the day, as many feared, to sleep in and address personal projects? The choice is ours.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Frustrated by length of college strike The college faculty strike is in its third week now. The Ontario Public Service Employees Union and College Employer Council have not talked since Oct. 15 and the mediator requested they resume talks on Thursday, Nov. 2. They will need to work hard to reach an agreement quickly so students and faculty can maybe get back to classes as early as next week. All of the 24 colleges are affected by this strike which is impacting 12,000 college faculty. I am a college student and I am frustrated by the duration of this strike which could result in a lost semester. I have signed the online petition to get a refund on my tuition for the
number of lost days. Some of the key issues of the strike are the number of part-time instructors and job security. If the issues are addressed it would cost the province $250 million. Deb Matthews, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development, said that she wants to see the negotiations happen. Premier Kathleen Wynne said that she will keep pushing for both sides to talk but she is also not ruling out a back-to-work legislation. Michael Mascarin

But in the end he laid claim. I cried like you did too, For a man whose story lately grew. Some scoffed when our leader shed some tears, That only fortified the council of years. His band all humble and united as one, To tell the story of a Canadian son. His brothers spoke their quiet truth, And of the Ogoki Indigenous youth. Thank you for insight into ourselves, As a nation, the grief in us swells. As you look down with your eyes wide, Your inspiration begets our pride. Bobcaygeon was my very fave, Small-town tribute with a wink and a wave.
Ahead by a century, that’s for sure, Nothing said who we are more pure. In the King’s Town they gathered in the square, Our very own Elvis with his cross to bear. And so they came both young and old, To understand a country’s gold. My father’s name the same as his, Perhaps a reminder of just what is. Both to cancer they did succumb, We know where they are both welcome. And for those of us who wonder why, Let our buddy Gord breathe a sigh. He was there to show us the way, May he rest in peace, dear Lord we pray. Paul McMahon

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Huntington Road from Langstaff Road to McGillivray Road (Part A) and from Major Mackenzie Drive to Nashville Road (Part B) The City of Vaughan has completed the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the Huntington Road improvements to accommodate population and employment growth in western Vaughan. The proposed road improvements are required to be completed by 2021 and are consistent with objectives outlined in the Vaughan Transportation Master Plan – A New Path (July 2013). STUDY PROCESS The EA study has been conducted in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule ‘C’ projects, as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015). The EA study identified a recommended preliminary design that includes: For Part A (from Langstaff Road to McGillivray Road): widening to four lanes, urbanization of the roadway with a multi-use trail on the east side from Langstaff Road to McGillivray Road, and a sidewalk on the west side between Langstaff Road and Rutherford Road. For Part B (from Major Mackenzie Drive to Nashville Road): urbanization of the roadway and a multi-use trail on the east side. Public Information Centres (PIC) were held on November 25, 2014 and June 29, 2016. The PICs provided the public and interested stakeholders the opportunity to meet with the Project Team and comment on the study. ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY REPORT The Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be placed on public record for a 30-day review period in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, from November 9, 2017 to December 10, 2017. The ESR documents the planning and decision-making process, as well as consultation, that was undertaken throughout the study. The ESR is available for review at the following locations: Vaughan City Hall Office of the City Clerk 2141 Major Mackenzie Drive West Vaughan, ON L6A 1T1, 1st Floor

ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com Crime Stoppers is appealing for help identifying a man who allegedly stole tools from a Home Depot store in Vaughan then pulled out a knife and swung it at a store security guard who tried to arrest him. A man entered the Home Depot on Northview Blvd. Wednesday, Aug. 9 and took multiple tools, concealed them and left the store with-
out paying, Crime Stoppers alleged in a news release. A store security guard approached the man outside the store and attempted to make an arrest, but the suspect allegedly brandished a four-inch collapsible knife and swung it at the guard, who then disengaged. The man then fled from the scene in an unknown direction of travel. He is described as a white male with brown hair, between 20 and 30 years old, standing six feet
tall and weighing 240 pounds. He was wearing a Blue Jays baseball hat, a white Tshirt, green cargo shorts and had a black tensor bandage sleeve on his right elbow. He was carrying a light blue duffel bag. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477) or www.1800222tips.com or text message your tip to CRIMES (274637) starting with the word YORK.

SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com How can you - one individual - pay tribute to a group of people who gave so much? How can you honour ordinary people who gave their time, and in certain cases life and limb in the name of freedom? Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua believes he has a solid way for residents to pay tribute to soldiers around the time of Remembrance
Day. Vaughan City Hall is home to a poppy mural. Residents can write a personal message on a paper poppy to be posted on the mural. "In today’s society, it is important to pause and reflect and pay tribute to those who have given so much in the name of freedom and democracy," the Vaughan mayor said in a phone interview Thursday. "It is an opportunity to share thoughts of remembrance and share grati-
tude." People can contemplate and meditate on what Remembrance Day means to them, the mayor said. "It’s a good way to honour them (soldiers)," he said. In a special ceremony Nov. 1, Mayor Bevilacqua and council members joined veterans (members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 414) and local students and children to place the first poppies on the wall. On Nov. 1, children aged 3-5 from The Vaughan
City Hall YMCA Child Care Centre presented wreaths to members of the legion. "It was very touching and moving," Mayor Bevilacqua said. The Vaughan Township Historical Society and Royal Canadian Air Cadets were also at Vaughan’s ceremony. The ceremony was also personal for Mayor Bevilacqua. His grandparents, father and cousins did military service in Italy and the U.S., he said.
To honour Vaughan’s veterans, a display at city hall features plaques bearing the names of Vaughan residents who served during the First World War and the Second World War. The exhibition showcases, from a Vaughan perspective, the dedication and service throughout the last 150 years. Residents are invited to pay their respects by visiting the exhibit and writing a personal message on paper poppies, which will be up until Nov. 13.
"As Canadians, we enjoy freedom today because of the brave men and women who served and continue to serve our country with courage and valour," Mayor Bevilacqua said. "These noble individuals have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of peace and justice ... These efforts should never be taken for granted or forgotten, which is why I am grateful for this poppy initiative that has now become an annual tradition at Vaughan City Hall.

THE AFTER DEATH EXPERIENCE You have read a number of articles in the past The Wills Lawyer about wills and powers of attorney, and the focus of all of these articles has been what you do during your life and how you plan for after you pass away. But what actually happens to your estate after you pass away? That is the focus of this article. Where you pass away without a will, a law known as the Succession Law Reform act governs how your estate will be distributed. If you are married without children, your spouse will inherit the estate. Married with one child? Your spouse will inherit the first $200,000.00 of your estate and for the balance, your spouse will inherit 50% and your child, the other 50%. Married with two or more children? Your spouse will inherit the first $200,000.00 and one third of the remaining value. Your children will inherit the Barry Fish remaining two thirds. There are a series of problems which face a surviving spouse where there is no will. Firstly, since no executor was appointed, if probate is required, the spouse must apply to the court to be appointed as Estate Trustee without a Will. For this, he or she must have the consent of all of the beneficiaries, unless the spouse is the sole beneficiary. What if a beneficiary is under the age of eighteen or subject to incapacity? Then special arrangements have to be made to satisfy the court, in order for the surviving spouse to be able to administer the estate. What if the beneficiaries refuse to consent? Court involvement will be necessary. Secondly, since there is no will, children under age must have their portion paid into Court. Children who are eighteen will inherit without restrictions and are at risk of squandering the inheritance due to their inexperience. Thirdly, if there is no marital tie between the parties living together and one of the partners passes away as in a common law relationship, the surviving partner will not inherit and will have to settle with or fight with blood relatives to receive support or repayment for contributions made during the relationship. Where you pass away with a proper will, you have carved the above problems away from the burdens that your executor must carry out. You should be aware that the powers you give to your executor under your will are brought to life the moment that the death certificate is signed. With these powers, your executor has the immediate right to take steps in the administration of your estate. However, there are restrictions which will very quickly present themselves to your executor. Where the assets of the deceased are not held jointly with another person, and are held in a chartered bank, or a stock brokerage, a financial institution or in real estate, such assets cannot be dealt with until the Estate Trustee has been appointed by the court. For some real estate which has been held by the deceased for a number of years, there is an exemption which is not within the subject matter of this article, but aside from this exemption, no real estate can be dealt with unless the will is “probated”. Similarly, other than trivial amounts, assets in the name of the deceased solely which are held in a bank, stock brokerage, or financial institution cannot be dealt with unless the will is “probated”. What is “probate”? Probate is a commonly used term to describe what is legally known as Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee With a Will. The executor is described as an Estate Trustee and he or she applies to Court for his or her appointment. The fee paid to the Court is actually called the Estate Administration Tax and is charged at one half of a per cent on the first fifty thousand dollars of the Estate’s value. The remainder of the Estate’s value attracts a charge of one and one half per cent. These taxes have to be paid into the Court with the court application subject to some rare exceptions. How long does it take to probate a will? That depends on which court the application is filed in. There is no choice of court, as the court which has jurisdiction is the court of the domicile of the deceased. Some courts have a heavier backlog of applicants than others. However a serious component to consider is the quality of the probate application itself. The court will reject an application if it is not done accurately. This will include the wording of the application itself, the wording of the affidavit of the witness, the proper commissioning of the affidavit and the will as an exhibit. If there are no problems with the application, in a GTA court, you can currently expect the probate process to take place over a period of three to four months For the above reasons, in order to avoid or at least minimize delays in the process, it is important to consider using a lawyer familiar with this area of the law, to file a probate application. Barry Fish is the principal of the law firm of Fish & Associates, founded in 1973. Over a span of 44 years, his firm has been dealing with probate work as an area of the law practice of the firm. In the event you are concerned about issues which have arisen or are about to arise in relation to the administration of an estate, Mr. Fish or his law clerk Robyn can be reached at (905) 881-1500 extension 20. 7951 Yonge Street Thornhill Ontario L3T 2C4

A group of longtime Kleinburg residents are worried for the future of their community after what some are calling "the wrong development" was approved at Vaughan council last week. A 28-unit development on what was formerly property that held three homes, was approved 7-1 at Vaughan council with only local ward councillor Marilyn Iafrate voting against it. Deputy Mayor and Regional Councillor Mario Ferri was absent. The development, which the developer advertises as single and detached homes but which are linked underground, is located off Stegman’s Mill Road and Napier Street. Bob Klein, who has lived in Kleinburg since 1975, said the development, which was approved upon staff’s recommendation that several Official Plan exceptions be granted, does not fit within local Kleinberg Official Plan guidelines. "We talk about Kleinburg as a rural village. That was done by residents and all previous councils. But an exception has been made," said Klein who now worries further developments will take advantage of the official plan exceptions granted to the Stegman’s Mill Road development. Ward 5 Councillor Alan Shefman, who ultimately voted for the project, expressed dismay that the developer was advertising the homes as singles. "They are not singles or detached, no matter how you describe them. They are linked... they are not separated," said Shefman, who said council should make it clear "we should not approve something to mislead our residents or future residents." For Ward 1 councillor Iafrate, the real issue is that the village of Kleinburg had enjoyed special status in the Official Plan and that this specific development allows many variances that are not "within the spirit of the original document." "The traffic to me is a huge concern: Islington Avenue can’t be widened, Stegman’s Mill can’t widened and it’s winding, it dips and has a real severe curve," said Iafrate. "We have to discourage the amassing of lots together and this has taken three lots and put them together and consolidated them... we spent close to $20 million on the official plan. Why did we waste the money (if we aren’t going to follow it)?"

Residents facing 3% tax hike
TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com Is a three-per-cent tax hike for Vaughan taxpayers reasonable or unreasonable? Depends who you ask. Those round the council table, with the lone exception possibly of Regional Coun. Gino Rosati, seemed content Monday night at a public finance committee meeting with asking Vaughan taxpayers to pay three per cent more on their tax bills in 2018. That figure
amounts to a $56 increase for the average homeowner on the Vaughan portion of your tax bill. It doesn’t include a 9.9-per-cent increase on your water and wastewater bill, an extra $8.33 per month for the average homeowner. Rosati made a motion to ask finance staff to come back with budget option increases of 2.75, 2.5 and 2.25 per cent but the motion failed. Seems like three per cent is the number. Or is it? Vaughan resident Richard Lorello pointed out that last year, when all
was said and done, instead of being revenue-neutral as the budget attempts to be, the city wound up taking in $7.1 million more than expected and spending $8.5 million more than it budgeted, for a net deficit of $1.4 million according to city figures. $700,000 was taken from two different reserve funds to make up the difference and make the budget balance. "So, is this a good budget or a bad budget?" Lorello asked. "We don’t really know and we won’t know until next year."

Perhaps in anticipation that final figures on the city’s balance sheet won’t be available until the new year, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Laura Mirabella asked that final council approval of the budget not be made until January instead of late November. That was granted, as was a request originally made by Lorello that a York Region official come to Vaughan council and explain and discuss the region’s budget. The tax increase isn’t final.

You won’t have to wait three years to get a peek at what the new Vaughan hospital’s rooms look like. Beginning Thursday, Nov. 9 and continuing to Saturday, Nov. 11, you’ll have the opportunity to see the new-look emergency, acute care, maternity, operation, mental health and typical hospital rooms courtesy of full-size mockups in a Keele Street warehouse. Mackenzie Health staff has spent months working on and training in the mockup facility and gave York Region media a chance to tour it this week. Kristine Jarvi, executive director of transformation
at Mackenzie Health, showed a reporter and photographer around the rooms, pointing out how "important the patient experience is" in Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital, expected to open in late 2020. Particularly impressive are the large seating areas in every hospital room that can pull out for sleeping access so visitors can choose to stay overnight next to loved ones. "The goal is to have no visiting hours," said Jarvi, who added research shows patients who have their loved ones on hand "do better" than those who don’t. The hospital wants to create an overall "feeling of warmth," she said. The other impressions immediately apparent are
the extra-large windows for patients and visitors to enjoy and get daylight and sunshine, the large size of the rooms, the walls instead of curtains in emergency rooms and electronic patient computer stations located near every bedside. The labour-delivery-postpartum room is especially large and built to accommodate every need a mother and her partner could have from the moment she enters the hospital until she leaves with her baby in tow. The public is invited to see the rooms for themselves on Thursday, Nov. 9 from 3-7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 10 from 3-7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 11 from 12 noon to 3 p.m. The address is 8550 Keele St. just north of Langstaff Road.
