t 24, Nick DeRyck has done everything anyone could expect of him as a young adult. After graduating from Newmarket’s Huron Heights Secondary School, he completed a two-year police foundations course, choosing Seneca College’s nearby King campus, in part so he could live at home to save on expenses. While he plans on a career as a police officer, he now works at Cardinal Golf Club in King for his third season, recently wrapped a part-time summer job with a beer company and will once again get a job for the winter, hopefully this time something more careeroriented than the snowplowing jobs he’s had in the past. While he has a couple of hobbies that cost him money — buying guitars, purchasing car parts for his 1986 Firebird and playing goalie on a hockey team — DeRyck has saved about $12,000 towards buying a home. But he wonders if he’ll ever have enough

Despite his education, holding down a job and saving money, Newmarket’s Nick DeRyck wonders when he will be able to afford to move out of his parents’ home and get a place of his own.
For all the things that move.

T
welve-year-old Aiden was shopping with his dad in a toy store when he noticed most items in the craft section were pink. He pointed it out to his father, then decided he needed to speak to someone about why this bothered him. Aiden is straight and his parents are both male. He is also part of a new generation that appears ready to reinvent how we view gender, and that makes his father Paul Woods, a York Region principal, incredibly proud. “Kids are ahead of us in so many ways. They recognize that gender binary is not important, the person is, and they move on.” Studies back that up. According to Fusion’s poll of 1,000 young people aged 18 to 34, half of all millennials believe that gender exists on a spectrum and shouldn’t be limited to categories of male and female. Thanks, in good part, to these open-minded youth, traditional gender rules and stereotypes are waning. The impact is profound and, to some, it’s disturbing. Phelpston’s Mike Harper, for example, worries gender-neutral washrooms could invite “perverts” of the opposite sex with “toe cams”. Others worry about lone females needing to go into a public toilet downtown, late at night, discovering a male is in the washroom, too. But proponents say there real are safety concerns on the other side. Statistics show shockingly high levels of sexual abuse and assault against transgender people. Sawyer Arnold of Oshawa identifies outside of the gender binary. A member of the board of directors for transgender relations with PFLAG Durham (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), Sawyer’s androgynous looks often earn “dirty looks and sneers” in public bathrooms. Last year, in a men’s washroom, “a guy side-eyed me, then pushed me,” Sawyer said, adding the reaction was based on fear and lack of understanding.
Not so fast, says Gwendolyn Landolt. “Why are we jumping on this bandwagon? I’m not sure the public is as accepting as some people seem to hope.”
GENDER IDENTITY
The spokesperson for REAL Women of Canada — a pro-family conservative women’s movement — said opinion polls show the public is not behind gender changes such as re-wording lyrics to the national anthem.
A Metroland Special Report “It takes a while for behaviour and attitude to catch up to laws.” Jen Anderson Shattuck has also encountered some backlash. Shattuck’s three-year-old son, nicknamed Roo, sometimes likes to wear a tutu. A stranger told the Massachusetts mom it was child abuse to allow her son to dress that way. Her impassioned Facebook response went viral, with more than 60,000 shares. “Roo may not always want to dress this way, but we hope that he’ll remember that, when he did, he was loved,” she wrote. “We are called to be brave and open-hearted so that our children might learn to be brave and open-hearted, too.” Senior lecturer at Harvard Business School Jill Avery suggests the gender divide remains firm for some consumers. Society’s blurring boundaries makes gendered consumption more important today than it was in times when gender roles were more strictly defined, she said. Avery studied what happened when Porsche launched the Cayenne SUV, the first non-sports car in its 70-year history. Porsche fans — overwhelmingly male — unleashed fury at the feminine “contamination” of their brand. “Despite the claims that we are living in a postmodern era of gender experimentation, the men in this study continue to value and protect the masculine identity meanings of their brands,” she said. Michele Donnelly, assistant professor of sport administration at Kent State University, said most sports remain firmly segregated. International Track and Field competitions have a long history of inspecting and testing women’s bodies for chromosomes, testosterone and other signs of femininity. “They are still trying to enforce
“You can artificially change things by legislation, but you’ve got to bring the public with you. These gender-erasing decisions are being made from the top down and don’t reflect what the public is asking for.” Changes to driver’s licences and passports that remove gender identification are coming from “elite sources – activists, media, academics,” Landolt said, adding she worries such moves will lead to more problems. “Census forms will be a jumbled mess and we’ll have problems like what happened recently in a women’s shelter in Vancouver.”
A Massachusetts mom was accosted by a stranger last month who said allowing her three-year-old son nicknamed “Roo” to wear a tutu was child abuse. Her impassioned Facebook response went viral: “Roo may not always want to dress this way, but we hope that he’ll remember that, when he did, he was loved,” she wrote. a line where a line doesn’t exist in nature,” said Donnelly, who worked with colleagues at the Centre for Sport Policy Studies at the University of Toronto. “I think we are far away from gender-neutral competition. I would like more openness and awareness of the limitations of our binary categories … We have a lot more work to do in recognizing the line is not as easy to draw as our language says it should be.” “It’s time to change the way the world thinks about athletes — both straight and gay,” said Patrick Burke, co-founder of You Can Play — an organization set up to challenge the culture of locker rooms in sport. “Talent, work ethic and character
are all that matter when evaluating a player.” York University faculty of education associate professor Jen Gilbert believes teachers can help foster a more gender-tolerant next generation. Schools are a place to invite confusion, to think about gender as a question; today’s teachers-in-training are encouraged to shun gender stereotypes, said Gilbert, who specializes in LGBTQ issues. “We’re at an important moment in history, when the trans folks are saying, ‘it’s important to us’ and the rest of us need to step up and meet that challenge with generosity. Sure it takes effort, but why wouldn’t we?”
DO YOURSELF A & GETT READY TO ! www.SavourYorkRegion.com om
In the 1990s, a transgender woman filed a human rights complaint against Vancouver Rape Relief after the shelter excluded her as a volunteer peer counsellor, saying she did not have the proper life experiences as a woman from birth would. Landolt referred to a statement released last month by the American College of Pediatricians that calls transgender ideology “child abuse.” Disorders of sex development are exceedingly rare, the society said, and “a person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such.” “We have to wonder, what on earth are we doing to these people?” Landolt said. “They need care and in-depth counselling … Why are we so quick to change everything to accommodate people who are troubled?” Comments?

If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home.

Town gets funds to build lake-to-lake trail New cycling and walking trail to link lakes Kim Zarzour
kzarzour@yrmg.com
Construction is set to begin next year on the first phase of Richmond Hill’s portion of the GTA’s proposed lake-to-lake bike and walking trail. The town has been awarded $325,000 in provincial funding to help pay for the route, which will eventually link Lake Simcoe with Lake Ontario. The first stretch passes through Richmond Hill along Leslie Street from Hwy. 7 to just north of 16th Avenue and, in phase two, extends north to Elgin Mills Road. The Lake to Lake Cycling Route and Walking Trail will be an on- and off-road path connecting six municipalities in York Region (Georgi-
na, East Gwillimbury, Newmarket, Aurora, Richmond Hill and Markham) and the City of Toronto. The town’s estimated budget for the first 2.5-km stretch that passes through Richmond Hill is $1.78 million, according to Maria Flores, manager of environment strategy and sustainability. The funds granted by the Ontario Municipal Cycling Infrastructure Program will help pay for construction of phase one and is jointly funded by Richmond Hill and York Region, with each municipality contributing an estimated $890,000 towards the project, Flores said. Flores said the town will apply for further funding from the province to help pay for phase two. The Richmond Hill portion of the Lake to Lake route is envisioned, for the most part, to be an in-boulevard (separated from the road) multi-use path along

the west side of Leslie Street and Hwy. 7 in the south to Bayview Avenue and Bloomington Road in the north. While the majority of the route runs along Leslie Street, 19th Avenue and Bayview Avenue, specific portions of the route will also connect or run through sections of the North Leslie greenway lands, the Oak Ridges Corridor Conservation Reserve, and the West Gormley neighbourhood, Flores said. Phase one construction is expected to begin in 2017 and is expected to be complete in spring 2018. The 121-kilometre Lake to Lake Cycling Route is proposed to run for 92 kilometres in York Region and 29 kilometres in Toronto. Once construction is complete, the resulting pathway will be maintained by the town at a cost of approximately $3,000 per year, according to a staff report presented to council in July.

Video stream, archive of council meetings long overdue
Y
ork Region council is once again considering live video streaming and archiving its council and committee meetings. Such a move, if acted upon this time, would be long overdue. Council last considered video streaming of its meetings in 2013, but balked at the costs and ultimately decided to live stream audio of its meetings only, with no archive of the recordings. Audio was first live streamed in May 2014 and because the region made use of existing equipment, the only added expenditure was $65,000 for secure gateway hardware and new software. Now, the idea of video streaming and archiving the recordings is back on council’s radar. Although the cost to move forward on the proposal remains high — about $125,000, according to a regional report — it’s not a lot of money for a region with a multi-billion dollar budget to spend in order to make its business more accessible to the public it serves.
Suggesting video streaming and archiving aren’t worth pursuing because people might not watch is akin to saying that council meetings shouldn’t be open to the public because so few citizens attend. The majority of York’s local tier municipalities are already video streaming and making some form of archive available. Of the hold-outs, Markham offers only a live audio stream of its meetings and WhitchurchStouffville makes a live audio stream and archive available, while East Gwillimbury and King have neither audio nor video streaming in place. Looking a little further, the regions of Durham, Halton, Niagara, Peel and Waterloo all offer video streaming and an archive in some capacity, so it begs the question: why isn’t York doing it? No one expects that regional council meetings will be a ratings hit. The majority of the local-tier council meetings draw a dozen or so users — with the exception of Whitchurch-Stouffville, which had 170 people tune in for its first streamed meeting — so they could hardly be said to qualify as “must see TV.” However, unlike many local-tier council and committee meetings, the region meets primarily during the day when the majority of residents are at work. Live video streaming and archiving the recordings would at least give people the option to view and review what council is considering and the decisions that are made. Isn’t that what democracy is all about? Suggesting video streaming and archiving aren’t worth pursuing because people might not watch is akin to saying that council meetings shouldn’t be open to the public because so few citizens attend. We have the technology to make these meetings more open and accessible for the public. It’s past time for York Region to move forward on this.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SEND A LETTER: Kudos on recent Donald Trump editorial Email letters to editor to Re: Could Canada elect a Trumplike leader one day?, Sept. 29. With your “Could Canada elect a Trump-like leader one day” editorial, you have written a masterpiece! It is the finest of your year, one ever so current in the minds of all of us as we try to comprehend the electoral circus taking place in our nearest and dearest neighbour. With crisp and elegant prose — and yet in so few words — you have covered the issue there and here with perfection. Well done! Tying the shock we all feel about the American election, (specifically at how far xenophobia and bigotry have risen among the voters there), to the statistics you quote showing 67 to 87 per cent of Canadians liking Simcoe-Grey MP and Conservative leadership hopeful Kellie Leitch’s idea of screening out immigrants who hold “anti-Canadian values”, distressingly answers your title’s question. Beyond the repugnance of the concept itself, is the obvious
newsroom@yrmg.com
impossibility of defining “Canadian values” (Whose? A Maritimer’s? A Yukoner’s? A Native’s? The prime minister’s? Kathleen Wynne’s? A government panel’s?). Beyond that lies the insurmountable task for some poor consular official out there trying to judge how reasonable an applying immigrant’s answer might be. As someone who has recently come through the Canadian immigration and citizenship process, I can vouch for the clean and clear description of the country to which I was applying, along with the extraordinary thoroughness with which the process was handled. Our immigration officials made it very clear what Canada was, how it was administered and governed, what its laws are, how they are administered and what my obligations were once I got here. The origins of Canada, its history and the diversity of the
country today were highlighted in detail (from coast to coast). The process was accurate, its officials were courteous and much could be said for the numerical ranking system itself. I am very pleased, too, that you pointed to Leitch’s proposal as the possible starting point from which “it could happen here”. The idea she made is beyond outrageous and she will hopefully have sunk her Conservative party candidacy with it despite the polls, which pretty much answer the title of your editorial. This kind of thinking, whether a politician’s trial balloon or the uncovering of latent bigotry among our fellow citizens must be called out at its source and it must be stamped out at its earliest stage. Canadians have long struggled with how we distinguish ourselves from Americans. Well this is it: our tolerance, one that will not tolerate racism, bigotry and all the other forms of prejudice that lurk in the hearts of men, even those of our neighbors.

GROWING WOMEN’S HEALTH We believe you’re at your best when you LOVE. YOU. Share the love and give for a healthier community.
Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland
Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti, former Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion and York regional chairperson Wayne Emmerson hold a media conference following a summit at York Region’s headquarters in Newmarket, where municipal leaders discussed concerns with provincial growth plans for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
Density targets would bring skyscrapers, summit says Lisa Queen
lqueen@yrmg.com
Visit your local Shoppers Drug Mart from September 10 to October 7, 2016 and join our annual campaign to Grow Women’s Health. 100% of the proceeds will support local Women’s Health initiatives in your community. When you make a donation, you can add your own colourful leaf ($1), butterfly ($5), apple ($10), or bird ($50) to the Women’s Health tree proudly displayed in your store’s front window. All those colourful additions to the tree really add up – since 2002, you’ve helped us raise over $29 million. Please help us continue to Grow Women’s Health in your community again this year.
There is overwhelming concern among municipal leaders in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area with the provincial government’s proposed aggressive population density targets, according to a summit of municipal leaders, led by former Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion, in York Region on Friday. “It was absolutely amazing the consistency of the positions taken by the municipalities. It was really consistent,” McCallion, an adviser to Premier Kathleen Wynne on issues facing the GTHA, said at a media conference following the closed door summit. “They are concerned about the density. They are concerned about lack of sound planning rather than planning by numbers. They are concerned about the lack of economic plans to back up the growth plan. They are concerned about no financial plan. They are concerned about the jump from one density to a much higher density. And they clearly indicated one plan does not fit all.” But environmental groups are urging the province not to back down. “It’s not surprising that Hazel McCallion is the one calling for a stop to a more progressive idea about growth in the province. She is the architect for urban sprawl, which (Markham Mayor) Frank Scarpitti has taken an example of,” said Sony Rai, director of Sustainable Vaughan, adding municipalities don’t want to give up development charge fees that come with new housing developments. Higher density projects are needed to support investments in public transit and are a planning approach supported by younger generations as opposed to the old guard of municipal leaders, he said. Another four million people will be added to the Greater Golden Horseshoe over the next quarter century.
The province is looking to accommodate the additional people as it updates the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Greenbelt Plan, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Niagara Escarpment Plan. But the province’s approach could fill communities with skyscrapers and other highdensity housing as residents are crammed into relatively small parcels of land, in some cases in communities without the necessary transit and other services to support them, McCallion, Scarpitti and York regional chairperson Wayne Emmerson said at the media conference. “We have very serious concerns,” Scarpitti said, adding that while municipal leaders endorse the idea of increased densities and protecting greenspace, the province is pushing too much intensification too fast and not always in the right areas. “We need to press the reset button.” Emerson agreed municipal leaders have serious concerns. “I wouldn’t say they are freaking out, but they are worried. There is a consequence to these (intensification) numbers. It’s going to cost us a lot of money and where is that number coming from? In the plan, there is no funding,” he said. While the province has indicated it wants to pass legislation on the growth plans next spring, McCallion called on Queen’s Park to stop ramming through the plans. This should not be rushed because this is an opportunity for Wynne to get it right, to get the growth plan right for the GTHA, McCallion said. If it’s going to take extra time, then take it. It’s got to be done right. “You don’t rush a policy that has such major impact on municipalities and then on the lives of residents within the municipalities.”

money to move out of the basement of his parents’ semi-detached house, for which he pays $400 a month in rent. While he gets along well with his parents and two siblings, DeRyck is hoping his frugal lifestyle will allow him to buy his own home by the time he turns 30. “I don’t mind (living at home) at the moment, but I definitely don’t want it to be a lifelong thing,” he said while sitting at the family’s kitchen table. “It’s kind of discouraging that the prices are getting ridiculously high. Here in Newmarket, I think the lowest house would prob-
ably be, if you’re lucky, around $600,000.” While DeRyck knows past generations had to save and work hard to get their footing in life, he feels today’s sky-high housing market makes it that much more daunting for today’s young people. “The down-payments are ridiculous amounts of money now. Even to get your foot in the door is extremely hard. It just makes you feel like it’s going take forever,” he said. He is left wondering how far away he will have to move to afford a home. DeRyck is far from alone, according to Bradford mortgage broker James McNeill with Centum Mortgage Professionals Corp.
“The opportunities are not there. When I graduated school or even when I was going to university, I could work (at a well-paying factory job) and earn enough to move out of the house. I moved out of the house at 18,” he said. “Right now, that is unrealistic because of the cost of living and the opportunity to earn is not there, it’s just not there.” A report released last month by TheRedPin Brokerage, a Toronto area web-based realty service, shows the dizzying housing prices in the Greater Toronto Area. To buy a detached home in the GTA, where the average price is $950,000, you need a household income of $165,000.
For a semi-detached home, with an average price of $661,760, your household income needs to be a minimum of $117,860. The average priced $603,900 townhouse requires a household income of $108,370. You need a household income of $74,827 to buy a condo, which costs an average of $406,845. The average price of buying a home in Markham is $960,100, making a minimum household income of $161,660 necessary,. In Richmond Hill, the average price is almost $1.07 million, necessitating a household income of $179,550, while Vaughan’s average price of $921,700 requires a household income of $156,730.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Vaughan Home for Sale Vaughan - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items
could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.
To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-324-3520 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

Thousands of Ahmadi Muslims gathered in the streets around Vaughan’s Baitul Islam Mosque Monday evening to offer a warm welcome to their spiritual leader Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, arrived in the area known as Peace Village, near Jane Street and Teston Road area, to shouts of “Allahu Akbar” - God is great - from about 10,000 followers from across the GTA. The Caliph, who lives in London, England, is here for a six-week tour, in part to help commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama`at in Canada. “It means the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Irfan Ahmed of Newmarket, who
was among the faithful hoping to catch sight of the Caliph as he arrived in a motorcade. Ahmed said he has seen the Caliph once before, but “just a glimpse.” Peace Village was decorated festively for the visit. Houses were draped in strings of light and children, dressed in red and white, waved Canadian flags while singing songs to welcome the Caliph. Estimates of the numbers of Ahmadis around the world range from 10 to 20 million. They are persecuted in parts of the world, including some Muslim countries where they’re regarded as heretics. “In certain countries such as Pakistan and a lot of Muslim countries we face persecution,” said Hena Malik, who was part of the crowd welcoming the Caliph. “In a country like Canada this

WISHING YOU ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME THIS THANKSGIVING A slight gust of October wind brings a telling chill. You fasten another button, grateful for the patches of golden sun that warm your path. The children's cheeks are red, the dog looks up and tilts his head. The air, crisp and dense, teases you with wafts of firewood, cinnamon and gravy. You turn back. A neighbour coasts by and waves; the beaming smile says more than any words ever could. Can anything ever feel better than coming home for Thanksgiving?

Listed:Top 5 Thanksgiving movies Check out these holiday classics Heidi Riedner
hriedner@yrmg.com
Christmas and Halloween may get top billing when it comes to holiday movies, but the top 5 Thanksgiving films that best convey a cornucopia of reasons why we love our families - and all the dysfunction that sometimes goes with them - are no turkeys and deserve a go-round like the stuffing dish at the Thanksgiving table every year. 1. Planes, Trains and Automobiles John Hughes’ 1987 classic is, by all accounts, the handsdown reigning champ of Thanksgiving movies. Cursing and cuddling duo John Candy and Steve Martin in the road trip to end all trips make the trip home ... finally .... for Thanksgiving in constant hilarity and surprisingly endearing charm featuring two great performances.
2. Home for the Holidays A top-notch cast, including Robert Downey Jr., Anne Bancroft, Charles Durning and Holly Hunter, lends acting chops to the 1997 Jodie Foster directed biting comedy that explores some common “stressors” that should ring familiar to those gathering with one’s family during the holidays. Think family dysfunction at its best without submerging into dark Thankskillings. 3. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving The 10th prime-time animated TV special based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts, this 1973 classic animated Emmy-winner tops the list for sentimental fun ... and buzzkill ingrate Peppermint Patty inviting herself and a bunch of friends over to Charlie Brown’s house only to complain about the meal he and Snoopy had slaved over all morning. Sound familiar?
Classifieds
4. The Ice Storm Definitely not for viewing when you’re looking for lighter fare, this acclaimed feature film directed by Ang Lee explores a seemingly wholesome family that begins cracking at the seams over the course of a Thanksgiving break. Cast includes Joan Allen, Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Christina Ricci, Elijah Wood, Tobey Maguire and Katie Holmes in her screen debut. 5. Hannah and her Sisters Nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, the 1986 Woody Allen film takes neurotic family situations and relationships between sisters to the next level - all surrounded by the drama bookended between two Thanksgiving holidays. Diane Wiest and Michael Caine took home Academy Awards for supporting actress and actor for their meaty parts in the film.
