Metrolinx makes way for future Keelesdale station

Staff photo/BENJAMIN PRIEBE

Work was underway Friday to remove buildings in the Keele Street and Eglinton Avenue West neighbourhood, in preparation for the construction of the new Keelesdale Crosstown station.

More than 300 people dined out and competed in a trivia night fundraiser that will help ensure a St. Clair West organization is able to serve more than 15,000 meals this year to those who often go without.

This year’s Trivia Night, a fundraiser for Wychwood Open Door, was its best yet in eight years in terms of dollars col-lected, raising approximately $20,000 to $25,000 to help run its services. The final tally from last Saturday’s event is still being counted.

“I’m so gratified. Our board members and staff and volun-teers worked so hard, it’s been great to see it come together in such a way where the commu-nity came to support Wychwood Open Door,” said Wychwood Open Door chair B.H. Yael.

The fundraiser inside a packed barn at neighbouring Artscape Wychwood Barns included food from local res-taurants, bar, auction including donated prizes from area busi-nesses and politicians, and, of course, the trivia night. There were 33 tables of 10 people.

Prep work continues ahead of planned construction for a light rail station at Keele Street and Eglinton Avenue West.

Construction of Keelesdale Station is scheduled to start in spring, one of several under-ground stops on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Before that, construction crews need to knock down five residential and commercial buildings in

the area – including a former Toronto EMS office and a coin-operated car wash located mid-block – where the station will be located.

The work started Feb. 3 and is expected to last approxi-mately four weeks. Over that time, temporary fencing will be in place around the various demolition sites, and Metrolinx is advising of noise caused by

construction vehicles such as excavators, backhoes and large trucks. Parking and sidewalk restrictions could also be in place.

Road restrictions as a result of the construction are slight, but expect lane closures at Eglinton and Yarrow Road.

Along with the demolitions, progress is being made on “day-lighting” utility work on Eglinton

from Yarrow to Keele. The work entails exposing the

underground utilities in an effort to improve safety on site. The work is expected to take another two weeks to complete.

Also planned is drilling work for Eglinton between Keele and Yarrow as well as Trethewey Drive on February mornings until the beginning of station construction.

The provincial government is offering support to high school and post-secondary students looking to start up their own businesses.

Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Michael Coteau and Trinity-Spadina MPP Han Dong dropped by Central Toronto Academy to announce the program is now accepting submissions from students aged 15 to 29. Selected entrants will receive grants of up to $3,000, plus training and mentorship.

“This year, we’re hoping to add 900 new success stories... and we know future prosperity here in the province of Ontario really depends on the success of our young people,” Coteau said. “That’s why we’re continu-ing to build this program.”

Last year, the province invested $250 million in a Youth Jobs Strategy, which aims to tackle the issue of youth unemployment and underemployment in Ontario. That investment will aid pro-grams like Summer Company, which has helped young people launch businesses in the technology, health care, recreation and other fields.

“With renewed funding,

the Summer Company pro-gram can help twice as many young people meet mentors and create their own summer business employment pro-grams while continuing their studies,” Coteau said.

Dong said he has heard from plenty of young people and parents who are concerned over the lack of opportunities for summer and part-time employment for students.

“As I have meetings and knock on doors, talk to resi-dents here, youth employment continues to be a major issue, a concern of parents not just in Trinity-Spadina, but in the greater GTA as well,” he said.

The program will ben-efit youth like Hamdi Ali of Central Toronto Academy, who designed sweaters with his own Toronto logo. While the design have proven popular among classmates, Summer Company would provide him with the means to expand their business.

“I’m trying to get into the program to launch my own company,” Ali said. “It’s not only the money – I would get training I need. I would get mentorship and make con-nections.”

Youth Employment Services (YES), which helps connect young people with work, will

facilitate Summer Company training and mentorship for some 50 youth in Toronto. YES vice president of devel-opment, programs and human resources Sinead McCarthy said the program will do more than simply provide work, it will help young people build valuable skills.

“They’ll be able to meet with highly qualified busi-nesspeople over the course of the summer who can help them not just with their busi-ness itself but with things like marketing and finance,” she said. “Sometimes the training will be skill-based, sometimes it will be business-based and sometimes it will be something like media relations.”

She added participating youth will meet with mentors by phone at least every two weeks, but will also be able to connect in other ways between meetings.

“The access to a mentor is probably one of the most important aspects of the pro-gram,” she noted.

Summer Company will start in late June/early July and run through Labour Day. Applications will be accepted until May 6. For more infor-mation on the program, visit www.ontario.ca/page/start-summer-company-students

Goodwill has filed for bankruptcy in the hopes it can restructure and reopen some stores, its CEO announced Monday.

In a statement, Goodwill Industries of Toronto, Eastern, Central and Northern Ontario (TECNO) CEO Keiko Nakamura said the company filed for bankruptcy to preserve its assets for its principal creditors, its former employees.

“The corporation is contemplat-ing later making a proposal to its creditors, which, if approved, would annual the bankruptcy and allow the corporation to reopen some stores, continuing to serve the surrounding communities and offering a source of gainful employment,” Nakamura’s statement read.

“Strategic alternatives under consideration focus on overcom-ing significant barriers to relieve the organization’s financial burden to allow for a possible restructure. In accordance with the BIA (Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act) filing, a trustee has been appointed in Goodwill TECNO’s proceedings and will assist the organization in its efforts.”

The trustee will contact the

employees within five business days, she added.

The Canadian Airport Workers Union, which represents Goodwill TECNO’s unionized employees, released a statement Feb. 8 as well, saying it supports any plan that would allow Goodwill to reopen stores and get employees back to work.

The union’s statement also shared that it learned Friday, Feb. 5 that

Goodwill Industries International (GII) wants to cut ties with Goodwill TECNO by withdrawing its member-ship and ability to use the Goodwill name.

“The CAWU is extremely disap-pointed in the actions of GII in aban-doning the Goodwill Industries of Toronto community,” the statement read. “Their actions have severely harmed the interests of the employ-

ees and public who rely so heavily on Goodwill stores.”

Goodwill TECNO’s 16 stores, 10 donation centres and two offices in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Newmarket, Barrie, Orillia, and Brockville abruptly closed Jan. 16. The shutdown came without warn-ing to employees, whose collective agreement required at least 30 days notice of closures.

Nakamura blamed the organi-zation’s “cash-flow crisis” on high rent and labour costs, increased retail competition and decreased donations. The company’s col-lapse affected about 450 unionized employees and an unknown number of part-time, non-unionized employ-ees. Goodwill TECNO stated it was unable to provide the full number of employees affected when asked by Metroland Media Toronto.

As well as abruptly losing their jobs and health benefits without warning or severance pay, the employees were originally told they wouldn’t receive their final paycheques. Two days after publicly announcing employees would not receive paycheques on Jan. 22, their final scheduled pay day, Nakamura announced early on Jan. 22 that Goodwill had found a way to pay workers for their final hours.

It’s a full house for the Trivia Night benefit held Saturday night at the Artscape Wychwood Barns in support of the Wychwood Open Door drop-in centre on St. Clair Avenue.

Funding will help drop-in centre continue feeding hungry>>>from page 1Each table worked as a team against the other tables, answering ques-tions called out by host Liza Fromer, of Global TV, for prizes.

Wychwood Open Door provides breakfast and lunch three times per week, as well as life skills develop-ment, discussion groups and helps reduce social isolation to its mem-bers. There’s a clothing drop-off and exchange. The drop-in centre at 729 St. Clair Ave. W. also hosts programs run by partner agencies.

The organization opened its doors in September 1986. Half its funding comes from the City of Toronto, the rest through fundraising.

Yael said the funds raised at the trivia night fundraiser will serve an immense need.

“Some of the people who come here have housing issues, so they have a place where they can come and get some advice around that. Some are homeless. Some are not. All of them don’t have enough food. Some of them are socially isolated. It addresses those issues,” she said.

Now celebrating its ninth year in Ontario, Family Day on Monday, Feb. 15, this year has become a welcomed long holiday weekend

for many.But whether or not people spend that time with

their families is another question entirely.It’s certainly not because there’s a shortage of fun-

filled events across the city.From the annual Family Day skates hosted by sev-

eral community groups to winter fundraisers by non-profit organizations such as the Canadian Cancer Society, people of all ages can participate.

Do something educational by having kids attend winter nature programs at Rouge Park or take a family friendly tour of the Ontario Legislative Building while participating in a scavenger hunt at Queen’s Park.

Just visit www.insidetoronto.com/toronto-whatson/ to see all the events and activities in your community the whole family can enjoy.

Perhaps this weekend will be a time for couples instead to enjoy dinner out this Sunday with Valentine’s Day coinciding with Family Day weekend.

Some restaurants are sure to be completely booked already, while others may have a long waiting list.

Make those reservations now.For those willing to trek downtown, keep in mind

there will be plenty of visitors in town with Toronto hosting the NBA All-Star Game along with all the basketball festivities taking place at various venues leading up to the tip-off Sunday evening.

Look for car lovers, too, as the 2016 Canadian International AutoShow kicks off Friday at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

And the Hockey Hall of Fame is getting in on the Family Day action by offering free admission for kids Monday.

Just one note however, with the threat of a poten-tial taxi protest, the TTC might prove to be the better way this weekend if you are commuting down to the core.

Whether Family Day is a time to spend with family or just an extra day off, the city has a lot to offer this weekend.

Go out and take advantage of it.

Enjoy Family Day weekend with those you love

There’s hope for Toronto’s fiscal future, but not this yearNothing has changed.

Going into next week’s budget debate, Toronto council will be considering a 1.3 per cent inflationary property tax increase, with some, but not all, of the ser-vices the mayor and council promised last year.

It’s all buoyed by a banner year in land transfer tax revenue, surpluses from last year and reserves for rainy days.

It’s all fine, right? Well not really. On

Tuesday, Toronto city man-ager Peter Wallace reiter-ated and amplified points he made at the beginning of Toronto’s budget process in late 2015.

To whit: the whole thing – the city’s operating budget, tax rate, service levels, capital plans – is all unsustainable.

At the Tuesday executive committee, he put it as bluntly as he could. “We as staff will constrain expense growth and we are very suc-cessful in this, but in bal-ance, council has shown a

propensity to increase ser-vice levels. That leads us to a conversation around what service levels will you cut. If you’re not willing to cut service levels, that leaves us with a conversation on revenue.”

Or more bluntly still: “Council needs to step back and decide not only what it says it funds, but what it actually funds.”

Now, this is the point in the budget column when I would shift into excoriat-ing the budget committee for being hopeless morons who can’t put fiduciary duty ahead of craven politics. And there will be a bit of that: the 2016 budget is a duct-tape and chewing-gum affair that sets up unrealistic expectations among property taxpay-ers, and barring another miraculous year of growth in Toronto’s real estate

bubble.. er, market... makes things only harder to cobble together next year. The budget committee and the mayor ought to have known better. Now that that’s out of the way, there is some hope things will get better.

During debate and afterward, Mayor John Tory and nearly everyone on the executive committee fell in with their city manager’s tune. Right after the budget is complete, council will get to work on a multi-stage debate on new revenue tools and possibly also higher taxes, held against the prospect of dramatic service cuts. Tory took a first step in that direction at the committee, albeit one he’d already taken publicly, putting forward an amend-ment to go ahead with a long-term 0.5 per cent property tax levy to pay for new infrastructure, in what he called the City Building Fund. It is a first step, and it would politically be the easiest thing for it to be the last step. But Tory is making

it pretty clear he values the advice, even the contrary advice, from senior civil servants.

He swallowed his pride when chief planner Jennifer Keesmaat released a report telling him the city shouldn’t attempt the full SmartTrack plan that he promised. And he made it clear in a short interview after the meeting that he values this advice, too.

“Why would you pay anybody good money if you didn’t want to listen to what they have to say or have them say it in some way that’s muffled?” said Tory. “That’s not how you get results. Quality people speak the truth to whoever they’re speaking to.”

In that respect, at least, it looks as though something has changed. We’ll see if it holds after council votes on the budget next week.

To the editor:R e : ‘ Im p r ov e d

crisis training needed for Toronto police’, Editorial, Jan. 28

In discussing the Forcillo/Yatim inci-dent, this past week’s editorial in the York Guardian began with the statement “Something needs to change.” And indeed Something does have to change. But that something is the shirking of the govern-ment’s responsibility to effectively address the mental health of our citizens.

Where is the help for desperate parents who need assistance with their out-of-control teens?

Those situations are not always the fault of bad par-enting. Where is the help for families of people struggling with mental health issues? Agencies that can offer such help are few and far between and are overloaded. Where is

the help for people suffering untold pain because of mental illness?

Indeed, the emergency department at the new Humber River Hospital has the same number of beds (4) for persons in crisis as did the old Church Street site despite the fact that the new hospital now covers the patient load of the three former sites:

Finch, Church and Northwestern. How is that progress?

Toronto police respond to literally thousands of calls for help for the mentally ill and have Mobile Crisis Intervention teams that respond to calls for assistance with persons in the throws of a mental health episode. All too often, when the team or other officers brings the person in crisis to a hospital, police must wait up to several hours before the

hospital takes charge of the patient. This means that the team is not available to others in need. And the worst part is that often the person is released mere hours later with little attempt to treat the underlying mental illness.

Police are the agency of last resort.

People should not have to struggle without help until

Consider police as last resort in a mental health crisis: readerthey reach a crisis point. Police training is critically important as they will always have to respond to these situ-ations regardless of how much investment is made in Mental

Health Services. However, their training should not be the focus of the current dis-cussions. Let’s get to the root cause and get some proper help for our friends, family

members and neighbours who are struggling needlessly. That’s our responsibility as a society.

Something needs to change. In the last four years, four people in mental distress have been shot and killed by Toronto police officers.

All four shootings happened within minutes of the initial contact with police. In none of these deaths was a mental health crisis worker on scene.

On Monday, Const. James Forcillo was convicted of attempted murder in the shooting death of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim. Yatim was behaving erratically on a streetcar July 27, 2013, brandishing a knife. But it seems clear from a YouTube video that members of the public were not in harm’s way and neither were Toronto police officers in imminent danger. Yet, police took a confrontational approach. A situation like Yatim’s required calm behaviour and verbal de-

escalation. Yatim required a gentle approach to encourage him to drop his weapon and walk off that streetcar alive. He did not need to have a gun pointed at him while being yelled at to drop the knife. But what ultimately cost Yatim his life was less about Forcillo’s

approach than the fact that no officer on the scene knew how to handle the situation differently. That’s a major failure of our police’s training when it comes to dealing with people in mental distress.

Mayor John Tory said something needs to change when it comes to that training, and we agree. Just hours after the verdict, Tory said, “We must learn and make sure that Sammy Yatim’s death, a dark moment for our city, results in real change.” As a member of the Toronto Police Services Board, Tory will be able to not only demand better police training, but ensure it happens.

Police Chief Mark Saunders said his officers’ one-day training in crisis management is adequate and stressed Yatim’s death was an isolated incident. We feel one day is not adequate training for officers.

A coroner’s jury looking into the police shootings of Michael Eligon, 29, Reyal Jardine-Douglas, 25, and Sylvia Klibingaitis, 52 – all shot after approach-ing police with knives or scissors and all considered mentally ill – released its findings in February 2014 and called for better and longer training for police in dealing with such situations. Here we are almost two years later waiting for that training to get better. It can’t happen fast enough.

Improved crisis training needed for Toronto police

OuR ViEW

Time to change training is now

City’s public housing portfolio starts with fundingIt’s hard to be hopeful in the best of circumstances, and when you look at the state of public housing in Toronto, it can be difficult not to despair.

On Tuesday, Mayor John Tory and Senator Art Eggleton did their best to put a hopeful face on the prospects for Toronto’s public housing portfolio, as managed by the Toronto Community Housing Corporation. The occasion was the release of the final report from the Mayor’s Task Force on Housing. The task force was one of the first things Tory kicked off after his election in 2014. Headed by Eggleton and made up of blue-chip executives and community leaders, the task force has been doing yeoman’s work trying to find a way out of the housing weeds.

Task force members, to their credit, did what they could. Last year, they found a way to permit the corporation to renegotiate some of its mortgages to

find more operating dollars. They identified problems with services to tenants on matters such as repairs and safety, and offered up some solutions.

And finally, at the end of their tenure, they’ve recom-mended a bicameral struc-ture intended to divide up the management of existing buildings and the construc-tion of new ones between two new non-profit com-panies, at a somewhat greater arms-length from city council than the cur-rent Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) as it’s cur-rently constituted.

Essentially, that plan would put Toronto’s public housing stock into a co-op model. As Tory noted at the news conference, there are 240 co-op-run housing corporations in Toronto, and little is heard of them, presumably because they’re

well run.Going co-op would let

the corporation play with its mortgages more aggres-sively, borrowing against assets to cover the cost of maintenance and also expand the housing stock. And that would allow the corporation to create more mixed-income communi-ties, where more units are rented out at market rates.

Without doubt, this all is a step forward. But again, it’s hard to be too hopeful that implementation of the recommendations will be a success, when TCHC is so woefully underfunded.

Eggleton made this point right off the top. The giant portfolio of public housing is crumbling, and the repair backlog totals $2.6 billion. Soon, many of the units will be uninhabitable.

The TCHC is also oper-ating under a growing operating deficit that could become as high as $200 mil-lion in a decade.

The federal government has given good indica-

tion there might be some money from Ottawa going to housing renewal and construction. The provincial government, according to Tory, is in a trickier situation and is unlikely to be able to provide much funding in the foreseeable future.

In that scenario, what is foreseeable is something a little more sinister: an arms-length, non-profit company determining that the best way to deal with its unbalanceable books is not to take out mortgages, but to begin to sell.

Ultimately, Eggleton was right to frame the problem as he did. There are changes that can make Toronto’s public housing portfolio more manageable and the lives of tenants better. But the first of those changes must involve funding. Anything else is just shuf-fling deck chairs.

All aboard the UP Express – free of charge.

From Saturday, Feb.13 to

Monday, Feb. 15, Metrolinx UP Express is opening its doors to give families and

individuals the chance to ride the train and experience the service for free.

Ride UP Express free this Family Day weekend

The most recent numbers posted for the Union Pearson (UP) Express indicate sagging ridership for the air rail link.

Critics of the four-stop train line between Union Station and Toronto Pearson airport say high fares price out all but the wealthiest of travelers. The numbers show an average of around 2,400 UP users during November and December, down sharply from previ-ous months. Over the same period, UP trains, which can hold more than 170, were less than 10 per cent full.

This weekend, UP is com-pletely free to use from Feb. 13 to 15.

wWEEKEND TAXI STRIKE IN THE WORKS

Speaking of the long weekend, it’s promising to be a busy one with the NBA All-Star Game, Valentine’s Day, the Canadian International AutoShow – and in all likelihood another taxi strike.

Details were scarce early in the week, but it appears dis-gruntled cabbies will stage a public disruption intended to

spotlight their frustrations toward the UberX private cab service.

The United Taxi Workers Association promises the protest will be more forceful than December’s day-long action that saw drivers block streetcars and get into violent confrontations with suspected Uber operators.

The drivers are upset with Toronto council for voting against proceeding with a court injunction banning UberX. Municipal regulations for legalizing the service are to be unveiled in April.

wPROVINCE TO HELP FUND CAR CHARGING STATIONS

The $20 million Electric Vehicle Chargers Ontario (EVCO) granting program was introduced by the Liberal government late last year as a way to address the lack of charging stations.

“Building up a more robust

network of chargers at work-places, residential buildings and public places, as well as along major highways, will go a long way toward conquer-ing drivers’ range anxiety,” says the group Partners in Project Green, a partnership between the Greater Toronto Airport Authority and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority.

Through the program, the province subsidizes the cost of purchasing and installing charging stations.

wRIDE YOUR BIKE TO WORK FRIDAY

There’s still time to sign up for International Winter Bike to Work Day.

This year’s ride is set for Friday, and for the first time will include students.

Track the number of rides taken during Friday’s event at www.winterbiketoworkday.org

UP trains less than 10 per cent full

City lawyers have the author-ity to seek another injunc-tion against Uber Canada to stop it from operating in Canada, but Toronto coun-cil has asked they only seek that injunction if the timing and circumstances point to a likely success.

Council voted 39-3 to amend recommendations from the city’s Licensing and Standards Committee to move ahead immediately with an injunction stopping the currently illegal Uber-X ride sharing program. After a private staff briefing and debate, Mayor John Tory

moved the amendment that would ask staff to seek the injunction under “appropri-ate circumstances.”

Tory said after the meeting that the advice he and coun-cillors received indicated staff needed to be strategic.

“ When you make an injunction application, you want some degree of assur-ance you’re going to be suc-cessful,” Tory said.

In public, city staff noted that even if the city were to ask for an injunction, it would not likely be heard by a judge before the summer. And at that point, council would have considered a bylaw currently being drafted by staff that would regulate the

ride share program.The meeting was attended

by an at-times raucous crowd of taxi drivers and plate owners, who have been pushing the city to shut down the ride-sharing app in Toronto.

The vote disappointed the Toronto Taxi Alliance (TTA), which issued a news release accusing council of leav-ing the question of a court injunction to a city staff they believe have been reluctant to take on Uber.

“The TTA is shocked by Mayor Tory’s lack of respect for the rule of law and his failure to support Toronto’s legal taxi industry,” the news release states.

Taxi drivers shocked by vote not to file Uber injunction

Will You Be MY Valentine?

I first met Jen in Hadlock School, Miss Carroll’s class, Room 102.

I didn’t even know I liked girls then I saw those big brown eyes and little brown curls.

I was too shy to talk to her but somehow I man-aged to drum up the nerve

To make her this card, one February day and add on the words I couldn’t say to her face.

“Will you be my Valentine? I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine. And every day the sun will shine. If you’ll be my Valentine.”

I held my breath as she took the card out. I didn’t know what that was about.

I’d never felt this way before. Life sure is com-plicated when you’re in Grade 4.

Next thing you know, she started to cry. Ran out of the room with tears in her

eyes.I stood there heart-

broken, in front of the other kids with my card on the floor and its words on my lips.

“Will you be my Valentine? I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine. And every day the sun will shine. If you’ll be my Valentine.”

Later that night, as I on my bed at home Mom knocked on my door, Miss Carroll just got off the phone.

She told Mom that Jen loved my card but she never learned how to read.

So she ran out of the room embarrassed because she didn’t want me to see.

Then Miss Carroll said she had an idea. If she could borrow the card for awhile she’d turn Jen’s tears into one great big smile.

So, Jen met with Miss Carroll each day after class. Those next few months sure went by fast.

I’d never seen anyone study that much. She was so busy we fell out of touch.

Then, the last day of the year in Hadlock School, Miss Carroll’s class, Room 102.

Jen took out my card in front of all the other kids and sang me the words, exactly like this:

“Will you be my Valentine? I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine. And every day the sun will shine. If you’ll be my Valentine.

Will you be my Valentine? I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine. And every day the sun will shine. If you’ll be my Valentine.”

jamie wayneBUT SERIOUSLY Mayor John Tory was hon-

ored with a Bob Marley Day Lifetime Achievement Award at city hall Feb. 4, as the city marked the 25th year that it celebrated the legacy of the legendary Reggae musician on his Feb. 6 birthday.

Tory accepted the award at the proclamation ceremonies, for his dedication to “the unity

of Toronto communities.” He made it clear he was moved by the recognition.

“You get a lot of recogni-tion, more because of the office you hold rather than who you are as a person,” he said. “While there’s a lot of awards that are better known, it’s sometimes these kinds of recognitions that are

more important. The most important thing is the kind of recognition you get which is not what you seek but for the most important work you do, which is trying to find ways to bring people together.”

The award was granted at the celebration of what would have been Marley’s 71st birthday.
