PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN The Wills Lawyer Since I have started my wills practice, I have done many wills for couples with young children. One couple, in particular, had such an impact on me that I decided to write an article about what parents with young children need to know about wills. While I was taking notes in our first meeting, the wife looked at me and said “we have been wanting to do this for so long, but we put it off, and now I can finally sleep at night.” The husband then said “since our first child was born, Michelle Kotzer we’ve always been worried about what would happen to our children if we were in a catastrophic accident. We feel so much better that this is being done.”

What happens if you pass away without a will leaving young children? Firstly, there is no executor in place to look after your estate on your death. Secondly, there is no guardian named who can look after your children. In fact, there could be a custody battle between your family and your spouse’s family over who should raise the children. As far as inheritance, your children will inherit everything you own at the age of eighteen. Remember how you were at eighteen. Do you think you could have handled a large inheritance? By law, your children would automatically receive their inheritance at eighteen regardless of their level of maturity. These are only some of the issues that occur, if you pass away without a will. No parent wants to leave a mess for their family.

When making a will what are some things you should consider? First, who should you appoint as your executor? You can appoint your spouse as your primary executor. In fact, this is what is usually done. What about the back up executor? Who will look after your estate in case your spouse is not alive when you die? You can appoint someone else you trust like your parents or siblings. You should also consider whether the person you are appointing as executor has the time to take on the task. An executor may be trustworthy, but he or she may be unwilling to accept the appointment. Executors have the right to decline the appointment at the outset when they find out that they have been named. It is advisable to obtain your executor’s consent.

What about the guardian? If you have minor children your will should appoint a guardian to look after them in the event that you and your spouse both pass away before your children reach the age of majority. Be careful about appointing a married couple as guardians. You should feel very confident about their ability to get along together before concluding an appointment of this nature. If they get separated or divorced, who will have custody of your children? For example, if you appoint your brother and his wife as guardians, and after your death they separate, will there be a custody battle for your children? To solve this, it might be prudent to appoint your brother alone.

KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Tucked behind the overgrown bushes on a busy suburban highway, windowsills rotting, mouldy old Christmas decorations dripping off the back porch, Patrick Cooney’s house has seen better days - but better days may be ahead. A half-dozen city workers, politicians, planners and activists waded through the Markham property’s thigh-high weeds last week, swatting mosquitoes and staring up at the wreckage with enthusiasm. Could this be the place? The ad hoc group of visionaries, pragmatists and idealists were gathered at the 150-year-old farmhouse on Major Mackenzie Drive to work on a dream - one that Patrick Cooney, immigrant, labourer and father of six children, might approve. Michael Braithwaite led the group’s tour July 25. Executive director of Raising the Roof, a national organization seeking long-term solutions to homelessness, he described his vision of repurposing vacant heritage homes across the country for affordable housing. The way he sees it, developers, government and local municipalities could donate or provide longterm lease agreements - at a price of $1 for 10 to 20 years - for unused buildings like the old Cooney homestead, which could then be renovated for rental housing with construction help from marginalized, unemployed youth. It’s an idea he and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Darryl
Gray came up with at York Region’s Human Services Planning Board recently after partnering on a similar project last fall, converting a TRCA-owned home on Mill Street in Markham to a three-bedroom dwelling for at-risk youth. They believe their new venture, which they’ve dubbed "Reside," can tackle two issues at once: the affordable housing shortage, and at-risk youth. Rather than focusing on building new housing, which is a major financial, time and ecological investment, Braithwaite and Gray propose an alternative solution: transforming the existing stock of empty buildings into affordable homes. There’s plenty out there. The conservation authority owns 118 homes across the GTA watershed, obtained as part of the acquisition of natural heritage land and green space; municipalities, in their quest to preserve historic buildings, also end up with vacant homes needing purpose. Nobody likes a vacant building - not the neighbours, who worry about vandalism and deterioration, nor the developers or municipalities responsible for maintaining them. The homes would be renovated with through Building Up, a nonprofit social enterprise that trains and employs marginalized youths to keep them from experiencing homelessness themselves. Similar initiatives have been successful in the Netherlands, Sydney and the U.K. But first, the Reside team needs to find a building to showcase their idea.

Heritage, homelessness team up to help at-risk youth
Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland
Marc Soberano of Building Up (from left), Markham Councillor Karen Rea and Michael Braithwaite of Raising the Roof help launch a new initiative piloted in York Region - hiring at-risk youth to help renovate vacant homes and turning them into affordable housing like this one in Markham. Last week they visited the Cooney house, the 100year-old Raymer Wambold house on Markham Road, and a former church house in Caledon. Local councillor Karen Rea helped lead the factfinding tour in Markham. "We have a huge issue here with the price of houses, and rental rates are astronomical. We need to stop passing the buck, saying it’s not a municipal issue, saying it’s the region’s issue or the province’s. It’s everyone’s." A member of the heritage committee, Rae said the city has 65 vacant heritage homes and, like most municipalities, an ongoing struggle with "demolition
by neglect" - developers letting them deteriorate until they’re beyond repair. Saving the homes, and helping homeless, is a "win-win," she said. Christine Pacini, partner at SHS Consulting, also took part in the tour, working with the team to find a home that can act as a demo model to be replicated across the country. "Developers buy up a big chunk of land that may have buildings on it and, while they wait for approvals to begin building, the homes can sit vacant for five, 10, 20 years." Rather than leave them to go derelict, or force a developer to turn reluctant, often absentee landlord,
the home can be renovated with help from government, nonprofits and donations from businesses like Home Depot. And instead of an absentee landlord, Raising the Roof or a community organization they’ve partnered with, will oversee the housing, she said. John Taylor, chair of the region’s human services planning board and Newmarket regional councillor, is talking with developers in the northern part of York to get them on board, too. "It’s a really interesting idea . We have made some progress on the housing issue but we have to be more innovative, think outside
the box with creative solutions." Also on board is Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow, who notes that the ideal building would be located near a transit corridor. "I’ve been with the TRCA for more than 20 years, and this is one of the coolest projects I’ve ever been involved with," said Gray. "It’s a great example of different segments of the community coming together with the private sector to make something happen. "At the end of the day, we are about serving the public, and this is a different way for us to leave a lasting legacy."

Court ruling shows anti-SLAPP law working as intended
TheLiberal.
Participating in the discussion about any number of issues of public interest should feel just a little bit safer thanks to a court ruling handed down by an Ontario judge last week. The case in question saw Stouffville teacher Katie Mohammed on the receiving end of a $120,000 lawsuit launched by United Soils Management over comments she had posted to a pair of Facebook groups in September 2016 expressing concern that fill being deposited in a pit on a United Soils-owned property on Ninth Line could contain harmful contaminants. Shortly after Mohammed made her posts, a lawyer for United Soils sent a letter demanding she retract and apologize for her statements, which she promptly did out of fear of litigation. Despite this, United Soils proceeded with legal action anyway. In his written decision released July 25, Justice Thomas R. Lederer questioned United Soils’ pursuit of a lawsuit even after having received its demanded apology and concluded it was "a continuation of its desire to intimidate." "The proceeding is not only without substantial merit. "There is no merit," he added. Lederer also awarded $7,500 in damages to Mohammed via the province’s anti-SLAPP legislation. It’s the first time damages have been awarded to a defendant under the relatively new law, according to Sotos LLP who represented Mohammed, and may set a precedent for future cases. Ontario’s Protection of Public Participation Act came into effect in November 2015 with the intent of permitting the province’s residents to take part in the public discourse without the risk of governments, corporations or powerful individuals using the courts to intimidate and/or censor them with strategic litigation against public participation, or SLAPP, suits. Given that waging a battle in the courts - even a justified one - is almost always an expensive proposition, the spectre of being hit with a SLAPP can have a chilling effect on free speech and prevent civic-minded citizens from getting involved in the process. Numerous examples exist in Ontario, and beyond, where politicians and large corporations alike have turned to the courts and litigation to silence vocal critics and discourage others from getting involved. When this happens, democracy suffers. That’s why this victory for Mohammed isn’t simply a case of a single citizen triumphing over an attempt by a corporation to silence her, but a demonstration the antiSLAPP law is working as it should. And that’s good for all of us. The justice system is about just that: justice. It’s not a cudgel with which the wealthy and powerful can stifle legitimate criticism.

Their freedoms do not spring full-blown from the head of a government official or the Charter, but from the sacrifice of many of our ancestors for 300 years. I do not see the call for respect of that sacrifice, when respect is raised as an issue. When people are flag waving on Canada Day, please give a thought for this: Canada involves not just rights, but responsibilities, sacrifice and gratitude for those on whose shoulders we are all standing.

AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com It’s one of those dinner party or interview questions that tells a lot about you - if you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be? Local theatre company Shadowpath Theatre Productions is bringing that idea to the main stage with its Dinner with Canada series. This year’s dinner theatre series, celebrating Canada 150, takes patrons on a historical ride featuring some of Canada’s greatest figures. "Having dinner makes theatre and history more accessible," said artistic director and playwright Alex Karolyi. "You’re breaking bread with the actors right beside you. It’s not often the audience gets to be that
close to and a part of the creative energy." The first dinner, held earlier this spring, looked at the life of late prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The second instalment on Aug. 6 features civil rights pioneer Viola Desmond. The dinner takes place in the late 1940s, after Desmond embarks on her fight against racial segregation in Nova Scotia. Dinner guests will be treated to an east coast-inspired meal prepared by Petits Chefs Academy and will have the option between a two- or three-course meal. Desmond invites the community to a dinner to discuss her next steps. "It’s fictional dinner, but it could have happened," Karolyi said. "The audience becomes part of Viola’s
world." Along with Desmond, other characters include famed Canadian opera singer Portia White and lawyer turned supreme justice Frederick Bissett. Desmond is not as wellknown a figure as other Dinner with Canada characters Trudeau and Louis Riel. But, in today’s world, the ideas surrounding race and feminism are at the forefront, said Karolyi. "With everything going on, her story is relevant right now," she said. "Canada is a great place, but people forget it wasn’t always." Desmond will be featured on the new $10 bill to be released in 2018 and is the first Canadian female other than the queen to grace our currency.

12 NEWS
‘I feel I’ve been victimized twice’: patient’s daughter l Continued from page 1
have not been tested in court, but are the police’s record of their investigation and interviews. The documents state: – One staff member witnessed three alleged sexual abuse incidents but did not notify anyone for at least eight months. – After learning of the accusations, Mackenzie Health waited a month to contact some family members. – A manager told family members the hospital was "not obliged" by law to contact police unless the patient had been shot. – Once an official police investigation was underway - because of a complaint from a patient, not the hospital - some managers asked police not to contact family members of the alleged victims as it might "jeopardize the reputation of the hospital" and could result in the hospital being sued. – The hospital refused to give information, including the name of the staff member accused and the hospital’s investigation records, to officers. As a result, police were forced to go through the courts to get that information. – After he was fired from Mackenzie Health, Zadeh was able to seek new employment in the industry and was accused of additional assaults. The investigation prompted Police Chief Eric Jolliffe to stress to residents that they can’t rely on others, including public organizations, to share information with police. "Citizens . cannot always rely on others to report criminal offences," he wrote in an email to yorkregion.com about the case. PLEA DEAL On May 31, Zadeh walked away from Newmarket courthouse with a three-year probation order after he pleaded guilty to slapping a patient on the rear end. Justice Joseph Kenkel granted Zadeh, 53, of Newmarket, a conditional discharge, finding that he had already served more days
in jail - four in all - then he would have received for that offence. The Crown said despite going through lengthy pretrial motions and scheduling five weeks’ worth of trial, it had reviewed the 13 charges and found there was little chance for conviction. Crown lawyer Erin Thomas said they agreed to the guilty plea in part because some of those expected to testify had "frailties". Zadeh worked at the Richmond Hill hospital from May 12, 2014 until he was fired Oct. 19, 2015. Between March and October 2015, his co-workers told police they witnessed or were told by patients that Zadeh engaged in several troubling incidents, including inserting his thumb in an elderly lady’s anus, rubbing another patient’s vagina in the shower and according to at least one unconfirmed account, rubbing and sucking on a woman’s breasts. According to the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, there is no legal obligation for PSWs to report incidents of sex assault or other forms of patient abuse to police unless working in a "long-term care facility." Zadeh was also accused of assaulting two more patients - one at Hadley Grange, an assisted living facility in Aurora, and another in the patient’s home. FAMILY CONTACTED POLICE Police were contacted by a victim’s daughter on Dec. 19, 2015, hours after she was told by Mackenzie Health executives that her mother had been "touched inappropriately" by a PSW. "When I first heard that, I thought someone had hit her" the daughter told yorkregion.com. When she asked if police had been contacted, director of quality and risk management Wendy Hooper told her "We’re not mandated to do that unless it’s a gunshot wound." "I said I can’t fathom this," she said. "You have an obligation, at least a moral obligation to tell the police." In January 2016 police

Soja Zadeb, accused and cleared of sexually assaulting elderly patients at Mackenzie Health, walks into the Newmarket courthouse in May. filed the first of a series of ITOs. It states there were four suspected victims, but the patients were not identified by name. According to court documents, although Hooper instructed staff not to share victims’ names with police, the hospital’s patient care manager Charmaine Ambrose gave the names to police. During her interview with police, Ambrose refused to say that Zadeh’s patient care was "sexual in nature," instead choosing to call it "inappropriate and rough" - even though she signed a letter to Zadeh months earlier that stated patient care was "sexual and inappropriate in nature." Const. Stephanie Couture noted in her sworn statement that she thought Ambrose was afraid of "civil liability."
Hooper told police that Ambrose gave police the victims’ names contrary to her instructions. When Hooper was advised police would contact patients, she "attempted to persuade the detective to not contact them, as it would jeopardize the reputation of the hospital," the documents state. Hooper then told police she would be calling patients or their families to advise them police would be contacting them. The investigator asked her not to do so as it would compromise an ongoing criminal investigation. "(Hooper) did not acknowledge she would comply with the request," the document states. NON-DISCLOSURE ORDER As a result investigators sought and were granted a legally binding non-disclosure order from the courts
to prevent her from giving information to the victims. Hooper also told police "she could not remember" if there was a requirement for hospitals to report allegations of a criminal offence. "If given the chance to do things over in this incident, Wendy Hooper would not do anything differently and would still not contact police in regards to the sexual assault allegations," Couture concluded in her statement. Interviews by police with patients and staff indicate key members of the hospital’s leadership team were made aware of the allegations after staff spoke to a complainant, who asked that police not be notified. This included president and CEO Altaf Stationwala, executive vice-president Susan Kowlek, operations director for emergency, medicine and critical care Heather Riddell, manager of employee relations and diversity Julie Cook and human resources director Ashton White, according to the court document. For one patient’s daughter, the ordeal has been a harrowing one, which has left her mother weaker and her questioning not only the Canadian medical but legal system. "It’s really too hard to say what the effects have been," she said. "My family is going through feelings of guilt, they have to look at her daily knowing this. I feel like I’ve been victimized twice, I first had to hear someone violated my mother then I had to hear that he was convicted of nothing." She said she is now taking legal action against the hospital. Mackenzie Health issued a written statement June 15, 2016 and would not provide further comment after repeated requests.
The statement says if Zadeh was a member of a professional college, like a doctor or nurse, the process would have been to report to the college. REVISED PLAN "As PSWs are not a legislated health profession, we were unable to follow this process," the statement reads. "In light of these events, Mackenzie Health has taken the important step of revising the hospital’s police investigation policy to strengthen our ability to share information and report incidents to police." The hospital refused to provide specific details of that revised plan. Hooper did not respond to repeated requests for comment. The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term care said it does expect hospitals to "notify police of any potential criminal matters involving patients that take place within their facilities." However, it stops short of mandating it, explaining that reporting takes "control away from the victim on how they wish to be treated." "The ministry is considering its options with respect to the development of a mandatory registry for PSWs," the ministry said in a written statement. "A mandatory registry will ensure oversight and accountability of this professions and will ensure that patients, their families and employers can be confident that their PSW is qualified and provides safe care." Mackenzie Health operates the Richmond Hill hospital, the under-construction Vaughan hospital, long-term and interim long-term care facilities in partnership with UniversalCare, as well as a regional stroke centre and kidney disease program.
NEXT WEEK The headlines this summer have been jolting - from the Mackenzie Health PSW accused of sexually assaulting elderly patients, to an elderly Ottawa man punched by his PSW, to ex-nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer killing seniors in her care – but advocacy groups, and those who work in longterm care, say it’s just the tip of the iceberg. We look at how predators slip into our health care system and what must be done to make vulnerable seniors safe.
