A decision to remove the totem pole at Summitview Public School this past weekend has

caused quite a stir in Stouffville.

York Region District School Board sent a letter home to Summitview students Sept. 29 telling parents the totem pole at the

front of the school would be removed.

"The decision was made with the support of senior staff and after consultation with the local trustee and indigenous leaders

in our closest community and partner in education, the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation," the letter states.

EDUCATION ne local teacher still has nightmares two years after a violent incident in her special needs classroom.

The teacher, who we’ve agreed not to identify, won’t soon forget the day a student uttered death threats and then threw a piece of furniture at her head. She has been spit at, kicked, bitten, verbally abused and her life has been threatened on more than one occasion. She has also been required to wear spit shields, bite guards and even Kevlar in the classroom.

"The first thing my husband asks me when I get home every day is ’Are you OK?’" she said.

"Try going home and explaining bruises to your family when you are a teacher. They expect me to come home every day in one piece."

In 2013, 194 incidents of violence were reported by York Region elementary teachers; in the last school year there were 536, York Region Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario president David Clegg said.

Teachers are reporting trashed classrooms and broken windows; being grabbed by the throat, physically restrained and stabbed with scissors.

"It’s the No. 1 topic and it’s a troubling issue that isn’t well understood," he added. "The public immediately jumps to student versus student or bullying when discussed."

The teachers’ federation has been holding focus groups and polling to gain a better understanding of the situation. In the focus groups, participants don’t believe students committed the acts.

"This is happening with relatively young children and most don’t perceive a five- or six-yearold much of a threat," he said.

"But once you’ve seen a classroom a student has ripped apart you think differently."

While challenging for teachers, it also impacts the other students in the classroom, the teacher sharing her experiences said. Witnessing aggression, even if it isn’t directed at them, is difficult for children to process and teachers must follow up

Teachers report being kicked, grabbed by the throat, stabbed with scissors, restrained — by students "This is happening with relatively young children and most don’t perceive a five- or six-year-old much of a threat. But once you’ve seen a classroom a student has ripped apart you think differently."

- York Region Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario president David Clegg to explain so students aren’t fearful of returning to class.

"Sometimes, the day after, I call in sick because I just can’t face my students," she said. "It has become much more than teaching, we also have to be mental health supports, which isn’t fair to us or the students because we aren’t experts."

She also points out that teachers like herself who have specialized training to deal with escalating students are pulled from their own classrooms to

TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com help, which means her students’ learning is interrupted.

The federation is beginning to further research the impacts these incidents have on the other children in the classroom, Clegg said. Witnessing these acts or being evacuated from their classroom due to an out of control student must have an impact on their learning.

"Integration of identified

children into mainstream classrooms has many positives but at what point do the negatives outweigh the positives," he said.

"We have to be able to weigh the right of a child to be educated against the collective rights of others to learn in a safe environment."

York Region isn’t alone as Peel is reporting increased incidents as well and Durham teachers are calling for more protective gear to use in the mainstream classrooms, not just

the special education and behavioural classrooms. While many are calling for more resources and protective gear, Clegg isn’t convinced it’s the solution.

"There is this big elephant in the room and it’s difficult to talk about," he said. "No one is asking why this is happening. There has to be a systemic, underlying cause."

The local is planning to host a symposium in February 2018 with representatives from across the region to discuss just that.

Additional resources are provided to teachers in specialized classrooms where students have been identified as special needs or having behavioural challenges, student services superintendent Kate Diakiw said. The majority of these incidents happen in specialized classrooms.

Teachers in mainstream or ’typical’ classrooms have very little training in dealing with violence and aggression, however, those in special education or behavioural classrooms have received crisis prevention training including understanding behaviour, student escalation signs, responding to defensive behaviour, appropriate response to a student acting out and how to perform control positions.

"Physically intervening is the absolute last resort," she said.

"We never want to put a hand on a child and will only do so if they are going to hurt themselves or others."

Identified students have plans that spell out what actions should be taken to deal with that child’s behaviour, who will respond if needed and what to do should specific situations arise.

"In many plans it is written to call the police but we rarely get to that point," she said.

It is mainly these trained teachers who are using the protective gear. Specialized supports are brought in following an incident to re-evaluate plans and support teachers.

She admits the system isn’t perfect but says the board is doing well with what it has, adding it is always monitoring violent incidents and analyzing any increase.

York Region residents recycle 91 per cent of their garbage

Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, October 5, 2017 |

ALI RAZA aliraza@yrmg.com It seems York Region residents remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

The region has reported that 91 per cent of waste destined for the landfill was successfully diverted in 2016. It just exceeds the 90-percent goal the region placed for the year.

Blue bin recyclables accounted for 84,000 tonnes, organics (green

bin), 97,000 tonnes and yard waste 37,000 tonnes of the wast diverted.

Household hazardous waste and waste electronics made up 1,200 tonnes and 1,400 tonnes, respectively.

The rate is impressive when compared to the Region of Peel, which for 2016 scored a waste diversion rate of 50.2 per cent just missing its intended goal of 52 per cent. The region credits its waste reduction to a variety of initiatives, including the SM4RT Living

Plan, which laid out 32 initiatives for the region to complete between 2014 and 2018.

Additionally, through the Durham York Energy Centre, the region captures energy content from waste after its recycled, allowing for a higher waste diversion rate.

For residents wondering where to properly discard of their waste, the region offers a Bindicator at York.ca, a search tool to help you find out which waste goes where.

Recycling assistant Sarah North and York Region waste management project co-ordinator Nikki Vecchiola at the Elgin Mills Community Environmental Centre, one of several depots where residents can drop of drywall, metal, shredded paper, electronics, wood and more to be recycled.

Hulshof Farm Market bidding adieu SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com Tractors in fields can only mean one thing: it’s harvest season. But the 2017 harvest season is bittersweet for Jim and Elaine Hulshof. It will be their last one on the corner of Bloomington Road and Highway 48 for Hulshof Farm Market as the family is selling the land for estate reasons.

"I have been farming this land for 43 years," Jim Hulshof said.

Jim’s dad always grew cauliflower. When they had too much supply back in the 1980s the Hulshofs decided to see if people would stop and buy some roadside. "It was quite a surprise to see that we could sell it to directly to the public," he said.

That’s how Hulshof

Farm Market was born.

The farm specializes in cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, sweet corn and pumpkins and have developed a loyal following for people in search of fresh local food.

"We don’t want to sell but we have to," Hulshof said. "There’s a lot of sad people. Some of them can’t believe we are closing."

While they are closing their location on Bloomington Road Nov. 30 it doesn’t mean you won’t see a new Hulshof Market elsewhere.

The couple is aggressively looking in the area but the land prices make it a big challenge. "It’s going to be a huge transition," he said. "The future is up in the air."

It’s an extremely busy time for the farm with many of their crops finally

ready for harvest so Hulshof said they haven’t had too much time yet to look for a new location. "We have been looking since the spring. But after Thanksgiving we will start to look more aggressively," he said.

For customers who want to keep abreast of what’s happening with the future of the market, Hulshof said they should visit the market’s Facebook page.

Until then Jim and Elaine will be busy in the fields and at the stand as they delivery vegetables to their hungry consumers.

Brussels sprout season is just around the corner.

"They are so sweet in November," he said. "It’s been a trying year."

The last harvest is underway.

Roads construction shortfall must be addressed Residents may be in for a rough ride over the next decade or so as York Region grapples with a $1.5-billion shortfall in its forecasted 10-year roads construction budget.

While characterized as a "worst case scenario," by director of transportation and infrastructure Brian Titherington, the lack of adequate funding for road work could lead to 56 projects being delayed beyond 2031.

That’s not likely to be greeted as good news in a region whose residents list traffic as being one of their biggest concerns. Some parts of York are already congested to a standstill during the morning and afternoon rush hours (if not all day) and the problem will only intensify as the region’s population grows from its current 1.11 million to its projected 1.79 million by 2041.

Now, the region is spending more on transportation than it ever has, according to Titherington. But, he stressed, the dollars just aren’t there to continue doing so at the usual pace. Instead, some relief will need to come via transit, carpooling, off-peak travel and emerging technologies.

However, those options may not ever satisfy a significant number of residents, especially in a region that was predominantly built around the idea of commuting from one place to another by personal vehicle.

For whatever reason, the region seems woefully unprepared for this shortfall. Yes, it is poised to collect $300 million less in development charges than it had anticipated. But this should be a surprise to no one, as there had been numerous warnings issued over the past few years about the potential for the pace of growth to slow.

Similarly, the region only passed its transportation master plan last year, which included a list of projects needed to meet the demands presented by growth; so why are we only hearing now that the cost of the needed improvements is about twice the available budget?

We agree that hiking taxes above reasonable levels isn’t the answer to the problem and borrowing more money on top of the region’s existing $2.9-billion debtload isn’t a viable option given the spectre of a credit downgrade that would result in higher borrowing costs.

Asking the province for additional taxation powers could yield results, depending on what form they take, but the region should also look within for efficiencies and ensure that growth is in fact paying for growth.

One thing’s for sure: the solution isn’t simply to shrug and kick 56 cans down the road.

Residents deserve better. After all, no one plans to fail; they fail to plan.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Integrity commissioner’s report provides answers Re: Whitchurch-Stouffville council votes to dock mayor 30 days pay, Sept. 27.

Town of WhitchurchStouffville council, led by the Mayor Altmann has failed the great Canadian democracy as we knew it.

I hope the present or next council proclaim this day as the darkest political day for our town.

It has been said that good can be found in all things so here is what I see in this case.

The report by the integrity commissioner on the actions of the mayor of Whitchurch-Stouffville on Sept. 26, 2017, provide clear answers to many unan-

swered public questions over the past year or two on this dysfunctional municipal government. A massive staff exodus, five CAOs in three years, loss of millions of dollars of corporate knowledge and experienced staff, useless legal battles and costs, unnecessary compensation packages, complete lack of focus on municipal services are just to name a few.

All is addressed in this report.

The main principle of a democratic system is to elect individuals with a vision for betterment of the community, ability to lead through stormy days (not create one!) and provide the community necessities.

It is now quite evident that we have failed to do so.

Of course, a social revolution would not be needed

Subway extension nothing to celebrate Re: Vaughan subway will be ready to roll on Dec. 17 says TTC, Sept. 11.

There’s nothing really

to celebrate or fuss about the opening of this subway extension beyond York University (even then, the students there were managing pretty well from Wilson or Downsview for many years.)

After all this hassle, inconvenience, road congestion (beyond YU) up to the final extension for several years (not to mention countless dollars of tax payers’ money) are we to understand that it would carry 100,000 passengers a year for VMC? That’s only 274 passengers a day.

It may be a good sales pitch for local property price increase, but seems hardly a justifiable investment when such money could have been expended in other cost-effective projects.

2017 Markham Fair ranks among best Over the past 88 years I’ve attended 74 Markham Fairs.

During this time I’ve had the honour of serving in several capacities including collecting admissions at the old Highway 7 site; twice entering 4-H competitions; once participating in a men’s only chocolate cake-baking contest; twice judging pet shows; twice judging fair queen contests plus taking scores of photos during four decades of self-ascribed newspaper assignments.

While somewhat outside The Tribune’s main coverage area, I’ve always considered Markham’s Fair my fair. And nothing could prevent me from being there, even back in 1977 when resolute patrons sloshed through mud up past their ankles.

However, this urban/ rural exhibition was, and still is more than a display

of creative skills and showmanship. It’s a form of co-operation the like of which most communities could only dream.

As president Darren Little appropriately stated in Thursday’s ceremonial address, more than 900 volunteers are now taking part.

President Little cut the traditional yellow ribbon accompanied by wife Natalie, twin sons Daniel and Archer, father Rob and uncle Barry.

So what about me? Has the presidential post ever crossed my mind? Not really. But I once had the opportunity when Goodwood past-president Ivan Norton asked if I’d accept an official nomination. I turned him down. So again this year I was still on the outside looking in.

And what did I see? A Markham Fair among the best in my 74-year memory.

JIM THOMAS Roaming Around What made it so? The event inventory is lengthy. I’ll mention but a few.

Stouffville’s Laura Empringham was selected the fair’s 2017 ambassador.

This vibrant 19-yearold, daughter of Murray and Kim Empringham, Kennedy Road, is a graduate of Stouffville District Secondary School and is currently enrolled in an agricultural course at Ridgetown Campus, University of Guelph.

Laura will represent

Markham Fair at the 2018 Canadian National Exhibition. A York Region 4-H club member, she added to her weekend laurels by being named reserve grand champion show person in the dairy class competition.

The fair’s junior ambassador is 12-year-old Luke Ducheck, a Grade 7 student attending Ramerwood Public School, Markham.

In the award winning quilt division, class champions were: Kathy Nelles, Markham; Jean Stephens, Cannington and Carol DeGeer, Scarborough. A red ribbon entry by Markham-Stouffville quilters has been generously donated to Markham-Stouffville Hospital.

Their work was completed at Stouffville’s Share and Care.

The heaviest squash/ pumpkin was entered by Andrew Wannop of

Stouffville. It "tipped" the scales at 283 pounds.

Andrew also placed first with the largest max pumpkin.

No one could match Lenna Rose of Mt. Albert and her big potato weighing three pounds, 5.4 ounces. Jared Simpson, Stouffvile, placed second and Murray Norton, Goodwood, third.

Stouffville’s Andrew Wannop was again a winner with his garden vegetable display.

Jean Painter won the 150th birthday Canada award. Carolyn Ratcliff’s entry was second.

Laura Volpe of Stouffville won the coveted Reesor Family prize.

Other winners included: David Breau, Markham, Otter Greenhouse Ltd. award; Gwen Farrow of Scarborough both the Richter Greenhouse and Vera Clarkson accolades.

Merna Burkholder’s

butterscotch pie was a red ribbon winner as were Lorrie Bolender’s pumpkin pie; coconut cream pie and butter tarts along with Sheri Catalano’s spice cake and Phil Redshaw’s white bread loaf, the latter three from Stouffville, Old MacDonald’s Farm was again a top drawing card, especially Don Miller’s 2,000-pound Clydesdale horse and Tom Watpool’s sow and 10 piglets.

For a second year in a row, Stouffville’s Motus O Theatre packed ’em in with colourful song and dance routines spanning all four days.

The theatre is moving to Orangeville three years hence.

Although an attendance figure was not immediately available, it’s believed the turnstile count will exceed 50,000.

Great job directors, officers and volunteers.

l Continued from page 1

The letter says while the totem pole was initially constructed with positive intentions, our understanding of how cultural appropriation affects our learning environments has developed significantly.

"The totem was pole was created without consultation or involvement of members of Indigenous Nations, including members of the Indigenous Nations of the west coast, for which the totem pole is unique."

The pole was removed from the school over the weekend. Two YRDSB sources said the process was started after a complaint.

Many in the Stouffville community were taken aback by the decision.

Ed Lehming, a former

Summitview council member, helped lead a community effort to fix up the totem pole 10 years ago. Lehming was concerned about the lack of community involvement in the decision as the board never asked the community about what to do about the totem pole.

"One of strategic pillars of the York board is community engagement," he said. "If you want to alienate a community, that’s how you do it."

On Facebook, many people voiced their frustrations with what they labeled a politically correct decision.

"Where’s the line between ’a part of our heritage’ and ’cultural appropriation?’ Shelley Ordorica asked.

Others believed the board did the right thing.

"I am so happy that this

"I blame the York Region board. They haven’t appreciated the fact this school is in a small community and people are especially resentful of the way it happened," she said. "There were so many things that could have happened to allow the community to have some input and it wouldn’t have caused this division."

– Bernadine Mumford is finally happening. It’s been a long time coming.

Indigenous people have faced so much racism and oppression at the hands of the Canadian government. People may have been well-intentioned at the time, but in this age of reconciliation, it’s important that we acknowledge that stereotypical representations of Indigenous people is never acceptable," Liane Zafiropoulos said.

Bernadine Mumford

was the teacher who started the totem pole project at Summitview in 1973.

Mumford called the local utility company, which donated a cedar pole. The kids worked on the project in the school’s furnace room, but, eventually, it got so big Mumford said the project had to be moved to the Barry family’s garage on Main Street.

"The kids worked in shifts and came back when the bell rang," she said.

After months of carv-

ing and painting, the pole was finally ready to go up in the spring of 1974.

Mumford was upset about the process that led the pole’s removal.

"I blame the York Region board. They haven’t appreciated the fact this school is in a small community and people are especially resentful of the way it happened," she said. "There were so many things that could have happened to allow the community to have some

input and it wouldn’t have caused this division."

The board didn’t see it that way.

"As society, we are becoming more aware of reconciliation with first nations," YRDSB chair and Whitchurch-Stouffville and East Gwillimbury trustee Loralea Carruthers said.

The letter, which was signed by principal Melanie Duckett-Wilson, superintendent of education Shawn Bredin and superintendent of Indigenous programs Drew McNaughton said the decision will also bring new opportunity.

"The removal of the totem pole provides a renewed beginning for our current students and staff to learn about and from members of our Indigenous Nations," the letter said.

Walk for Lorraine and Gary travels through Stouffville

BRAD BARTON Lorraine Barton and Gary Norris were special people.

Kind.

Caring, Community-oriented.

They’ll be remembered during an event that will pass through three central Ontario municipalities during one day this fall.

Brad Barton plans to walk 58 special kilometres in honour of these two people who were instrumental in his life this fall. You can join him.

On Oct. 14, Barton will hike from Stouffville to Cannington.

The route is not insignificant.

The Vancouver Canucks’ draft pick lives in Stouffville.

He’ll walk through Uxbridge, where he grew up, and into Brock Township, including Cannington, where he later lived.

A Walk for Mom and Gary remembers his mother, Lorraine, and longtime friend Mr. Norris.

Lorraine Barton passed away in Uxbridge in 2014 following a courageous battle with lung cancer.

Cannington’s Gary Nor-

Lorraine Barton and Gary Norris will be remembered during an event that will pass through three central Ontario municipalities on Oct. 14. ris, a former Stouffville resident with strong ties to the business and sports community in Uxbridge, died a year ago following a lengthy fight with diabetes.

The walk is a fundraiser for Hearth Place Cancer support centre wwwhearthpace.org in memory of Mrs. Barton and the Brock Minor Hockey Association www.brockminorhockey.com in memory of Mr. Norris.

Do you want to continue living comfortably and safely in your own home?

l GET

Barton, 45, attempted the same walk last year, falling eight kilometres shy of Cannington.

He’s added additional training this time around.

"This year I have decided to go the distance," he said.

SIMON MARTIN smartin@yrmg.com Barack Obama, Prince Harry, Hayley Stover?

The Invictus Games turned out to be an evening of a lifetime for Stover who ended up sitting beside Prince Harry and Obama at a wheelchair basketball game.

The 18-year-old Stouffville native headed down to the games with her parents, Arman and Diane, Sept. 29. "We heard that Prince Harry would be coming and possibly Barack Obama," she said. "We hit the jackpot."

It was almost completely by chance that Stover was able to score seats next to royalty. The seating at the Pan-Am Centre was general admission and Stover said she noticed a crunch of photographers assembling on the other side of the arena.

So she decided to go over to the other side. Little did shew know that Prince Har-

ry, Obama, Joe Biden and Jill Biden would plop down beside her.

"It was very surreal and very cool," she said. Most teenagers’ inclination would be to pull out their phone and tell all their friends but Stover made a conscience effort not to do that. "I really did take it all in. I told myself you’ve got to be here in the moment," she said.

At one point Stover did get a selfie with them because why not, but said she didn’t want to bother them too much because she knew they were two world leaders that needed to talk.

"It was really cool to hear them talk about girls in athletics," Stover said. "(They were saying) playing any sport increases a girl’s confidence and decreases their chance of being sexually assaulted."

That resonated with Stover who was very involved in sports at Stouffville District Secondary School where she

Justin Greaves/Metroland

Hayley Stover (far right) sits next to Prince Harry, Barack Obama and Jill Biden at the Invictus Games in Toronto. played field hockey, badminton, volleyball, tennis and basketball.

The Stover family are big fans of the Royal Family. Every Christmas, the Stovers

sit down and watch the Queen’s message. Hayley also remembers waking up at 3 a.m. to watch Will and Kate’s royal wedding with her family. After the game

between France and the United States wrapped up, the crunch of royal press turned their attention to Stover who had been within earshot of Prince Harry and

Obama the whole night.

"That was very odd after the game. A couple people came by for interviews," she said.

Stover was quoted in big United Kingdom tabloids like the Daily Mail and the Mirror saying Obama asked the Prince about girlfriend and actress Meghan Markle It was an evening that Stover will never forget. She said she can’t really remember rubbing shoulders with any celebrities before. " (Markham-Stouffville MP) Jane Philpott gave me my first needle when I was younger so there is that," she laughed.

It’s back to reality now for Stover who is heading to British Columbia Institute of Technology in a couple of weeks to take carpentry framing and forming foundation. The Stover family roots are deep in Stouffville as the they started the Stouffville Bakery in 1921 and it was in operation until 1970.

D

anny and Talya’s lives have dovetailed.

They went to many of the same programs, camps and schools growing up.

They both have developmental disabilities and were integrated into schools alongside children without disabilities.

But as they approached the end of high school, each of their mothers - Kathy Laszlo and Susie Sokol - worried about their futures.

Laszlo and Sokol had the same wish: They wanted their children to maintain social, active lifestyles after high school.

Children with a developmental disability are entitled to an education under age 21, but once they reach that age, the entitlement stops, Laszlo said.

"It is like sitting on the side of a cliff. There is nothing. No continuity," she said. "They don’t have rights to anything.

We wanted to be proactive and do something for them," Laszlo said.

But they had trouble finding programs.

So, they created a parent action group of seven parents.

From there, they hoped someone would take on their vision of providing programs for adults with developmental disabilities who have finished high school.

No organization was interested, Laszlo said.

So, the women decided to launch the idea themselves.

In the beginning, it was mainly a social group. In August 2006, the group held a week-long summer camp for people with developmental disabilities. They had no money, Laszlo said. University students were willing to help for no pay. The camp included cooking sessions in Laszlo’s kitchen.

By 2008, Danny and Talya had finished high school and still had nowhere to go. Danny was home for a few months while Talya tried to work from home.

"It was a disaster," Laszlo remembers, noting Danny

Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland

Kathy Laszlo (from left) with her son, Danny, and Susie Sokol with her daughter, Talya, spend time in the DANI computer room. DANI, an organization that creates programs for adults with disabilities, has a facility at the Garnet Community Centre in Thornhill.

DIVERTING DANNY Program opens doors for adults with disabilities SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com doesn’t want to watch the Price is Right all day.

She managed to find Danny a government program, but Laszlo ended up reporting it for being "borderline abusive", she said. The program offered no programming and the employees rarely interacted with the adults with developmental disabilities, she said.

So, Laszlo and Sokol took the next step in their vision. They rented a Toronto house and launched a three-day-per-week program. Participants got involved in catering, creating

school lunches from the home’s small kitchen, with profits going back into the program. Word got around and other parents became interested in the program.

The catering orders increased and soon, they couldn’t meet the demand for the day program or the number of catering orders.

Ninety-five per cent of the program participants were from Thornhill, so it made sense to move the program there, to Garnet Williams Community Centre near Yonge Street and Clark Avenue in May 2013.

Like Laszlo and Sokol,

Graeme Treeby can relate to the frustration of hunting for hardto-reach services.

The youngest of his three children, Jenny, 30, has cerebral palsy, a developmental delay and other issues. She attends a day program in Newmarket.

Like Danny and Talya’s parents, Treeby and his wife also worry about Jenny’s future.

"There’s a slim chance we won’t live forever," he jokes.

"Just in case, we plan to make sure Jenny has a decent quality of life."

So, back in 1990, when Jenny

was three or four, Treeby began researching ways to make this happen.

"We found out quickly nobody knew what to do, how to help us," he said.

He decided to find the information himself.

This mission saw him give up his accounting career and by 1993, he was travelling the province full-time, giving people advice on how to plan for their children’s financial future, helping them answer that ultimate question: what happens when I’m gone?

In 1997, he formed Special Needs Planning, based out of Stouffville. (http://www.specialneedsplanning.ca/) The Stouffvile resident finds it frustrating how few resources there are for people also wanting to plan for their loved one’s future financial security.

"There aren’t enough hours in the day to respond to the email or to make calls to set up appointments," he said.

Laszlo and Sokol now know all about the race to meet ballooning demand.

They had 11 participants in their program when they moved to Thornhill in 2013. Today, there are 31 participants. Their organization, DANI, now offers a supported employment program, as well as evening, social, music and Sunday programs.

The non-profit has a $1.2million budget, with no government funding.

It operates a kosher dairy café at Garnet and a pop-up restaurant that can travel to your workplace or an office close by. The pop-up is so popular that they are now booking into 2018.

The pop-up also helps fights prejudice, according to Laszlo.

Some people may have never seen someone with a disability working, Laszlo said.

"To see them in action changes people’s view of adults with a disability," she said.
