An Ontario government grant is enabling an Etobicoke notfor-profit agency reporting an ever-growing need for settlement services to help even more newcomers.

JobStart’s $130,000 grant will enable its settlement counsellor to support approximately 800 newcomers and 1,800 one-onone sessions over the next two years.

JobStart has helped approximately 1,500 newcomer clients, mostly families, since the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration first funded its newcomer settlement program in 2013.

“We’re so grateful to the ministry and so thrilled that this funding will enable us to continue to provide newcomer settlement services. It is definitely a growing need,” said JobStart executive director Heather Sant.

“Settlement services are critical. We’d love to be able to expand our services because there is such a need.” >>>services, page 37

Declining enrolment at Don Bosco puts school’s future in question

Newsroom seeks military families for future story Are you one of several generations in your family who have served the Canadian Armed Forces?

Metroland Media Toronto is looking to highlight military families with a history of service over the years this Remembrance Day, with an eye to showcasing the dedication and sacrifices made for Canada.

We hope to share the stories of these multi-generational groups of servicemen and women, and their reasons for joining the armed forces.

If you or your family members have a history of serving, please contact us at newsroom@insidetoronto.com by Thursday, Oct. 20.

Closing and selling the school is a ‘last option’ Cynthia Reason creason@insidetoronto.com The fate of an Etobicoke high school once famous for its Rob Ford-coached football team hangs in the balance this year, as its enrolment continues a decade-long precipitous decline.

The current roster of students at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School tallies in at just over 90 grades 11 and 12 students – or 11 per cent of the school’s capacity of 840 students.

Those numbers represent a stark contrast to the enrolment picture at the school in 2007, when it boasted 948 students in grades 9 through 12 (or 113 per cent capacity).

In response to those declining numbers, the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) has approved the initiation of a Pupil Accommodation Review for Don Bosco, during which board staff are required to provide one or more options to address the challenges associated with the school.

According to a TCDSB report tabled back in June, the current staff recommendation is to “close the Don Bosco facility effective for the 2017-18 school year due to significant undersubscription.”

But TCDSB spokesperson John Yan said that while a PROVINCE N WIDE PLA

“hard closure” of Don Bosco is an option, it’s not one currently on the table.

“An absolute shut down and sell off? No. Don Bosco is currently not for sale,” Yan said. “That sort of stuff would be, I think, the last option – and that would be way down the road.”

To discuss options currently on the table, Yan said the TCDSB has scheduled a public meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. at Don Bosco, 2 St. Andrews Blvd. (off Islington Avenue, north of Dixon Road).

community-based decision making,” Yan said.

“At that time, the superintendent and board officials – and hopefully parents and staff – will be there to discuss some options for moving forward with perhaps new programming for Don Bosco.”

While many factors could be at collective fault for Don Bosco’s declining enrolment over the years – including changing neighbourhood demographics and the implementation of a nowdefunct self-directed learning program at the school – Yan said the pupil accommodation review committee’s

task will be to look at new programming models that might help reverse that trend at Don Bosco.

One of those potential new models could mean the future implementation of the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program at Don Bosco.

SHSM is a ministr yapproved specialized program that allows students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector (i.e., agriculture, business, construction, hospitality and tourism, transportation, etc), while meeting the requirements to graduate from secondary

school.

“There is currently already a hospitality/culinary arts program at Don Bosco and it’s one of their most popular courses,” Yan said. “And at one point, Bosco also had a very successful automotive program, so that could have SHSM potential, as well.”

“All the options are going to be put on the table,” he added, noting that the accommodation review committee’s final report is expected to be presented to the TCDSB board of trustees by early January.

Give students a chance to succeed

W

hen we’re young we make a lot of mistakes - big ones, little ones, and some that can be life altering.

Unprotected sex can lead to unwanted pregnancy or disease. Drug and alcohol abuse can do permanent harm to a growing body and lead to life-long addiction.

These are human mistakes, and as much as we might wish, they are impossible to guard against, particularly for young people whose judgement may not yet be refined. Surely, we should not design a school system that also provides risks of permanent harm to still-unwise young people who make a bad choice in setting their academic course.

The curriculum change in 2003 - which followed the end of the Ontario Academic our view Credit - was intended to end student streaming with the addition of applied and academic learning, Opportunities but as one education advocate this change has effectively hindered with says, laid a trap for students.

The elimination of a fifth year curriculum of high school, along with a cap change on credits the province will fund (34 is the maximum unless the board approves it), essentially ties the hands of a student trying to get ahead. If a student decides early on to eschew academic courses for the apparently easier applied courses, upgrading later on may be hindered by bureaucracy.

As Annie Kidder, founder and executive director of advocacy group People for Education, said in Metroland Media’s feature article on this issue “we need to allow for the vast amount of change that happens to young people”.

The group’s report ‘Applied or Academic: High Impact Decisions for Ontario Students’ surveyed Ontario schools and found only 20 per cent of schools with grades 7 and 8 reported having a guidance counsellor on staff, and most of those positions were part-time.

If a student in Grade 8 doesn’t have the maturity to envision their life after four years, then provisions need to be put in place to give these young minds the right support, at the right time.

The Ministry of Education has heard from several boards wanting the applied and academic streams to be scrapped in Grade 9, to give kids a level playing field in their first year, then they can decide how to move forward. It would be a mistake to take options and opportunity away from students just as they’re getting started.

Trump tape recalls Rob Ford’s video woes The U.S. presidential election – particularly, the rise of its Republican standardbearer – has felt a bit like a funhouse mirror for many of us watching in Toronto.

Donald Trump, with his nativist populism, his “plainspokenness,” which frankly came across more as ugliness and bigotry but worked more like Teflon... well, it was something that we’d seen before here, first in 2010 when the late Rob Ford won the mayoralty against more qualified candidates and again in 2014 when his brother Doug Ford came close to doing the same thing.

Of course it’s not the same thing. Neither of the Ford brothers were even half as incoherent as Trump has been, and neither made such a direct pitch to the so-called Alt-Right white supremacist crowd. But the trajectory, the ability to gather support to unlikely levels, had some similarities.

And last week, another similarity emerged: the calamitous revelation, on

david nickle the city tape, of behaviour that to most people is beyond the pale.

For Trump, that came in the leaked Access Hollywood tape, in which Trump boasts to then-host Billy Bush of his ability to use fame to get away with what amounts to sexual assault on women he finds attractive. For Rob Ford, it came in the form of a series of recordings: the long-denied video in which he smoked crack; a drunken video of a walk on the Danforth; a drunken rant at an Etobicoke restaurant disparaging then Toronto police chief Bill Blair; and, maybe most damningly, a lewd and drunken rant about Karen Stintz, the Toronto Councillor and former TTC Chair who was running against him for the mayoralty.

It looks at this point as though the 11-year-old tape of Trump bragging about

being able to grab women by the genitals has become a deal-breaker, at least with his nominal Republican allies and most likely with the electorate. It is worth remembering, however, that while Ford’s many drug-andalcohol-fuelled videos did isolate him from his allies on council, it did no such thing with the electorate.

Ford didn’t even have to appear especially contrite in order to reclaim the love of the so-called Ford Nation portion of the electorate.

When he returned from rehab, his apology for his behaviour morphed halfway through into a stump speech – something that Trump mirrored in his own apology the Saturday morning after the tape appeared, when he characterized the tape as locker-room talk and then dismissed it as a distraction from his message.

We’ll never know whether Rob Ford could have won a second term as mayor after the self-inflicted damage of his first term – his cancer

diagnosis saw to that. But his brother Doug’s campaign made John Tory’s election to the mayoralty in 2014 a near thing, despite Doug’s own very Trump-like campaign gaffes.

The election of Rob Ford’s nephew Michael, in the summer byelection for his old Ward 2 seat, was never really a question.

It’s hard to say whether Donald Trump will, with weeks still to go in the campaign, be able to rally in the United States in the same way that the Fords had been able to in Toronto. Probably he won’t.

But whether he does or not, it’s a sure bet that the sizeable minority of voters who’ve held tight with Donald won’t let a little tape, no matter how vile its contents, sway their loyalty to the Trumps. Like Ford Nation here in Toronto, they’re not going anywhere.

Richview Baptist kids trick-or-treat for a cause Halloween initiative will also allow for food drop-offs at Kipling Avenue church Cynthia Reason creason@insidetoronto.com Young Richview Baptist Church parishioners will be trick-or-treating for more than just candy this Halloween – they’ll also be collecting non-perishable food items for charity.

Now in its second year, R i c h v i e w ’s Ha l l ow e e n Harvest Festival will see older youths distributing paper donation bags to about 400 households surrounding the Kipling Avenue church later this month, while the younger, costume-aged kids will collect the donation-filled bags as they go door-to-door on the night of Oct. 31.

“We want our youth to understand that there are a lot of people in our communities that are disadvantaged and don’t have access to food,” said Iain Davis, the Richview Baptist Church

intern who’s heading up this year’s event.

“We’re privileged in the sense that we can go to the grocery store and pick up anything that we want, but we kind of have to teach the kids when they’re young that that isn’t the way it is for everyone.”

Like last year’s inaugural Halloween Harvest, which netted enough foodstuffs to fill six large donation boxes, this year’s event will once again benefit the Daily Bread Food Bank, an Etobicokebased charity that provides food and support to almost 200 food programs across Toronto.

Some of Daily Bread’s most-needed food items include: canned fruits and vegetables, pasta and pasta sauce, rice, cereal, oatmeal, granola bars, canned meat and fish, dried/canned beans, peanut butter, and baby food.

Residents living in the immediate area surrounding Richview Baptist Church (roughly bounded by Kipling Avenue to the east, The Westway to the north, Martin Grove Road to the west and Clement Road to the south) are asked to be on the lookout for Daily Bread donation bags, which Richview Baptist youth members will begin distributing on Oct. 25.

Those wishing to participate in the Halloween Harvest are asked to place food donations in the bags for collection by Richview youth s on Halloween night.

For interested participants living outside of those boundaries, Davis said the church’s doors will be open to drop-off donations on Oct. 31 from about 6 to 8 p.m.

The church is located at 1548 Kipling Ave., north of Eglinton Avenue West.

A long-time insurance executive is the latest appointee to the TTC’s board of commissioners.

At its monthly meeting held last week, Toronto Council unanimously endorsed the TTC’s recommendation to appoint Joanne De Laurentiis to the TTC board. De Laurentiis was picked to fill a vacancy following vice chair Maureen Adamson’s resignation back in May. She will sit on the board for a fouryear term, which finishes at the end of 2020.

According to her LinkedIn profile, De Laurentiis is currently the vice chair of National NewsMedia Council. Prior to that, she was CEO of the Investment Funds Institute of Canada for 10 years before retiring earlier this year.

more Bloor bike lanes.

As a pilot project, the city installed separated lines on Bloor Street between Shaw Street and Avenue Road over the summer, and to celebrate the group will make use of the new infrastructure for the weekend ride. A similar event last year raised $35,000 for pro-bikelane campaigns, and this year CycleTO hopes to raise $50,000. CycleTO says it will use the fundraising to push for the expansion of the Bloor lanes further east to Yonge Street as well as on to the Danforth.

Registration is still open for the ride, which takes place 11 a.m. Saturday.

Toronto’s latest pedestrian fatality sadly took place this week after a 65-yearold woman was struck in

According to police, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene; at that point no charges had been laid against the driver.

This is the city’s 34th pedestrian fatality this year.

A herd of some 100 goats was sighted Tuesday, Oct. 11 on Frog Street in Georgina, Ont., a town of just over 43,000 in York Region.

According to local reports, the goats had cleared the road by the time police had arrived and a search was underway for the runaway herd’s owner.

Before You Spend Thousands on a New Roof…

The Integrity Roof System

What Risks Do You Face?

According to the Better Business Bureau, which tracks the ‘reputable’ roofing companies, roofing is at or near the top of the list for customer enquiries and complaints for the last five years in a row. Homeowners with limited experience in roof replacement rely on the roofing contractor to recommend the proper specifications. This process becomes confusing because there is no regulation in the industry, and each contractor recommends a different job.

What you should know about roof surface or roof deck preparation: The roof deck is the structural surface over which your roofing materials are applied. All roof boards and/or plywood must be fastened securely to the rafters, and damaged or rotten wood must be replaced. Your attic should be inspected before the work starts to uncover potential problems.

A bad roof surface allows the nails to push up through the shingles, causing leaks.

What you should know about underlayment: A complete underlay system should be applied before your shingles are installed. There are two types of roofing underlay, waterproof and water resistant. Waterproof underlay is needed in areas most vulnerable to leaks: the eaves edge of the roof; in valleys, at dormer sides, around chimneys and around skylights. Water resistant underlay, often called “tar paper”, is needed on the remaining roof area. Water resistant underlay protects the roof surface in a storm situation where a few shingles blow off, but cannot be replaced immediately.

What you should know about ventilation: Improper attic venting is a common cause of early shingle failure, and your product warranty requires that your attic have proper ventilation. Venting consists of intake and exhaust. To facilitate proper air flow, your attic needs intake vents located in the overhang and exhaust vents at the roof peak. A balanced venting system is required; otherwise air will be pulled from your house.

An inspection of your attic is essential to present appropriate and complete venting solutions.

What you should know about shingle quality: All shingles are not the same. Estimators should include at least three grades of shingles and inform you of the real expected shingle life. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, better quality shingles often provide you with the

special report

APPLIED VS. ACADEMIC:

A look at how student streaming and credit caps are affecting how young people plan for their future TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com

I

t has been 13 years since Ontario eliminated its official 13th year of school – then known as OAC – amid a controversial curriculum change that was supposed to end student streaming.

The official 13th year, called Grade 13 until the 1980s when it was replaced by OAC (Ontario Academic Credit), was phased out in 2003 by the Progressive Conservative government.

But could another change made when OAC was eliminated – introducing applied and academic course options – be making it hard for students to finish in four years with the credits they need to succeed and decreasing the likelihood some students will excel, while effectively continuing to stream students?

Applied and academic credits are meant to be “mix and match,” but most students take courses in one or the other.

Academic credits are typically required for university.

“In a lot of cases, students pick applied because they think it will be easier, and then ironically they are much less likely to be successful in the applied stream. There’s so much evidence that says it’s a bad idea to divide kids, particularly in that first grade of high school.

It limits choices, it closes doors, it sometimes sets kids up for failure,” said Annie Kidder, founder and executive director of advocacy group People for Education. “There are kids who either aren’t graduating, or who are getting to Grade 12 and realizing that there are doors that are already closed to them that got closed when they made

Staff/Metroland

Grade 12 students work independently during teacher Hugh Tran's math class at Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School. These students, if they wish, can return for a fifth year of high school, but the province will only fund up to 34 credits.

that choice in Grade 8.”

The courses replaced vocational, college and university streams, and are meant to teach the same curriculum in different ways. Academic courses study essential and related concepts with a theoretical approach, while applied teach essential concepts in a more practical, hands-on way.

According to Ontar io’s Education Quality and Accountability Office, of students who demonstrate strong math skills in grades 3 and 6, those who take applied math courses in high school are less likely to continue earning high marks. Lowered expectations, and in turn, lowered effort, for kids in applied courses has been floated by education experts as one potential cause for the disparities.

In math, 83 per cent of Ontario Grade 9 students in aca-

demic courses met or exceeded the provincial standard this year, while only 45 per cent of applied students hit the mark. In English, 92 per cent of Grade 10 students successfully completed this year’s Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, while only 47 per cent of applied students were successful.

A study by the Toronto District School Board, Ontario’s largest school board, suggests 60 per cent of students who take applied courses in Grade 9 don’t graduate within five years, compared to 14 per cent of those who choose academic.

It takes 30 credits to graduate high school. A 34-credit threshold was introduced by the provincial Liberals in 2013.

After 34 credits, the government decreases funding to school boards for most students.

Students wanting to earn more than 34 credits must get approval

from their board, and may have to take courses through continuing education.

“Over a decade ago, Ontarians moved to four years of high school, but many students are still taking that additional fifth year, even after graduating,” said a government statement at the time. “We need to shift the culture in our schools and encourage students to graduate and move on to the next stage in their lives after four years.”

Needing to replace applied credits with academic or raise marks in a completed course, or switching career paths and needing different courses, to get to post-secondary programs, can leave students wanting more than 34 credits.

“I think we need to allow for the vast amount of change that happens to young people,” Kidder said. “Obviously it can’t be unlimited and there have to

be boundaries in this, but the problem always with capping anything is are there people who lose from that, and I think in this case 34 may be too low.”

Education Minister Mitzie Hunter and Education Critic Patrick Brown declined to be interviewed for this article, after weeks of correspondence with their representatives, with Hunter citing a lack of availability.

“When selecting their courses in Grades 9 and 10, students are not expected to make binding decisions about a particular educational or career pathway,” said Ministry of Education spokesperson Heather Irwin. “However, they should try to ensure that they have the prerequisites required for future courses they plan to take. Schools must make provisions to allow students to make changes in direction and must clearly describe these provisions in their school program/ course calendar.”

But the provisions, which can include a half-credit summer course, seem to present a barrier. During the 2014-2015 school year, only three per cent of schools reported students often transfer from applied to academic courses, while 43 per cent reported transfers happen never or not very often, according to a People for Education study.

D u r i n g a g ov e r n m e n t announcement about child care Friday, Sept. 23, Metroland Media Central reporter Cynthia Reason asked Hunter if Ontario would consider reviewing the academic and applied separations in Grade 9. Hunter said the ministry is consulting with school boards, some of which, she noted, have requested the separations be eliminated.

Oculus is a Modernist pavilion built in 1959 in South Humber Park. It had been scheduled for city refurbishment this year, which has been delayed due to “historical interests.”

Oculus fix-up delayed to 2017 A city-planned refurbishment of a long-neglected 1959 Modernist pavilion in South Humber Park has been delayed until next year.

The Oculus, as it is known, is a sculptural pavilion with a domed roof and four steel columns fronting a curved stone wall concealing two closed public washrooms in the park north of The Queensway between Stephen Drive and the Humber River behind the Humber Treatment Plant.

Etobicoke-Lakeshore Councillor Justin Di Ciano, who represents the area, said the project was delayed due to “historical interests,” in his October e-newsletter.

City funds to refurbish the Oculus must be used this year, Di Ciano said.

So the funds have been reallocated to install new benches and a family picnic area in nearby Bell Manor Park.

The small community park is in the Park Lawn and Berry roads area, two kilometres west of South Humber Park.

T h i s s u m m e r, t h e Architectural Conservancy of Ontario launched an online petition that argued the city’s Oculus refurbishment plans “will negatively alter portions of the structure.”

The city does not plan to wrap the structure’s steel poles with architectural stone cladding, one of ACO’s objections, Di Ciano said in an earlier interview.

“Parks originally had a document from the past in which one suggestion was to clad the poles. We have no intention of cladding the poles,” Di Ciano said.

Reopening the Oculus’ washrooms in not in the plan.

The washrooms closed years ago due to prostitution and drug use, Di Ciano said.

On November 1, 2013, Expert Mortgage launched the “85Alive”program in Ontario. The concept was simple: as long as you had a pulse, Expert Mortgage would provide you with a home equity loan, up to 85 percent of the value of your property. No job required. Bad credit, OK. The reason why Expert Mortgage could offer a “no questions asked” lending program, while the major banks could not, is that they represent over 200 private lenders who lend strictly on property value. These subprime lenders specialize in mortgage clients who have had some bad luck, and need a helping hand until they get back on their feet.

The program has been so successful that Expert Mortgage can barely keep up with the volume of calls. To help fund this unexpectedly large number of borrowers, it has partnered up with dozens more private lenders.

Licensed Mortgage Agent Puneet Garg, Expert Mortgage’s “85-Alive” representative for the GTA Region, says, “We’re seeing mostly homeowners behind on mortgage and property taxes. The banks are refusing to restructure their loans. Many of these people have lost jobs due to the bad economy... or they’re self-employed. Unless you are a perfect applicant, the bank doesn’t want to talk to you.”

But not everyone condones Expert Mortgage’s easy lending criteria. A local real estate agent with 25 years of experience, who has asked to remain anonymous, says, “When this market turns down, it’s going to get ugly!

It’s utter financial suicide for Expert Mortgage to be giving money away so easily to clients without the ability to make payments. I’d be surprised if they’re still in business five years from now.”

Nonetheless, homeowners

like Anita P. don’t see a problem with the program. When questioned on how she plans on making payments on her mortgage when she has no income, Anita responds, “We were four months behind on our mortgage and they saved our house. My husband has been unemployed for nine months. He won’t be unemployed forever. We used the 85-Alive loan to pay off all our debt. We also had $25,000 left over that we put in the bank for emergencies.

And to make life easy, they worked it out so we have no mortgage payments for 12 months.”

For a year and a half after being diagnosed with herniated discs in her neck and spine that prevented her from walking, Jane Bradford relied on a mix of prescription opiates to reduce her pain.

Given their side effects – Bradford was constantly groggy and had concerns about long-term health impacts of opioid use – she was thrilled when another option came along.

Bradford is now one of a growing number of people across Canada who rely on medical cannabis to help relieve pain and deal with other medical conditions, and while she is still trying to find the perfect type and dosage, she said the difference between opiates and cannabis are night and day.

“I need to think clearly at work, and using (medical cannabis) I don’t feel nearly as groggy or dopey as I would feel under opioids,” she said.

She currently takes drops of cannabis oil, which has helped her to stop using four opioids.

Such experiences are not uncommon, said Dr. Danial Schecter of the Cannabinoid Medical Clinic. Medical cannabis – a term he prefers over the more common “medical marijuana” because of the stigma associated with the latter – has been legal in Canada since 2001, with physicians gaining the power to prescribe it in 2013.

There are hundreds of strains available in various forms, including dried cannabis plants, drops, sprays, patches, edibles and even suppositories. The strains vary based largely on their ratio of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidol (CBD).

“THC is what causes psychoactivity, so there’s a lot of it in cannabis used for recreational purposes, but it also has medicinal properties,” Schecter said.

“It helps people deal with spasms or neuropathic pain and can help control appetite.”

It can also help with some movement disorders and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

CBD, meanwhile, has antiinflammatory properties which can also help relieve pain.

Schecter hopes to see the stigma surrounding medical cannabis wiped out as people learn more about it as a means of relieving pain and coping with other conditions.

“People need to understand the people who use medical cannabis aren’t just looking to get high,” he said. “People are looking for a better quality of life. If they’re just looking to get high, they could do that with a lot of prescription drugs.”

Bradford, for one, does not need convincing.

“It’s been a great help for me,” she said. “It helps me so much more than the other options out there.”

Dr. Danial Schecter

information session Schecter and Bradford will join a panel of experts on the subject of medical cannabis at an upcoming Medical Marijuana Information Session hosted

by Metroland Media Toronto and sponsored by CanniMed. The event will highlight the medicinal benefits of cannabis, and delve into what conditions and symptoms can be alleviated through its use.

The event takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Ontario Science Centre, 770 Don Mills Rd. Admission is free, but seating is limited, so pre-registration is recommended. For more information or to register, visit www.insidetoronto.com/ MedicalMarijuana.

The Kip DisTricT

Now under construction in emerging central Etobicoke

C

oncert Properties is proud to be leading the way in the evolving Central Etobicoke neighbourhood with their master-planned community, The Kip District. This development, now under construction, is located at the intersection of Kipling and Dundas, adjacent to Kipling Station.

The Kip Tower One represents an opportunity to get in early within a neighbourhood poised for growth – after all, savvy investing is all about timing. And with limited time pricing starting from the mid-$200’s, as well as a credit on closing incentive program, there has never been a better time to get in. This is among Central Etobicoke’s best condominium values, and it won’t last long.

The Kip District is a thoughtfully designed community that will feature five architecturally distinctive towers. They will stand proud in Etobicoke’s skyline and will be complemented by a central square and park.

Designed by U31, homes at The Kip District Tower One feature distinctly modern design. Bright, open spaces benefit from over-height eight-ft.-six in. ceilings and flexible, well-designed floorplans.

Balconies and terraces extend living spaces and provide the opportunity to enjoy warmer weather.

Contemporary linear kitchens with exceptional layouts have two-toned laminate cabinetry combined with quartz countertops, integrated dishwasher and built-in oven, stove and microwave to create a streamlined, built-in aesthetic.

Timeless bathrooms feature clean lines and a warm colour palette.

The Kip One also features well-designed common spaces such as the sophisticated double-height lobby as well as thoughtful amenities for your entertainment, fitness and convenience. Spend time with friends

and loved ones on the outdoor barbecue terrace; rooftop party room with catering kitchen, fireside lounge and wet bar; theatre or billiards room. For cyclists, there’s bicycle storage. For those who would rather hit the gym, The Kip District Tower One has that too. Pet owners will appreciate the park, central square and pet wash station.

Homeowners within The Kip District will also benefit from many infrastructure and public realm improvements that are coming to the area. After all, Central Etobicoke has been identified by the City of Toronto as an urban growth centre that will develop to be the focal point for the western part of the City. The area is expected to help accommodate the expected 40 percent population growth the GTA will see by 2041. The Kipling Station Anchor Mobility Hub expansion will result in better connections between TTC, MiWay and GO Transit. The Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration will enhance vehicle traffic flow and accommodate future growth while at the same time make the area welcoming for pedestrians and bikes. The City’s Etobicoke Centre Public Space and Streetscape Improvements Plan seeks to transform Dundas into an active, lively and people-oriented space.

It isn’t often that an opportunity arises to be among the first to buy in an emerging new, transit-oriented master-planned community in a rapidly-developing area.

Take the next steps towards securing a quality home that could also prove to be a great investment by visiting TheKipDistrict.com.

Murder suspect wanted for Etobicoke shooting arrested in British Columbia A Brampton man wanted by police in the shooting death of 31-year-old Maninder Singh Sandhu in Etobicoke last week has been arrested in British Columbia.

RCMP officers arrested Pardeep Chouhan, 34, around 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 7 in Surrey, B.C. in connection with Sandhu’s murder.

In a statement released earlier this week, Toronto police alleged that Sandhu, a BTI Cartage truck driver, was shot and killed by a coworker at the trucking company’s parking lot located at 325 Humber College Blvd. at around 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30.

Sandhu’s body wasn’t discovered until more than 10 hours later, during the early morning hours of Oct. 1, when concerned family members went looking for him.

Police have since confirmed that Sandhu’s cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds to the torso.

Following an investigation that police said had been “greatly assisted” by Sandhu’s community and co-workers in the trucking busi-

Beat Lower Back, Disc And Sciatic Pain Now

hankfully, new natural treatment methods help many find the relief they had been searching for.

Sciatica is a painful condition that affects the sciatic nerve.

The pain usually radiates into one or both buttocks, descends the back of the leg and can sometime be felt in the foot. It is often a severe, knife-like pain, but can also be noticed as numbness or tingling in the leg and foot. It is unpredictable and does not go away even when you change positions or lay down.

Sciatica can result from years of poor posture, muscle strain, pregnancy, excess weight, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a very soft mattress. Sciatica is often a symptom of a slipped disc, pinched nerve or arthritis.

Although pain pills may temporarily cover up the symptoms, our holistic approach can provide a more effective, long term relief. “Our team members apply their individual skills and knowledge to make an accurate diagnosis and administer the right treatment that will get the best result for each patient.”

Dr. Peter Ng has a special interest in natural pain relief and Chinese medicine.

If you suffer from chronic back, neck, arm or leg pain, call (416) 745-1974 or visit our website www.kiplingchiro.com Serving Our Community Since 1979

Fifty years later, Kipling Wildkats revel in their win Cynthia Reason creason@insidetoronto.com The year was 1966 and the Kipling Wildkats senior high school football team wasn’t even projected to make the playoffs, much less win their first-ever championship title.

But on that magnificently muddy Thursday nearly 50 years ago, the boys in double blue defied the odds, the rain, and even broken bones to do just that - bringing home the Etobicoke Township Senior Football Championship to Kipling Collegiate Institute.

“We were predicted to come in last in our division that year. As soon as I heard that, I went back to my teammates and said, ‘Look, here’s what we’ve been predicted to do, and I think we better see if we can’t change that’ - and we did,” recalled the Wildkats’ offensive captain Denis Gluck, who scored both touchdowns in Kipling’s 13-6 victory in the championship game over Scarlett Heights on Nov. 10, 1966.

“We even lost a fellow in that game to a broken leg. We actually heard it crack on the field as it broke - that’s how loud it was.”

Added defensive captain Michael Carter: “I was standing right beside the guy when it happened. It was John Stavroff, and they say his leg was broken in two to five places,” he said, noting that Stavroff, who passed away in 2013, was dragged off the field and into an ambulance in the fourth quarter.

“I can tell you, I heard the sound and it was pretty shocking. It’s one of those things you

never forget.”

Nearly five decades later, Gluck, Carter and 12 other members of that championship-winning Wildkats roster gathered together to share just such rain-soaked recollections of that glorious - yet grimy victory on the field at Royal York Collegiate 50 years ago.

The 10th annual Glen Fox Memorial Golf Tournament brought the former co-captains together with teammates

Bob Tobin, Rick Pearson, Dale Robertson, Jim Thompson, Colin Fraser, Bill Beatty, Brian Delaney, Dave Spencer, Steve Cutler, Fred Marsden, Bob Kelly, Mike Carter and Tony D’Angelo, as well as Coach John Spence, at Lionhead Golf Club in Brampton on a similarly sodden September day a few weeks ago.

“The guys on this team were fast, smart, tough, and 100 per cent committed to win-

ning every time we stepped on to the field,” Carter said in a speech during the annual golf tourney named after Glen Fox - a member of the 1966 championshipwinning Wildkats team who succumbed to cancer more than a decade ago.

“I am sure every member of this team would tell you they learned valuable lessons on and off the field at Kipling - especially from the

great teachers and coaches we were so fortunate to have to guide and support us.”

Coach Spence, who started his teaching career at the then-newly-opened Kipling Collegiate in 1960, remembered building the Wildkats up from a team that didn’t score a single point in its inaugural year into a championshipwinning one just six years later.

“We had a lot of good ath-

letes who worked hard and were good students. Back then there was more of a commitment to the sports - with his group, in particular - and I think that made a big difference for us,” he said, noting that that Wildkat commitment to teamwork has endured for more than 50 years amongst his 1966 players, as evidenced by the strong turnout at this year’s Glen Fox Memorial.

“When I think back on my career at Kipling, it was a school community that always supported each other, and that’s reflected in the golf tournament. It was just that kind of school and these boys – yes, I still call them boys – really started that,” Spence added.

“We weren’t a big team, but there was something in that group that made up for our lack of size. They always had that spirit, you might call it.”

As for the big game itself, Spence recalled it as “rainy and muddy and just miserable.”

“To my recollection, we passed very little and just mucked through with our running game,” he laughed.

“That game really was a case of survival - basically, whoever could hang onto the ball in all that mud. We just happened to come out on top.”

Bad things happen when

old clothes & recycling

get together.

When you throw the wrong items (like clothing, curtains, blankets, etc.) in your Blue Bin, they can get tangled in sorting machines, damage equipment and cause workplace injuries at the recycling facility. Last year, an estimated 45,000 tonnes of garbage was mistakenly put into recycling. That’s a big problem you can help fix.

Learn what goes in your Blue Bin and what doesn’t at toronto.ca/recycleright

Pastor Errol Lawrence, right, and Rev. Carmen Lewis talk at the Etobicoke Strategy rally of longstanding north Etobicoke pastors who formed to break the hold of gun violence on area youth at Toronto West Seventh Day Adventist Church on Saturday.

Rally organizers hope to teach youth ‘there’s a better way’ >>>from page 1 a lot of issues with gangs, guns and drugs,” said Pastor Errol Lawrence in the parking lot of the Toronto West Seventh Day Adventist Church, located in the Martin Grove and Albion roads area last Saturday.

“This rally is saying to the community we’re against violence, drugs and gangs and we want to find a way of getting a hold of people and letting them know there’s a better way.”

The rally was held in response to the shooting that happened three weeks before in the parking lot.

No one was injured, but the church community was shaken by the incident.

“There was a choir practice going on, I was in a board meeting when it happened,” Rev. Carmen Lewis said.

“Where we are now, we realize that the community is fractured, but if we can bring some healing here today that’s helping.”

The event also had guidance counsellors and psy-

“

We want the youth to put down the guns, put down the knife, the drugs, find something better to do with their lives.

– rev. Carmen lewis

chotherapists on hand for those who need professional help to deal with what’s happening around them. Aside from prayers, the rally also hosted a barbecue to help bring community members closer together.

In partnership with the Etobicoke Strategy, a faithled and police-supported initiative aiming to reduce crime in north Etobicoke, the church brought 11 pastors together to pray for the community on various topics such as mental health, bullying, abuse, drugs and gangs.

“We’re praying today that you help us in whatever we can by your grace to stamp

out the things that are taking the lives of our young people... We pray today that you help us to remember to love in peace because indeed you are the prince of peace.” preached Pastor Lawrence to the crowd whose heads were bowed and hands were raised.

Rev. Lewis, the chair of the Etobicoke Strategy, was in attendance and hoped the rally would allow young people to know they can live in a safe community that isn’t overrun by gang and gun violence and that there’s a better way to live your life.

“As faith leaders, we’re here to say we’re part of the pie. We don’t want to live in fear in our community.

We want to be able to live in safety, have our children walk in safety and so we’re here to pray and ask the Lord to intervene on our behalf in this community,” she said.

“We want the youth to put down the guns, put down the knife, the drugs, find something better to do with their lives.”

assessment.

Clients are also assisted in practical life skills, like developing social connections.

“We help clients learn how to apply for a social insurance number, how to open a bank account, how to enroll their children in school, where to access a local food bank if they need,” Sant said.

For services it doesn’t provide, JobStar will help co-

ordinate with other social service agencies.

Etobicoke-Lakeshore MPP Peter Milczyn said in a statement the local lakefront riding “has always been a welcoming and inclusive community supporting more and more newcomers.”

The Ontario government said it is investing more than $22 million over two years to 117 settlement projects delivered by 98 settlement

“By giving newcomers the support they need to begin their new lives as Ontarians, we are helping ensure Ontario’s future economic prosperity, and enriching our province’s social fabric for generations to come,” Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Laura Albanese said in a statement.

Synchro legend hosts workshop for swimmers Stephan Miermont paid a visit to the Etobicoke Olympium The Olympium Synchronized Swimming Club was treated to a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to work with world-renowned choreographer Stephan Miermont last week.

Miermont – a former Cirque du Soleil performer and world championship synchronized swimmer himself – is founder and director of Aquartist, a water show production company spe-

cializing in synchronized swimming, water shows, underwater shows and mermaids.

With Aquartist, Miermont travels the world working with national synchronized swimming teams – most recently several teams competing at this past summer’s Olympic Games in Rio. Since 2003, he has choreographed synchronized swimming routines for teams

in China, Japan, Italy, France, England, Czech Republic and the United States - resulting in two gold medals, 16 silver medals, seven bronze medals and 41 finalist routines from World Championships and Olympic Games.

During his stop at the Etobicoke Olympium last week, Miermont not only worked with the Olympium Synchronized Swimming Club’s talented young swimmers on their routines, but he also ran a Synchro Swim Ontario coaches’ choreography clinic with 48 coaches from across the province.
