This image is of a watercolour of the Woodbridge Agricultural and Machine Works (also called the Abell Factory) in 1874. It was Woodbridge’s largest 19th century employer with 200 workers at time of painting.
ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com Heading west into Woodbridge, bumping along the corduroy road in a stagecoach, you see before you a village that, at first glimpse, appears fairly typical for these parts of recently created Ontario.
Pine Street, the main eastwest road, is dotted with shops: a blacksmith, carriage works, general store, hotel and post office. Tucked back on side streets are villager’s log homes. It’s a warm September morning, shortly after the birth of the Canadian nation. You’re visiting Woodbridge to

find out why there’s so much chatter about this burgeoning village in Vaughan Township, north of Toronto. You quickly discover why. There’s a large factory, plumes of smoke wafting from its chimneys, situated along the banks of the Humber River. Inside, the Woodbridge Agri-
cultural Works and Machine Works is buzzing with activity. Machinists are hard at work manufacturing farming equipment and steam-powered machinery to be sold locally and internationally. The factory is driving the village’s boom. O See MILLS, page 5

ABOUT US
There is no place for intolerance in our society A dashcam video depicting an unidentified male berating an elderly man on Old Kennedy Road, just north of Steeles Avenue East, in Markham surfaced earlier this month and its contents are disturbing to say the least. The video, shot by Markham’s Tony Cao and posted to YouTube, shows an older man, who walks with a heavy limp, moving across the frame when a younger man, dressed all in black, appears from behind him and inexplicably begins to taunt him and repeatedly refers to him as "monkey". When the younger man notices Cao, he angrily approaches his vehicle and shouts racist things at him. The footage came to light less than two weeks after a woman in a Toronto grocery store was filmed demanding that employees who didn’t speak English "go back to China" and the same week a Statistics Canada report emerged showing that the number of hate crimes in Canada rose by five per cent between 2014 and 2015 with the number of incidents targeting Muslims increasing by 60 per cent. Statistics Canada noted that its figures were based around police-reported hate crimes, so the numbers could be even higher as not all incidents are reported to law enforcement agencies. Cao did report what he saw and has turned his video over to York Regional Police who are now investigating. He went on to say that he’d never experienced a racist incident of any kind during the 10 years has called Canada home. "I’m truly shocked, I’m just sad to see this sort of thing in society in this beautiful, peaceful country," Cao told the York Region Media Group in an interview. "I only thought this type of thing would happen in America." It shouldn’t happen anywhere least of all in Canada. Fortunately, the majority of Canadians are appalled at this kind of behavior and it certainly isn’t indicative of who we are as a nation. Still, it’s clear from this video and the statistics there remains plenty of room for improvement and that’s why it’s important for those on the receiving end of racial abuse, or who witness such an incident, to report it to the proper authorities for what it is: a hate crime. Similarly, we should be vigilant for discrimination that targets any group. Simply put, there’s no place for intolerance such as this in our society.

• LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Minimum wage increase will harm small businesses Re: Wage increase could mean job losses, higher consumer costs: chamber, May 31. Dear Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne: On behalf of our membership and the dry-cleaning and laundry industry, I wish to advise you of our grave concern about your decision to raise the minimum wage from $11.40 to $15, a 41 per cent increase. Added to this is the cost of matching funds to finance CPP, OHIP, and other payroll taxes. As well, you have added another week to the vacation pay schedule and included part-time works in your increases. This policy will cause
havoc in the dry- and wetcleaning industry, as well as many other small businesses. Most of the operators in our industry are small family businesses which are currently struggling with a difficult economy and high utility prices. Our industry is currently faced with increased rents due to the real estate market, increased costs to insure that all our plants are environmentally safe and follow best practices, as well as added costs under the Boiler and Pressure Vessels Act to adhere to current and new TSSA regulations. I have been contacted by many of our membership who expressed the facts that they will have to shorten the hours they provide service to their

clients and will not be able to hire students and other part-time staff in order to be able to afford the additional payroll costs. Having a minimum wage of $15 for any person without any work experience forces the businesses to raise their wages even higher in order to attract competent people to perform the necessary jobs such as knowledgeable counter staff, pressers, and other positions in the industry. This policy will force business to both raise their prices to the public and thus lose business and lead to many having to close up. I would be pleased to meet with you to discuss alternatives to this very damaging policy that will have an everlasting effect on many families and
small businesses. Sidney Chelsky Executive Director, Ontario Fabricare Association

About 16,000 pizza lovers devoured nearly 60,000 slices of pizza last year, he said. So, they’ve made adjustments to try to better manage the long lineups that plagued the inaugural event. "We’re copying ideas from other events, what’s good from those events, and taking what we had problems with last year and improving on that," Palladini said. Admission costs $10 per person then you can purchase food and drink tickets for $1 each, with pizza
slices costing $2 (or two tickets) to $5 (five tickets) and personal pies costing $6 to $12. Pizzafest is also offering "a Canada 150 experience." For $150 you get an appetizer, pizza and dessert with wine pairings prepared by a celebrity chef. All proceeds from that experience go to the Mackenzie Health Foundation to support the Vaughan hospital. To find out more visit, http:// vaughanpizzafest.com.

Help shape the future of walking, rolling & biking in Vaughan! The Public and Stakeholder Engagement Process will be undertaken in three phases: Phase 1: Where are we now? (Summer 2017)
NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT City of Vaughan Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Update STUDY OVERVIEW The City of Vaughan has initiated a study to develop a new city-wide Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. The study will build on the 2007 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and the 2012 Transportation Master Plan Pedestrian and Bicycle Network Plan. It will outline a strategic plan to “grow” walking, rolling and biking in Vaughan through the development of a brand, supportive municipal processes, policies and programs as well as a plan for the implementation of more comfortable infrastructure and connected network.
yorkregion.com
WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! The focus of the study is to get meaningful input from the community and build support for walking, rolling and biking in the City. A robust and transparent engagement process is being undertaken using a variety of in-person and online engagement activities including Community Pop-up Conversations at public events, community centres and other places of gathering! Visit the City’s webpage (vaughan.ca/cycling) to find a Community Pop-up near you, as well as study updates and other opportunities to provide input!

Fill out a survey for a chance to win a Fitbit! surveymonkey.com/r/ walkbikevaughan
Phase 1 will focus on building an understanding of how the current transportation network is experienced and perceived, and why residents do or do not walk, roll or bike. It also includes an analysis of the existing network, review of current City policies, practices and programs, as well as development of alternative network options and route selection criteria. Phases 2 and 3 will establish the direction for the future of walking, rolling and biking in Vaughan through the evaluation of alternative network options and facility improvements, development of a preferred network, identification of policy, programming and network priorities and timelines.

Vaughan company fined $125,000 after worker dies in incident ALI RAZA aliraza@yrmg.com A Vaughan-based company has been fined $125,000 after a worker was fatally injured by equipment. The court decision was made June 19 in Newmarket, where Vaughan Paving Ltd. pleaded guilty and received the fine. The fine stems from an incident that occurred Aug. 27, 2014, when a worker
was struck by a skid steer while working. Subcontracted to install concrete curbs and sidewalks at the Markham commercial strip mall, a crew of company workers were grading and levelling the parking lot shortly before the incident occurred. While the site supervisor was operating the bulldozer and a worker was operating the skid steer - both of piec-
es of equipment having been left onsite by other contractors - a labourer was taking elevation measurements on the east side of the project boundary. The labourer communicated the measurements to the supervisor, who bladed the area to the desired elevation with the bulldozer. The skid steer was used to level the parking lot and apply the granular materials

It’s also an offence under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Vaughan Paving’s failure to have a signaler assist the operator meant a failure to comply with regulations.
Upon investigation by the Ministry of Labour, it was concluded that though the turning and stopping functions of the skid steer were working, there was no functioning reverse alarm and no signaler to direct the skid steer while operating in reverse. According to Section 104(3) of the Ontario Construction Projects Regulation "operators of vehicles, machines and equip-
required. The labourer began walking backwards from the site and the supervisor tried to alert him by shouting because the horn on the bulldozer was not functional. The skid steer - driving in reverse - drove into and struck the labourer, who was quickly taken to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and later died from his injuries.

Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is upgrading its commuter rail system into Regional Express Rail. The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is now home to nearly 7 million people and heading towards 10 million by 2041. To address the urgent transit needs of the GTHA, the Province of Ontario committed to implement Regional Express Rail and make other improvements to the GO system. By 2025, electrified trains will be running every 15 minutes or better, all day and in both directions, within the most heavily travelled sections of the GO network.

Notice of Commencement and Public Meetings GO Rail Network Electrification Transit Project Assessment Process
The Process Metrolinx and Hydro One are co-proponents, jointly carrying out the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 - Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings (made under the Environmental Assessment Act) to examine the environmental impacts of converting several GO rail corridors from diesel to electric propulsion. The Project As part of Regional Express Rail, Metrolinx is proposing to electrify GO-owned corridors. The GO Rail Network Electrification undertaking will entail design and implementation of a traction power supply system and power distribution components located along and within the vicinity of the rail corridors. The Study Area (see key map) includes six GO rail corridors, as well as proposed locations for the traction power facilities (i.e., Traction Power Substations, Paralleling Stations, Switching Stations) and ancillary components: • • • • • •
Union Station Rail Corridor Lakeshore West Corridor – West of Bathurst St. to Burlington Kitchener Corridor – UP Express Spur (at Highway 427) to Bramalea Barrie Corridor – Parkdale Junction to Allandale GO Station Stouffville Corridor – Scarborough Junction to Lincolnville GO Station Lakeshore East Corridor – Don River Layover to Oshawa GO Station
Traction Power Supply and Distribution System Electrification of the GO Network requires a connection to the provincial electrical system. It is proposed that power be supplied from Hydro One’s existing 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission lines through the installation of five (5) Tap locations which will bring power to the Traction Power Substations (TPS) and then feed into the power distribution system components adjacent to and along the rail corridors to be electrified. Consultation Building on the first and second rounds of public consultation meetings held in February/March 2016 and November 2016, Metrolinx and Hydro One are now formally commencing the TPAP. A third round of public consultation is planned for June/July 2017 (details below) and will present the findings of the technical/environmental studies (posted online at www.gotransit. com/electrification) undertaken for the GO Rail Network Electrification Project. Members of the public, government agencies, Indigenous communities and other interested parties are encouraged to participate in the process and/or contact the project team directly with feedback or questions. A discussion guide will be posted online at www.gotransit.com/electrification prior to the meetings to provide key information. We invite you to join us in person at the public meeting nearest you to find out more.

Another tragedy has befallen the Plunkett family after fallen York Regional Police Const. Rob Plunkett’s son, Jeff, died following a Springwater crash June 16. Const. Plunkett was crushed by a car and dragged during a traffic stop in 2007, during which he was investigating air-bag thefts. Nadeem Jiwa was convicted in the death. Const. Plunkett continues to be remembered via the Rob Plunkett Memorial Baseball Tournament, put on by his good friend and current York police Insp. Lou Malbeuf, and the annual Special Olympics Torch Run bearing his name. In the June 16 incident, OPP say Jeff, from Barrie, was driving his motorcycle near the area of Hwy. 26 and Anne Street North in Springwater when it collided with another vehicle, claiming Jeff’s life. There was an outpouring of grief on social media in the aftermath, with friends and family posting pictures of the 26-year-old who, like his father, was a natural athlete, particularly gifted at basketball. An account with the name Corey Dennis wrote a special tribute to Jeff on his Facebook account. "It never seems real, to hear that such an amazing person has been taken from us, Jeff Plunkett you are one of the most happy go Lucky, loyal, and stand up guys I have ever had the pleasure of knowing," he wrote. "You had a rare ability to light up any room and definitely could always put a smile on my face when I was down. My heart goes out to your family and may you rest in peace Jeff ! It’s never good bye, just so long for now friend, until we meet again!" Another user, with the account name Adam Slack, wrote Jeff was "one of the good guys". "Jeff Plunkett was a brother, a son, a friend, a hearty handshake, a smile, a teammate, a coworker and so many other things to so many people," he wrote. Jeff, along with his brother, Matt, played with the University of Ottawa Gee Gees men’s basketball team. One media article speaks of them playing in tribute to their father. Jeff’s visitation will be held at Adams Funeral Home in Barrie on June 21from 6 to 9 p.m. The funeral will occur in Adams’ chapel at 11 a.m. on June 22. Jeff is survived by his mother, Sonja, and siblings, Matthew and Amanda. The family requests any donations be given to Special Olympics, a charity that had a very important spot in Const. Plunkett’s heart and continues to receive support from York Regional Police, which has continued his fundraising for the organization.

Babysitter on life support couldn’t swim: police source JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com The glorious summertime feeling on Arnold Crescent the morning of June 19 gave no hint of the chaos that visited the quiet suburban street after 5 p.m. June 16. It was then that emergency crews of all stripes congregated on the street, as neighbours desperately tried to figure out exactly what was going on behind the fire and paramedic trucks that
blocked the house. When a stretcher finally came out of the house, one neighbour said the patient - a 20-year-old woman who was babysitting a four-year-old girl at the girl’s family home - didn’t appear to be conscious. Three days later, York Region police say the woman remains in life-threatening condition, still hooked up to life support. "They were working on her for quite a while," said neighbour Me-
lissa Leonard. "She didn’t appear to be conscious." Police say the four-year-old girl, who Leonard saw wearing a bathing suit amid the emergency scene, called 911 to report the incident. Although unaware exactly what transpired in the lead up to the incident, a police source described what appears to be a terrible accident. According to the officer, the woman and the girl were either playing in or near the pool in the
lead up to 5 p.m. when the fouryear-old went inside the house to retrieve her toys. When she came back out to the poolside, she says her babysitter was drowning in the deep end of the pool. The source indicated the babysitter did not know how to swim. Leonard, a mother-of-three who lives directly across the street, said her daughter and the four-year-old both attend Prince Charles Public School and take the bus together.
"Well she’s obviously a very smart little girl," she said. "What she did is amazing. "I know the babysitter because I see her when she picks up the girl, maybe two times a week after school for the past few months." Asked how she feels, Leonard said she’s having a difficult time with the incident. "I don’t know how to describe it," she said. "I have had her in my thoughts and prayers all weekend. I just hope she’s OK.

Quebec referendum of 1995 decided by razor-thin margin for Canada
Deb Schulte, MP King-Vaughan
The 1995 Quebec referendum was decided by the slimmest of margins as Quebeckers voted 50.58 per cent to 49.42 per cent to remain in Canada. Turnout in the Oct. 30 vote was 93.52 per cent, the largest ever in the province, and was surprisingly close after the “No” vote rejecting sovereignty and remaining in Canada was strong at the outset of the campaign. But led by a strong push by Lucien Bouchard, the “Yes” side, supporting independence and sovereignty, gathered momentum in the final weeks and made the outcome razor thin.

The EA Study is conducted as a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Road Project in accordance with the current Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. The EA Study takes into account findings of the City of Vaughan Transportation Master Plan (2013) and the Regional Municipality of York Transportation Master Plan (2016). Both plans completed Phases 1 and 2 of the EA process and confirmed the need for Kirby Road extension. The approximate study area limits are shown on the map to the left. The EA process adapted for the EA Study includes: consultation with public and review agencies; screening and evaluation of alternative road alignments and design concepts; assessment and mitigation of potential effects of the proposed Kirby Road extension on the environment; preparation of an Environmental Study Report (ESR) that will document the study process and identify the preferred alignment and design for the extension of Kirby Road. At the conclusion of the EA Study, the ESR will be provided to the City of Vaughan. The City will then determine whether or not to issue a Notice of Study Completion as a co-proponent and file the ESR for public review. You are invited to attend the Public Information Centre (PIC) #1 listed below. DATE:

NOUMAN KHALIL nkhalil@metroland.com Every day, millions of Canadians feel so proud to see the Maple Leaf flag flying high in the air. Canadians attained this flag on Feb. 15, 1965 after decades of debate in and outside the Parliament. That date, the day when Maple Leaf flag was officially raised on Parliament Hill, is now celebrated annually as the National Flag of Canada Day or Flag Day. In fact, every weekday before 9 a.m., the flag is replaced on top of the Peace Tower at Parliament Hill and the previous one is presented to a Canadian. Every citizen can obtain this 2.3-by-4.6-metre flag from the Peace Tower, but there is a wait list of about 50 years. Earlier, until 1965, the Royal Union Jack was the only other official national flag of Canada, while the Canadian Red Ensign was the unofficial flag. Bearing the Union Jack and the shield of the Royal Arms of Canada, the Red Ensign was never officially adopted as a national flag. However, the search for a new flag began in 1925 when Prime Minister Wil-
liam Lyon Mackenzie King’s government started work for possible new flag patterns. But the government immediately withdrew when there was a general uproar against any attack on the Union Jack. King tried again in 1945 with a joint committee of the Senate and House of Commons, but support for the Union Jack remained strong and many Canadians had so much emotional attachment to the Red Ensign and the Union Jack. Finally, in 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson took up the issue and informed the House of Commons that the government wished to adopt a distinctive national flag. Following Pearson’s directions, submissions for new patterns were once again called. As a result, more than 5,000 designs were submitted. Among them, George Stanley’s Maple Leaf or l’Unifolie, which means ‘the one-leafed’ in French, was approved. Stanley was a Canadian historian, author, soldier, teacher, public servant, and more importantly the designer of the Maple Leaf flag, the identity and pride of Canadians all over the world.

Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua together with Maple/Kleinburg Councillor Marilyn Iafrate, Regional Councillor Mario Ferri, King-Vaughan MP Deb Schulte, city staff and representatives from CN and Tree Canada planted three trees at the Civic Centre Resource Library April 28 to commemorate Canada’s 150th anniversary.
ADAM MARTIN-ROBBINS amartinrobbins@yrmg.com The city dug deep to commemorate Canada’s 150th anniversary with a ceremonial tree planting and commemorative plaque unveiling April 28. The event, held at the Civic Centre Resource Library, paid homage to the country’s past, present and future. A sugar maple was planted to represent Canada, an eastern white pine for Ontario and a cedar tree for Aboriginal Peoples.
The project was funded, in part, by the federal government’s CN EcoConnexions From the Ground Up program, in partnership with Tree Canada. A plaque recognizing the donation was also unveiled. Vaughan was among 50 cities to receive a $25,000 grant for tree planting projects through the program. The money will go to plant about 600 trees and as well as to working with students and volunteers to teach them about the importance of environmental stewardship.

DEAN BENNET When Paul Henderson reminisces about the greatest goal scored in the history of Canada’s greatest game he can hardly get a word in edgewise. Whether it’s on the street, at a speaking event or at a party, Canadians line up not so much to ask him but to tell him about Sept. 28, 1972. That’s when Henderson tucked home the rebound to put the exclamation point on a Canada-Russia hockey summit for the ages. It was a shared experience when millions of Canadians literally stood as one, around TVs and radios in restaurants and classrooms, to watch Team Canada come back against heavy odds to defeat the Soviets in the eight-game series. “They want to tell me what they were doing, where they were, who they were with, how they felt. They remember it so vividly,” Henderson says. “That’s why I love it. There’s no negativity.” In the last 45 years how many of those stories has he heard? He pauses. “Millions,” he says. “It’s got to be millions.” Unpack what hockey means to Canada on the country’s sesquicentennial and you are immediately shin guard-deep in cultural touchstones: A Wayne Gretzky rookie card, a Starr skate, Roch Carrier’s story “The Hock-

While the origins of the game remain a hotly debated cold case, the coming out party
was at the Victoria Skating Rink in Montreal on March 3, 1875. Fittingly, it was also the site of hockey’s first brawl when the free skaters, demanding back their ice sheet, donnybrooked with the stick-wielding interlopers. The game exploded in popularity and as the 19th century ticked over to the 20th, order,
rules, leagues and hierarchies arrived. Gov. Gen. Freddy Stanley fell in love with the game and in 1892 donated the iconic cup that now bears his surname. By 1908, Canada began paying its players rather than watching its best and brightest flee to the first pro league that had opened four years earlier in the United States. Rules were tweezed and tweaked over the decades, primarily to open up the offence – more forward passing, six players instead of seven. Referees went from ringing bells to blowing whistles. The NHL turns 100 this year and it has delivered to Canada the indelible images defining the game across generations: Howie Morenz’s coffin at centre ice at the Montreal Forum, the Gordie Howe hat trick, Mario Lemieux’s 1987 glove-side high Canada Cup winning goal, Gretzky’s tears over his 1988 trade, Sidney Crosby’s golden goal in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. There are sounds as well as sights: Roger Doucet’s sonorous bilingual version of national anthem at the Montreal Forum, broadcaster Foster Hewitt’s signature “Hello Canada and hockey fans in the United States and Newfoundland,” the ubiquitous duhduh-ta-duh-duh opening to Dolores Claman’s “Hockey Night in Canada” theme song. It has touched culture and politics. For the full story, visit yorkregion.com/Canada150

Canadians have accomplished a lot in the 150 years since Confederation. Here’s a look at five Canadians whose accomplishments are particularly remarkable.
1. Chris Hadfield, astronaut During his second of three trips to space, Hadfield served as Mission Specialist 1 during an International Space Station assembly mission aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. He made two spacewalks during the 11-day flight, the historic first for a Canadian coming on April 22, 2001. Hadfield marked another first, becoming the first Canadian to command a spaceship when he led the International Space Station crew from March 13 to May 12, 2013.
2. Sir Frederick Banting, scientist Banting and John James Rickard Macleod won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1923 for their discovery of how to extract insulin from animals to be used to treat people. This was the primary commercial source of insulin until the late 20th century, when the use of genetically-engineered bacteria for producing insulin began.
th Happy Birthday Canada!

3. Agnes Macphail, politician Macphail was the first woman elected to the Canadian House of Commons, serving from 1921 to 1940. She became the first woman elected to the Ontario legislature in 1943, representing the Ontario CCF. She lost the 1945 election, but won again in 1948, before losing in 1951.
4. Alice Munro, writer Munro received the Novel Prize in Literature in 2013, one of many accolades the noted short-story writer has received. She has also received the Governor General’s Literary Award for English language fiction in 1968, ‘78 and ‘86, the Giller Prize in 1998 and 2004 and the Man Booker International Prize in 2009, to name a few more.
5. Sir Sandford Fleming, engineer and inventor Fleming invented standard time. He proposed a single, 24-hour clock for the entire world after missing a train in Ireland in 1876 because the printed schedule listed the time in p.m. instead of a.m. He brought the idea to the International Meridian Conference in 1884, which accepted a modified version of universal time.

Yonge subway extension gets $36M federal boost
LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com
The extension of the Yonge Street subway from Finch subway station to Richmond Hill is another step closer. Preliminary engineering and design work on the 7.4-kilometre extension is set to begin, federal, provincial and regional politicians announced at a news conference at the Richmond Hill transit terminal on June 16. Federal Health Minister and Markham-Stouffville MP Jane Philpott, Ontario Transportation Minister and Vaughan MPP Steven Del Duca and York Region chair Wayne Emmerson announced more than $36 million in federal funding at the event. "This project is the No. 1 rapid transit priority of York Regional council for good reason," Emmerson said. "It will allow us to keep up with the tremendous growth we are experiencing, it will virtually eliminate the 2,500 daily bus trips now required to service this section of Yonge Street and it will be the catalyst for job creation and the development of more affordable housing options." The federal funding is in addition to about $55 million from the provincial government to continue design work on the project. Metrolinx has identified the subway extension as a priority project for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

Wayne Emmerson York Region Chairman and CEO
A BADLY PLANNED WILL A DAD’S GOOD INTENTION GONE BAD The Wills Lawyer Gary told the following story during a call-in show. His father, Percy, made his will at the height of the dot-com stock market surge. Percy’s stock portfolio was worth over five million dollars in the late nineties. He wanted to divide his growing estate among his many friends, his relatives and his two children, of whom Gary was one, and Denise was the other. It was important for Percy’s children to have the lion’s share of the estate, because they were his only children, and particularly because Denise was ill with multiple sclerosis. Just before making his will, Percy consulted with Gary and Denise, explaining that after he passed away, because of the value of his stock Les Kotzer portfolio, they would each be so wealthy that leskotzer.com they would never have money problems. But there were numerous others who really needed financial help, so that his will would contain many smaller gifts of money to those others. Gary, out of serious concerns about the medical and therapeutic needs that would arise over the lifetime of his sister, Denise, asked Percy what he meant by “numerous others”. Percy explained that counting all of his friends and cousins, there were twenty people, and each would get $10,000 dollars. A total of $200,000 dollars didn’t seem like a lot of money out of a total stock portfolio worth five million plus at the time, so Percy had the blessing of Gary and Denise, and the will was finalized along these lines. By the time Percy passed away, Gary had learned three hard lessons. First, he learned that five million dollars’ worth of internet stocks did not translate to five million dollars of currency after a stock market bubble bursts. Second, Gary learned about which gifts in a will get paid out first and which gifts are only paid, if there is money left over after the priority gifts are paid. The sad part of this lesson was that Percy’s friends and relatives got their money gifts first, leaving Denise and himself to split whatever was left after those money gifts were paid out. This followed the wording in Percy’s will which provided that Gary and Denise would split what was left over in Percy’s estate, after the money gifts were paid out to his friends and relatives. Third Gary learned how thankless people can be when he realized that Percy’s net worth after debts and taxes was only $230,000. This meant that, after $200,000 was paid out to Percy’s friends and relatives, Gary and Denise were left with $30,000 to split between them. What was the thankless part? Gary talked himself hoarse, begging Percy’s relatives and friends to give up their gifts so that the money would help Denise deal with her illness. He made a point of telling them that Percy would never have left his sick daughter in such a vulnerable position. Percy wanted to protect her. But not a single one of Percy’s friends or relatives agreed to consider Denise’s needs. Not one of them would give up their $10,000 gift from Percy’s will. Gary said that he and Denise were raised as givers, not takers. Gary gave all of his $15,000 inheritance from Percy’s estate to Denise and more beyond that out of his own money. What he had to give to the radio audience was one piece of advice to anyone making a will. Just because you’re rich today doesn’t mean you will always be rich. Les Kotzer is a wills lawyer with the law firm of Fish and Associates at 7951 Yonge Street in Thornhill. Les is a regular call in guest on the Barb DiGiulio show on Newstalk 1010. He has also appeared on CNN and was featured as a Canadian success story on the CTV National News. In 2013, Les was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubileee Medal for his work in wills and helping to educate the public. Les is pleased to offer a free Will review for those who have a Will and are not sure if it is up to date. He also offers a free Will consultation, if you do not have a Will and are not sure where to start. To book an appointment with Les you can call his office at 905-881-1500.

Playing on a swing is a joy that most of us take for granted. For kids who rely on mobility aids like wheelchairs, such simple pleasures are often inaccessible, but with the help of Woodbridge Soccer Club there will be more fun for everyone this summer. The Safehaven Project for Community Living’s #Fun4Everyone campaign to fund wheelchair accessible swings kicked off this month and Woodbridge Soccer Club was quick to respond to the crowdfunding appeal with a $7,100 donation. "It is a privilege to partner with Safehaven. Both of our organizations are focused on assisting children and youth members to realize their potential in our community through acceptance and inclusion, regardless of their abilities,"

Woodbridge Soccer Club donates $7,100 to Safehaven
Safehaven Project for Community photo
The Woodbridge Soccer Club donated $7,100 to the Safehaven Project. said Mike Rietta, president of Woodbridge Soccer Club. Safehaven is planning to raise $25,000 to purchase wheelchair swings for the residents at their Woodbridge and Aurora homes. The construction of the swings will help make play more accessible to the 130plus families that are supported by Safehaven each year. "With a mandate to provide a safe and caring place for children with complex needs, Safehaven has operated a residential home in
Woodbridge since 2004. It’s been 12 wonderful years providing quality care and respite for families in the community and we are so grateful for the tremendous support of the Vaughan community," said Susan Bisaillon, Safehaven CEO. No matter how big or small, any contribution makes a difference. If you would like to help support Safehaven in its efforts to make play accessible to all, visit www.gofundme.com/funforeveryone.
There’s something wrong at the LCBO.
HAS A SIX-FIGURE SALARY AND A FULL-TIME JOB, BUT MAKES OVER 84% OF HIS LCBO RETAIL EMPLOYEES WORK PART-TIME.
Over 84% of the people who work at your LCBO store have no choice but part-time. Shifts can be as short as two hours. Some of them work every day for weeks in a row just to get enough hours to scrape by. And even if they’ve worked for the LCBO for 10 or 15 years, they’re no closer to getting a full-time position. That’s not right. A successful Crown corporation like the LCBO should be setting an example for Ontario. And if Mr. Soleas can’t do it, let’s get someone who can.

ELDRED KING TRACT, WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE For more of a challenge, Reese suggests heading to Eldred King Tract at 16232 Hwy. 48. It is south of the North Tract and is one of the larger tracts in the York Regional Forest.

THE BROWN HILL TRACT, EAST GWILLIMBURY It is one of the more popular places to ride bicycles. Some of its trails are well suited to mountain biking. There are 15 km of trails.
HAPPY VALLEY TRACT, KING This tract is on the 7th concession, King. This is a great spot, but hard to find, Reese said. You need to access it from north of the property. Come from the Pottageville side or 7th concession. A creek runs through part of the property. PEFFERLAW TRACT, GEORGINA It has a Pefferlaw Brook. Parking spots are at the end of Forestry Drive. This runs south of Old Homestead Road. Some people like going across to Pefferlaw Brook for fishing. – Go to York.ca/trails for information and map.

New act stops landlords from unfairly boosting rent LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Tenants no longer have to worry about their rent being unreasonably hiked, York Region’s Liberal MPPs promise. Queen’s Park has passed new legislation called the Rental Fairness Act, which prevents landlords from unfairly boosting lodgers’ rents. It expands rent controls to all private rental units, including those occupied after Nov. 1, 1991, which had been exempt in the past. Landlords can’t raise rents more than set guidelines, which this year is 1.5 per cent.
Any rent increase given above this on or after April 20 must be reduced to 1.5 per cent. The legislation also protects tenants from eviction due to abuse of the "landlord’s own use" provision and ensures landlords can’t pursue former tenants for unauthorized charges. Landlords can continue to apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board for above-guideline rent increases where permitted. They can also determine rent levels for new tenants. York’s Liberal MPPs praised the legislation. "In the face of dramatic rent increases and unfair
practices, our government is answering the call to bring fairness and predictability to Ontario’s rental housing system," Housing Minister and NewmarketAurora MPP Chris Ballard said. "With the changes under the Rental Fairness Act, Ontarians can rest assured that they will continue to have an affordable place to call home."
