5 Metroland Reports: SIU
SIU SHROUDED IN SECRECY Less than half of investigations into York police-involved deaths, injuries made public
"THEY WON’T TELL ME WHICH OFFICER SHOT ME’ PAM DOUGLAS pdouglas@thebrampton guardian.com
LOUIE ROSELLA lrosella@mississauga.net
T
he province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) launched investigations into 13 police-involved deaths and injuries in York Region last year but you only heard about six of them. That’s because the SIU doesn’t have enough staff to issue news releases for every investigation, according to SIU spokesperson Jason Gennaro. "Each year the SIU starts hundreds of investigations all across the province," Gennaro wrote in an email to Metroland Media. "The unit has limited resources and does not have the ability to issue an initial news release and to provide details in every case it begins." The SIU isn’t required by law to report to the public. It does so as a matter of policy. That’s one thing Justice Michael Tulloch, in his Independent Police Oversight Review report, has said must change. "The SIU must be more open, candid and communicative than it is now," Tulloch concluded in the lengthy report released this past April that included 129 recommendations for improvements to the current system of police oversight in Ontario. He quoted the Police Services Act, which states only that the SIU must re-

The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) launched investigations into 13 police-involved deaths and injuries in York Region last year - but you only heard about six of them. port to the Attorney General. Since the release of Tulloch’s report, the Attorney General has committed to releasing all reports publicly, online. That decision will give the public access to information about all SIU investigations in which charges are not laid, but only after the case has been closed. Tulloch recommended the law require the SIU report to the public on every investigation, and he even set out guidelines for how often the unit should update the progress being made on ongoing investigations - after 120 days, and then every 60 days thereafter. Gennaro has said the SIU is committed to issuing news releases in all death cases, shootings, and for "major" vehicle collisions
involving police, which has meant few details released in the majority of SIU-involved cases. Under that policy, news releases are issued by the SIU only 25 per cent of the time, or for one out of every four investigations it conducts, Tulloch’s review found. The SIU handles hundreds of cases each year. Last year, it opened 327 investigations. Tulloch emphasized the correlation between accountability and public trust in the SIU and the amount of information the unit shares with the public. In 2014/15, the SIU spent 4 per cent of its total expenditures on "communications, outreach and affected persons," or $352,584 out of approximately $8.2 million. "Public accountability
is vital to the SIU’s success. Yet the SIU currently has only one person responsible for public communications," Tulloch concluded. Approximately 80 per cent of expenditures were spent on investigations and identification services. "This disparity between the two functions should be addressed," Tulloch concluded, calling for more resources to fulfill its public accountability function. Since the release of Tulloch’s report, the Attorney General’s office has begun releasing the reports the SIU submits and a spokesperson for the Attorney General said that, going forward, all reports will be released to the public. That means the public will be notified of all SIU investigations, after they are completed.
Suzan Zreik spent a good part of her day learning about ballistics evidence and the science of guns. Later that evening, the woman had a bullet lodged in her back, fired by a Peel Regional Police officer. She knew instantly she had been shot. "It was a very hot, burning sensation. There’s nothing else that would’ve flown that quickly through my body," she said. Zreik, 24, was a police foundations student at Humber College when she was accidentally shot March 20, 2015 in her kitchen. The gunfire erupted as officers responded to a disturbance and were trying to fend off a man armed with a knife. Zreik spent the night in hospital and waited six weeks for doctors to remove the bullet. The SIU investigation that followed determined the incident, which also saw the armed man, Marc Ekamba-Boekwa, shot dead and two officers wounded, was "legally justified." The SIU said Zreik was in the "wrong place at the wrong time," a statement that angers her to this day. "I was in my kitchen minding my own business," she said. "These officers were firing wildly into a residential area with children." She is frustrated with the SIU refusing to tell her, or the public, which police officer shot her - and is hoping to find out in court as part of a $21-million civil lawsuit against Peel police. The SIU cannot release the name because it is prohibited by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act, spokesperson Jason Gennaro said. Zreik accuses the SIU of being biased toward police because so many of the investigators are former police officers. Metroland has learned through Freedom of Information documents that of the 60 investigators with the SIU, 34 are "former/retired police officers." In his report focusing on recommendations to improve transparency and accountability at the SIU, Justice Michael Tulloch agreed that having former police officers on staff poses a challenge. "Nobody doubts their ability to investigate. Yet many question whether they are biased in favour of police officers," he wrote. However, Tulloch recommended officers continue to be hired because of their knowledge of police training, education and experience. But he also recommended the SIU try to do more to attract and develop quality investigators who do not have a background in policing.

A local outreach centre that has helped more than 9,000 women and children since 2009 is closing its doors Oct. 1 due to a lack of funding. Empowerment Through Achievement Vaughan Women’s Shelter
and Outreach Centre (ETA Vaughan), which opened Dec. 29, 2009, has run largely on private support throughout the years, but lost that support recently. A three-paragraph statement on the ETA Vaughan website dated Sept. 1 and titled, Re: Notice of Agency Closure, states that "Since inception, ETA Vaughan
has been working without government assistance and due to continuous nonsupport, has had to close." The statement adds that"we are no longer accepting donations and we will ensure that women, youth and children are redirected to other support networks in our community."

ABOUT US
Municipal co-operation should be encouraged Municipalities don’t often play well with others when it comes to attracting sought-after employers or highprofile events. After all, the competition to host a major tournament or bring a big-name corporation to town is generally fierce and to the victor goes the lion’s share of the spoils - among them tourism dollars, in the case of a sporting event, and more business tax revenue with a new employer - not to mention political bonus points and bragging rights. That’s why it was encouraging to see the municipalities in the GTA join forces after tech giant Amazon recently announced its intention to establish a second North American headquarters. Rather than trying to self-promote to the detriment of their neighbouring communities, the mayors of Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton, along with the regional chairs of York, Durham and Halton, have teamed up to present a single regional bid in the hope Amazon will set up shop somewhere in the GTA. The municipalities involved are all members of Toronto Global, an arms-length, not-for-profit corporation established earlier this year, whose mandate is to work with municipalities, the province and the federal government to market and promote the area to potential foreign investors. "The Toronto Region is ready for Amazon. The company already has a strong presence in the area, with more than two million square feet of operational footprint across the Toronto Region," the mayors and regional chairs said in a joint statement issued by Toronto Global. "With ready access to major markets, a compelling cost structure, and sophisticated U.S. and international connectivity, there has never been a better time for Amazon to choose the Toronto Region." Amazon has said that it will spend in excess of $5 billion to build the second headquarters, and it is expected to create somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50,000 good-paying jobs. If any GTA municipality were selected to play host to the facility, it would provide enormous spinoff benefits for the entire region and no doubt create tremendous employment opportunities for residents in all of the aforementioned communities and beyond. Not surprisingly, the GTA isn’t alone in its plans to lure Amazon. Vancouver is preparing its case, as are a number of cities in the United States. Regardless, even if the bid to bring Amazon’s second headquarters to the area proves ultimately fruitless, the co-operation displayed between municipalities and local leaders should be seen as a win. Teamwork can only prove beneficial in future campaigns to attract employers or major events to the GTA and ought to be encouraged.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Improve sidewalk and public area maintenance "Woodbridge" the name conjures up an elegant subdivision, especially Islington, which at one time was a clean, well-respected area - or, rather, "avenue". Now, no more. The "avenue" itself is rough driving, with broken-down trees and treacherous, dangerous sidewalks; bus "shelters" either non-existent or uncared for and dangerous. A strip of land on the west side between Hayhoe Lane and Langstaff Road is an absolute eyesore, and has been for more than a year; the sidewalk slopes for the convenience of structures yet to be erected but is broken in large areas, making it tough for pe-
destrians. Right now, the land houses a "caterpillar"; if only it would come to life and clean up the place. The bus "stop" is an eyesore, garbage and overgrowth taking over and no shelter. Who is responsible for the maintenance of this public area? Will they also be responsible for any injuries which can result? Stand up and take responsibility; do something, whoever you are. Stop basking in past reputation and get responsible. S. Williams

should be mandatory, Aug. 9. I agree with Lila Duncan, except for her concluding frivolity. Noah was in the ark for 370 days. By carefully comparing Genesis 7:11 with Genesis 8:3 and 4, we see that the ark came to rest on one of the peaks of Ararat after five months or 150 days. Thus, Noah chronicled events on the basis of the adjusted lunar year of 30 days per month. From the second month of Gen. 7:11 to the same day of the seventh month was 150 days. After that, the waters slowly decreased, but as Genesis 8:13 and 14 show, it wasn’t until the 27th day of the second month of the year after the flood had begun that they were able to come out of the ark (bringing his compost with him). However, it wasn’t his
composting that kept him alive, but his obedience to specific instructions. Jesus compared this historical event to the last days of this age before he would destroy the nations for their corrupt conduct. In Luke, chapter 17, we see him comparing the days of Noah and those of Lot to this time, when people would be too busy with everyday pursuits to carry out the specific assignment and instructions he had given us. We would be busy marrying, building, planting (and composting), and taking no note of God’s will, and then suffer the consequences. Lila Duncan has excellent intentions, but composting by itself, while yielding sumptuous mustard plants, won’t cut the proverbial mustard. Thorsten Laue

10 ART
Artist displays vision of Vaughan Metropolitan Centre TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com When you think urban graffiti, negative connotations usually follow. York Region has been hit by some anti-Semitic and racist graffiti at schools and off Highway 400 in the past few weeks. But Thornhill artist Suzanne Metz is trying to change all that with her
very personal vision of the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, Urban Graffiti. Metz’s lively, abstract paintings are now on display On the Slate at Vaughan City Hall. The group of paintings represent the artist’s own interpretation of the VMC, the multidecade massive development ongoing north of Highway 7 near Jane Street. "Graffiti is a symbolic expression and this is about
street art," said Metz. "It’s everything, it’s railway lines, it’s roads, it’s movement and energy," she said about the works painted in acrylic, charcoal, ink and oil pastel. Graffiti as an art form is well-established with worldfamous practitioners like Britain’s Banksy and others producing legions of fans. Sharon Gaum-Kuchar, public art curator for the
City of Vaughan, said Metz’s work not only raises public awareness for the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, but also "puts graffiti away from the aspect where it can just be vandalism. This work has positive words like imagine or peace," in it she said. This isn’t the first time Metz has imagined what the VMC can be. In 2015, her painting Cityscape was judged best in
show among 161 works for the Inspired Cities art integration project. A native of Johannesburg, South Africa, who has lived in Thornhill since 1986, Metz has been painting all her life. She earned a fine arts degree in her native land and has a long history of appearing in arts shows and displaying her work in York Region and Toronto. She has also taught art in a
number of locations including the Lebovic campus in Vaughan. Metz said her current project, Urban Graffiti, allows the "viewer, as always to interpret, walk past and see things as they imagine them to be." Urban Graffiti is On the Slate until Nov. 10 at Vaughan City Hall, 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr. from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

What’s the Best Thing for Back Pain and Sciatica the culprits. Pregnancy can be a cause. It can affect anyone - including super-fit celebrities like Tiger Woods, Sylvester Stallone, and British Olympic medalist Ian Wynne. MYTH: Stop exercising and get several weeks of bed rest to overcome the pain. FACT: Staying active can help to relieve back or sciatic pain and prevent the pain from getting worse. Staying inactive in bed could be the worst advice - based on a recent study in the Netherlands. MYTH: Back pain and sciatica require surgery. FACT: NO! There’s been a huge breakthrough in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain. It’s a new procedure called Non-Surgical Re-Constructive Spinal Care. The excellent results from this treatment have been published in major medical journals. Success rates are up to 88% on average. MYTH: “There’s nothing anyone can really do. I’m just stuck with this for the rest of my life.” FACT: With the correct treatment from a healthcare professional who specialises in the problem, you can find relief from the core cause - and the symptoms.

This means superior long-term results for most people.” Almost Immediate Improvements Because the treatment is non-surgical, safe, and easy, most patients report an almost immediate improvement from their back pain.

TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com The work of Inuit artist Annie Pootoogook (19692016), whose show ’Cutting Ice’ depicting over 50 of her drawings is on until Feb. 11 at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, is liable to draw a strong reaction from the viewer. Dr. Nancy Campbell, the McMichael’s guest curator for ’Cutting Ice’ and an expert in contemporary Inuit art, said Pootoogook drew "so honestly and drew about what contemporary life in the north was like". As a result, Campbell said, whether a viewer likes Pootoogook’s art because "it’s so fresh and straightforward and speaks about the north now, or hates it because it isn’t traditional Inuit art, you’ve got to assess it; you have to have a reaction." Pootoogook’s coloured pencil crayon drawings paint wasn’t used in the far north because it froze too quickly - burst onto the world art scene in a huge way in 2006 when the 37-year-old artist won the prestigious Sobey Award, the pre-eminent Canadian prize for artists under 40. Pootoogook was a shock winner as Inuit art had never before been recognized on such a level. She earned a $50,000 prize, a chance to work in Scotland, and represented Canada in the Documenta 12 exhibition in Kassel, Germany. What struck Campbell about Pootoogook’s art when she was first saw it was that she reflected a living culture. "When I looked at these (Pootoogook works), I’m like ’Oh my God, they’re watching Jerry Springer’," Campbell said about one such Pootoogook drawing. Campbell went to the far north home Pootoogook came from, Cape Dorset on Baffin Island, home to the West Baffin Island Eskimo Co-Op, which has the highest amount of artists of any city per capita in Canada. There, Campbell discovered a slew of wonderful art and artists, Pootoogook just one eminent example. Campbell notes Pootoogook draws "a living culture, a changing culture, an accelerated culture, think about the ’50s to now ." After she won the Sobey Award, Pootoogook did not return to Cape Dorset permanently. Her body was found in the Rideau River in Ottawa last September, the circumstances of her death considered "suspicious" by police, though no charges in her death have been laid. The McMichael Canadian Art Collection at 10365 Islington Ave., Kleinburg is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit www. mcmichael.com for more information.

“Most songs start in my head unbidden,” says the legendary Canadian singer/songwriter, Buffy Sainte-Marie, whose songs, she says, appear to her as fully formed ideas even before she writes them down. “Sound asleep in bed or on an airplane, they just show up, something like dreams.” In a career that’s spanned over fifty years, Sainte-Marie has been a powerful advocate for Indigenous rights and the acknowledgment of cultural genocide in North America, through her work as both an activist and an artist. And while the prolific songwriter finds most of her songs in her head—something she attests in the liner notes of her most recent album, Power in the Blood—Sainte-Marie acknowledges that her activist songs require a more journalistic approach. “Like a photographer taking pictures,” she says, “some songs are easy as a snapshot, while others profit by a little setup and processing to make their point.”

Artist, Activist, Altruist: Canadian Music Icon Buffy Sainte-Marie Comes to Markham
Recently named an Honorary Witness by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Sainte-Marie has dedicated her career to the creation of music that encourages its listeners to engage politically with Indigenous concerns. And, although throngs of fans were clearly paying attention over the years, it’s taken half a century to see real progress on a governmental level. “Over the fifty years of my career, a few of us have consistently yelled about genocide in Canada,” she says, “but we weren’t taken seriously until the Truth and Reconciliation Commission spelled out the irrefutable facts.” continued on page 2

Saint-Marie from page 1 Sainte-Marie believes that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is a huge step forward for all Canadians. “It enables universities, teachers, researchers, journalists, politicians and the general public to speak confidently about the generational trauma of the residential schools era,” she says, “and, hopefully, to be part of helping the families of survivors to gain a semblance of normalcy in Canadian life by focusing light on this most horrible of colonial policies.” Still, the 76 year old Member of the Order of Canada acknowledges that we have a long way to go in implementing this new policy of Truth and Reconciliation in a way that will effectively reverse the damage done, “both to victims and our prestige as a good nation.” “We must face what greed and unbridled power in the hands of our own colonials did to our
own unprotected Indigenous populations,” says Sainte-Marie. “The acknowledgement does help but we’ve only just begun to fix it.” The fact that we, as a nation, still have a long way to go in terms of acknowledging and reconciling our treatment of Indigenous peoples motivates Sainte-Marie to continue writing music, and to continue touring across the country. “I wouldn’t be on the road unless I believed that my own songs can make a difference,” she says. “I just want to put the songs to work.” But apart from the political importance of her work, there’s something else that compels Sainte-Marie to continue writing and performing music. “It’s the same thing that makes a kid want to play their favorite game,” she says. Discussing her upcoming cross-Canada tour with her band—which will be making a stop at the Flato Markham Theatre this November Sainte-Marie says, “It’s so much fun nobody has to make you do it. Playing the music is its own playful reward, even if the subject is serious.” “I hear a lot of comments in the autograph lines that convince me that people really can connect through

Ashley Lobo, founding artistic director of the Navdhara India Dance Theatre (NIDT), loves Bollywood. “It’s the simplicity and larger than life melodrama that makes it entertaining and pleasing to the eye,” he says. Throughout a distinguished career as a dancer, choreographer, educator, and international producer, Lobo has found a niche for himself in the high-flung, melodramatic, and gloriously campy genre. He has choreographed dance sequences in over twenty Bollywood films, and is the man responsible for bringing a new Bollywood-inspired stage musical to audiences all over the world. Coming to the Flato Markham Theatre, A Passage to Bollywood has already toured extensively. As one of India’s only internationally touring dance companies, the Navdhara India Dance Theatre has a celebrated reputation for bringing lively, energetic, and highly entertaining work to enthusiastic audiences wherever it travels. “For me, audiences must feel the energy of a performer… not just see it,” says Lobo. It’s that philosophy from which Lobo derived his signature style of choreography. Steeped in the idea of creating a “new flow,” the NIDT combines various traditional methodologies to create new work. This philosophy has been used with the NIDT’s most popular touring production. A Passage to Bollywood has now been presented in nearly a dozen countries, and the company boasts that each performance is greeted with standing ovations. Lobo isn’t surprised that this new musical, which is steeped in a culturally specific genre and performance style, has found such universal acclaim.
songs,” she says. And it is that personal, emotional connection to her music that will continue to inspire change in audiences across the country. “The way we encourage new ways of doing things is to do them ourselves,” says Sainte-Marie. “Set the example, prove it can be done, then let it fly.” Buffy Sainte-Marie will play the Flato Markham Theatre on November 10, 2017. The fall season at the Flato Markham Theatre has a star-studded line up of rock artists including Robert Charlebois, Carl Palmer, and Gowan. For more information, visit markhamtheatre.ca.
“Bollywood is a medium for the masses in India,” he explains. “It’s fun, light and entertaining… It’s like going back into your childhood and experiencing the almost ridiculous, in a completely logical way and believing it.” Filled with all the trappings of a traditional Bollywood film, this new stage musical Lobo and his dance company have created celebrates the simplicity of the genre. It is through that simplicity and accessibility, Lobo suggests that the genre has been met with universal appeal. “A Passage to Bollywood is full of life, colourful costumes, drama, passion, music and larger than life dance,” he says, adding that audiences can expect a “rollercoaster ride of emotion.” When the international tour of A Passage to Bollywood makes a stop at the Flato Markham Theatre this November, Lobo hopes local audiences will embrace the brash, over-the-top, highly entertaining production, even if they’re unfamiliar with the genre. A Passage to Bollywood is presented as part of the theatre’s World Stage Series’ South Asian Focus which includes Song of Lahore performed by The Sachal Ensemble, Honour: Confessions of a Mumbai Courtesan starring Dipti Mehta, and Nrityagram Dance Ensemble.

TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com They know major development is coming on a famous old Woodbridge golf course, but two homeowners who live near it are hoping to have a role in shaping it. Tony Lorini and Mark Pulciani, president and communications director respectively of the Greater Woodbridge Ratepayers Association, would like to sit down with developer RGF Real Estate, which purchased 290 acres of the Country Club Golf Course in Woodbridge in May. RGF said in a release that Clubhouse Developments Inc. plans to create a residential enclave with a blend of family homes and a significant amount of green space accessible to the community. It hopes
to develop about a third of the land. Lorini said he and his group hope to not only meet with the developer, but also with the City of Vaughan, the Toronto Region Conservation Authority and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, among others. "We’re trying to be partners with the developers. We don’t want to be adversarial. We want to take residents’ concerns to the table and then everyone comes away happy. We’re not organized to stop development, because development brings money to the community," he said. For Pulciani, a longtime resident near the golf course, it’s important the design of the new community "be appropriate." "If you’re going to build in a mature community,

The purchase of 290 acres by RGF Real Estate Fund LP of Woodbridge, made only in May, will likely lead to a major development on the golf course in years to come. make sure as a developer you take into consideration we’ve been here a
long time, that these homes have a certain value," he said.

ions, say they have a wish list for the development: the need to have infrastructure redesigned to absorb additional capacity before anything new goes in; the need to make sure residents can work with the developer to establish transitioning with existing development; the need for a buffer between development and current residences; and adequate green space within the proposed development. They also want to make sure there are enough existing community centres, schools, transit and other commercial services to support new development. "Before shovels go in the ground, we hope we can go over this checklist," said Lorini. RGF was not available for comment.

Terry Fox Run participant ’grateful’ to be here SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com Woodbridge native Deanna Savoia-DeMarchi was 16 when she was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Today, the 37-year-old is considered recovered and is a mother of two children who has participated in the Terry Fox Run for 15 years.
Sunday’s run at Boyd Conservation Area in Vaughan had special meaning for her. "It makes me realize how thankful, grateful and lucky I am to be here," she said. She walked with her 8-monthold son alongside her husband, brother, parents, nephew and 3year-old daughter Isabella. Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone cancer in 1977. During
his hospital stay, he was touched by the experiences of other cancer patients and decided to run across Canada. He ran an average of 42 km daily for 143 days. Terry was forced to stop on Sept. 1, 1980 when cancer spread to his lungs. By Feb. 1, 1981, Terry’s dream of raising $1 for every Canadian was realized. Terry died in June 1981.

York Region’s Mandatory Food Handler Certification Bylaw –
What does it mean to you? Do you own, operate or work in a food premises in York Region?
Do you shop, order from, or eat at food establishments in York Region?
Beginning January 1, 2017, all high and moderate-risk food premises in the Region must have:
Check the sign; check the sticker!
• •
At least one owner/operator and one food handler with a current and valid food handler certificate One certified food handler present at all times during operation to supervise the processing, preparation, storage, handling, display, distribution, transportation, service and sale of food
Beginning January 1, 2017, most food establishments that prepare and serve food in the Region must have a certified food handler on-site. Make sure the establishments you eat and buy food at have certified food handlers on-site. Look for the green Proof of Public Health Inspection sign posted by their front door. A sticker on the sign means at least one certified food handler was on-site at the time of inspection.
York Region Public Health inspectors will enforce the Region’s Mandatory Food Handler Certification bylaw and can issue tickets to food premises that are not in compliance.
For more information on York Region’s Mandatory Food Handler Certification bylaw, contact York Region Health Connection at 1-800-361-5653, TTY 1-866-512-6228, or visit york.ca/foodsafety

Please check www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/jpaac/advertisements for an updated listing of advertised vacancies. At the request of the Attorney General and in accordance with the Justices of the Peace Act, the Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee invites applications for vacant Justice of the Peace positions in the Province of Ontario. A Justice of the Peace is an independent judicial officer who presides in court over various proceedings under federal and provincial statutes. Applicants must meet minimum qualifications as set out in the Justices of the Peace Act. The Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee reviews and evaluates applications and classifies candidates as “Not Qualified”, “Qualified” or “Highly Qualified”. Classifications are reported to the Attorney General, who recommends candidates for Order-in-Council appointments to the Ontario Court of Justice. In addition to reflecting the diversity of Ontario’s population, applicants should also display the fundamental skills and abilities, personal characteristics and community awareness attributes set out in the Committee’s General Selection Criteria. Bilingual positions require a high degree of proficiency in English as well as a superior level of oral and written proficiency in French. As First Nations people comprise a large percentage of the population in the areas being serviced by the court in Timmins*, we especially encourage people of Indigenous heritage and people with an in-depth understanding of Indigenous communities and the issues affecting those communities to apply for this vacancy. For detailed information about the vacancies noted above, minimum qualifications and the General Selection Criteria, the required application form, and the Committee’s process, please visit the website of the Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee at www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/jpaac.

Toronto Pearson:
International Noise Benchmarking and Best Practices Report Launch
NEW LOCATION:
Join us on September 27, 2017 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Toronto Congress Centre, 650 Dixon Road, Etobicoke, ON, M9W 1J1
for our Community Environment & Noise Advisory Committee (CENAC) meeting for the release of our Noise Management Program Benchmarking and Best Practices Study. What is CENAC?
Why is this important?
CENAC is a forum for discussion between the community and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) on matters relating to aircraft noise and the environmentally responsible operation of Toronto Pearson International Airport.
Toronto Pearson serves Canada’s largest and fastest-growing metropolitan area. The GTAA is committed to managing and reducing the impact of our operations and is reviewing a range of ambitious targets and actions to reduce the impact on GTA residents. Our updated five-year Noise Management Action Plan will be released this winter following a year of detailed study and consultations. Understanding international best practices is an important step in the development of this plan.
What can you expect to learn? In 2016, the GTAA hired UK aviation consultant Helios to undertake a Noise Management Program Benchmarking and Best Practices study. The study looked at 11 areas of noise management at 26 comparator airports around the world to identify potential new programs to be adopted at Toronto Pearson. This is the release of the report’s findings. There will be opportunities to speak with experts, including Toronto Pearson staff. This meeting is not focused on decisions around runway usage.
How do I RSVP? Visit www.torontopearson.com/noisemanagement to register and to learn more about CENAC and the GTAA’s important noise consultations and studies.
