About the Village Bloggurls

The Village Bloggurls is a weekly girls leadership, media production and media literacy program of North York Community House that began in 2012. Girls aged 9-13 work with their mentors aged 14-18 and staff to create a safe and supportive environment where critical thinking, community development and discussions happen. As a result, the girls develop a sense of ownership and belonging in the group and their community/Lotherton.

The goal is for members of the Village Bloggurls to gain a sense of pride and increase their self-esteem/confidence. We also want to facilitate the sharing of stories, experiences through selfrepresented media production (e.g, digital stories, blogging, zinemaking etc.) with other girls within their community and beyond.

This project is funded by the Canadian Women's Foundation

Why LothertonHistory?

When you do a Google search for “Lotherton” or its larger neighbourhood, “Lawrence Heights”, the most popular results have to do with violence or crime. They’re unchanging, so it seems like every day, there’s another stabbing, shooting, robbery or negative occurrence that characterizes the entirety of Lawrence Heights. The articles and TV news reports are often riddled with disappointment and low expectations. It’s as if the writers, reporters, viewers and readers of the news are saying to themselves, “Can’t you get it together, Lotherton?”

In the Village Bloggurls program, we learn about media literacy and how to critically analyze what we see. For the past 6 years, we’ve been looking at online and offline media. We’re taught to notice things and ask questions.

However, when we shifted our lens towards our community and how our community has been reported on, there were now things we were seeing that we didn’t see before.

That's why we made this zine. We want to challenge the idea of Lotherton being this “bad” neighbourhood that no one should go to. We also want to encourage people to take a historical look at their own neighbourhoods to know why it is the way it is and why it’s seen the way it’s seen. When we did our research about our community at the library, we found past stories that put the present into perspective and the future in a new light. Every community has its ups and downs, but community is what you make it. We hope this zine inspires people to engage with their own communities and to reconsider the images, ideas and narratives they’re fed about so-called bad neighbourhoods.

Chapter i: Discovering Lotherton at theLibrary

In May 2018, the Village Bloggurls went on a field trip to the Toronto Public Library. The purpose of this trip was to uncover the history of our community. We wanted to know so many things, such as where the nickname "Village" came from, when Lotherton was built and how it gained the negative reputation that is often reinforced in the media.

A librarian searched the archives for us and found a report about Lawrence Heights from 1966! It's called "Life in the Heights: The Tenants' Viewpoint" by W.R. Delgram. Unfortunately, Lotherton was not mentioned in this report.

It was when we searched the online archives of the Toronto Star and Globe and Mail that we struck gold. One of the most fascinating things we found out was that our community is technically called Caledon Village. Even the Library bookmobile webpage refers to our community like this. The entire time we were there, which was almost 2 hours, we thought Caledon was a typo!

Here are just some of the stories we found about Lotherton:

Cheap Housing: The dream that became a nightmare - Marshall, John for Globe and Mail, October 30, 1978 Takeaway: Affordable housing was the promise, but not necessarily the vision. Prices were low in the beginning; then, they went up and kept increasing. It's kind of like today, with maintenance fees continuing to increase with little in return, except frustration.

Dozen shots fired insuccession - Canadian Newsstream in Globe and Mail, July 21, 1979 Takeaway: A lot of shootings that happened around this time were blamed on 'troubles' that Lotherton was experiencing not too long after it was opened in 1973

CMHC takes over large condominium with suit against it - Kashmeri, Zuhair for Globe and Mail, January 22, 1982 Takeaway: It seems like residents were pushing back against the possibility of gentrification. But we wonder what Lotherton would be like today if city developers paid more attention to our community, made necessary renovations and improved housing conditions in a timely manner, especially given how the building infrastructure is currently falling apart.

Caledon Village still grappling with problems - Yawching, Donna for Toronto Star, December 9, 1986 Takeaway: The tensions between residents and the board of directors are longstanding ones. This may explain the hesitation of residents to run for board positions and even form associations.

Cameras, mikes drive out pushers - Hall, Joseph, Toronto Star, April 4, 1988 Takeaway: Property management has invested a lot of money into creating a solid security infrastructure for our community, but it seems like a new plan is needed. A lot of safety and security issues, like the ones we outlined in our safety audit 4 years ago, still exist.

Security firm sets up roadblock in bid to halt drug traffickers, Girard, Daniel, Toronto Star, August 25, 1989 Takeaway: We don't know how prevalent this issue is today, but we can imagine it's still here because there are often police patrolling the area in cars, on foot and on bikes in Lotherton.

How ONE donation unites a community - Winsa, Patty, Toronto Star, October 3, 2010 Takeaway: United Way has had a lasting impact on Lotherton, which has allowed so many residents to become self-sufficient leaders and advocates.

Chapter ii: A Brief Bio of Lotherton

In 1971, Greenwin Developments Ltd. received approval from North York to build four 12-storey apartment buildings and 88 townhouses. 2 years and $13.5 million later, York Condominium Corp. 46 (YCC 46) was complete and Caledonia Village/Caledon Village/Green Park Homes/Lotherton Village was born.

The area was built with the intention of increasing home ownership among low to moderate income earners who often couldn't afford to own homes in the city. It was to be a welcoming place for families.

However, not too long after its completion, Lotherton was riddled with issues such as lawsuits between residents and the board of directors, tense membership meetings, increase in maintenance fees, heavy police presence and a lot of violent crimes, including kidnappings, murders and drug pushing.

At one point in 1982, Canada Mortgage and Housing Cooperation (CMHC) had to seize control over the entire complex because of an ongoing lawsuit between the board of directors and the property management. CMHC ended up revoking the voting rights of homeowners, which meant it got to choose who the board of directors would be, which upset many people.

In the 1990s, things seemed to be looking up for the Lotherton community. Joyce Public School, the local elementary school, was honoured by the National Quality Institute for its quality education in 1995. There were talks of making the green spaces in the neighbourhood more family friendly. But, the violence was still there - shootings and stabbings continued to give "Village" (a nickname for Lotherton) a bad name.

The 2000s saw significant changes in Lotherton. Around 2007, United Way Toronto began to donate to Lotherton, and soon after, North York Community House was able to become an important part of the community through the Action for Neighbourhood Change (ANC) initiative. Youth programming, the community kitchen, homework clubs, fitness clubs and programming for seniors have all been made possible through this initiative. From here, the future can only be bright.

Chapter vi: Interviews

Amparo (A), Jean (J)

J: How did you hear about the neighbourhood?

A: One Colombian family told us that in the area where he works, they (Greenwin Developments) were building condominiums buildings and that he already did negotiation with the real estate agent. He asked my husband to come to see them and he gave him a ride. The next day we were taking the TTC, and paid the Third zone fare ( as they call at that time) to see the unit at 200 Lotterton.

Caption: Amparo in the green space of Lotherton, 1971

They knew (the real estate agents) that the Spadina Line was being built, therefore the transportation will be easier in the near future. I remember that at least 9 families move within a few days [around 1973-1974].

J: How was the summer and winter like in the neighborhood?

A: At that time it was not parks or recreation area around of the 4 buildings.

**Amparo's daughter in Lotherton, 1973**

Winter was very hard since my friend and I had to walk from these buildings to the former Dominion and former Woolco stores at Keele and Lawrence to get groceries.

J: What are somememories you haveof Lotherton?

Caption: Amparo'sdaughter in a stroller,1973

A: I remember that because we were a quite high big number of families, most of the time we get together in our apartments. We just took turns cooking or baking, but there was always something to celebrate among of us: Birthdays parties, Christmas holidays.

Debbie (D), Jean (J)

D: We came to Canada the year I turned 6. That was in 1974. I was just about to turn 7. My mom had already been here, right? She sponsored us to Canada, and I came with my dad and little brothers. My parents [in July of ’74] purchased their home [in ‘75] and [Lotherton] was a relatively new development, actually. So, they purchased a townhome. It was probably one of the earlier condominium townhome styles. We were just a young family really just starting out. We called it Village as a short form. But it was actually called Greenpark Estates.

J: What was your first impression of Lotherton? I ask this because a lot of

residents got the message that the neighrbouhood was bad and would always be bad.

D: So, all of the people who grew up there – and I’m 50 now – we’re still in contact with most of the people we grew up with. Growing up there…you don’t find that type of community anymore. And I think about it as I raise my own 4 children. I often wish they could experience the same type of community I experienced growing up. Like, you knew everybody, all the parents. And everyone always looked out for each other. For me, it was comfort. I don’t find that today. It’s not the same.

...At that time, you had the community centre (Room 101). There were so many programs running out the centre at the time. You know, Brownies, First Aid Training, tennis court, soccer field and we were all together. I can tell you wholeheartedly that Village is home. It was safe. It wasn’t like after we moved out there was some increased police presence...[but] the messaging wasn’t to not live [there]. I really believe it’s people who are outside of the community coming in with this idea.

A lot of the young people were actually going to school with the Jungle community. For me, it was a little different because I was in the Catholic school system.

I think in any community you'll find that things are fine but when visitors from outside start coming in that you notice a change. It’s often not the people from the community that are giving the trouble, right? One of the things I can say is that where the [Convenience store] is, young guys used to hang out.

I think to this day, those guys still hang out. For a lot of young girls, it was a little bit intimidating to pass by. Your parents are sending you to the store and you have to pass these guys who are hanging out at the corner, all day. From everything, that would be the negativity for me. We would just go in groups because we didn’t want the guys to be calling on us and stalking us or whatever. Aside from that, I felt safe. I think it was the community, like the parents who made sure there were programs available. I was a camp counsellor during summers in the community. We were busy!

I have to [mention] Aileen Shannon. She’s passed away now. She was really instrumental in ensuring that there were a lot of things going on in the community to keep the

youth busy...we had blockos all the time!

J: You had Blockos?!

D: Oh hell yes! I was sneaking out to them. My parents were like “You gotta stay home!” [laughs]. There would a blocko behind the swimming pool [often] on the the tennis court.

J: I get that sense from a lot of the older residents. Some of the younger ones seem disillusioned. They’re eager to move they’re eager to just get out in some way shape or form.

D: The history [of Lotherton] doesn’t come from negativity. I think it’s what they envision about the thoughts [other] people have the community today. But it’s not that!

There’s a lot of really good role models who have come out of this community. If you’re to share anything with the young people you’re working with, the community has hope and it’s something that they can be proud of. This is not a bad community and [they] can actually grow and evolve. And you know what? Community is what you make it.

Nadine (N), Jean (J)

J: What was your first impression of Lotherton?

N: [I moved here in the 90s]. It was horrible. When I first came here, I wondered “why?” because of the way everything was. Everything was rundown, there was nothing properly around the area. You have nowhere to go, nowhere to bring your kids or anything like that, you know? To go outdoors and sit with them… the playground in the back wasn’t like that.

J: What was it like before?

N: It was just an open space. They had a couple of things there but it wasn’t safe for kids to play on, and they decided to put in a new one after.

But this community was...if it was something I could do again, I wouldn’t. But since I’m here and have been living here and have seen how the community is…our big changes came in when Tara and [North York Community House] came in.

That’s when our big changes in the community started developing; you have somewhere to go outside, you have something to do or come back here [to the ANC Office]. That’s how I got to know about ANC. But, we still have a lot to do. And all the people that were living in the community before me, they were trying.

J: I was going to ask you because before, in 2006-2007, what was happening before that as far as people being outside and being busy?

N: [I stayed inside] out of fear, not hanging out. There was no one that you could talk to about it to say OK this happened to me so I’m going to speak to somebody about it so they can try to make a difference or help us out of the situation. There was nobody for that. So we have to resolve that problem ourselves by saying if you come back and do this we’re going to call the cops. Cops usually come around a lot. But, they would say okay, the cops come now but don’t do anything until after [the guys] leave so it still never made the difference

to come and check us to see if we’re safe. So, it was very rough, hard, disgusting. But as I said, it’s improving now. But… even as I said before, walking up the street people would not talk to you. No conversation with anyone because everyone walking with fear. Just to go up and say hi to them [makes them] look at you differently and ask, “Why you saying hi to me?” [They don’t realize] that you as a single mom [want to know] about the community by talking to people who live here before you…But nobody communicates with each other, and that was a big problem for us also.

J: I wanted to ask you about what community means to you.

N: Community is a place that you should be able to grow your kids, be proud of and be able to socialize with everybody in the community and try to build it, you know? People shouldn’t [have to] live in a community where they aren’t able to walk outside without feeling fear. They should be able to feel free. And that’s what I would love to see this community be – free from everything that’s going on. All the young kids who are growing up here can be happy to say that they’re going home, “I’m happy to go into my community” and “I’m happy to be with my friends in this community without fear”. But every day, you wake up and walk out and don’t know what to expect.

You just have to live it how you see it.

J: What does the garden mean to you?

N: It’s my life. I wake up with it in the morning. The garden is somewhere you can go and feel relaxed. It’s like you’re in your own comfort zone. Even people are there with you in the garden, you still feel like you’re by yourself because you’re doing your little gardening and others are doing the same thing.

Many times I go there and I don’t [realize] there are other people there. The only time you know that they’re there is because the gate is open.

But if it’s closed, you wouldn’t know. It’s something that NYCH brought in that has made a difference for a lot of us, not just who is doing the gardening. You share what you reap from the garden from others so it’s something that brings peace, just by sharing. It also shows that a lot of people care about what you’re doing down there.

Chapter v: Our StoriesOur Community

Lotherton feels familiar; you're always surrounded by people you know. Residents take pride in what they have, such as the park,garden and ANC Office. But at other times, Lotherton feels unfamiliar. Sometimes, people blast music in the evening times, which disrupts families from doing every day things like sleeping, eating and spending time with each other.

It reminds me of the kinds of images news media uses to portray "priority neighbourhoods" like Lotherton: violent, criminal and negative ones. When I see those images actually come to life in my community from time to time, it's hard not to question if the media has it right; I see these images all around me, sometimes more frequently during certain times than others. But the way to change thinking is to change what we consume and believe. I believe my community deserves to decide how its stories are depicted.

Our Safety

Having a place like the playground, the garden and the basketball court to chill and hangout makes meeting new people and gathering way less scary! But, these places are bright, available to everyone, visible and there are security cameras around.

In dim-lit places like the stairwells, people sometimes gather and block people from passing by without fear. This makes me feel scared when I walk there, especially as a girl who knows how people view girls who are walking alone (e.g., "asking for it", which is a false and dangerous idea that blames girls for unwanted attention towards them). It's unfair to feel this way in my own community. But having supports like residents and other youth I can talk to make a difference. I'm reminded that I have just as much a right to build and occupy space in Lotherton as anyone else.

Vivian L.

Our Space

Despite being in a confusing location, I love the ANC Office, which actually used to be a doctor's office. Even though it's out of the way and quite small, it holds so much space for people. The Lotherton Youth Council, Village Bloggurls, Homework Club and Residents' Meetings are just a few of the groups that fit into the tiny ANC Office.

Outside of the ANC Office, the community space is sometimes mistreated. On our way to program, we often have to walk around garbage, groups of men, cigarettes, pop cans and garbage bags just to access the space we love so much. It makes me feel like disappointed that people don't respect what the ANC Office has done for this entire community enough to clean up after themselves. Despite this, we have to keep raising awareness about making the changes you want to see. If we have to keep making signs, holding our meetings outside or asking people to pick up their garbage...so be it! The space is too important not to do anything.

Our People

To live in Lotherton as a kid means you'll have the best memories, have great friends and great neighbours. People like Nadine make us feel welcome, safe and special. She always says says hi to us and wishes us a great day at school.

We joined the Village Bloggurls (VBG) because we went to the one in our school and we liked it so much that we wanted a longer version. In VBG could make friends in our community and have a safe space for us to talk about stuff like stereotypes, media and friendships. We feel like we can express ourselves there and have fun at the same time. We made purple slime and glitter jars while learning about how to take care of ourselves when we were stressed out!

We found another community in our community and thatmakes us feel like we belong.

Our Memories

Before Wi-Fi, I had to entertain myself if I was bored and couldn't use the Internet while my parents were on the phone. Bike riding was my activity of choice. My brother and I made a map of the best places in the community to bike and we chose the area behind the 100 building; it was sketchy, bumpy, scary, but enticing at the same time. It was the perfect place.

I decided to use this electric bike I had that wasn't new, but I didn't know how to use it. Trouble: There were rocks at the end of the bike path, so I rammed my bike wheels into them in order to stop. Close call!

This memory is fond because it happened before the improvements to the pavement and basketball court. Now that I see kids creating memories in spaces I didn't have when I was their age, it makes me think about how far Lotherton has come to create room for youth and far we have to go to maintain it.

Chapter vi. Present Images of Lotherton

Community playground surrounded by the four towers.

While the playground is here for kids to play on after school and during the summer, it's old and underused; there's also so much green space surrounding it that doesn't bring anyone outside. Installing permanent umbrellas and seating that's closer to the playground would increase the use of the space, especially for community events like the Lotherton Festival.

A view of the orchard and our two community signs

The orchard is a place to host community events and run the compost program. There's also a parking lot on the outside that people (mostly men) park in even though they aren't allowed to, which sometimes makes it inaccessible. To challenge this, we sometimes hold VBG sessions outside or host events like Halloween parties to send a message: it's our space too!

VBG mentor standing in front of a tree that has blossomed

This is the back of the building the ANC Office is in. There are trees all around this area that often blossom in the summer. Youth often hang around this area. But, there's no community board in the area that tells youth about programs in the community, even though most of them are happening right at the ANC Office!

A view of the basketball court and multi-service court.

This is our basketball court where we hang out and play all kinds of sports. However, we've noticed that the girls often hang around the outside of the court and the boys play on the court. Some girls are scared; others don't feel like they belong on a court where they don't play sports. We make it a point to come here in a group to remind everyone that these courts are not "boys' space"; it's for everyone.

A view of one of the four tower buildings

This is Building 100. On the outside, it's not the most appealing thing in the world. But in it, there's a community room called Room 108, which is used by community residents to run resident-led activities like keyboarding, pingpong and cooking groups, despite its small size. It has been recently renovated due to donations and grants, and now, there's better furniture and lighting, which means improved programming.

A sideview of one of the builings

On each of the buildings, there's a side door. Most of these doors are propped open almost every day. It means we never know if who we're walking by lives in Lotherton or not, and this makes it hard to feel safe in the face of circumstances like these, especially as girls. But, we still walk through places to get to parking lots or the green space. We shouldn't have to take an alternative route to access our community.

Chapter vii: The Future

The Lotherton Youth Council

The Lotherton Youth Council is the new initiative in Lothertonborn in Nov. 2017 that we hope uplifts and inspires youth tobecome more involved in creating change in their community.

Before that time, VBG was organizing workshops and community events because of the need to put into practice our vision for our community - a sustainable, healthy and vibrant one. For example, we planned a games night for our community. We even created jumbo games for kids to use in the summer. When we formed the Youth Council, we knew we had to do something that would last.

Enter the Little Lotherton Libraries project.

The Youth Council applied for the Laidlaw Youth Direct Action grant, which gives opportunities to youth groups to make sustainable change in their community. After a long two months of waiting, the Council received news that it won in June this year!

The project aims to increase access to culturally relevant books by building tiny libraries where residents give a book to take a book. This goal was accomplished in August when the tinylibraries were launched through a celebration.

Knowing that young people made it possible for everyone in the community to access more culturally relevant and diverse books is powerful. It shows just how much potential there is for young people to address the isolation and access issues they've been facing for a long time, and transform their communities.

Chapter viii: ReflectionOur Future Is Bright

While editing this zine, I noticed a recurring theme in every news story and every interview I conducted - the legacy of Lotherton's community leadership and resident resilience. While researching the history of Lotherton, there were so many early stories of violence. Reading it felt depressing, and I could see the same feeling on the faces of the girls as we discovered more and more. Realizing the long history and challenges with the community's condo board was also something I saw hurt the girls as they spoke of continued struggles their families face paying high maintenance fees and seeing little in return.

But despite all these discouraging findings, I see a different side to the community that wasn't very documented in these old newspaper clippings - stories of residents' celebrations of togetherness, such as Lotherton Festivals, Village Bloggurls (VBG) events, Chinese New Year celebrations, 3:3 Basketball Tournaments and most recently, the launch of the 3 tiny libraries.

This zine and the ones before contribute to creating a newhistory and telling a different narrative of Lotherton that centresleadership, resilience, community engagement and action.

This zine and the ones before contribute to creating a new history and telling a different story of Lotherton – one of leadership, resilience and community engagement and action.

While reading the interviews I realized that there has been a change in leadership in Lotherton. So many of the community programs and initiatives were led or initiated by adults in the community. But it’s clear to me that there is a real momentum in leadership by the young people in Lotherton, from the Village Bloggurls, the first long-term media program exclusively for all girls in Lotherton to the new Lotherton Youth Council which was just born last year.

Learning about Lotherton has given me invaluable insight into what happens when people believe they can make a difference, particularly young people. I see a bright future for Lotherton Village.
