Quebec mulling small-business tax cuts, says Liberal Finance Minister‘The economy is doing well,’ Leitao says in conference call with journalists
Quebec’s Liberal government is considering granting tax breaks for small and medium-size businesses as well as individuals before the next provincial election, Finance Minister Carlos Leitao said last week during a conference call with news outlets, including Newsfirst Multimedia.
Economy’s doing fineReporting on the government’s budget results
for the first quarter of the year, Leitao said the numbers confirm two things. “First, the econ-omy is doing well,” he said.
“Secondly, taking into account this good
performance by the economy, the public finances are under control, which allows us to respect our budgetary and debt goals.”
Answering questions from journalists, Leitao alluded to possible tax relief as a measure the government is not ruling out. As things stand, this would have to take place before Oct. 1 next year, which is the approximate date for a general election after the Liberals’ current four-year term expires.
Tax reductions possibleWhen he was asked to elaborate, the finance
minister suggested the government had been eyeing tax cuts for some time, while emphasiz-ing that the government has small and medium-
sized businesses particularly in mind for fiscal relief.
According to a summary of the provincial government’s financial position e-mailed to journalists who took part in the minister’s conference call, Quebec is currently sitting on a relatively small surplus of $98 million for the first few months of 2017.
Renewed sense of confidenceBut Leitao said the Quebec government is
benefiting from a province-wide economic situ-ation reflecting the confidence of consumers and businesses, “and this renewed confidence is one of the main factors in the acceleration of Quebec’s economy.”
He said this was evident in the acceleration of household consumer purchases, which he referred to as “an important indicator of our economic performance,” and that this is further encouraged by the resulting creation of employment and increases in generally available revenue, without adding to existing consumer debt.
Trend continues, says LeitaoAccording to Leitao, investment by busi-
nesses into Quebec’s economy followed suit with all of these factors, “and this investment which is taking place since the second half of 2016 continues to the first quarter of 2017 and we believe it will become even more intense over the course of the year.”
He said that since April 2014, more than 197,000 Quebecers have found jobs across the province, with an average of 4,700 jobs per month. “In order to reach our goal of 250,000 jobs over five years, for the 19 months remain-
ing in the period we would need an average of 3,000 per month, which seems feasible and normal for the Quebec economy.”
Quebec’s unemployment lowQuebec’s unemployment rate of 6.1 per
cent, as recorded in August, “is an unemploy-ment rate that is very low for Quebec,” he continued, while noting that an inventory of salary increases recorded in the province over the past 12 months was the strongest in Canada during that period.
“In conclusion we can say that the finan-cial results are very good. We must continue, however, to be prudent, taking into account the global economic context. Nonetheless, while waiting to achieve budgetary balance, Quebec has a mandate, the ability and the capacity to make more choices. Our priority is to pursue the economic plan we have started.”
Says debt must be monitoredThat plan, Leitao added, includes continuing
to provide the full program of provincial govern-ment services to Quebecers, with particular emphasis on health and education, reducing the tax burden in conformity with commitments the Liberals made in the 2014 election, and maintaining control of the government’s debt.
“We have a debt that is high, which is some-thing we must never forget,” he said. “And we are managing it very well, while maintaining control of this debt, which allows us to maintain invest-ments in our infrastructures.” It’s worth noting that the Quebec government is currently in the midst of implementing the 10-year Quebec Infrastructure Plan for which $91 billion has been allotted.

(PXN) Park Ex-based documentary film-
maker Tony Asimakopoulos has announced
that his latest work, Return to Park Ex, will
have its television premiere on Sunday Oct. 8
at 9 pm on CBC television.
As well, he says there will be a free public
screening followed by a question and answer
period, sponsored by the Park Extention Youth
Organization as part of their 50th anniver-
sary celebrations, on Oct. 21 in the William
Hingston community centre’s main auditorium.
Roots rediscoveredTony calls Return to Park Ex “a bittersweet
love letter to Park Extension, Montreal’s legend-
ary immigrant neighborhood, as seen through
the eyes of its Greeks, past and present, their
South Asian neighbors, and a filmmaker redis-
covering his roots.”
Hidden at the north end of the city’s old
immigrant corridor and surrounded by
affluence and gentrification, Park Extension
continues to be a major gateway for newcomers
to Canada. The Greeks poured into Park Ex
and dominated it in the 70s and 80s, then left
en masse for the suburbs as the South Asian
diaspora poured in.
Leaving Park ExSome think you haven’t “made it” until you’ve
made it out of Park Ex. And many people with
means do choose to stay, resisting the pull of the
suburbs with their long drives and alienation
in order to remain closer to the beating heart
of the city.
According to Asimakopoulos, many Greeks
who left for the suburbs fell into a life of isola-
tion, and a few managed to make it back to
Park Ex and the physical proximity of their
small community. Tony’s film offers a taste of
what immigrants offer to us, aside from labor
and exotic food: a reminder of the struggle of
starting over, and the necessity of accepting and
helping one’s neighbour.
Closer than they thinkIn the three years he was making the film,
Asimakopoulos – the son of Greek immigrants
who is a present day resident of the neighbor-
hood – learned a lot about his oddly intimate
urban village, where people are closer than they
think whether they like it or not .
“I’ve never felt more at home anywhere else,
and many others – non-Greeks, immigrants and
non-immigrants alike, white Canadians and
Quebecois as well – have all admitted to me that
they feel the same way about the place,” he said.
When the beloved Koimisis tis Theotokou
Greek Orthodox church burnt down right after
Easter 2015, the shock and sadness extended
beyond the neighborhood’s Greeks, he added.
“Everyone could feel something was lost, the
corner of de l’Épée and St.Roch is an important
place, an open door into the heart of things, a
sacred spot whether you were religious or not.”
Portrait of immigrantsThe intimate, dramatic and divergent experi-
ences in the film provide an entertaining and
poignant portrait of immigrant culture: the
shared struggle of transition, ethnic tensions,
the comforts and dangers of homogeneity. And
the ways in which people come to depend on
each other.
Asimakopoulos brings his insider perspective
to this immersive, music-filled, multi-character
collage film, in the “symphony of a city” trad-
ition of urban portraits: alternating between
personal stories and the epic, shared moments
of the neighborhood.

Y a-t-il quécun qui veille au gaz?...
Parlez-moiD’HUMOUR
Alcide Borik
Bon! Ça faisait longtemps que nos compagnies milliardaires, polluantes et arrogantes n’avaient pas démontré
le pouvoir agressant de leur collusion dans le monopole de la distribution de l’essence, en venant chercher dans nos poches le gros prix de leurs produits.
Il aura suffit d’un petit Harvey de service pour leur en offrir le prétexte.
À côté de cela, la seule autorité reconnue pour mettre un frein à leur goinfrerie d›argent, avidité qui lèse surtout les classes économiques les plus fragiles se trouve à être juge et partie... et donc complice de cette exploitation éhontée du consommateur, ce sont nos gouvernements : Quelque soient les montants que les abuseurs nous extorquent, Ottawa et Québec prélèvent leurs taxes sur notre facture, les terrains de stationnement grugent notre argent de poche, sans compter les contraventions + les frais (Quels frais?)...
Plus nous sommes abusés par les pétro-lières, plus l’État fait des profits, exploitant, sans faire le moindre effort, la même popula-tion résignée qu’il est censé protéger.
La concurrence que doit apporter la voiture électrique, solaire, au gaz, à l’hydrogène ou même à l’eau, éprouve de grosses difficultés à s’implanter,
Pourtant, ce serait avantageux pour tout le monde, mais la complicité des pétrolières avec les manufacturiers d’automobiles, affecte négativement les surplus mensuel qu’apporte-rait une baisse de nos coûts qui se déverserait dans nos budgets mensuels et se transfére-rait vers d’autres besoins plus criants que la robinetterie en or des villa sur la côte d’azur des petits tyrans du Golfe persique et des «Jeyars» texans qui copinent depuis toujours avec les grands partis de nos voisins du Sud.
Où sont les associations de protection des citoyens ou des automobilistes? Que font la CAA, les éditorialistes des médias nationaux,
et Les défenseurs de l’environnement?
Considérez un moment tout ce que vous dépensez par mois ou par an pour financer des oligarchies qui, de plus ne respectent ni la justice, ni les droits de l’homme, ni les droits de la personne, ni les droits élémentaires des femmes aux études, au travail, aux libre choix de leurs orientations sexuelles, et s’arroge le droit de confisquer les passeports des étran-gers, leur liberté et parfois leur vie... quand ils ne soumettent pas leurs propres citoyens à l’esclavage et au fouet.
Ne serait-il pas temps pour nous, de déclen-cher une «fatwa» contre la grosse consomma-tion en essence?
Faisons durer notre bazou deux ans de plus en économisant assez de sous pour offrir, à nos enfants et à nos concitoyens, un moyen de transport qui fonctionne à n’importe quelle source d’énergie sauf à essence.
C’est valable surtout pour la grande majo-rité de ceux qui ne quittent la ville qu’en train ou en avion qui pourraient fort bien s’accommoder d’un véhicule économique, ne dépassant pas le 70 Km/h (dans des villes où le maximum est de 50 km/h de toute façon!) Et pour les rares fois où il leur faudra quit-ter la ville pour la visite familiale de Noël, le Zoo de Granby, des noce à Québec, une visite de Musée à Ottawa ou autre sortie dans les Laurentides, les voitures de location ne nous coûteraient pas cher... Arrêtons de jouer les machos en faisant vrombir des moteurs péta-radant comme au Grand prix de Montréal, de décapoter notre Porche pour lui faire prendre l’air, de regarder d’un air supérieur des gens qui souvent, n’y prêtent même pas attention ! Tout le monde peut faire ça à crédit! Arrêtons nos VUS souvent suréquipés pour surpasser ceux de nos voisins et donnons l’exemple.
Arrêtons surtout de subir la dictature des champions du marketing, et agissons selon nos besoins... et notre conscience!
Why young Canadians can’t afford to buy a homeUrban fringe land-use restrictions deny the supply of houses
that people prefer, at prices they can afford
Canada’s middle-income housing afford-ability crisis is drawing considerable attention, with good reason. Families
are being squeezed out of the market and the situation is only going to worsen.
Frontier Centre publications, such as the Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey and its policy report, Canada’s Middle-Income Housing Affordability Crisis, have played a major role in this discussion.
A recent issue of Maclean’s magazine high-lights the extent to which many who aspire to home ownership are being priced out of the market for traditionally-preferred detached houses. In the article For many young Canadians, home won’t be a house, author Kevin Carmichael expresses concern that governments, from local to federal, have failed to keep housing affordable.
Carmichael uses the metrics from the annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey, which is sponsored by the Frontier Centre for Public Policy in Canada and co-authored by Frontier Senior Fellow for Housing Affordability and Municipal Policy, Wendell Cox, and Hugh Pavletich of Performance Urban Planning in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The 13th annual report shows that by September of last year, the median house price (including all owned housing types) had risen to more than 12 times annual incomes in metro-politan Vancouver and nearly eight times in the Toronto region. Before adoption of urban containment boundaries in those two metro regions, the median house price was less than the four times annual incomes. Those policies, including urban growth boundaries and green-belts, drive house prices much higher by severely rationing land for new houses.
The result is that many buyers who would prefer a house with a lawn are forced into condo-minium apartments or rentals. Canada, with the world’s most affluent middle class, is rich enough that buyers should be able to afford the housing they prefer, as their parents did in less affluent times.
Urban containment policies severely limit housing choice, especially for younger buyers. Authorities were warned of the housing afford-ability consequences as they considered land-use restrictions. Well-known urban planner Hans Blumenfeld advised Vancouver land-use authorities that their urban containment poli-cies were inconsistent with maintaining housing affordability. In the middle 2000s, I showed that Toronto’s Places to Grow urban containment
policy was likely to drive up house prices.Since then, house prices have doubled relative
to incomes and much smaller condos are more expensive than detached houses were just a decade ago. So much for the idea that building up can solve the problem. A recent Ryerson University report found that building more ground-oriented housing in Toronto (detached, semi-detached and town homes) was necessary to improve housing affordability.
House prices are rising significantly across Canada as housing regulations are tightened. Ailin He and I described the problem Canada’s Middle-Income Housing Affordability Crisis, published last year by the Frontier Centre. Among the more important findings:
-Canada’s house prices have grown nearly three times that of household income since 2000. This contrasts with the stability between growth in house prices and household income during the previous three decades. These house-price increases raised serious concerns at the Bank of Canada and at organizations such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
-House prices rose faster than income in each of the 35 markets reviewed.
-Should mortgage interest rates rise in 2020 as projected by the Conference Board of Canada, approximately 800,000 fewer households will qualify for a mortgage on an average-priced house.
-As noted by Maclean’s, higher house prices appear to be driving buyers into smaller dwell-ings, especially condos, with an attendant reduc-tion in the standard of living for many.
-Middle-income housing affordability in Canada is a profound social and economic crisis that warrants serious and concentrated public policy attention.
Misconstruing the problem as one of demand, provincial governments in British Columbia and Ontario have imposed foreign buyers taxes. While these have resulted in somewhat lower prices, today’s houses in Vancouver and Toronto are above their elevated levels of last year.
Canada’s middle-income housing affordability crisis is the result of provincial and regional government policy. Without liberalization of the urban fringe land-use restrictions that deny the supply of houses that people prefer, prices are likely to continue rising.

Honor and celebrate life in accordance to your traditions, values and customs,
while easing your experience during the difficult moments.
Sikhs from all over the Montreal region gathered at the Shri Guru Ravidass Temple Gurbani Sagar on Durocher St. in Park Extension on Sept. 3 for a religious procession to celebrate their scriptures, their faith and their traditions in harmony with the surrounding community.
Among the dignitaries who accepted an invitation from temple officials to attend the event held on a day of steady rain were Lac-Saint-Louis Liberal MP Francis Scarpaleggia, Pierrefonds-Dollard Liberal MP Frank Baylis, Laurier-Dorion MNA Gerry Sklavounos and Park Extension city councillor Mary Deros.
Two Sikh temples hereThe Shri Guru Ravidass Temple is one of two Sikh places of
worship in Park Extension, a second being on St. Roch street a block east of Querbes Ave. Deros said the presence of the Sikhs is yet another indicator of how peoples from dozens of different cultural backgrounds cohabitate peacefully in Park Extension.
“I’m proud that in Park Ex 115 different cultural communities are able to hold their religious celebrations side-by-side, as well as their cultural festivals, in our parks, in our streets,” she said. “We’re a perfect advertisement for the United Nations. And as our Prime Minister constantly says, we are strong not despite our differences, but because of our differences and our diversity.”
Religious harmonySklavounos noted that the Shri Guru Ravidass Temple Gurbani
Sagar is one of the “strong community temples and organizations in Park Extension. And this is a tradition – this religious harmony parade. I think it’s a good reflection of Park Extension and the harmony that reigns between the different communities here.
“This is a colourful, wonderful event to attend,” he continued. “As you can see it’s raining, but there are plenty of participants here today anyway. I have always felt especially close to this community. They are very good people, very active, very generous and very open. These are all values that Park Extension, Montreal, Quebec and Canada are all about.”

FILIA Walk A Thon raises funds for senior citizens’ needsParticipants had excellent weather on Saturday Sept. 9
The Park Extension Association for Senior
Citizens, otherwise known as FILIA, had
beautiful sunny weather for their 11th annual
seniors Walk A Thon event held on Saturday
Sept. 9 on the streets near their Ogilvy Ave.
headquarters.
Although the area’s Member of Parliament,
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, was unable
to attend, he sent a letter of greetings which
was read out to the several dozen people who
participated, before they out on the walk.
A good and healthy walkThe walkers made their way through the
streets of Park Ex, and then back to FILIA for
a BBQ lunch prepared by volunteers.
VSP Borough Mayor Anie Samson and
Park Extension city councillor Mary Deros
were among those who went along, along with
Laurier-Dorion MNA Gerry Sklavounos, and
Effie Giannou who is running in the City of
Montreal district of Ahuntsic-Cartierville for
Équipe Denis Coderre.
“This is a tradition now in Park Extension,”
said Sklavounos. “An organization that began
working with women today is open to every-
body. Even the term seniors has been stretched
out to include more people so that we become
seniors a little bit earlier. The key is to get people
to be physically active.”
Great day for an event“We are very fortunate to have such a lovely
day,” Samson said in an interview with Nouvelles
Parc Extension News. Deros said FILIA
continues to fulfill an important mission for
Park Extension’s seniors, with the Walk A Thon
being just one example of the group’s work.
“FILIA offers many seniors in the area an
outing – a place where they can come meet
other seniors to take part in activities such as
yoga, or swimming, or apple picking or any
of the numerous activities FILIA offers,” said
Deros. “It gives the seniors a chance to get out
of the house to be with others.”
“They give excellent support and we are
blessed to have this organization in Park Ex
because they do provide these added services
for the seniors,” she continued. “Not all of them
grew up here. Many came back in the sixties or
seventies when there were no French or English
classes and no social welfare programs, so they
didn’t get a chance to learn the language.
Breaking the isolation“For this reason, many are isolated because
of these differences. FILIA provides an outlet
for them and makes that connection between
government officials, when they need to prepare
documents for their pensions or other necessary
things that seniors are often confronted with.
This is where FILIA can come in to help because
they do accompany the seniors to try to find a
best solution.”
The Walk A Thon is held in September every
year as a fundraiser for the FILIA meals-on-
wheels program. While FILIA’s initial mission
was to provide assistance for Greek women of
the Park Extension Hellenic community, its
mandate has since then broadened and people
of every origin are welcome. Some of the servi-
ces FILIA provides are home housekeeping and
supervision, volunteer training and a healthcare
clinic for the feet.

A couple who lived in the South were moving to Connecticut to set up their business of raising Yorkshire Terriers under a new name.
Being new to the area they wanted to come up with a catchy name for their new adventure in the area.
So they settled on the name “New Yank Yorkies”.

One boy throws his bag out the window.
Teacher: “Who just threw that?”
Boy: “Me, and now I’m going home.”
ARIESYou will likely give into your friends’ and family’s eagerness to spoil you. A makeover is in the cards, and you will follow a friend’s advice on how to take care of yourself.
TAURUSSomething will come up to put you in the spotlight. You’ll take care of something or someone neglected by everyone else, and it will earn you high praise. At the very least, you will be warmly thanked.
GEMINIYou may consider buying a house, especially if change falls upon your family situation. You will be thrilled to hear about someone close to you having a baby.
CANCERYou’ll be displaying the gift of gab. Even at work you will be at the heart of stirring conversations, which will allow you to expand your network of contacts and your social circle.
LEOYou will need all your resourceful-ness to get out of a complicated fi-nancial situation. Your silver tongue will win people over and everyone will end up satisfied.
VIRGOYou will have to make a decision without all the facts. Have faith in your common sense, and if at all possible, avoid signing a long-term payment plan.
LIBRAA job offer might be in the works. Take the time to discuss it with your loved ones before diving in, even if it seems like your dream career.
SCORPIOYou will need to be socially active. Consider including your partner more often in your various activities to re-kindle your passion for each other.
SAGITTARIUSExpect your phone to be constantly ringing. Your clients will need you desperately and your friends will be looking for you. Your knack for problem solving will have you in high demand. CAPRICORNYou may decide to trade in your car. But be patient when negotiat-ing your price; the salesman could offer you an even better deal. You may decide on the spur of the mo-ment to go on a trip.
AQUARIUSAfter tallying up your budget, you will realize you have the means to take a vacation sooner than expected. A romantic getaway is on the horizon.
PISCESChange is in the air, both at home and at work. Let emotions settle for a few days before taking action. Some decisions need time to ripen.

IN MEMORIAM & OBITUARIES
BELANGER, Harold
1925 - 2017Born in Ottawa, he moved to Montréal at the young age of 6 and was a long-time res-ident of Roxboro. Passed away at the age of 91 years at the Grace Dart Extended Care Centre in Montréal from vascular dementia. Leaves to mourn his wife of 61 years Alice (nee Chaddock), his children Paul (Herlinde) from Austria and Elizabeth, three grandsons (Johannes, Richard and Alexandre) as well as his sister Ruth Whalen and brother Ronald (Gisèle Léveillé). Passionate sales representative (Agrafbec ltée) and golfer (Summerlea Golf & Country Club) for many years until the age of 88 years old. Sincere thanks to the members of the staff of the 5th floor at Grace Dart for their caring and attention.
ANGIOLI, Vera
1922 - 2017 Peacefully passed away on September 1, 2017 at the age of 94, wife of the late Guido Angioli. Cherished mother of Alex. She will be sadly missed by her grandkids Andrea and Jessica. She will be remembered by her family in Italy as well as many friends in Montreal.
ISABEL, Mary Peacefully and surrounded by love, aged 92. Beloved mother of Jane (Leslie), Greg (Lisa) and Thomas (Linda), cherished grandmother of Rosemary (Malachy), Jacob, Michael, Marilyn, Peter and Grace. She also leaves family members in Denmark, England and California. Mary was predeceased in 2014 by her husband of 65 years, Peter, whom she missed dearly. Born on the island of Fano in Denmark, Mary grew
up in a loving and lively family, the sixth of seven children. An adventurous soul, she left Fano at 16 to live with her sister Sine in Copenhagen where she had a number of jobs, including radio operator for the BBC during WWII. She also trained as a cartographer, a skill which led to her work at Reader’s Digest many years later. At the end of the war, Mary met Peter who was stationed with the British troops in Copenhagen, and they fell in love. They waited two long years while Peter completed his duties as a soldier in post-war England, and were married in 1948, spending two more years in Denmark before setting sail for Canada. Beginning in Toronto, then moving to Vancouver where Jane, Greg and Thomas were born, Mary and Peter made many good friends along the way. In 1967 the family was transferred to Montreal, landing in Pointe Claire. Mary quickly got to know the neighbours and we discovered Stewart Hall by the lake, a lasting source of wonderful experiences over the years.
ARCIERO, Giuseppina
1924 - 2017It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother and grandmother, Giuseppina Gaglione, on August 15, 2017 at the age of 93 years, beloved wife of the late Vincenzo Arciero and loving mother of the late Mary Amalia (late Antonio Iaciofano), loving grandmother of the late Giovanni Iaciofano. Giuseppina will be dearly missed and
lovingly remembered by her son Danny, her grandson Bryan Arciero (wife Ashley and great-granddaughter Evelyn), her granddaughter Mena Iaciofano, her sister Lucia (Virgilio Daguanno), as well as many relatives and friends.
ADAMS, IsabellePassed away peacefully surrounded by her family on September 3, 2017. Predeceased by her husband Harry. Mother of Graeme (Laurel, deceased) and Pamela (Adam). Grandmother of Jaime (Anthony) and David. Sister of Robin (Eileen). Isabelle was a dedicated and pas-sionate nurse and OR Supervisor at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal for 30 years. The Isabelle Adams Award for Excellence in
Perioperative Nursing was created in her honour by the Operating Nurses of Quebec in 1987. Arrangements are under the care of Morris Funeral Chapel, Bowmanville.

‘Notte In Bianco’ raises $400,000 for kids’ mental healthGuzzos’ 10th annual fundraiser breaks the $4 million markMARTIN C. BARRY
The tenth annual Notte in Bianco, a glam-orous charity event held on Sept. 7 at the Terrebonne home of the Guzzo family of multi-screen movie theatre fame, raised almost $400,000 to help fund children’s mental health research.
“With this year, we have raised more than $4 million since we started doing this,” said Vince Guzzo, executive vice-president of Cinémas Guzzo. He and his wife, Maria, launched Notte in Bianco exactly a decade ago.
A passion for charityMaria, who oversees charitable donations
to their foundation, considered the 10-year mark to be an especially proud moment for all supporters. “This is a passion which makes me feel good by giving back to individuals in the community,” she said.
Some well-known celebrities were among the more than 400 guests who paid $1,000 a ticket to take part in something that is widely regarded as a must-attend event on Montreal’s annual social calendar. White is worn as a rule by all guests attending Notte in Bianco.
The star performers this year were the U.S.-based pop vocal group En Vogue. Legendary Quebec singer Ginette Reno was among the special guests, as was Consul General for Italy Enrico Padula.
A star-studded eventThe event’s honorary chairs were
Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. founder and board chairman Alain Bouchard and his spouse Sandra. In the past, the Guzzo family has hosted Corey Hart, Martha Wash from Blackbox, Taylor Dane and many others at their event.
Two years ago, the Guzzos refocused their charitable energies in order to support chil-dren’s mental health research. Profits from their fundraising are now being distributed primarily to the non-profit Kids Write Network (KWN), which offers innovative intervention based on a narrative and therapeutic model taking place in five stages.
Children’s mental healthThe aim is to get children to write books for
other children while sharing their experiences through the exploration of life lessons. Mental health experts estimate that two out of five children are currently struggling with mental-health related issues.
As part of their philanthropic pursuits, the Guzzo family also financed an imaging unit in the Jewish General’s Pavilion K emergency department, a new critical care wing at the hospital. The unit features high-tech, dedicated radiology and tomography rooms.
Other charity donationsThe imaging unit was created to better
accommodate patients from the emergency department and to provide a more functional work environment for health professionals. The unit reduces test wait times for patients in the emergency department, thus shortening the radiology department’s waiting list for patients from external clinics.
Prior to the opening of the new imaging unit, 60 per cent of the available time at the JGH’s radiology department was being used by the emergency department, resulting in a very long waiting list for patients from external clinics. The Guzzo family has also expressed a serious intention to help finance an imaging unit at the Shriners Hospital for Children.
TA big glass of bubbly, courtesy of Moët & Chandon, awaited each of the more than 400 guests attending the Guzzos’ 10th annual Notte in Bianco fundraiser.
Maria and Vince Guzzo, who began holding Notte In Bianco a decade ago, use the event to raise funds for research into chil-
dren’s mental health issues.
Some of the major TV networks were on hand for live reports from this year’s Notte in Bianco.
