While today’s Yorkville is known for its toney boutique shops, hotel towers and posh eater-

ies, its history as the centre of Toronto’s counterculture and fast-growing folk music scene in the 1960s and ‘70s will not soon be forgotten.

Three new Heritage Toronto

plaques – one denoting the area’s history as a whole and two marking the sites of once-famous coffeehouses The Purple Onion and the Penny Farthing – were unveiled at the

Masonic Temple on Friday, May 6 at a special ceremony that featured a concert by Yorkville mainstays Luke & The Apostles and presentations by Jerry Gray of the Travellers and legendary singer Gordon Lightfoot.

Yorkville’s bohemian past served as a launching pad for

the careers of several famous musicians, including Lightfoot, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon. At Friday’s plaque unveiling, Lightfoot reminisced about what made the area so special to him when he was starting out as one half of the

Yorkville’s musical past recognized with Heritage Toronto plaques

It will cost $20 million a year for the next decade for Toronto to build out the entirety of its 10-year cycling plan.

The ambitious plan to spread a cycling network across Toronto will be coming to the Monday meeting of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee – where councillors will look at various options for timing and funding.

But the plan features a total of 525 kilometres of new cycling infrastructure – which adds up

to 1,050 kilometres of cycle lanes counting each direction.

The plan would see feasibility studies at least for city-span-ning bike lanes or cycle tracks extended on Yonge Street from Front Street to Steeles Avenue, along Bloor from Dundas Street West to Sherbourne Street, and further along Danforth Avenue from Broadview Avenue to Kingston Road.

Jane Street would see a bike lane from south of Hwy. 401 to Steeles Avenue; Kingston Road from Eglinton Avenue to the Highland Creek Trail, Kipling

Hodgson Senior Public School alumnae and former staffers will be able to take a trip down memory lane as the midtown school celebrates 100 years on Friday and Saturday.

The school first opened its doors near Mount Pleasant Road and Davisville Avenue in 1915, and Hodgson Senior Public School 100th anniver-sary organizers are marking the milestone 2015-2016 school year with a two-day celebration to honour the school’s long-running his-tory.

“We have two sets of open houses where people can come and just enjoy taking a walk around the school,” said Hodgson principal Ian Wilson.

The festivities will begin Friday afternoon with an open house running from 5 until 8 p.m.

Wilson said the Friday event will be a no-frills affair, with people encouraged to tour through Hodgson, with

more interactive activities slated for Saturday.

“Saturday, we’ll be open from 12 to 5 p.m. and we have different things scheduled throughout that time,” he said. “It starts with an open house from noon to 1 p.m. with a meet and greet and a walk down memory lane.”

Decade rooms will be set up to help alumnae connect with former classmates.

“We have one decade room that spans from 1915 to 1959 because we think the people from those years may be fewer in number than from the later decades,” Wilson said.

Wilson added each decade room will feature photos and artifacts from their respective eras, though the bulk of the photos come from the late

20th century.“In the earlier years, pho-

tography was quite expen-sive, but we do have a lot of handmade items from those years,” he said.

“Then, as we got to more modern years and photogra-phy became easier and less expensive, we started to get a big collection of pictures.

“Strangely, in the cell phone era when everything’s digital, we found we had fewer photos to choose from again, so there’s a lesson there in terms of archiving things.”

In addition to the decade rooms, Saturday will feature live performances from Hodgson’s esteemed arts programs between 1 and 2 p.m. and again between 3 and 4 p.m.

A cake cutting and a few short speeches discussing Hodgson’s importance to the community will close out the festivities from 4 to 5 p.m.

May 8, 1945 will forever be remembered as the day the Allied forces finally claimed victory over the Nazis in the Second World War, and the City of Toronto did its part to keep the memory alive with a special ceremony on Monday, May 9.

The day’s festivities began with the laying of flowers and wreaths on the Old City Hall Cenotaph, with representa-tives from various branches of the military, police, fire department and EMS, foreign nations and veterans of the Second World War themselves taking part.

Following the touching cer-emony, hundreds gathered in Nathan Phillips Square to reflect on the sacrifices made by tens of thousands of Canadians who joined in the war effort.

“I happened to be in Trafalgar Square near Nelson’s Column when people from

Hyde Park and surrounding suburbs began celebrat-ing,” said Second World War veteran Cyril Roach, whose Royal Canadian Navy vessel was docked for repairs at the time. “As the king and queen joined in with crowds, it is a day never to be forgotten.”

Roach noted, while V-E

(Victory in Europe) Day was a time of celebration, in the intervening years it has also become a time to remember the losses taken in the name of freeing Europe from Nazi control.

“Today, as we celebrate the Allied victory in Europe, we also remember the sacrifices

that brought the military suc-cess of the Allies, (and) also the suffering of the civilians who fought on and lost their lives helping the Allies during the years of occupation,” he said.

Theo Hopkinson worked with code breakers at Hanslope Park to help Allied

forces communicate in secret. The work of code breakers was largely unheralded – Hopkinson and others were forbidden to speak of it for 30 years after the war – until recently, when the movie The Imitation Game shed light on the revolutionary work of Alan Turing in cracking there-tofore unbreakable German “Enigma” code. Their work is credited with speeding up the Allied victory by allowing information to pass securely between Allied forces while deciphering messages being sent by Axis forces.

“The work done shaved two years off the war,” Hopkinson said.

She recalled V-E Day as a massive time of celebra-tion.

“A million people took to the streets for the big-gest love-fest you have ever known,” she said.

Fellow veteran Allan Stapleton worked on the Enigma machine, helping to crack the German code.

He noted that Allied intel-ligence managed to use a bit of trickery to help fight the Nazis.

“For example, when we went into Italy, (Adolf Hitler) thought we were going into Greece,” he said. “British intelligence got a dead body, put it in a diplomat’s clothing and put a letter in the pocket saying we were sailing from England and Scotland to Greece.”

Ward 10 ( York Centre) councillor James Pasternak, who hosted the V-E Day cer-emony at Nathan Phillips Square, noted it is crucial to remember the sacrifices made by so many in fighting the Nazis and the rest of the Axis powers.

“Our ability to understand the greatness of the moment is tempered by the realiza-tion that they were so young, and yet the maturity beyond their years ensured that the ultimate sacrifice could sow the seeds of our greatest rewards,” he said.


Rose Avenue Public School and the Mabin School have long made a point of teaching empathy, leadership skills, teamwork and problem-solving to their students.

Now, both schools have received recognition for those efforts, becoming the first two schools in Canada to be named Ashoka Changemaker Schools. The title denotes schools where students focus on helping out others, not just among their own student body but also in their sur-rounding neighbourhoods.

Ashoka is an international association of social entre-preneurs that works to use their talents for the better-ment of society.

Barb Steele of Ashoka Canada noted that becom-ing official Changemaker Schools will enable Rose Avenue and the Mabin School to both serve as role models and learn from other people and institutions that are also making positive contribu-tions to society.

“Ashoka’s role (with the

Changemaker Schools program) is to connect the global community and help the schools learn from like-minded groups on new ways to problem-solve and pro-duce leaders,” she said.

Rose Avenue students highlighted a few of its ini-tiatives that have helped to bring about positive

changes. The school’s Eco-buds and

Eco-team have undertaken energy saving and waste management initiatives to help reduce its impact on the environment, while the school is also looking to implement a “Buddy Bench” that will give kids who have no one to play with a place

to sit so others can include them.

“The school environment here and the learning oppor-tunities they have here…gives the students the skills they need to be changemakers,” said Toronto District School Board trustee Jennifer Arp.

The Mabin School, a pri-vate school for boys and girls

ages 4 to 11, has also made a big impact in its south Forest Hill community. Inspired by guest speakers at their school who are in wheelchairs, some kindergarten students there led a campaign to have local businesses install ramps in a bid to increase accessibility. They even painted a ramp that was installed at one local

business.The students have also

started their own entre-preneurial projects, with a mobile food cart and cupcake sales at a few local bakeries to raise funds for SickKids Hospital and the Daily Bread Food Bank.

Mabin School vice prin-cipal Julie Binsmore was thrilled to have her school named one of Canada’s first two Changemaker Schools, and the first independent Changemaker School.

“It’s delightful because it gives us an opportunity to learn from a whole network of incredible schools around the world,” she said.

Ashoka Canada Fellow Mary Gordon, founder of children’s program Roots of Empathy, noted that both schools were highly deserv-ing of Ashoka’s recognition.

“We’ve seen amazing acts of empathy here – the Buddy Bench and the ramp – from some of the youngest chil-dren,” she said.

Ceremony marks 71st anniversary of V-E Day


Veterans lay flowers on the cenotaph at Old City Hall on Monday to commemorate Victory in Europe (V-E) Day.

Last week’s vote on Uber at Toronto City Council did undeniable harm to two very vulnerable groups in our city.

Taxi drivers form one of those groups. The suite of amendments moved by Mayor John Tory and approved by a solid major-ity of Toronto councillors makes the lives of drivers who don’t own their own plates undeniably worse.

Licenced taxi driv-ers come away from the debate with less stable income, in a position that makes it virtually impos-sible to compete with a potential flood of Uber-X cars and drivers.

And then there is that other vulnerable group – one that’s not vulnerable economically or socially perhaps, but is practically an endangered species in the political ecology of Toronto City Hall: Toronto’s small but vocal group of left-wing council-lors.

Tory left them gasping

in disbelief, after he aban-doned a long negotiation with them to come up with a more progressive and taxi driver-friendly set of amendments, to make a sharp turn to the right and champion a very different, very Uber-friendly set of amendments.

Those amendments mollified some of the bigger voices on the right – notably Giorgio Mammoliti and Jim Karygiannis.

But they left the leader-ship on the left – Janet Davis, Gord Perks, Deputy Mayor Pam McConnell – seething more than usual.

The negotiations had been long, and the left went into the May council meeting thinking they had a deal.

The reversal was a clear indication that the left could count on no reli-

able negotiations with the mayor’s office, so there was no point in trying.

None of this should concern Tory much.

While it’s true he has promised to bring Toronto Council together in a way that no other mayor has, the reality is that Tory does not really need to do so in order to govern.

His natural allies, coun-cil’s centrists and right wing, will support him on most matters.

If the mayor wants to put policy in place that strays to the left, he can rely on council’s left without a thought. Is the left going to vote against bike lanes, public housing dollars, public health mat-ters?

Given that Tory’s man-date seems to be based on offering comfort to voters of nearly every political persuasion, will the left really be able to bring forward a credible, win-ning mayoral candidate in 2018?

Council’s left wing meanwhile, is in a corner. Unless a Bernie Sanders municipal figure emerges very soon, there is very little that a left-leaning councillor can do to harm Tory politically, particu-larly as Tory is far more likely to face a strong chal-lenger from the right.

And as was demon-strated last week, there is scarcely more that left-wing councillors can accomplish in working with Tory and his staff.

They can vote for policies they agree with, of course, but influence them? Put a mark on them?

Well they can certainly try – if, that is, they can put from their minds the May 2016 council meeting, when they and Toronto’s cab drivers both lost it all.

The 10-year cycling plan proposed by the city this week that could see hundreds of kilome-tres of cycling infrastructure built is certainly

ambitious and one that is worth going after in an expeditious manner.

The plan is large in scale featuring 525 kilometres of new infrastructure with bike lanes and cycle tracks proposed in neighbourhoods across the entire city.

This should generate excitement as there seems to be a city-building opportunity here with feasibility studies planned on some of Toronto’s major street corridors including Yonge Street from Front Street to Steeles Avenue, along Bloor Street from Dundas Street West to Sherbourne Street, and Danforth Avenue from Broadview Avenue to Kingston Road.

Like public transit, this plan has the potential of connecting and moving Toronto residents by pro-

viding more travel alternatives especially for those living in the edges of the city where afford-able transportation options are woefully lacking.

Building a connected network of bike lanes throughout the city could also encourage more people to ride their bicycles on

safer, designated routes. The benefits of doing so are many, such as helping

reduce traffic gridlock, promoting a healthier life-style, and decreasing the number of cycling fatalities.

The timing also seems right with growing support from cycling advocates as well as the political will to take action on these issues. Last week’s approval by Toronto Council for a pilot project to put separated bicycle lanes on Bloor Street is a good start.

Of course, an ambitious plan like this has financial implications with the city recommending five levels of funding starting from $8 million a year that would allow for design and delivery of 27 per cent of the proposed projects, and $12 million a year to see half the projects go ahead.

But this shouldn’t be done piecemeal and spend-ing $20 million a year to complete the whole project in 10 years is warranted.

With careful planning, community consulta-tion, and financial accountability, the plan should proceed forward as soon as possible. Any delays in implementation could see costs rise and leave Toronto further behind other major cities when it comes to transportation infrastructure.

It’s about time a city like Toronto catches up and becomes more connected.

Avenue from Bloor Street to the Waterfront Trail, and Midland Avenue from Steeles down to Lawrence Avenue, and the Gatineau Trail to the Waterfront Trail.

Lake Shore Boulevard West would also see a bike path between Mississauga and the Humber River as part of the plan.

Also included in the plan

are off-road cycling routes, and routes along quieter streets.

The question of how to pay for the plans will be up to committee and council.

Staff have recommended five levels of funding.

lowest funding level

The lowest, at $8 million a year, would only allow

for design and delivery of 27 per cent of the proposed projects.

The $12 million annual plan would allow about half of the projects — 51 per cent — to go ahead.

Spending $16 million a year, which staff are recom-mending, would allow 85 per cent of the proposed net-works to go forward, leaving off facilities along Midland

and a 401 crossing at Yonge Street.

Annual funding of $20 million would allow deliv-ery of all of the projects in 10 years.

maximum funding level

Spending $25 million a year would let the whole project be finished in six to seven years rather than 10.

IKEA is coming to downtown – in the form of a pop-up food and accessories shop.

“At IKEA, our vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people, and our commitment to food is an extension of this,” Stefan Sjöstrand, president of IKEA Canada, said in a release. “As a home furnishings retailer, we’re known for pushing boundaries and trying new things and we take the same approach with our food. We want to give consumers the opportunity to think about food differently and this inter-active Pop-up Experience showcases how innovative IKEA is while challenging consumers to #StartFooding in a way that’s healthy, fun

and affordable.”T h e P o p - u p Experience

will be open Friday,

May 13 to Thursday, May 26 at

363 King St.

Two Tones with partner Terry Whelan.

“The first time (Albert Grossman, who would become Lightfoot’s man-ager), ever came to listen to me play…he came to the Purple Onion,” he said.

“You’d do three sets a night in the Riverboat (a coffeehouse at 134 Yorkville that was commemorated with a Heritage Toronto plaque a few years back) and it was not a big deal. You’d play until your chops were almost falling off.”

counterculture

Music historian Nicholas Jennings noted Yorkville was once considered a blight on the city by City Hall, with politicians hoping to quell the growing counterculture and quiet the bustling bohe-mian scene.

Despite their unpopular-ity with politicos, Yorkville’s coffee houses – which famously served harder stuff than just coffee – were vital

in Canada’s emergence on the international music scene.

“Those clubs were pivotal to the rise of music cul-

ture in

this city,” he said. “David Clayton-Thomas

(of Blood, Sweat and Tears fame) said he went to high school on Yonge Street, but he went to university in Yorkville.”

As much as musicians cut their teeth on Yorkville stages, they were also able to meet and form bonds with fellow performers.

Jennings noted the dozens of clubs and coffeehouses were so close, artists could take a break between sets and catch some of a fellow singer or band’s show at a nearby venue.

literary hotspot

While it is credited with playing a vital role in forg-ing Canada’s music scene, Yorkville was also a liter-ary hotspot, a place where a young Margaret Atwood would hold readings and where the poetry of Leonard

Cohen was

first turned into songs.Councillor Kristyn Wong-

Tam was pleased to see Yorkville’s musical heritage remembered.

“( The scene) laid the groundwork for what was going to be a musical revolu-tion in Canada,” she said.

partnerships

H e r i t a g e To r o n t o worked with a number of partners, including the Greater Yorkville Residents’ Association, music store L o n g & Mc Qu a d e a n d Info-Tech Research Group – the current owners of the Masonic Temple – for the unveiling of the new plaques.

Gordon Lightfoot speaks at a Heritage Toronto ceremony at which three plaques were unveiled that will honour Yorkville's bohemian and musical history on Friday.

Maya N., Sweden

Maya was shocked by the change in her hair.Fullness and volume were replaced by thinnessand lifeless hair. She had to do something.

The hair I found in mybrush, in the shower andon my cardigan was unfa-miliar to me. It was thinninglike never before. How couldthis be happening?

I had to do somethingI found out my mother expe-rienced the same problemswhen she was younger, andshe simply accepted her fate.But so much of my personal-ity is in my hair, and I didnot want to have the sameproblems. I had read aboutthe importance of hair nutri-ents, so I decided to focus onthe inside rather than on theoutside, and went looking fora good supplement.

My hair now feels fullerI was recommended anatural product called HairVolume™. I have now usedit for 2 months and I am re-ally satisfied with the prod-uct. My hair feels full andhealthy and even my nailsfeel much stronger. Theshedding has also almoststopped. This is proof to methat proper nutrition on theinside helps you look yourbest on the outside. I highlyrecommend Hair Volume.”

I panicked –

My hair wasthinning!

The Eglinton Crosstown LRT celebrated an important construction milestone this week.

Metrolinx announced the completion of western tun-nelling for the portion of the light rail line to run below Eglinton Avenue. Since June 2013, two massive Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs), nicknamed Dennis and Lea, had painstakingly excavated a tunnel around 50-feet below street level from Black Creek Drive to Yonge Street.

Last year, another pair of TBMs started tunnelling the Crosstown’s eastern underground portion travel-ing from Brentcliffe Road towards Yonge Street. Both of them are currently west of Bayview Avenue.

wcomplete gardiner closure on weekend

Road closures keep coming this month, with construc-tion projects tying up major intersections and snarling traffic.

This weekend will have another transportation

doozy: the shuttering of the Gardiner Expressway – all of it – for spring maintenance work.

wuse presto card at wellesley station

You can now use your Presto card at Wellesley Station.The station is the 28th in the subway and RT network to receive Presto access, and the TTC is promising to have every subway station plus all buses hooked up to the tap-on fare system by the end of the year.

Physical locations where you can purchase an adult Presto card are a little more elusive, but you can buy a pre-loaded card for $20 plus a $6 issuing fee from vending machines at Union, Queen’s Park and Main Street stations. Some down-town Gateway newsstands also have pre-loaded cards

for sale.

wttc driVer praised For good deed

When a TTC bus driver makes the news, it’s all too often for negative rea-sons. But Daniel Clavette at least is receiving some well-deserved praise for his recent actions. Clavette was working his regular shift Monday, May 2 when he came across a knapsack left on the 9 Bellamy bus he had been driving. Opening the bag to determine if there was any identification, he found instead $50,000 in cash, along with funeral papers. It turned out the owner of the bag had recently lost his mother, and the money was likely an inheritance. Clavette did the right thing and radioed transit control, ensuring the bag, with the money intact, was returned to its owner.

The results of a voting contest for naming a public space project underneath the Gardiner Expressway appear to be in doubt.

Voting for the Reclaim the Name campaign to come up with an official moniker for the Under Gardiner project, a planned redevelopment of public space to open next year, ended over the week-end.

However, a “flurry of last minute voting activity” just before the deadline has led organizers to wonder if pro-hibited voting methods were used.

As it stands, two options, the Bentway and the Artery, are tied having secured 34 per cent of the total vote each.

“It’s extremely close, in fact we are not able to call it at this point,” said Christopher McKinnon from Waterfront Toronto, the agency tasked with developing the $25-mil-lion plan.

“As we were watching the results coming in we noticed some suspicious activity that could possibly have been the result of automatic voting, which is prohibited under the Reclaim the Name campaign rules.”

Because of the concern, McKinnon said all of the voting results – 3,500 votes were cast over a 10-day period – need to be reviewed to determine if they are legiti-mate.

“In the meantime, because the result is so close that we cannot call it, we’ve set the

interim results to show a tie between the Bentway and the Artery,” he said.

“We need to go away and do some work to put to rest our concerns that someone may have been tampering with the process.”

Regardless of the final outcome, none of the voting options – which also include the Canopy and Gathering

Place – will have anywhere near than 50 per cent of the final vote.

McKinnon said it was too early to determine if the results will need to be scrapped if the vote is found

to be tampered with.Concerns were initially

raised over Twitter, with screenshots showing the Artery option leading the voting at www.undergar-diner.com just before a “site crash” ahead of the midnight deadline May 7.

After that, it appears the Bentway has the most votes.

Named after the con-crete pillars holding up the Gardiner, the Bentway name was part of the final short-list selected by a jury panel from 884 initial public sug-gestions.

But McKinnon said the site didn’t crash, and strongly denied the result was fixed to favour the Bentway choice.

Regardless of the out-come, Toronto Council must approve the eventual selected name. The Under Gardiner plan will span 1.75 kilome-tres below the expressway from Strachan to Spadina Avenue. Waterfront Toronto hopes to open it by Canada Day 2017.
