Do you have a ticket for speed-ing, not wearing your seat belt, being drunk in a public place or selling alcohol or cigarettes to a minor that you figured you could just blow off?
Think again.With $46 million in unpaid fines
on the books, York Region is about
to crack down on people who don’t pay their provincial offences pen-alties.
Regional council has approved what it is calling “aggressive steps” to make deadbeats pay their tick-ets.
“Unpaid fines are lost revenue to the hard-working taxpayers of York Region,” Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow, chair of the region’s finance committee, said.
Allowing people to not pay their fines “makes a mockery of the whole justice system,” Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti, chair of the region’s police services board, said.
“We have to do whatever it takes to get this money into our coffers. It’s about increasing the revenues, but it’s about increasing the revenues because we’ve spent a lot of money to make sure our bylaws and the Provincial Offences
Act are adhered to. It’s also about the integrity of the justice system and we might as well not have it if, at the end of the day, there’s no ability to (force) the people that have committed the offence to pay up.”
Regional chair Wayne Emmer-son agreed.
“It is important all steps are

to dust we shall return, Hill said. “Only trust in God can really
quell our fears of death. Mere spec-ulations about heaven are a pretty flimsy foundation for hope,” he said. “For Jesus, heaven was certainly not a place to escape to while this world goes to hell in a hand basket.”
However, over the centuries , the Christian church has hijacked the idea of heaven by using it as an instrument of control, Hill said.
“When the Jesus movement became part of the establishment, the hope of heaven and the fear of hell became the perfect tool for ter-rifying people into conformity,” he said, adding “it was a perfect tool for social dominance.”
The most important thing that Christians learned from Jesus is how to die, as He died courageously, trusting that the sacrifice of His life would unlock the prison of fear in which humanity is locked, Hill said.
For Muslims, death is not extinc-tion, but an alternate state of being, Takim said.
When someone dies, the first words Muslims say is “From God we come and to Him we shall return. That is meaning a return from where we came,” he said.
The Qur’an sees death as an encounter, not with God, but with angels, Takim said.
“Death is a continuation of life in a different form. The reference and reminders of death are simply to take death seriously because there is a sense of accountability in Islam that after we die, before we go to either heaven or hell, that God will account for us,” he said.
“Death challenges us to morally elevate ourselves above our mun-dane existence because death is connected to accountability.”
It is important for people of dif-ferent faiths to come together to talk about meaningful issues such as death, Natalie Doucet, a pastoral associate at St. Luke’s, said.
“In a world defined by pluralism, the need for interfaith dialogue is now greater than ever. A true dia-logue is aimed at gaining under-standing and acceptance in spite of differences of opinion and convic-tions,” she said.

Everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.
That provocative issue was part of an interfaith discussion, at times purposeful and other times light-hearted, exploring the meaning of death and immortality from the perspective of Christian, Jewish and Muslim religions.
Hosted by Mosaic Interfaith, a group of York Region residents of many religions including Christi-anity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism, and the Organiza-tion for Islamic Learning, the event May 16 at St. Luke’s Catholic Church in Thornhill brought together about 100 people of all faiths.
It featured guest speakers Rabbi Michael Stroh, rabbi emeritus with Temple Har Zion, Rev. Canon John Hill, a presbyter with the Anglican Archdiocese of Toronto, and pro-fessor Liyakat Takim, the Sharjah Chair in Global Islam at McMaster University.
‘It’s painful, in fact, to
imagine the end of
relationships. It’s difficult
to imagine simply ceasing
to exist.”
Death and immortality are issues that touch a nerve with people like no other, Stroh said.
“There is no other topic that rais-es as much anxiety and ambivalence other than a discussion of death,” he said.
“We all find ourselves in a battle of the forces of life against the forces of death… There is a tragic dimen-sion to life because, at least appar-ently, death always wins. Everybody and everything dies.”
The discussion comes as York leaders try to address the issue of what to do about the region’s dead.
About 232,000 York residents will die over the next quarter century.
While there is enough cemetery land overall to accommodate them, a cemetery needs analysis by con-
sultant LEES + Associates Architects and Planners flagged a number of concerns.
Newmarket is in urgent need of new cemetery lands. Georgina, East Gwillimbury, Aurora and Richmond Hill will soon reach a critical stage, according to the report, one of the first municipal reviews of cemetery lands in Canada.
Some religious communities, notably Roman Catholics, are run-ning out of dedicated cemetery lands, the analysis said.
Adding to the pressure is the fact Toronto is running out of graveyard space and more residents will have to be buried outside the city.
Given the fact it takes more than a decade to locate land, get approvals and build a new cemetery, experts in the field are growing increasingly concerned about running out of graveyards.
While experts have praised the
region for taking the lead on the issues, they have also expressed frustration towns don’t plan for cemeteries as they do with houses, hospitals, schools, recreations cen-tres and other amenities that sup-port growing communities.
Because graveyards don’t pay property taxes, cemeteries aren’t welcome the same way other types of development are, they said.
As far as we know, humans are the only living creatures aware of our mortality, Stroh said.
“Everything that we do is shaped in the face of death. Death is not something that happens at the end, we’re always conscious of it. That’s why we take out insurance, that’s why we look when we cross the street,” he said. “Does immortal-ity answer the tragedy of death? In other words, if you believe that in some way you will live forever, does that remove the tragedy of death?
Does it become OK? If we live forev-er, what will it be like? Surely, it won’t be exactly the same as now.”
People experience an enduring sense of longing on Earth at what we are missing here and what is hinted at after we die, Hill said.
“Heaven is not actually another place like a distant galaxy…Heaven is where God dwells eternally…We like to hijack the notion of heaven and turn it into a place of wish fulfil-ment,” he said.
“It also turns into a contrivance for denial, our mortality. This com-monly takes the form of a naïve cer-tainty that when we die, our life will simply carry on in some new, com-fortable, resort-like setting, accom-panied by relatives, at least the ones we like, and perhaps a pet dog… It’s painful, in fact, to imagine the end of relationships. It’s difficult to imagine simply ceasing to exist.”

Motorcycle rider recovering following collision to avoid geese
A man crashed his motorcycle while riding along a Thornhill street over the Victoria Day long weekend.
The collision occured just after 7 a.m. Mon-day on John Street, close to Bayview Avenue, when the driver swerved to avoid geese in the road, according to York Regional Police.
He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The collision wasn’t the first time a goose and motorcyclist were involved in an acci-dent.
Back in June 2014, OPP officer Pete Tucker suffered serious injuries after he had an acci-dent involving a goose.
He was part of a training exercise in Barrie along Hwy. 11 with about 14 other OPP motor-
cycles when the accident happened.Police believe the collision was the result of
a goose hitting Tucker in the head.Tucker was rushed to hospital and spent
close to two weeks in an induced coma, suf-fered a head injury, a lost leg and other com-plications.
The Ministry of Transportation has sugges-tions for motorist who encounters animals in the road.• Slow down and sound your horn.• Be alert for other animals that may be with the one you’ve seen.• Don’t try to drive around the animal. Animal movements are unpredictable.• If you hit a deer or moose, report it to the local police service or the Ministry of Natural Resources. Do not try to move an injured animal.

Concern grows for rising risk of Lyme disease in York
here are so many health concerns to worry about that it may be tempting to ignore or downplay fears of
Lyme disease.After all, news coverage with
photographs of newborns with tiny heads in South America make us fear the Zika virus, especial-ly with experts predicting it will make inroads in Florida and many southern states in the U.S. where many snowbirds spend their vaca-tions.
Yet Lyme disease is here — now — and has been called the “fastest growing infectious disease in Can-ada”. One researcher predicts that 80 per cent of the population in eastern and central Canada would be at risk of Lyme disease by 2020 because of climate change.
Markham Stouffville MP, Dr. Jane Philpott, our minister of health, kicked off a national con-ference last week in Ottawa on developing a federal framework on Lyme disease — a national strategy to better prevent, diag-nose and treat the disease.
Sadly — and frighteningly — infected ticks that carry this debili-tating, multi-symptom disease are here now, in York Region forests, parks and even private yards.
How do we know this? Veterinarians in Aurora and
other municipalities are finding infected ticks on pets.
A Richmond Hill naturopath who specializes in helping patients with lyme disease is seeing an ever-growing number of people desperate for diagnosis and treat-ment.
Stories posted to our website, such as heartbreaking features on a Thornhill woman who is con-vinced she picked up the disease from her own back garden, and another young student from Rich-mond Hill who started a blog to help others cope with symptoms, get huge reaction and “hits” — as did a story just a few weeks ago about an Aurora vet sounding the alarm.
Nationally, 100 Lyme sufferers presented their own personal sto-
ries at the Federal Framework on Lyme Disease conference.
They highlighted maddening battles to get diagnosed, or frustrat-ing negative diagnoses by doctors in Canada. Many Lyme patients feel like “lepers” or say they are “ridiculed” by doctors who say their symptoms are all imagined.
They told stories about how they couldn’t hold down a job or even leave the house because of symptoms that are debilitating or that sometimes mimic diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis.
In York Region, we can take some comfort that regional health authorities are presenting a much stronger awareness campaign for residents under the ‘Fight the Bite’ theme.
But some local experts say the region’s statement that there were “seven reported cases of Lyme dis-ease in 2015 ... and all were found to be travel related” gives people enjoying our parks and forests a false sense of security.
Those who take the trouble to read and follow the links for Lyme disease on the Region of York web-site will see that anyone who finds and removes a tick is encouraged to bring it to a public health office in Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill or Newmarket for testing. (Go to york.ca and click the links for ‘health’ and then ‘lyme disease’.)
We all want to enjoy the great outdoors this spring and summer, but we all need to do so safely.
An active regional Lyme group meets each month in York Region to share information and hear from experts; you can find the York North Lyme Group on Facebook or email [email protected].

Project not suitable for plazaRe: Backlash intensifies over taller Sobeys plaza project, May 12.
My husband and I live in the area and we attended the original meeting when RioCan told us about their original misguided pro-posed plan for the Sobeys plaza.
I stood up and voiced my strong concerns and I felt like nobody listened to anything any of the resi-dents had to say. It was as though RioCan placated the residents and told us what they “thought” we wanted to hear.
The second meeting with RioCan was a com-plete sham, as they had already presented their proposal to the City [of Vaughan] before the meet-ing even took place.
We, along with the rest of the community, are frus-trated and angry because this is not just any mall-shopping area. It may be the only kosher plaza in all of Canada.
There are people who come from out of the city just to shop at the kosher
SEND A LETTER: Email letters to [email protected]
Sobeys. Nowhere else will you find a kosher Sobeys.
The rest of the mall also serves the Jewish commu-nity, with kosher restau-rants and kosher medica-tions at the Shopper’s Drug Mart.
The traffic study they did was not done just before Shabbat or near a Jewish holiday when the parking lot is so busy they need traf-fic officers there just to keep the peace.
If you remove parking spaces or add extra people because of the condo, a bad problem will only get much worse.
This plaza is not the right place for a condo. It doesn’t even follow the city’s official plan and it’s right next to a school.
RioCan talked about doing the work at night so that it wouldn’t disrupt the school, but what about the residents it would disrupt during the night hours when they are proposing to do the work?
I would hope that our councillors and the Ontario Municipal Board turn Rio-Can down flat.
There is plenty of other land available for con-dos (not that the City of
Vaughan needs any further condos).
Thornhill is overcrowded as it is.
The roads were never built to handle the amount of traffic they get now. Crowding during the morn-ing and evening commute is really horrible now. Can you imagine what it will be like with a 20-storey condo added to the mix?
I really hope that this proposal is turned down and RioCan is sent pack-ing. They are arrogant and show a total disregard for our community.
There is no place for this project in our community.
I hope someone will lis-ten to us and do something to stop this development.

Grateful survivors organize Blue to New gala in Thornhill to honour surgeon, cancer coach
Richmond Hill resident Marie Taurasi’s upcoming charity event will honour two people who helped her most in her fight against colorectal cancer.
The June 4 Blue to New dinner/dance fundraiser for the Colorectal Cancer Associa-tion of Canada will honour Taurasi’s surgeon, Dr. Shady Ashamalla. The other honouree is Filomena Servidio-Italiano, director of education and clinical information for the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada, who also oversees its national Cancer Coach Program.
Taurasi calls her an “angel”.Taurasi remembers how scared and wor-
ried she felt when diagnosed in January 2015.
“All I could think of was the heartache my husband and two children were feeling and what also went through my head at the time was ‘what is going to happen to me?’ My life and world as I had known it were shattered. This could not be happening to me … can-cer?” she described via e-mail of the initial diagnosis shock.
When Taurasi contacted Servidio-Italiano, she put Taurasi in contact with Dr. Ashamal-la at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre’s Odette Cancer Centre.
“I am where I am today because she con-nected me to the best oncologist at the time for colorectal cancer,” Taurasi said.
Servidio-Italiano educates cancer patients on diseases, medications, treatments and other information, Taurasi said.
“She steers us and helps us get to the best possible treatment for our diseases,” Taurasi said.
“From the moment we spoke, I knew I was in the best hands possible,” Taurasi said. “She calmed me down and educated me on my disease, which I knew nothing about. I had heard very little about colorectal cancer and never truly understood it. She changed all that,” Taurasi said.
Similarly, when Taurasi met Dr. Ashamal-la, just talking to him, she knew everything
was going to be okay.“He is the kind of doctor who goes beyond
the boundaries for his patients … he truly is an amazing doctor,” she said.
Taurasi had radiation and chemotherapy for her colorectal cancer in March 2015.
Colorectal cancer starts in the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which is the lower part of the body’s digestive system. During diges-tion, food moves through the stomach and small intestine into the colon.
It is estimated more than 25,000 Canadi-ans this year will be diagnosed with colorec-tal cancer, and sadly, 9,000 will die from the disease in 2016.
Both the medical community and survi-vors feel it is very important to raise aware-ness and educate the public, as it is 90 per cent curable if caught in the early stages.
“I was scared and worried. He (Dr. Asha-malla) made me feel re-assured that every-thing was going to be alright,” she said.
After Taurasi told people she wanted to honour Dr. Ashamalla, there was a long line of patients who also wanted to talk about him and honour him, Taurasi said.
“He goes beyond what a normal doctor would do. He just took care of me,” Taurasi said. “There should be more doctors like him. He should be recognized.”
Thornhill resident Roslyn Fitzpatrick also benefited from Servidio-Italiano’s help.
She was diagnosed in February 2002 at age 42 with colon cancer. At the time, she had two young daughters, age 4 and 2.
Fitzpatrick remembers what it is like to be diagnosed —“Your life is spiraling out of control”.
She went looking for answers and support and found the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada.
She, too, describes the huge advantage of having a cancer coach such as Servidio-Italiano.
“It gives you that sense of control at that
very critical time in your life.”Today, Fitzpatrick has been cancer-free
for 14 years and spreads the word about early colon cancer diagnosis and treatment.
In addition to recognizing Servidio-Italia-no and Dr. Ashamalla, Taurasi also hopes her event spreads awareness of colorectal cancer and raises money for the cause.
Taurasi’s goal is to raise $100,000. Net proceeds will go to the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada.

Thornhill student shows heartfocusing on medical research
By Simone [email protected]
When Bailey Bernknopf was only five months old, she was diagnosed with a con-genital heart defect.
Today, two heart surgeries and many pro-cedures later, she just completed her third year at Wilfrid Laurier University.
Bailey has been volunteering for the Heart and Stroke Foundation as an ambassador speaker since she was about 14.
The Thornhill native is determined to reach more of her goals.
After completing her undergradu-ate degree in health sciences, she hopes to get into medical school.
Last year, she started a club for The Heart and Stroke Foundation at Wil-fred Laurier Uni-versity to promote healthy, active living
and to fundraise for the foundation.In addition to promoting the annual Ride
for Heart, Bailey hopes to advance heart dis-ease research by working in a Heart and Stroke Foundation-funded lab with Dr. Craig Sim-mons at the University of Toronto, where he is associate director of research for the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering.
Dr. Simmons is investigating a treatment for valve disease that affects the aorta (the large vessel that carries blood from the heart).
BAILEY BERNKNOPF
GOOD TO KNOW:
The Heart and Stroke Foundation hosts the 29th Becel Heart & Stroke Ride in Toronto to help sup-port critical life-saving research.
The event is Canada’s largest single-day charity cycling event. Participants can enjoy a traffic-free Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway through a Run/Walk, as well.
Money raised from the event will help the foun-dation achieve its mission to prevent heart dis-ease and stroke, save lives, and promote recovery for survivors.
By participating in the Ride for Heart, not only do you raise funds to improve the heart health of all Canadians, you will also be contributing to your own. Lack of physical activity is the most preva-lent risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
The Ride sold out early last year.
The event is Sunday, June 5. The 75-km route starts between 6 and 6:30 a.m. All other riders participating in the 25km or 50km routes can start any time after 6:30 a.m. with a latest start time of 9 a.m.

Drivers rack up $46M in unpaid fines in York Regiontaken to ensure offenders live up to their responsibilities and pay court-ordered fines,” he said.
But while some legal experts defending York Region clients sym-pathize with the region’s goal of retrieving unpaid fines, they doubt the steps will make much of a dif-ference.
“I think it’s cheap PR. You can’t really believe these are effective col-lection methods if you know any-thing about what provincial offenc-es courts are like,” criminal lawyer Yaro Obouhov said.
“I’m guessing it’s some city bureaucrats who know nothing
about that, who pitched that idea. It seems like a good idea and we look tough on people who don’t pay their fines and don’t respect the law. Instead of studying the root causes, they just came up with some Band-Aid solutions and this is going to go nowhere, in my view.”
The region administers the second largest provincial offences court system in the province, based on the number of charges filed, with courts in Richmond Hill and New-market.
People can be charged with pro-vincial offences (or non-criminal charges) for a number of infractions, including speeding, careless driving, not wearing a seatbelt and using a
cellphone while driving. The region’s proposed beefed-up enforcement strategies would include more than doubling the number of collection agencies it uses to recoup unpaid fines, up to 10 from the current four, partnering with local municipalities to collect fines through property tax bills, administering property liens or garnishing wages and adding additional administrative charges to defaulted fines to recover the full cost of collection.
But the worst offenders are peo-ple who have no interest or abil-ity to pay hefty fines against them, Obouhov said.
“The average citizen, it’s not going to affect because they just pay their fines and move on. The worst offenders, they won’t pay no matter what you do to them,” he said.
“They tend to live outside the realm where York Region can collect these fines, in that they tend not to own property and the job they have, it’s not that easy to garnish a wage of somebody who works for their cousin’s roofing company and gets paid in cash and that typically is your worst offender.”
Recouping money is extremely difficult, he said, adding the region should consider reducing fines to a level where people have a chance of
paying them off.“It’s the stick and the carrot. To
me, if you have somebody who can’t work because they lost their licence and they lost their licence because they owe $35,000 or $50,000 in fines, then do something to give them a way out — a reduced payment so they can pay something,” he said.
But politicians are likely not going to go that route because they would get flak for imposing full fines on residents who readily pay their fines and giving a break to people who don’t pay, he said.
Often, people who rack up thou-sands of dollars in unpaid fines do so in early adulthood when they are irresponsible. As they mature, they aren’t able to pay the fines and con-tinue to break the law because they have to drive a vehicle for work and fulfil other responsibilities, Chris Conway, president of paralegal company OTT Legal and a retired Toronto traffic police officer, said.
Imposing harsher penalties will create more hardship on those peo-ple, he said.
For example, referring people to collections agencies often means offenders aren’t given the opportu-nity to negotiate a payment plan to pay their fines off over time, Con-way said.
At the same time, he advocates police using existing authority to immediately seize the vehicles of drivers with suspended licences.
That would lower the number of people on the roads without valid licences and insurance and would also prompt drivers to pay their fines immediately and refrain from breaking the law again, he said.
The only new idea proposed by the region is recouping outstanding fines through property taxes, crimi-nal lawyer Arman Farjoud said.
He doubts the measure would have much of an impact on paying down the outstanding $46 million.
“How many of these people (with hefty fines) actually own property and how effective will that be? I highly doubt people who own property are not paying these fines,” he said.
“I almost feel like this is a com-plete waste of resources, in terms of trying to gather up how are we going to collect this money. They will probably be spending a signifi-cant amount more money trying to get that large number…than actu-ally collecting any of that. Certainly slapping on more fines is only going to increase that number.”

York Region looking beyond ‘The 6ix’ to tackle traffic woes
By AmAndA [email protected]
During the morning commute, every 10 minutes or so, you can hear a report on the radio about traffic issues or incidents.
More often than not, traffic and congestion are reported for south of Steeles Avenue.
The impact of just one incident on Hwy. 404, south of Steeles, can be felt as far north as Newmarket, said Angela Gibson, head of per-formance, monitoring and research with York Region’s transportation services department.
“The discussion about congestion is domi-nated by Toronto,” she said. “We always hear about things south of Steeles.”
The region is hosting a free, three-part, interactive discussion panel, Traffic Beyond the 6ix, tackling the issue of congestion and its impacts in an effort to come up with creative solutions.
“We don’t have all the answers,” Gibson said. “We want to hear what the issues are for different residents using different modes of transportation. We want to hear their stories and how they respond to congestion.”
Beyond the 6ix goes beyond looking at traf-fic signals, road widening and public transit.
“This is not about just the nitty gritty traffic lights,” Gibson said. “This is about how con-gestion impacts the day to day.”
The panel discussion will feature experts from various sectors discussing the impacts of congestion, including health care, academ-
ics, car insurance and transit.Several traffic and congestion studies have
revealed residents in the region on average have one of the longest commute times, about 32 minutes one way.
Congestion not only impacts quality of life, but also where people choose to live and work and where businesses choose to locate, Gibson added.
The focus will be on finding and optimiz-ing solutions, whether it be road tolls, carpool lanes or using automated cars.
Another component is how technology and transportation can go hand-in-hand.
Along with solutions, the region wants to learn how residents get information about local traffic issues – radio, traffic apps or real-time GPS notifications.
Ideas stemming from the Traffic Beyond the 6ix series will be part of the region’s con-gestion management plan, to be completed this fall.
Traffic Beyond The 6ix:
• Location: Markham Pan Am Centre, 16 Main St., Unionville;• May 31, 7 p.m.: Roads Well Travelled: Con-gestion in York Region • June 7, 7 p.m.: Clearing the Clog and• June 14, 7 p.m.: TECHnical Decongestion

Here’s good news if you’re plan-ning on putting your house up for sale.
The average price of a resale home in York Region increased by 13.5 per cent in 2015 to $777,927, Paul Bottomley, York Region’s man-ager of policy, research and plan-
ning in the economic development department, said during a presen-tation on the state of the region’s economy.
That has jumped from $491,883
Hot housing market drives resale homes through rooffor the average resale home only five years ago.
Meanwhile, the price is almost 70 per cent higher than what the prov-ince deems is the maximum afford-able homeownership threshold for the region.
That stood at $459,000 in 2015.“There is an increasing gap
between this affordable threshold and the average resale price, with the gap increasing considerably over the last few years,” Bottomley said.
If the price of new homes were included, which sat at an average of $987,106 at the end of 2015, the gap between the affordable housing threshold and the cost of buying a home in York would be even higher.
The typical price of a resale home in the region is 25 per cent high-er than the Greater Toronto Area, where the average is $622,217.
Showing Strength
The region continues to show strength in the residential resale market, recording the highest num-ber of resales ever in 2015, at more than 19,100 sales, Bottomley said.
“All in all, going back over the last few years, the resale market contin-ues to be very strong in York Region, which has reported above 16,000 resales annually since 2009.”
The average price of a resale sin-
gle detached home in York in 2015 was $943,411, up 15 per cent over 2014.
For a semi-detached home, the average price last year was $606,779, up 13.8 per cent over the year before.
The average townhouse cost $575,427, up 12.2 per cent.
The skyrocketing prices can be attributed to a number of issues, including a lack of houses for sale compared to demand, resulting in more competition and aggressive offers, Bottomley said.
Housing prices have been driven up by a lack of “ground-level” hous-ing such as detached, semi-detached and townhouse homes, Jason Mer-cer, director of market analysis with the Toronto Real Estate Board said.
“I would say the biggest story over the last year has been the short supply of listings. There aren’t a lot of homes out there for people and when that happens, you see price growth.”
All those inflated housing num-bers may not be good news if you are purchasing.
“Some people can’t even afford to get into the market. When you think about people in their 20s and 30s wanting to do starter homes, they’re never going to get there. Even if they do, they are going to be paying an incredible amount of money just to stay housed,” said Mary Ann Proulx, executive director of York Region’s Citizens for Affordable Housing.
“The average one-bedroom apartment rents for $1,000 a month in York Region, and try and find that. We’re in a housing crisis. I don’t know what the solution is, but something’s got to give.”
Building permits were issued for 9,546 new houses in York last year, a 51-per-cent increase over 2014, Bot-tomley said.
Across Canada, York is fifth in the number of residential building per-mits issued last year, behind Greater Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary.
York is seventh in Canada for industrial, commercial and insti-tutional construction, with almost $927.5 billion worth of construction last year.
The 2015 total construction value in the region was almost $4 billion, the highest ever recorded.
other highlightS:
• York’s population is almost 1.166 million or 16.2 per cent of the GTHA total.
• The region welcomed about 21,500 new residents last year, a growth rate of almost 2 per cent.
• Markham grew by 8,000 resi-dents last year, a 2.3-per-cent increase. The majority of growth is in Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan.

Women’s golf tourney in Thornhill boosts regional Hill House Hospice
An upcoming charity golf tournament for women members of the Thornhill Golf & Country Club in Thornhill will boost the regional Hill House Hospice facility.
The golf club’s Ladies Charity Committee, working hard since January, has organized a June 7 tournament to be played at the Thorn-hill golf course.
Featuring a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m., 18 holes on the long course and nine on the val-ley course, with a silent auction and lunch fol-lowing the tournament, the event has already raised more than $25,000. Organizers are opti-mistic they will reach their goal of $35,000 for Hill House Hospice through hole sponsors, silent auction and raffle items.
Based in the center of Richmond Hill, Hill House Hospice is the only residential pal-liative care facility in all of York Region. With a team of caring volunteers and staff dedicated to terminally-ill people and their families, the facility delivers high-quality hospice care in a home-like setting.
The facility provides a peaceful, comfort-able and meaningful environment for patients and their families, while caring for their physi-cal, emotional and spiritual needs.
Because Hill House Hospice is only partly funded by the Ministry of Health, it relies heavily on the generosity of individuals and corporations in the community to help finance patient care.
The Thornhill Golf & Country Club was established as a golf and country club in 1922 on Yonge Street in Thornhill and was open to both male and female members. In the very early years, a female player had to join with a male member and also play golf with him.
In the 1970s and 1980s, a group of about nine Thornhill Golf Club women made a presence for themselves at the club, playing together for many years as “the Prissies”. As women golfers made more progress in the sport, they became more of a force at the Thornhill club, establishing their own com-mittees and ladies golf sections with equal rights as male members.
Over the years, the Thornhill Golf & Coun-try Club has grown to 1,274 members. In addi-tion to having one of the most challenging and beautiful courses designed by renowned golf course architect Stanley Thompson, it has an active female membership. The club also welcomes families, offering curling, tennis, fitness, bridge, and social memberships.
In recent years, women members of the club have hosted an annual charity golf tour-nament to help various charities in the com-munity.

Paramedics speed up
response times despite 30% boost in calls
BY LISA [email protected]
If you need an ambulance, you’ll be pleased to hear York Region para-medics are getting to emergencies faster than ever.
In 2015, the region’s 550-plus para-medics transported about 74,000 patients to hospital. That’s up from 57,000 in 2010, the region’s Emergency Medical Services Chief Norm Barrette said.
Between 2010 and 2015, 17,000 more people called for an ambulance to take them to hospital, a jump of 30 per cent. Nine times out of 10, paramedics got to a patient’s side in 11 minutes and eight seconds in 2015. That is an improvement from 12 min-utes and 52 seconds in 2010.
“Why we are really wanting to rec-ognize the great work of York Region’s paramedics is that the need for para-medics has grown at the same time the effectiveness of achieving shorter response times has been successfully achieved,” Barrette said.
“You put both of those factors together and… paramedics services in York Region is delivering excep-tional services.”
The decrease in response time is all the more impressive because para-medics are encountering more con-gestion on the roads, Barrette said.
EMS has taken innovated steps to improve response times, including texting paramedics to guide them to patients more quickly, a public educa-tion campaign called #Get2UFaster that informs residents of steps they can take, such as pulling over for flashing lights, unlocking doors and clearing a path to a patient, to help paramedics respond more quickly to emergen-cies, reducing the amount of time it takes paramedics to transfer patients to hospitals’ care and expanding com-munity paramedicine programs that reduce avoidable 911 calls.
Calls to paramedics have increased during the last five years because the region’s population has increased and aged during that time.
“As more and more residents enter into their senior years, then a higher percentage of the population has a higher probability of needing para-medics. That’s been the biggest driv-er,” Barrette said.
“From 2011 to 2021, 49 per cent more residents will need to be trans-ported to hospital by paramedics and the big component of that drive was the demographic shift, the growing population that will be moving into their senior years.”

Five men have been arrested and charged in connection with a series of robberies in York and Peel regions.
Investigators with the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit, with the assistance of the Peel Regional Police Central Robbery Unit, made the arrests in connection with seven robber-ies committed in a four-month period that
began Feb. 17.The suspects are believed to be respon-
sible for robberies in Brampton, Markham and Vaughan.
In each of the robberies, men — some of them armed with guns — entered either gas stations or convenience stores, making demands for cash, cigarettes and lottery tick-ets.
Suspects were identified with the assis-tance of video surveillance.
On Friday, May 20, shortly after 4 a.m., officers arrested four men in a vehicle in front of a residence in Toronto, after they were sus-
pected of committing a convenience store robbery in Brampton.
Located in the vehicle were a loaded .22-calibre handgun and a replica firearm, police said.
A fifth suspect turned himself in to police on Monday.
Charged are Sagar Sharma, 19, of Toronto; Tegh Singh, 22, of Brampton; Charanjeet Singh Kler, 19, of Vaughan; Gurtej Dhaliwal, 18, of Brampton; and Ajay Sharma, 19, of Toronto.
Charges include robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent and various weapons
offences.The accused appeared at the Ontario
Court of Justice in Newmarket on Tuesday for bail hearings. All of the accused are sched-uled to appear next at the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket on June 3.
Anyone with information is asked to con-tact the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 6631, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, leave an anony-mous tip online at www.1800222tips.com, or text your tip by sending TIPYORK and your message to CRIMES (274637) starting with the word YORK.
