Together, We're Building Community on Every Corner Together, we’re building community on every corner. 2006 HONOUR ROLL the ‘giving city’ In 2006 Toronto gave its very best The 50th anniversary of United Way came to a close in a remarkable way this past year. As the organization celebrated a half-century of service, Torontonians responded with incredible generosity. The result? The people of Toronto raised a record-breaking $106.8 million for United Way of Greater Toronto—the second largest United Way fundraising achievement in all of North America. The generosity of United Way donors was not only record-breaking—it enabled United Way to increase core funding and grants to member agencies and target more dollars to strengthening priority neighbourhoods, creating opportunities for youth and helping newcomers fulfill their potential. All these vital areas of support help make Toronto a better city for us all. Without you, there would be no way. The people and organizations whose names you see listed in this publication all share something in common—they are united by their commitment to making Toronto a better, safer, stronger city for all of us. They believe in the power of community and know that United Way and the work of its agencies play a vital role in the lives of many. The Honour Roll is United Way’s small way of saying thank you. It is the unwavering commitment of our supporters that help make dreams a reality for the people who depend on United Way. You help create opportunities for youth that might otherwise not be possible. You help fulfill the potential of our city’s newcomers, giving their knowledge and experience a chance to shine. You help strengthen our city’s neighbourhoods bit-by-bit, step-by-step. Everyone has dreams but your support takes it one step further—you make those dreams happen. Throughout this publication, you will find profiles of people who explain why they get involved and give to United Way. Each of them has his or her unique reasons but in essence, their generous nature stems from a sense of personal responsibility. They give because they believe they have a role to play in improving the lives of others. Their outlook on life is honourable and we commend them for their generosity. While I’m on the subject of support and commitment, I must extend a sincere thank you to KPMG for their sponsorship of this year’s Honour Roll. In addition to being a generous annual donor, they also appreciate the importance of recognizing others who support United Way. Without their financial backing, this wonderful publication would not exist. Thank you KPMG. Without you, there would be no way. Frances Lankin President and Chief Executive Officer, United Way of Greater Toronto It gives me great pleasure to extend my sincere thanks to the people and organizations featured in this year’s United Way Honour Roll. You are proof that Torontonians truly care about one another and this means a great deal to our city. As United Way donors, you clearly understand the value of the work United Way agencies do. You appreciate the challenges faced by families, youth, newcomers, seniors and people living with disabilities. You know that when people are given the support and tools to succeed, great things can happen. On behalf of Toronto City Council, I congratulate you for your dedication and generosity to United Way and the City of Toronto. You have set a remarkable standard for social responsibility. David Miller, Mayor of Toronto 1 It’s the support of the individuals and organizations you see in this Honour Roll that make the efforts of over 200 United Way agencies across Toronto possible. The lives of children, seniors, newcomers, youth and families all benefit from the programs and services offered throughout our city. The giving nature of those who are featured in this publication was made all the more evident by the record breaking funds that were raised this past year. The city went above and beyond the call, and as a result, the difference United Way agencies make is going to be felt that much more by the people who depend on United Way programs and services. As the 2007 Campaign Chair for United Way, I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to the supporters featured in this year’s Honour Roll. They clearly recognize the value of the work done by United Way and the impact their dollars can have on our city. Tim Penner President, Procter & Gamble Inc. 2007 Campaign Chair Thanks to the incredible generosity and commitment of our donors, United Way of Greater Toronto managed to raise an impressive $106.8 million in 2006—$10.5 million more than was raised in 2005. With $46.1 million of these dollars coming from Leadership donors, including $20.6 million from gifts of $10,000 or more, this commitment is significant. In total, Kirby Chown Chris Clark Eric Tripp Leadership giving now represents 43% of Ontario Regional Managing Partner, Chief Executive Officer, Co-President, our total annual campaign achievement. McCarthy Tétrault LLP PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP BMO Capital Markets 2007 Co-chair, 2007 Co-chair, 2007 Chair, The impact of this generosity is measured Leadership Giving Leadership Giving Major Individual Giving in the improvement in people’s lives, stronger neighbourhoods, and a city that becomes better as a whole. At its core, this generosity is a vital investment in lasting change for the well-being of Toronto. This immense support makes so much possible. Without it, there would be no way. 2 Rising to the Leadership Challenge When it comes to leadership, there are a handful of Torontonians whose million dollar gifts have inspired others to play a bigger part in strengthening our city. By initiating Leadership Challenge Grants, these people have essentially doubled the impact of Leadership donations by providing matching funds—and inspiring others to give more than they might have otherwise. Their genuine desire to make Toronto a better city is evidenced by their generosity.

Earlier this year, the facility was granted a six-month extension until December 16, 2020, to address the substantial economic impact on the community of shutting down the facility. The government of Ontario recognizes the importance of the forestry sector and supports a longer-term transition plan to find alternative uses for the waste biomass, however this transition plan will take time to implement (i.e., approximately five-years). In light of the implementation considerations, I am asking the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to enter into preliminary discussions with Atlantic Power and report back on potential options to contract the Calstock facility for five-years. These discussions should ensure ratepayer value while considering Atlantic Power’s revenue requirements. The IESO may also wish to consider reducing the generator output where feasible while considering impacts on local forestry operations. Re- contracting Calstock would help mitigate impacts to the waste biomass supply chain in northern Ontario, while they transition to alternative uses over the long-term.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-41607-8 - Self and Salvation: Being Transformed David F. Ford Frontmatter More information Self and Salvation Being Transformed This eagerly awaited book by David F.Ford makes a unique and important contribution to the debate about the Christian doctrine of salvation. Using the pivotal image of the face, Professor Ford offers a constructive and contemporary account of the self being transformed. He engages with three modern thinkers (Levinas, Jüngel and Ricoeur) in order to rethink and reimagine the meaning of self. Developing the concept of a worshipping self, he goes on to explore the dimensions of salvation through the lenses of scripture, worship practices, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the lives of contemporary saints. He uses different genres and traditions to show how the self flourishes through engagement with God, other people, and the responsibilities and joys of ordinary living. The result is a habitable theology of salvation which is immersed in Christian faith, thought and practice while also being deeply involved with modern life in a pluralist world. David F.Ford is Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, where he is also a Fellow of Selwyn College and Chairman of the Centre for Advanced Religious and Theological Studies. Educated at Trinity College Dublin, St John’s College Cambridge, YaleUniversity and Tübingen University,he has taught previously at the University of Birmingham. Professor Ford’s publications include Barth and God’s Story: Biblical Narrative and the Theological Method of Karl Barth in the Church Dogmatics (1981), Jubilate: Theology in Praise (with Daniel W.Hardy,1984), Meaning and Truth in 2 Corinthians (with F.M.

  • 2003 Annual Report
    Labour Community Services of Toronto 2003 Annual Report Labour Community Services is a project of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council in partnership with the United Way of Greater Toronto Message from the President of the Board of Labour Community Services It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… The opening line from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities could easily describe the reality of Toronto today. With dramatic changes of politics at Queen’s Park and City Hall, there is a new sense of optimism in the air. Finally, we can start to rebuild our city, its schools, and its social infrastructure that has been crumbling over the last number of years. Yet at the same time poverty, the lack of affordable housing, and the rise of precarious employment strip that optimism away for too many in our community. Family incomes have plummeted and inequality has increased. People of colour, newcomers to Canada and residents of Toronto’s inner suburbs are particularly hard hit. These challenges were front and centre in two recent reports. The United Way’s Poverty by Postal Code: The Geography of Neighbourhood Poverty, 1981-2001 charts the dramatic rise and intensification in the number of high-poverty neighbourhoods. The report points to the acute crisis affecting one in five Toronto families. The Community Social Planning Council’s Falling Fortunes: A Report on the Status of Young Families in Toronto makes the clear connection between diminished job opportunities and the growth of poverty. Both call out for action and increased resources.

  • The Hiring of James Mark Baldwin and James Gibson Hume at Toronto in 1889
    History of Psychology Copyright 2004 by the Educational Publishing Foundation 2004, Vol. 7, No. 2, 130–153 1093-4510/04/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/1093-4510.7.2.130 THE HIRING OF JAMES MARK BALDWIN AND JAMES GIBSON HUME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO IN 1889 Christopher D. Green York University In 1889, George Paxton Young, the University of Toronto’s philosophy professor, passed away suddenly while in the midst of a public debate over the merits of hiring Canadians in preference to American and British applicants for faculty positions. As a result, the process of replacing Young turned into a continuation of that argument, becoming quite vociferous and involving the popular press and the Ontario gov- ernment. This article examines the intellectual, political, and personal dynamics at work in the battle over Young’s replacement and its eventual resolution. The outcome would have an impact on both the Canadian intellectual scene and the development of experimental psychology in North America. In 1889 the University of Toronto was looking to hire a new professor of philosophy. The normally straightforward process of making a university appoint- ment, however, rapidly descended into an unseemly public battle involving not just university administrators, but also the highest levels of the Ontario govern- ment, the popular press, and the population of the city at large. The debate was not pitched solely, or even primarily, at the level of intellectual issues, but became intertwined with contentious popular questions of nationalism, religion, and the proper place of science in public education. The impact of the choice ultimately made would reverberate not only through the university and through Canada’s broader educational establishment for decades to come but, because it involved James Mark Baldwin—a man in the process of becoming one of the most prominent figures in the study of the mind—it also rippled through the nascent discipline of experimental psychology, just then gathering steam in the United States of America.

  • (1981) LIONEL CONACHER: Canada's Answer to Jim Thorpe
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 11 (1981) LIONEL CONACHER: Canada's Answer to Jim Thorpe By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In 1950, while the Associated Press in the United States was selecting Jim Thorpe as the greatest football player and the greatest male athlete of the half century, a select Canadian panel of sports reporters and broadcasters was honoring Canada's native son, Lionel Pretoria Conacher, with the same impressive titles. There were other parallels in the lives of these two superb athletes. Although Conacher was a few years younger than Thorpe (he was born in 1901, Thorpe in 1888), their careers overlapped considerably. Thorpe entertained American spectators for more than twenty years from 1907 to 1929; Conacher starred in Canadian sports from 1916 to 1937. Both were all-around athletes excelling, it seemed, in any sport to which they set their minds -- Thorpe in track and field, football and baseball, Conacher in football, lacrosse, hockey, baseball, wrestling and boxing. Lionel first played organized football in 1912 with a Toronto junior team, the Capitals. Canadian football was different then from what it is today. There were fourteen players a side and a touchdown was worth only five points (as it had been in the U. S. before the 1912 season). Lionel played middle wing (tackle) with the Capitals in 1912- 15. They won the city championship each of these years. Lionel continued to play in the junior ranks with various Toronto teams through 1918. By this time he was also active in other sports. In 1916 he won the amateur lightweight wrestling championship of Ontario.
