Dear Ward 43 Residents,

The weather has finally started to feel like Spring bringing with it a lots of community events in Ward43! Check out the events listed in the section of this report, and support all of our community organizations who work hard to build better neighbourhoods!

I would like to remind pedestrians, motorists and cyclists to take extra care, especially when travelling in residential neighbourhoods. It's critical to be aware of your surroundings at all times....road safety is everyone's responsibility. The City’s Transportation Department is distributing yellow “Please Slow Down” safety lawn signs through my Constituency Office. These signs are meant to encourage all motorists to drive safely as they travel in our neighbourhoods. If you would like a "Please Slow Down" lawn sign they are available at my constituency office. If you will be picking one up please call 416-396- 7222 or e-mail councillor_ainslie@.ca.

On May 4, 2016 during Toronto City Council my amendment to remove the need for non-profit and community groups to register with Lobbyist Registrar was adopted. This is very good news as it would have caused undue distress to community groups and non-profits when working with their City Councillor on any issue. I am thankful for all your support! To view the item please see section 8 of this report.

Please also view the section on Sir Robert Borden CI School in Section 10. The Toronto District School Board is held a public meeting on Wednesday May 11, 2016. The TDSB has decided to close the school. I would like to turn it in to a community hub.

On April 28, 2016 Minister of Health publicly announced he is supporting ALL OF THE Recommendations in the Expert Health Panel including the dissolution of the Rouge Valley Health System. I am disappointed. Please see section 13 for details.

Trees for Brook Road Park: Urban Forestry will be planting trees this Spring Map of planting. These plantings are part of our efforts to increase the urban forest canopy, increase diversity of tree species in the City of Toronto and help compensate for tree loss due to the Emerald Ash Borer.

Public Transit: The new Light Rail Transit Cross Town East plan greatly effects our community it proposes 19 stops along Eglinton, and Morningside Avenue. To view the plan please visit www.scarboroughsubwayextension.ca/ Send in your comments to myself at [email protected].

Safety Review: Neilson Road at Trailridge Crescent (link to report) A review of the vehicle turning movements at the intersection of Neilson Road and Trailridge Crescent was conducted by Transportation Services. Based on the review, staff have concluded that changes to the intersection are not recommended at this time.

Conclusions are based on a review of sight lines, road alignment, and collision history with a focus on collisions that occurred on Neilson Road at Trailridge Crescent and the private driveway. The results of our review concluded that the sight lines are clear at Trailridge Crescent and at the private driveway located on the east side of Neilson Road. The private driveway is offset from Trailridge Crescent. There is insufficient distance on Neilson Road between Trailridge Crescent and the private driveway to accommodate a shared centre left turn lane.

Bonspiel Parkette Disturbances: Our office has received notification from residents been advised that there is some negative activity taking place at the park. The Toronto Police have been notified and have asked that residents continue to call our office or call them directly. The Police have advised that it would be beneficial to:

1. Report what times of occurrences in park and community so that the police may focus appropriately 2. Provide specific locations (south corner under the tree etc.), description of the offenders, & specific activity 3. Ensure that you report any break and enters so that they can be investigated and tracked 4. Home owner have access to crime prevention audits from the police through environmental design audit as well.

Your community is yours! Be vigilant and report issues so that the police may act. In an emergency call 911 for non-emergency call 416-808-4300.

Sewer Re-lining and Inspection on Lawrence Ave East from Orton Park to 3950 Lawrence Ave. East The City of Toronto will be conducting sewer re-lining and inspection the week of May 9th, from 7 am to 7pm. The inspections of the sewer system will involve sending a closed circuit TV (CCTC) camera into the sewer pipes to take images of different pipe segments.

In order to inspect the sewers, it is necessary to first flush the sewers with high pressure water and remove debris using vacuum trucks. Re-lining of the sewer segments require special materials and equipment such as blowers, air compressors, and/or power generators. During this time we ask that you please limit your usage of water services.

You may experience noise caused by the flushing and removal of debris from the sewer pipes by vacuum trucks, as well as noise caused by the equipment. Once the re-lining and clearance of the sewers is complete, the CCTV inspection work is not expected to cause any noise impacts. You many experience odours from flushing activities of the sewer on your street. They are short in nature and will diminish as the flushing is completed. If you smell odours during the week or after the work, open your windows (where possible) and please call the field Ambassador (647-821-9813, [email protected])so that they may assist you with the problem.

Councillor Ainslie’s Town Hall Meeting: Thank you for attending on April 28. Residents had great questions and shared ideas. Some of the questions asked were:

Council Highlights

Toronto City Council meeting of March 31 and April 1, 2016

Council Highlights is an informal summary of decisions made by Toronto City Council. The City Clerk provides the formal documentation at http://www.toronto.ca/council.

Toronto transit network planning

Council provided a series of requests and directives to guide the planning of Toronto transit network initiatives, including SmartTrack, Scarborough Subway Extension, Relief Line and Waterfront Transit Reset. Among the many recommendations and motions adopted, Council agreed to request the scheduling of a special meeting of the Executive Committee to consider transit network reports and related matters on a date before the Executive Committee's regular business meeting on June 28.

Gardiner Expressway East reconfiguration

Council approved a design called Hybrid Alternative Design 3 to be used in an environmental assessment of the Gardiner East area, which is a 2.4-kilometre segment of the elevated expressway and from Lower to Logan Avenue. A preferred design for a new connection between the east end of the Gardiner and the Don Valley Expressway had to be chosen to allow for the completion and provincial review of the environmental assessment before detailed design and construction work proceeds.

Establishment of Local Appeal Body

Council approved the governance structure and administrative details for establishing a Local Appeal Body that will hear appeals of Committee of Adjustment decisions for minor variance and consent applications in Toronto. Council authorized Court Services to co-ordinate implementation and provide administrative support, and also approved a one-year city-wide pilot project to evaluate the benefits of mediation in resolving disputes related to minor variance and consent applications.

------10. Sir Robert Borden CI School Closing ------

Sir Robert Borden CI: Community Public Meeting held on Wednesday May 11, 2016 Meeting Notice

The Toronto District School Board has made a decision to close Sir Robert Borden CI located at 200 Poplar Road. I want to keep this building as a teaching facility / community hub to service our community with relevant job training and services. This is lacking in Scarborough East.

I have made progress in reaching out to City of Toronto departments, trade schools, unions, the Boys and Girls Club of East Scarborough, East Scarborough Storefront as well as our Member of Provincial Parliament Hon. Mitzie Hunter and Federal Member of Parliament Hon. John McKay as well as several other Scarborough elected members. All of expressed interest including "Hammer Heads" an organization run by the Central Ontario Building Trade who train for construction trades with a focus on youth who have dropped out of high school. As well as the "Centre for Social Innovation" an organization that works to promote the creation of tech related jobs who currently have 3 sites downtown and are seeking to create satellite locations in the suburbs.

Having the support of our local school trustee and residents I will continue to work towards bringing a trade school / community hub to Scarborough east. As the building is a large one we are exploring having many organizations sharing the space.

The TDSB will be moving forward with their process, I am hopeful that we will be successful. More information is posted on the TDSB website at www.tdsb.on.ca/accommodationreviews. From the drop- down menu, select: Property Reviews, then select the site.

------13. Rouge Valley Health System Being Broken Up ------

Last week the Ontario Minister of Health publicly announced he is supporting ALL OF THE Recommendations in the Expert Health Panel including the dissolution of the Rouge Valley Health System. I am very disappointed.

Rouge Valley Health System Board disappointed with decision to break up local hospital system

April 28, 2016 – The Board of Directors of Rouge Valley Health System (RVHS) today announced that it is disappointed with the Minister’s decision to split its two hospital campuses: Rouge Valley Centenary (RVC) in Scarborough, and Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering (RVAP) in west Durham.

Today, the Minister of Health announced that he was proceeding with the Scarborough/West Durham Panel recommendation to split the two Rouge Valley campuses. The RVAP campus will be joined with Lakeridge Health. The RVC campus, and The Scarborough Hospital General and Birchmount campuses will be amalgamated under a new governance structure.

“Our patients and their families remain our top priority,” says Fred Clifford, Chair of the RVHS Board of Directors. “While this is a very disappointing outcome, our Board and leadership team remain committed to delivering the highest quality of care to our patients.”

“I want to assure our staff, physicians, and volunteers that our commitment to them has not diminished,” says Clifford. “We will do everything we can to support them during this time of transition.”

The RVC and RVAP hospital campuses remain open for business. Services will continue, and operations will be maintained.

Rouge Valley Health System – Together—the best at what we do

Rouge Valley Health System is an excellent acute care community hospital with many programs, including 24/7/365 emergency, advanced (level 2C) maternal and neonatal care in a state-of-the art birthing centre, extensive specialized paediatric services, surgery, cancer care, mental health and regional cardiac care.

Physical Literacy: What it is and Why it is important! Workshops FLYER For Program Managers, Supervisors and Coordinators that work with children ages 12 years and under

The Boys & Girls Clubs focuses on the first three stages the emphasis will be healthy eating, physical activity and creating healthy behaviours for children. Our current theme is Run, Jump, Play Every Day. Physical Literacy is the development of fundamental movement skills and fundamental sport skills that permit a child to move confidently and with control, in a wide variety of physical activity, rhythmic (dance) and sport situations. Physical Literacy also includes the ability to “read” what is going on around them in an activity setting and react appropriately to those events. Physical Literacy is also about having the competence and confidence to apply fundamental movement skills and fundamental sports skills in new situations.

Now more than ever, Physical Literacy is being recognized as an important component of best practices in the sport, recreation, health and education sectors within Canada. Unfortunately, not everyone knows or understands what exactly physical literacy is, join us for the workshop and Let's get out Kids moving!

------20. Guildwood Refugee Action Committee (GRACE) – Rain Barrel Sale and Garage Sale ------Rain Barrel Sale Did you know that all downspouts in Toronto have to be disconnected by December 3, 2016? Instead of having rainwater run off across your lawn, why not install a rain barrel to make the best use of this natural resource? You can help the environment, help build Guildwood Refugee Action Committee’s refugee fund and support a local church all at the same time. GRACE will receive $15 for every barrel sold and in turn we will donate 50% of the proceeds to Church of the Holy Trinity Guildwood for their Property Fund. Pre-order your rain barrel and accessories such as flower pots and extra overflow hoses online by May 21st for guaranteed availability at http://rainbarrel.ca/guildwoodrac/ and pick up your order on May 28th between 9 am and 12:30 pm at the parking lot of the Church of the Holy Trinity Guildwood at 85 Livingston Road (southeast corner of Guildwood Parkway and Livingston Road). More information about the benefits of rain barrels can be found at http://rainbarrel.ca/benefits/ Garage Sale Challenge Support a local cause by pledging your garage sale proceeds to Guildwood Refugee Action Committee (GRACE) this spring! As garage sale season sets in, we know that your main goal is to clean out your house, rather than make money, and when your "customers" know that you are supporting a worthy cause, your sales tend to go up, and we both win! We will help you promote your sale by providing signage and advertising your sale on our Facebook page.

------24. Doors Open Toronto announces exciting lineup of buildings and programming ------

Doors Open Toronto presented by Great Gulf has announced its lineup of buildings and enhanced programming for May 28 and 29. The 17th annual celebration of design will offer free and rare access to architecturally, historically, culturally and socially significant buildings across Toronto.

This year's event features more than 130 buildings, including over 40 new participants, an exciting speaker series and citywide walking tours. Details are now available at http://www.toronto.ca/doorsopen.

"The city's buildings come alive during Doors Open Toronto weekend, giving residents the opportunity to discover and explore unique buildings and vibrant neighborhoods," said Mayor John Tory. "I encourage Torontonians to visit the event's many destinations, including City Hall."

"Doors Open Toronto allows the public to learn more about the heritage and design that helps make this city great," said Councillor Michael Thompson (Ward 37 Scarborough Centre), Chair of the Economic Development Committee. "Each year there are new buildings, walks and other activities for all to experience."

“Great Gulf is excited to return as presenting sponsor of Doors Open Toronto celebrating architecture, heritage and design. Focused on the intersection of great design and art to enrich the human experience, we share this passion with Doors Open through our commitment to create the best architecturally designed buildings,” said Great Gulf President Christopher Wein. “We encourage you to join us in experiencing this incredible event with members of the international architectural and design community.”

The weekend activities kick off on Friday, May 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Design Exchange with the event's first-ever keynote speaker, acclaimed designer Karim Rashid. One of the most prolific and recognized designers of his generation, his talk The Future of Design will explore how the future of the aesthetic world will cross all disciplines so that design, art, architecture, fashion, food and music fuse to increase everyone's experiences and bring greater pleasure to the material and immaterial world. Seats for this event are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

There are three other talks as part of the OpenInsights Speaker Series, exploring a variety of themes: Architecture is Art?; Bomb Girls – Trading Aprons for Ammo; and Why New Ideas Need Old Buildings.

Toronto City Hall will be a key destination during the Doors Open Toronto weekend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Visitors to the building can experience rare access to the Mayor's office and the 27th floor observation deck, as well as to the council chamber. Special programming will include:  Timelapse Toronto – Visitors prioritize the physical and social infrastructure they would like to see added to the intensifying downtown with this activity sponsored by The Printing House 3D Studio.  Colour Me Toronto – Visitors can unwind with limited edition colouring pages and learn about the talented Toronto street artists who created them to revitalize the city's communities through art.  Unlock the City – Teams of three can pre-register at http://bit.ly/26tH1A2 for an exciting four-hour game requiring teamwork, adaptive thinking and strategy as participants navigate the city for a chance to win prizes.

Thirteen free walking tours sponsored by the Carpenters' Union – Carpenters and Allied Workers Local 27 and Drywall and Acoustic Lathing Local 675 will explore the history and architecture of several neighbourhoods. The 2016 theme of "Re-used, Re-visited and Revised" exploring the adaptive repurposing of Toronto buildings is highlighted throughout many of this year's walking tours, including Industry and Internment in Liberty Village, Transforming Farquhars Lane/Reggae Lane, and Voices of Danforth East: A Jane's Walk.
