OBSERVER Page 3 Serving our community since 1972 Vol. 45, No. 8 www.torontoobserver.ca Friday, October 7, 2016 Danforth hit with 2 accidents in 2 days By EVANGELO SIPSAS and KRISTEN DOOPAN The Observer The intersection of Danforth and Logan avenues was the scene of two serious accidents last week that hurt four people — two seriously and one critically. At around noon on Sept. 27, a car driven by a man in his 80s struck three people who were sitting on a bench near the intersection. The man was initially backing up but apparently lost control of his vehicle, climbed the curb, hit a garbage bin and then struck the trio. The three victims were sitting on a bench at Alexander the Great Square. All were injured, and two were rushed to a nearby trauma centre. “When I heard the car, I turned my head and saw the car coming toward the Yeye Zhu /// The Observer bench,” said a woman who would only Lighting up the night identify herself as Maria. “I yelled and Nuit Blanche descended on the East York area in a big way last weekend, as the Aga Khan Museum on Wynford jumped out of the way....

The ways that Black students are constantly misjudged and mistreated by teachers and guidance counsellors is an injustice to our community. As educators who seek to enrich an increasingly diverse nation, it is your duty and responsibility to encourage, motivate, challenge and strengthen Black students like all others. When you begin to see Black students as part of your community, only then will you effectively fulfill your job as an educator. ~ Black Student About This Project This report is the result of a collaborative project between Dr. Carl James, Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora at York University; the African Canadian Legal Clinic (ACLC); and the Ontario Alliance of Black School Educators (ONABSE). The community consultations were organized by the ACLC and ONABSE, while the research (data collection, analysis, and report writing) was led by Dr. Carl James with Tana Turner. JEAN AUGUSTINE CHAIR IN EDUCATION, COMMUNITY & DIASPORA The Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora is a university chair in the Faculty of Education which aims to advance access, equity and inclusivity to education through community engagement and collaborative action.

  • Music Teacher Biographies 2015
    Music Teacher Biographies Upper Canada College is privileged to have 15 private instrumental music teachers who complement our curricular music programs. They all teach at both the Prep and Upper School and many of them play in professional performance groups outside the school as well as teach for the TDSB or other independent schools. The teachers prepare pupils for performances, examinations, auditions and festivals or help with the repertoire that is learned in music class or band. Boys who are exposed to weekly music lessons, choir or band rehearsals, creative movement, or general music classes reap many benefits. Music develops self-discipline, self-esteem and increased organizational skills. Ensemble experience also builds teamwork. Band members or choristers learn the importance of being a reliable member of a group. Please find below an introduction to the private teachers. Clarinet Ms. Michele Verheul Michele Verheul holds a Master of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music. An active freelance musician, she performs with many ensembles including the Toronto Symphony, the Canadian Opera Company, the National Arts Centre Orchestra and the Hamilton Philharmonic. From 2003-2008 she taught clarinet at the University of Western Ontario while holding the position of principal clarinet with Orchestra London Canada. Clarinet & Saxophone Mr. Ryan Barker In addition to teaching at UCC, Ryan Barker is an Itinerant Music Instructor teaching middle school band programs for the Toronto District School Board. He holds an Honours B.A. in music from York University specializing in improvisation and performance and has performed in jazz clubs and shows in and around Toronto and Stockholm, Sweden.
