Staff Inspector Tony Riviere Although the frigid cold is still with us, it is that time of year when our thoughts drift to the scent of budding flowers and the optimism that accompanies the dawning of the spring season. Spring represents more than the end of the “dog days of winter,” it is the season that renews our sense of vigour and promotes a spirit of shared optimism. As the Unit Commander of 33 Division, I was thoroughly impressed and heartened with the significant level of attendance and participation at our last CPLC meeting. We have long realized that our success is intricately tied to our ability to listen and work with our communities. To that end, it is vastly important that we dialogue with as many residents as possible, particularly, residents representing our diverse neighbourhoods. The attendance at our last meeting suggests that we are on the right course. But there is more to be done, there are neighbourhoods whose residents, for a number of reasons, are unable to attend our regular meetings. We must remain committed in seeking ways to include them in our discussions; it is largely for that reason why there is a need to continue to entertain opportunities to take our CPLC meetings to our neighbourhoods. As we continue this quest, we must also consider ways of sustaining your interest. I encourage you to get involved in the number of sub-committees formed for implementing our initiatives; get actively involved in our discussions, sound decisions often emerge when different perspectives are considered. I would also like to take the opportunity to welcome back our Co-Chair Ibrahim Meru. Mr. Meru’s leadership, commitment and relentless energy cannot be overstated. Also, joining our Executive as Treasurer is Ms. Jane Reid. Jane has been a regular contributor to our committee and we look forward to her presence within the Executive. As we continue to plant the seeds of hope, change and new growth, I am encouraged by your initial desire to be mutual caretakers of these seeds. Together our efforts will yield the dividends of ensuring the safety and vitality of our neighbourhoods. 33 Division 416 808 3300 50 Upjohn Road Toronto ON M3B 2W1 [email protected] 2 “Please feel free to distribute” 33 Division Community Bulletin th March 2013 – 85 Edition COMMUNITY RESPONSE UNIT: 33 Division is not going through the winter blahs….quite the opposite! We have several youth mentoring programs in full swing. At the end of January, we had our first Youth Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) meeting. Our youth told us they wanted opportunities to interact with police in a positive way, and to learn more about what we do. A little brainstorming and we created the first Toronto Police Amazing Race! The event was held on February 15th, because this was a PA day. We worked with the City of Toronto and the Toronto Community Housing Corporation to bus 44 local youth to a community center. They were fed lunch, which was organized by our volunteers Roz Sunshine and Bernie Rothbart. From there, they were bussed to the Toronto Police College in Etobicoke. 11 teams of 4 youth were each pared up with 1 police officer. They were given 40 tasks to complete in two hours. For example, they learned about the history of the Toronto Police Service, went to the gun range to check out the safety equipment, worked together in our simulated outdoor town to find clues, learned about our fallen officers, and ran through portions of the physical testing to become a police officer. Each completed task was allocated a score. The team with the highest overall score won. Each member of the winning team won a small tablet computer. This incredible prize was generously donated by Civitan, who also provided our youth with lunch. The winning team will also spend a day touring our Emergency Task Force, Mounted/Dog Unit, Marine Unit, and Toronto Police Service Museum. They will then meet with Deputy Chief of Police Peter Sloly for a leadership mentoring session. The Amazing Race was a resounding success! Both youth and officers had a great time, and our youth were fascinated with this ‘inside glimpse’ into the Toronto Police. Several expressed an interest in becoming a police officer in the future. Each team was mentored by an officer from either 33 Division or the Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy (TAVIS). Here is photo of the winning team with their mentor, TAVIS Constable Mehmet Gucbilmez #10570, at the fallen officer memorial. 33 Division 416 808 3300 50 Upjohn Road Toronto ON M3B 2W1 [email protected] 3 “Please feel free to distribute” 33 Division Community Bulletin th March 2013 – 85 Edition Youth, officers and community partners all get ready to run the Toronto Police Amazing Race! The Amazing Race would not have been a success without the help of our incredible partners. Special thanks to Citivan, the City of Toronto Community Crisis Response Program, the Toronto Community Housing Corporation, our Toronto Police Service Youth in Policing Students, volunteers, and Auxiliary Officers. We are looking forward to more initiatives in the future to continue to improve our 33 Division communities. Shawna Coxon Staff Sergeant 7551 Toronto Police Service 33 Division, Community Response Unit (416) 808-3392 [email protected] Twitter: @ShawnaCoxon Facebook: Shawna Coxon 33 Division 416 808 3300 50 Upjohn Road Toronto ON M3B 2W1 [email protected] 4 “Please feel free to distribute” 33 Division Community Bulletin th March 2013 – 85 Edition COMMUNITY OUTREACH: This year’s black history month celebrations took place in Ottawa On, and students from the Children’s breakfast club were both lucky and honored to attend the festivities. Also in attendance were Toronto Police officers Neil Pickrell, Orest Czujko and Kelly Downie from the 33 Division Community Response Unit. Also in attendance were two of the 33 Division’s volunteers Roz Sonshine and Bernie Vanderbij who have helped out for many years at this event. Roz Sonshine has also been recognized for her tireless work with the community and was recently interviewed by the Toronto Star, see below for the interview. At 79 years old, Rosaline Sonshine is an unlikely candidate for a crime fighter. But thanks to her efforts, hundreds of residents in her neighbourhood are now free from break-ins and the city of Toronto is a safer place. Her tools are simple: flyers, phone calls and education. Volunteering an estimated 6,000 hours over the past decade with the Toronto police, Sonshine has worked diligently to make her community safer. Q: Can you tell me a little bit about yourself? I understand you’ve done quite a lot of crime prevention work. A: It started out in 1998. I lived at York Mills and Bayview in the townhouses. There are 345 townhouses and we had quite a few break-ins and we started a neighbourhood watch. That’s how I got involved with CPAT ( Crime Prevention Association of Toronto ). Through that, I got to know the police at 33 Division. After we started a neighbourhood watch, we got neighbours to go to every street and got a captain on every street to help out. You needed one person from every street — that one person would deliver the flyers. After a year we had no break-ins. I’m happy to say to this day they don’t have them. Q: Did you ever catch anybody? A: Oh yes, many times. Whenever there was a break-in CPAT would email me or phone me … I would make up a flyer on the weekend and make sure every one of the 345 homes knew that there was a break-in, where it was, what street, how they broke in, and probably sometimes what they took, so they knew to keep an eye out for any strange cars. Over the years, yes, they did catch quite a few people. Q: In your 14 years of crime prevention and safety work, what are you most proud of? The car-seat (check) was a big thing because most of them didn’t put it in properly. You should see the faces of the parents when they (realize). I go and do pamphlet displays and purse patrol. We get a lot of requests to go to different organizations, to go to different apartment buildings. We set up in the lobby, we talk to people and I try to explain to them elder abuse, scams. Purse patrol is when we go to a Loblaws or Shoppers Drug Mart. I’m in 33 Division 416 808 3300 50 Upjohn Road Toronto ON M3B 2W1 [email protected] 5 “Please feel free to distribute” 33 Division Community Bulletin th March 2013 – 85 Edition charge and we have other volunteers.

  • The North York East LIP Strategic Plan and Report
    The North York East LIP Strategic Plan and Report The North York East Strategic Plan has been developed around six areas of focus: Information & Outreach; Civic Engagement; Collaboration & Capacity Building; Language Training & Supports; Labour Market; and Health Services.Six working groups will be established to address these areas of focus. In- depth directions for each working group are outlined in the main body of this report Executive Summary In 2009, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration, launched Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) projects throughout Ontario. LIPs were developed as research initiatives to identify ways to coordinate and enhance local service delivery to newcomers across the province, while promoting efficient use of resources. In October 2009, Working Women Community Centre entered an agreement with CIC to lead a LIP project in the North York East area of Toronto. The North York East LIP is located in the far north of the city, contained by Steeles Avenue to the north, Highway 401 to the south, Victoria Avenue East to the east and the Don Valley River to the west. The area population is almost 80,000, 70% of which are immigrants to Canada. A major priority for the North York East LIP project was to root its research in the real-life experiences of local newcomers and local community organizations. In total, over 400 newcomers & immigrants, and over 100 service providers were consulted and engaged with to identify challenges, solutions and new directions for the settlement sector in the area. Methods of engagement for both newcomers and service providers included focus group research, key-informant interviews, community consultations and advisory panel workshops.

    2018 Ontario Rental Market Update: The Supply Gap Grows Larger January 2019 Prepared for the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario by URBANATION Inc. Page 1 of 13 INTRODUCTION Urbanation was retained by FRPO to provide an assessment of current rental market conditions and trends in Ontario. This report is a follow-up to a study Urbanation completed for FRPO in September 2017 that provided a framework for measuring the gap in the marketplace between the demand and supply of rental apartments. The intention of the study was to raise awareness of the present and future expected factors impacting Ontario’s rental market, and the need to encourage a much stronger amount of rental construction to meet the level of demand for new units. By examining the latest changes in key market drivers and the resulting impacts on rental conditions, this report will present an updated assessment of the Ontario rental market and its estimated supply shortfall. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page(s) Highlights 3 Demand Drivers 4-6 Supply Conditions 7-11 Concluding Comments 12 ABOUT FRPO Since 1985, the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) has been the voice of Ontario’s rental housing industry and the leading advocate for quality rental housing. The Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario is the largest association representing those who own, manage, build and finance, service and supply residential rental homes in Ontario.

    IN THE MATTER OF the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998, C. 15, (Schedule B); AND IN THE MATTER OF an Application by Canadian Distributed Antenna Systems Coalition for certain orders under the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998. AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL STARKEY ON BEHALF OF TORONTO HYDRO-ELECTRIC SYSTEM LIMITED (“THESL” or “Toronto Hydro”) ATTACHMENT MTS-04 ATTACHMENT MTS-04 Attachment MTS-04 Listing of Cellular/PCS/AWS Station Sites Within 25 Kms. of the Center of Toronto MTS-04 is intended to identify the physical locations (i.e., station sites) of all antennas licensed for radio-transmission within the cellular/PCS/AWS frequency bands that are within 25 kilometers of the center of Toronto. Attachment MTS-04 was developed as follows. Step 1: The Attachment MTS-03 dataset served as staring point. Because that dataset includes antenna arrays that may be operated by different carriers at the same station site, it was necessary to eliminate multiple records for the same station site. The first step in that process involved concatenating the latitude and longitude fields into a single number and sorting on this new field. A simple @IF formula (i.e., if lat-long field of current record = lat-long field of previous record, flag as a duplicate) was then applied to compare successive records’ concatenated latitude-longitude fields and remove all duplicates (which represent multiple antenna arrays collocated at the same station site), so that only a single unique record remained for each location (latitude/longitude). Step 2: However, we also encountered numerous instances in which the various wireless operators had entered non-identical latitude-longitude and/or street address information on the records they supplied to the ALS database for what were clearly intended to represent the same station locations.

  • York Mills/Hoggs Hollow – Jane's Walk
    YORK MILLS/HOGGS HOLLOW (JANE JACOBS’ WALK - 2011) (Notes from the comments made by Glenn Bonnetta) The Miller Tavern is one of the few remaining commercial buildings on its original site on Yonge Street. It has been here for over 150 years. For many years it was known as the York Mills Hotel. It was not the first hotel in the valley. Madam Valliere’s Inn was mentioned during the War of 1812 and was probably on Old Yonge Street, north of the bridge over the Don River. Other proprietors probably later took over this inn. When Yonge Street was constructed in the 1790s, the sides of the valley were deemed too steep, so it skirted around the edge of the east side of the valley. Yonge Street was straightened between 1833 and 1835, and the old inn was no longer conveniently located. The first hotel on “new” Yonge Street was built in 1836 by James Hogg, a local miller, on his property. He established a post office at the hotel, and named the area York Mills. It had previously been known as Heron’s Bridge and Milford. A store was built to the north of the inn. The new inn became a good stopping place for farmers going to and from Toronto. After Hogg’s death in 1839 it was known as Anderson’s Tavern. The inn and store burned down in 1856. Locals saved the stables, which were on the west side of Yonge Street. A new inn and store were built by John and William Hogg, sons of James Hogg.
