The force and the board issued a joint statement saying they ac- cepted the commission’s recom- mendations, but noted that the practice of collecting race-based data will require study and con- sultation. They also said it would be important to “scrutinize’’ the methodology and data behind the commission’s findings. Input Sought On Alcohol Choices TORONTO: The Ontario Government is inviting consum- ers and businesses to share their views on how beverage alcohol choice and convenience can be increased in the province. “Our plan has been clear when it comes to expanding options for the sale and consumption of beverage alcohol in Ontario. To- day, we are moving forward on the promise to improve customer convenience and choice,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Finance. As part of its commitment to transforming alcohol sales, On- tario wants input on: • Improving the rules for how beer, cider, wine and spirits are sold and consumed • Allowing new types of stores, including corner stores and big- box stores, and more grocery stores, to sell these products • Creating more opportunities for private sector sellers and dis- tributors • Ensuring communities are kept safe and healthy. www.WeeklyVoice.com Front/national Friday, December 14, 2018 | A-3 ‘Sikh Extremism’ Listing Marie And Joseph Most Popular Names In Ontario Over The Past 100 Years TORONTO: Ontario’s gov- services for families.” After naming their newborns, ernment says Marie and Jo- Since the Roaring Twenties, parents have up to 30 days to Sikh demonstrators takes part in a rally on outside the UN headquarters seph were the most popu- Marie ranked as the most popu- register their child ‘s birth. in New York.(AP File Photo/Mary Altaffer) lar baby names in the province lar girls name for four decades, ServiceOntario’s easy-to-use Continued from page 1 cerns that increased collaboration over the past 100 years. followed closely by Mary.

Moderate Rise In

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan fields questions at the opening news conference of the Halifax International Security Forum in Home Prices Halifax on Nov. 16, 2018. The Canadian Press/Andrew Vaughan Expected In 2019 TORONTO: Home prices across the country are expected to rise in 2019, but only at a moderate pace compared with recent years, according to two of Canada’s largest residential real estate brokerages. Royal LePage is anticipating the national median home price will increase by 1.2 per cent in 2019, with prices in Toronto and the surrounding areas expected to rise 1.3 per cent to $854,552. Home prices in Greater Vancouver are forecast to go up by just 0.6 per cent to $1.29 million, while home prices in Montreal and the nearby region are expected to see the largest rise out of Canada’s big- gest cities, with home prices anticipated to jump three per cent to $421,306 in 2019. Royal LePage CEO Phil Soper said the national housing market is expected to remain in a “correc- tional cycle’’ that began this year, with home prices appreciating at a “snail’s pace.’’ “Markets aren’t per- fect. They overshoot and then they must correct,’’ he said in a statement. The Royal LePage report blamed the “tepid pace’’ of price growth on a number of fac- tors including rising interest rates, global trade risks and the low price of Canadian crude. It noted that would-be buyers who had for years been shut out of hot markets in Toronto and Vancou- ver may have a bigger opportunity to purchase in 2019. It says it expects a jump in sales activity come spring. Meanwhile, in a separate report Tuesday, Re/Max said it expects average home sale prices to go up by 1.7 per cent in the new year. It also anticipates hous- ing markets across the country will stabilize as Cana- dians feel a bigger impact from higher interest rates. “Demand isn’t as strong as it was in the past but it is still very, very strong,’’ said Christopher Alexan- der, executive vice-president and regional director of Re/Max of Ontario-Atlantic Canada. “The government has said it may not be as con- servative with raising rates as they have been in the past. That’s why there’s uncertainty. People don’t re- ally know what to expect.’’ Re/Max expects average home sale prices in Van- couver to fall three per cent next year, after increas- ing two per cent this year. The report forecasts that some smaller cities outside of the big urban areas will see large price growth, with London, Ont., leading with a projected increase of 17 per cent, followed by Chilliwack, B.C., and Windsor, Ont., at 13 per cent. Alexander said a more stable real estate market is positive for both buyers and sellers. “The threat of a bubble bursting isn’t around the corner, and at the same time, there is going to be a little bit of an appreciation so people will get a return on their investment,’’ he said. www.WeeklyVoice.com national Friday, December 14, 2018 | A-5 Car Thefts On Rise - Thieves Target Trucks And Suvs TORONTO: A new report says “It’s easily preventable, the 25 thieves are setting their sights per cent, all they have to do is be on older-model Ford trucks and a little colder in their vehicle.’’ high-end SUVs as the number of Alberta also saw the most automotive thefts rose again last thefts, making up about 25,000 year. of the 85,000 vehicles stolen in The Insurance Bureau of Can- 2017 for a nationwide increase of ada said on Tuesday in its annual Ford F-250 Chevy Tahoe Ford F-350 about six per cent. list of the most frequently stolen New Brunswick saw the sharp- vehicles that the Ford F250 and est rise in thefts with a 28 per cent F350 trucks dominated the list of jump, with Ontario seeing a 15 most stolen vehicles in 2017. per cent increase.

The celebrations started in the afternoon with the traditionally attired groom, Anand, arriving in a vintage Rolls Royce at the head of a wedding procession at the Ambani’s Antilia residence. The 27-storied Antilia, said to be one of the most expensive private residences in the world, itself has been decked up like a bride, and the entire stretch from the main road to the building has been decorated since the past few days with multi-hued fresh flow- ers, colourful lights and festoons to commemorate one of the most anticipated weddings in Mumbai in recent times. Later in the evening, the grand wedding saw the parents - indus- trialist Mukesh Ambani and his wife Nita, tycoons Ajay Piramal and his wife Swati - and others welcoming the high-profile ce- lebrity guests.
