Bradford West Gwillimbury could get a little greener, following an endorsed letter of support from council regarding a medical marijuana facility in town.

Staff recently received a formal request from MedReleaf Corp., which is Canada’s largest licensed producer of medical mari-juana, to accompany its application for a licence from Health Canada to operate at 100 Reagens Industrial Pkwy.

Formally the home of Faurecia, the now vacant facility would be utilized by MedReleaf to expand its business. MedReleaf has an operation in Markham that employs about 70 full-time and 30 part-time employees.

Bradford’s location, if approved, would staff roughly 250 full-time and 100 part-time employees, ranging from entry-level posi-tions to postgraduate and PhD researchers.

MedReleaf forecasts that it would be able to utilize the entire facility within 12 to 24 months of moving into the space.

Council members unanimously agreed

that the “growing” industry is more than wel-come here in BWG.

“The building has been empty for quite a while and it seems ideal for the company’s needs,” said Councillor Gary Baynes, the first to speak up during Tuesday’s council meet-ing. “I’m going to support this.”

Councillor Peter Dykie followed with his approval, mentioning a workshop he attend-ed last year that highlighted medical mari-juana locations and operations.

“The federal government has very strict guidelines. They are very conscious and secure about how they handle things. I’m glad they’ve taken the proper steps to avoid any problems.”

The allure of more than 350 jobs is also a big plus. According to Health Canada, 30 of Canada’s licensed medical marijuana pro-ducers are located in Ontario. Council agreed that adding BWG to the list would prove a benefit to the community.

Council’s letter of support will be submit-ted through the town’s office of economic development within the next couple of days.


Nearly 97 acres of land at the corner of Line 9 and Sideroad 10 in Bradford West Gwillimbury are about to undergo an excit-ing transformation.

The property, generously donated to the town in 2009 by Cyril and Phyllis Henderson, was tendered out to Gateman Milloy Inc. for more than $6.7 million during Tuesday night’s April 19 council meeting, meaning construction on the highly anticipated Hen-derson Memorial Park could begin in just a few weeks.

A full build of the park, however, could take up to 20 years.

At this point in time, the northern end of the property will be utilized first in Phase 1, allowing recreational additions such as soc-cer fields to begin as soon as possible. That portion of the project is anticipated to cost more than $7.6 million.

The project’s total cost is expected to be nearly $12.5 million. Long-term plans include additional soccer fields, a lookout, pond trail, community gardens, playgrounds, splash pads and possibly a beach volleyball court.

The town hopes to see completion of Phase 1 of the park by spring 2018.

The third annual Lifesaving Society April Pools Day event, held April 16 at the Bradford Lions Aquatic Centre, was a splashing success, as Bradford families learned the importance of water safety.

Sponsored by the Bradford Lions Club, the free event offered safety tips and activities to help people of all ages prepare for a safe summer in the water.

The interactive event highlighted swimming as an essential life skill, teaching participants how to avoid emergency situations, such as drowning. Instructors also explained the proper use of lifejackets and how they are worn.

At 2 p.m., a friendly lifejacket relay race took place between BWG lifeguards, the Bradford Lions Club, South Simcoe Police, BWG Fire and County of Simcoe Paramedics.

Our local lifeguards swam their way to victory, while the paramedics followed closely behind to capture sec-ond place.

Sponsorship fees and money raised during the swim will be donated to the Lifesaving Society’s drowning prevention fund.

With sunny skies and no snow in sight, busloads of volunteers set out to help keep our town clean on April 16.

At 9 a.m. sharp, participants met at the Bradford and District Memorial Community Centre to take part in Bradford West Gwillim-bury’s annual Community Clean Up event, which lit up the streets with bright orange vests, as dozens of bags of garbage were col-lected from parks, trails and ditches.

Robin Barr, who has been participating in the cleanup for nearly 15 years, says it’s important to educate children about the environment when they’re very young.

“Garbage just leaks into the ground, it’s so unhealthy not just for us, but for the gen-erations to come. They will inherit this planet from us, so we should be teaching children how to take care of it.”

Pointing across the street to a ditch beside a busy plaza along Holland Street West, Barr spoke to just how much garbage surfaces once the winter season is over.

“The world has a problem. We create so much trash and don’t know what to do with it all.”

But Barr has been happy to see people of

all ages dedicating their time to the cleanup each year. Participants were treated to a pizza lunch at the community centre.

Man charged with assault

On April 14 around 8:20 p.m., South Sim-coe Police officers were called to a home in Bradford regarding a domestic dispute.

When they arrived on scene, a woman said her husband kicked and pushed her during an argument.

A 35-year-old man was charged with domestic assault and will now reside in Toronto as he waits for a court date.

Learn more about homeless needs, issues

Let’s admit it – homeless people have a right to be in public places. At Inn From The Cold, a winter shelter in Newmarket, we know there are people in need in our community who sometimes take refuge in hidden areas of town. When discussing the reality of homelessness, we often lament the fact the problem is invisible, which makes it more difficult to address.

When human need is invisible, we risk becoming complacent. If the face of need doesn’t confront us, we are in danger of forgetting about it as we conduct our daily business. If we can’t see it, we might ignore the problem or do little to solve it.

On the other hand, what happens when the homeless become visible in public places? Homeless shelters can-not provide 24-hour access, even during the coldest days. As a result, people with needs hit the streets in search of a place to spend daytime hours until they return to the shelter.

Throughout the long hours, they must find a way to spend their time dealing with loneliness, rejection and boredom, not to mention the elements.

They might go to a coffee shop if they can find a way to pay. They might go to a library to use the computer or read the want ads. In any case, they must go some-

COLUMN

Ontario’s bike-friendly dreamhe province says it will spend $25 million over two years to make Ontario a more bicycle-friendly place, establish-

ing more bike lanes and making roads safer for riders.

Will it make a difference? If you’re not a regular bicycle rider now, might you ever become one?

I’m not so sure. Even though it would be a great thing if it did hap-pen, making us more fit and eco friendly, I wonder if we will ever change.

When I was a kid, I used to ride my bike everywhere. As soon as the weather would allow it, I’d ride my bike to school. I’d ride my bike delivering newspapers.

I rode my bike to the corner store on errands when my mom said we needed milk or bread.

I rode my bike to my baseball games, cleats on the pedals, glove on the seat under me.

I rode my bike around the block with the other neighbourhood kids when we had “nothing to do.”

A bike took such a beating that if you left it near the curb on garbage day, someone might mistake it for having been thrown out.

We loved our bikes because, when it was not bicycle season, we had to walk. A ride to school? Are you ill? Broken leg?

We trudged through the snow and longed for better weather when we could get out our bikes again.

Despite that great start in the world of cycling, strangely, as soon as we were old enough to drive, we typically abandoned bike riding.

All we wanted was to drive our parents’ cars or, once we could afford it, our own. Cycling was kids’ stuff.

I have to say we’ve come a long way from that time.

All across York’s more rural roads you see people — adults — riding bikes for exercise, or competition, their colourful and tight-fitting out-fits hard to miss.

It looks like a great way to get outdoors, stay fit and enjoy some camaraderie.

Meanwhile today’s bikes are incredible. Walk into a modern bike shop and check out what’s available. Well made, reliable, they can easily serve as a mode of daily transportation.

Yet we still don’t see many peo-

ple, except in downtown Toronto, using a bike as a basic mode of transport.

True, things are more spread out for most of us. Few of us hit the jackpot where our workplace is a reasonable bike ride away from our home.

There is the weather. Southern Ontario has some of the most vari-able weather in the country. Often humid. Sunny in the morning, rainy in the afternoon, or vice-versa. Makes showing up at work in pre-sentable shape, or getting home without getting drenched, a chal-lenge.

But to me? It’s really the safety issue that makes me nervous about cycling and makes me nervous about my kids being on their bikes.

I grew up when people didn’t drive like they seem to drive today. Fewer cars. Life was less rushed. People driving a car were actually looking at the road.

Most of our designated bike lanes are just markings on the edge of streets on which traffic is roaring by. An imaginary line. I don’t know why we even bother.

I’ve seen places like downtown Montreal where the bike lane is actually a lane. They have taken space away from the cars and put up two-foot tall concrete barriers between where the bikes go and where the cars go.

Cyclists are everywhere thanks to those actions. Will we ever do that in Ontario, where the car is king, carmakers are big employers, and we all race everywhere in our SUVs, including driving our kids everywhere?

Sometimes action needs to be bolder or why waste the $25 mil-lion? I’d say spend it on 100,000 “free” bikes for needy kids, if I was sure they had a safe place to ride. Or don’t spend it at all.

where during the day. They can either hide or go to public

places where they will likely meet us. I encourage members of the com-

munity to visit Inn From The Cold. Ask questions. Consider becoming a volunteer or donor. Talk to your political representa-tives. Advocate for year-round funding and facilities for day programs.

When the invisible become visible, we should consider it a step forward. When the right to feel free from uncomfortable feelings conflicts with the right to simply be in a public place, it provides an oppor-tunity to ask what more we can do to help the homeless. It strengthens the dialogue between administrators, community partners, funders, shelter staff and volun-teers. It brings the issue out of hiding and confronts us all in a way that demands a solution.

Flag raising celebrates our different cultures, lifestyles

April 16 marked a day of peace and union for Bradford West Gwillimbury’s Sikh com-munity as residents celebrated the founding of the Order of the Khalsa by 10th Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh.

Councillor Raj Sandhu, joined by other members of council and the BWG Diversity Group, spoke to the special recognition, also known as Khalsa Day.

“I recently went to Queen’s Park for Khalsa Day and it made me realize just how proud I am to be part of this municipality,” he said.

“I did some research and I believe that Bradford is the municipality to first officially

raise the Khalsa flag in Ontario, if not Can-ada.”

South Simcoe Police deputy chief Andrew Fletcher thanked Sandhu and the diversity group for their continued efforts in educating the public in BWG about different cultures and lifestyles, saying an event such as Khalsa Day truly speaks to the value of our com-munity.

The sight of so many residents gathering to celebrate was also very encouraging, he added.

Following a group prayer and the raising of a flag, guests enjoyed an array of food and refreshments provided by members of the Sikh community.

For many years, Bradford West Gwillim-bury resident and proud member of the Latin community Adriana McNeill Salinas has had to travel south to celebrate various Latin events and celebrations.

This year, however, McNeill will be bring-ing the excitement and flare of the Latin culture right here to BWG this summer with the help of council and the BWG Diversity Group, leading to the creation of the Latin Group.

McNeill, who was accompanied by hus-band and local business owner James, broth-er Gustavo Salinas, his wife Liliana Hernan-dez and close friend Santiago Oseguera, aims to have the group highlight all parts of BWG’s Latin community.

“We wanted to form a group to help pro-mote that specific community, so residents know we are here to provide support for events or proclamations,” McNeill said.

“This will give us a chance to share enter-tainment, dancing, food and so much more from our Spanish-speaking areas such as Mexico, Caribbean and both Central and South America. We just want to spread the happiness.”

McNeill, who will celebrate 30 years in Canada since moving from Colombia, is a successful business owner herself, right here in BWG. Having owned a hair salon for 15 years while also taking on the task of man-ager at Bradford Jewellery and Gems, she has proven to be a shining leader in the Latin

community and among her colleagues, fam-ily and friends.

With the guidance and mentorship of her husband, as well as organizational and event support from Salinas, Hernandez and Oseguera, McNeill has already solidified two Latin-based events in BWG.

On July 16 at the Portuguese Cultural Cen-tre, the group invites residents of all cultures to experience a real Latin fiesta, featuring door prizes, authentic food, drinks and, of course, dancing.

“TLG will target music and experiences from all Latin countries. We want to make Bradford a destination for the Latin commu-nity in Simcoe County,” McNeill said.

“We plan on making the fiesta an annual event, while introducing even more events to Bradford in the future.”

On July 23, a flag raising will be held to commemorate Colombian Independence. The group hopes to introduce more procla-mations for other Spanish-speaking coun-tries throughout the year.

Funds raised at any future events will go the group for operational costs or be donated to a local charity of the group’s choosing.

If you’ve heard that people don’t read newspapers anymore, think again.

Readership of weekly community newspapers in Ontario is very strong, according to the Community News-paper Readership Report released by BrandSpark International.

The report, conducted in partner-ship with Metroland Media, found that 73 per cent of Ontarians surveyed have read at least one of the last four issues of their Metroland Media community newspaper.

That rate is 84 per cent for the papers in Metroland’s Simcoe region – including the Bradford Topic, Barrie Advance, Innisfil Journal, Orillia Today, The Mirror, The Sun, The Connection, Meaford Express and Alliston Herald.

Most notably, just under nine in 10 (87 per cent) younger adults surveyed between the ages of 18 and 35 are read-ing their community newspaper as much or more often this year than last year. That number jumps to 92 per cent for all adults surveyed.

“I think it’s fair to say that we were surprised at the strength of commu-nity newspapers in light of how print in general is perceived,” said Mark Baltazar, vice-president and partner at BrandSpark International. “These find-ings reinforce how much local informa-

tion matters to Ontarians. Community newspapers are playing a major role in the lives of the people we studied, keeping them connected to what’s going on in their own backyards.”

Compared to last year, 13 per cent of the people surveyed indicate they are reading Metroland newspapers more often while almost 80 per cent have not changed their readership habits. Only 6 per cent of the people indicate they are reading it less.

“This news certainly reinforces the feedback that we’ve heard from our readers across the province,” said Michelle Digulla, vice-president of marketing at Metroland Media. “There is a strong appetite for the community-level, hyper-local news that community newspapers, in print and online, are uniquely set up to deliver.”

More than 13,000 adults across Ontario were surveyed online and by phone for the study, which was com-pleted from Nov. 24, 2015 to Jan. 31, 2016.

The study focused on readership for the more than 100 local websites and community newspapers (includ-ing flyers) published across Ontario by Metroland Media. The margin of error is +/- 0.94 per cent.
