    eres good news if youre planning on putting your house up for sale any time soon.

    The average price of a resale home in York Region increased

    by 13.5 per cent in 2015 to $777,927, Paul Bottomley, York Regions manager of policy, research and planning in the economic development department, said during a presentation on the state of the regions economy.

    That has jumped from $491,883 for the average resale home only five years ago.

    Meanwhile, the price is almost 70-per-cent higher than what the province deems is the maximum affordable homeownership threshold for the region.

    That stood at $459,000 in 2015.There is an increasing gap between this

    affordable threshold and the average resale price, with the gap increasing considerably over the last few years, Bottomley said.

    If the price of new homes were included, which sat at an average of $987,106 at the end of 2015, the gap between the affordable housing threshold and the cost of buying a home in York would be even higher.

    The typical price of a resale home in the region is 25-per-cent higher than the Greater Toronto Area, where the average is $622,217.

    The region continues to show strength in the residential resale market, recording the highest number of resales ever in 2015, at more than 19,100 sales, Bottomley said.

    All in all, going back over the last few years, the resale market continues to be very strong in York Region, which has reported above 16,000 resales annually since 2009.

    The average price of a resale single detached home in York in 2015 was $943,411, up 15 per cent over 2014.

    For a semi-detached home, the average price last year was $606,779, up 13.8 per cent over the year before.

    The average townhouse cost $575,427, up 12.2 per cent.

    The skyrocketing prices can be attributed to a number of issues, including a lack of houses for sale compared to demand, result-ing in more competition and aggressive offers, Bottomley said.

    Housing prices have been driven up by a lack of ground-level housing such as detached, semi-detached and townhouse homes, Jason Mercer, director of market analysis with the Toronto Real Estate Board.

    Were certainly experiencing sellers

    market conditions in York Region, along with all the other regions in the Greater Toronto Area, he said.

    I would say the biggest story over the last year has been the short supply of list-ings. There arent a lot of homes out there for people and when that happens, you see price growth.

    Of course, all those inflated housing num-bers may not be good news if you are pur-chasing elsewhere in the region where prices are also high or you are a first-time buyer try-ing to get your foot in the door of Yorks hot housing market.

    Some people cant even afford to get into the market. When you think about people in their 20s and 30s wanting to do starter homes, theyre never going to get there. Even if they do, they are going to be paying an incredible amount of money just to stay housed, Mary Ann Proulx, executive director of York Regions citizens for afford-able housing based in Richmond Hill.

    The population that I work with are low-income and middle-income, people who generally are not in a position to be home owners and they are going to be renting. Well, the average one-bedroom apartment rents for $1,000 a month in York Region, and try and find that. Were in a housing crisis. I dont know what the solution is, but somethings got to give.

    Building permits were issued for 9,546 new houses in York last year,

    a 51-per-cent increase over 2014.

    Meanwhile, building permits were issued for 9,546 new houses in York last year, a 51-per-cent increase over 2014, Bottomley said.

    The region has the second highest share of building activity in the GTHA at 22 per cent, second only to Torontos 36 per cent. Peel Region is at 19 per cent, Halton Region is at 9 per cent, Durham Region is at 8 per cent and Hamilton is at 6 per cent.

    Across Canada, York is fifth in the number of residential building permits issued last year, behind Greater Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary.

    York is seventh in Canada for industrial, commercial and institutional construction, with almost $927.5 billion worth of construc-tion last year.

    The 2015 total construction value in the region was almost $4 billion, the highest ever recorded.

    HResales at all-time high as house prices climb 13.5%

    Other highlights of Bottomleys presentation included:

    4 The population of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area is estimated to be 7.2 mil-lion, up about 90,000 new residents in the last year.

    4 Yorks population is almost 1.166 mil-lion or 16.2 per cent of the GTHA total, down from about 17 per cent in 2010.

    4 The region welcomed about 21,500 new residents last year, which is a growth rate of almost 2 per cent. Before the recession of 2008, the region was growing by more than 30,000 residents a year.

    4 By comparison, Toronto has 39.2 per cent of the GTHAs population, while Dur-ham Region has 9.2 per cent, Peel Region has 20 per cent, Halton Region has 7.8 per cent and Hamilton has 7.7 per cent.

    4 Markham grew by 8,000 residents last year, a 2.3-per-cent increase. In percentage terms, King grew the most at 3.8 per cent, which worked out to just less than 1,000 new residents. Aurora grew by 2.5 per cent, East Gwillimbury by 1.2 per cent, Georgina by 1.3 per cent, Richmond Hill and Vaughan each by 1.8 per cent and Whitchurch-Stouffville by 1.6 per cent. Newmarket had the smallest percentage population growth

    at 0.5 per cent. 4 In terms of numbers of new residents,

    the majority of growth remains in Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan, which took in more than 17,000 of Yorks 21,500 new resi-dents.

    4 Since 2008, 91,000 new jobs have been created in the region, including more than 13,000 in 2015. That compares to 7,400 new jobs last year in Durham Region, 3,000 in Mississauga and 38,000 in Toronto.

    4 Yorks unemployment rate dropped to 5.7 per cent last year, down from 6.2 in 2014.

    4 The United States is Canadas and York Regions largest trading partner. The region exports $4 billion worth of goods annually, with most of that going to the U.S.

    4 Almost 60 per cent of foreign direct investment in the region is from the U.S. and the majority of foreign-owned firms with a presence in the region are American.

    4 The U.S. economy is expected to remain resilient and is anticipated to report steady growth in the employment and housing markets, which will have a positive spinoff effect for York.

    4 The lower Canadian dollar will benefit the GTHA industrial market, including York Regions, which will result in higher demand for export of goods to the U.S.

    Drinking-and-driving charge laid

    A man taken to hospital following a single-vehicle crash near Hoover Park Drive and Thicketwood Boulevard in Stouffville last week is facing a drinking-and-driving charge.

    The Stouffville man, 34, has since been released from hospital. He was charged with driving with more than 80 milligrams of alco-hol in 100 milliliters of blood, York Regional Police said Thursday.

    A court date has been set for June 17.Police received a call May 18 at 1:30 p.m.

    after a silver Honda Civic crashed into a pole near the intersection.

    No other vehicles were involved and police report only the driver was injured.

    The collision site was cordoned off with police tape as officers investigated.

    The intersection is near Wendat Village Public School and the Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library and Leisure Centre.

    The impaired driving charge came as York police reported laying more than 185 impaired driving-related charges in the region during the past 30 days.

    s sure as it snowed in mid-May on Main Street, spring is on her way.

    And maybe that was even summer who popped in like an old, always-welcome friend unexpectedly this week.

    Maybe.An Australian once told me

    how she so envied you Cana-dians.

    You have the four seasons to look forward to, she said. Back home, its sunny and the same every day. No surprises. Bo-ring.

    It was early January and sleet was beating down on the GTA like a non-stop migraine. I didnt get it. Blame it on a brain freeze.

    This week, I understand her.

    Garden centres battled The Beer Store for retail domi-nance during the Victoria Day Weekend. The queen would be proud, no doubt.

    Kids are drooling over the pool going in down the block.

    And once ice and snow-covered sidewalks are now home to people, often led by members of Stouffvilles large dog community.

    Canines and humans alike working off some of that bag-gage acquired watching the Leafs dominate the Auston Matthews sweepstakes and those lovable Raptors exorcise so many demons during our long winter.

    Or maybe it was the Real Hockey Housewives of Edmonton County, or whatev-er that show is called, weekend marathon that got me good.

    As good as Stouffvilles side-walks are, there is a need for one on the extension of Baker Street as it continues into Wil-loway near two schools and a popular park.

    There should be a need in you to get off the concrete and onto the bounty of trails and green spaces that surround us.

    My favourites: The Eldred King Wood-

    lands. Part of the massive York Regional Forest and named for one of Stouffvilles finest fig-ures, there are several long and winding trails and a magical pond that will make you forget you live this close to Toronto. You will be on Hwy. 48 north of Ballantrae.

    Stouffvilles own trail sys-tem, especially as it makes it way through the subdivisions, parks and wetlands of south Stouffville. Love that bridge near Byers Pond Way Park.

    The Stouffville Reservoir, on Millard Street east of Ninth Line, was built after Hurricane Hazel ripped through Ontario in 1954. It offers us protection on top of another natural area, complete with walking trails and a large pond, which is sometimes home to magnifi-cent swans.

    Take a walk, Stouffville.Play some Tragically Hip

    through your phone. The song Courage makes sense, given lead singer Gord Downies diagnosis of terminal brain cancer that went public this week.

    Back in 1995, you didnt need earbuds to hear the most Canadian rock band ever note for note in Stouffville when they played the Markham Fair-grounds during their Another Roadside Attraction tour.

    ont paint all biker clubs with the same brush. Some are obnoxious.

    Others are beneficial. Brothers of the Blade,

    with headquarters in Whitchurch-Stouffville, have, during the past 16 years, established them-selves as one of the most highly regarded motorcycle organizations in Ontario.

    Their leader is Bruce Arrowsmith of Stouffville.

    Sixty-year-old Arrow-smith, an established architect and former Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville building department direc-tor, is a native of Thunder Bay, moving here in 1972.

    One of four in the fam-ily of William and Marion Arrowsmith, Bruce grew up knowing one of his two sisters was suffering from a genetic disorder known as Down syndrome and that his parents had earlier assisted in establishing a charitable organization on Manitoulin Island for their daughter and others simi-larly affected.

    When the motorcycle club was founded, Bruce and his biker brothers made this objective their goal. To date, more than $400,000 has been raised.

    My sister and I have always been close, Bruce discloses. Shes taught me a lot.

    When it comes to motor-cycles, Bruce remembers his first. It was a second-hand Honda, he recalls, kind of old and ratty. He was only 11 at the time.

    Since then, Ive had more than I can count, he notes, adding Ive never been without one since the first one. His current machine is a 1990 Harley-Davidson. Brand new, a motorcycle similar to his, could cost as much as $35,000. All club members ride Harleys.

    Over the past 50 years Bruce has enjoyed many long-distance trips includ-ing one in which he trav-elled more than 4,000 miles in a span of two weeks. Occasionally he travels alone, but more often with club friends some of whom have been bike riders all their lives.

    I ride whenever time allows me and whenever weather lets me, he says.

    It was back in 1990 that Bruce and several friends travelled to Manitoulin Island to assist with a fundraising event for dis-abled kids.

    While there, members began collecting donations resulting in the creation of an account called Pennies from Heaven. From this small beginning, the figure grew into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    The Blades northern chapter is located north of Bracebridge in Muskoka. The Whitchurch club oper-ates from a 100-acre site on Woodbine Avenue. Funds are raised through dances, raffles and auctions with, according to Bruce, every dime going to the associa-tion.

    However, the years big-gest event locally occurs next month at the club site. Its called Daybreak Day with dozens of kids with disabilities coming together for a fun-filled

    afternoon and evening.Its more important

    to them than Christmas, explains Bruce. In addi-tion to a barbecue, every girl and boy is treated to a ride around the prop-erty on a motorcycle; some two or three rides if they wish to wait in line, Bruce says. Bike-owners and care workers help visitors on and off the machines.

    Once they get on, some dont want to get off, notes Bruce. The kids look for-ward to this all year long, He describes the picnic area as a sea of smiling faces.

    A similar get-together is held in Muskoka on Labor Day.

    Any problems with police? Bruce was asked. They know who we are, he replied. He admits, however, it took several years to establish a good rapport. The same applies to associations with other biker clubs, some less rep-utable.

    They respect us for what we do. What they do is their business, Bruce says.

    The Brothers of the Blade abide by a written charter and established bylaws. Anyone refusing to live by the organization rules and regulations isnt welcome, Bruce stresses.

    He describes belonging as a major commitment thats not for everyone. Were a family, he says.

    Bruce speaks modestly of his leadership role.

    It takes all of us, not just me, he claims. He says the entire member-ship is proud of the work they do and the resulting success.

    The charity we spon-sor is special to each of us, he concluded.

    Re: Town begins hiring spree at library, downtown, May 5

    The Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library has been in operation since 1899, serving with distinction a com-munity of around 1,000 at that time, moving to some 46,000 today. The current library staff of 20 (nine full time and 11 part time) has an average length of service of 10 years, with nearly 40 per cent being with the library more than 15 years, signifying a loyal, consistent, dedi-cated and service-oriented group of people.

    It is significant to note that during the past 11 years only six employees have left the library four due to retirement, one due to long-term disability and one who left for a more senior position, that of CEO of another public library. In this time frame also, the library has created three new co-ordinator positions all filled internally, a tribute to the opportunities provided for personal growth and promotion from within.

    The only recent hire is that of the manager of library services to back fill the position left vacant by the previ-ous occupant who left for a more senior position. This individual was hired through interviews carried out by the library team, comprising the CEO, vice-chair and the CEO of another library, and chosen from 34 high quality applications received, a sure indication that the library continues to be a choice place to work.

    We are operating in an environment where our library is not just a place to borrow books and DVDs etc, but also an institution that provides programs of inter-est for kids, teens, adults and families and quiet space for students and others to study, use a computer or just browse through the genealogy room.

    Our first-class staff is always ready to help as they continue their community oriented service to all resi-dents of our fast=growing town.

    The Regional Municipality of York presents

    york.ca

    hear what Smith said, Jackson confirmed the use of inappropriate council language Thursday.

    Reporters sit at the back of the council chambers.

    The recording, which was posted to the towns website late Friday, is not crystal clear during the exchange.

    Smith asked to speak to the issue but was told by Altmann, who was asking councillors to vote following a discussion, he was too late.

    You have to be listening and on time, Altmann tells Smith.

    Dont be a smart Smith says before the recording fades.

    Altmann promptly asked Smith to main-tain proper language and for an apology.

    Smith did not apologize, saying not a chance.

    Then be warned, Altmann says.Smith, who represents the Ballantrae and

    Musselmans Lake area, did not respond to requests for comment from The Sun-Tribune last week. On Tuesday, he said he would release a statement later that day after speak-ing with Altmann.

    No statement was released as of yesterday at noon. Smith said he was still waiting to speak to Altmann.

    Altmann emailed a response to The Sun-Tribune Friday morning confirming bad lan-guage was used, saying: The council meet-ing was livestreamed and the resident, Rob Dougald, was listening. He had friends in the audience who were paying attention and they confirmed to him what they witnessed and heard.

    Very inappropriate, not professional and extremely disrespectful to the mayor and not within proper decorum, Altmann said Friday.

    I did ask for an apology at the time the remark was made and also cautioned on the use of language against members of council and reminded council as a whole that we are to act with respect towards each other. I did not receive an apology.

    Altmann did not repeat the phrase when asked in an email.

    Nothing further will come of this matter, Altmann said.

    Council meetings are broadcast live online. The audio recording is posted at: http://www.townofws.ca/en/calendar/council/Default.aspx

    $15.4 M library, leisure centre expansion on schedule: mayor

    Residents will be able to enjoy the expanded Whitchurch-Stouffville Leisure Centre and Public Library in the fall of 2017.

    Council recently approved the hiring of Percon Construction Inc. to manage the construction services for the planned expansion, which means construction will begin immediately.

    We are very excited to move forward with the expansion of the Leisure Centre and Public Library, Mayor Justin Altmann said in a media release Friday. I am very happy that all the deadlines have been met in delivering the project on time for 2017.

    The construction of the facility, located at Park Drive and Hoover Park Drive in Memorial Park, will begin as soon as the detailed design drawings are wrapped up. The hope is to have a final design and all construction service providers in place by September.

    If all continues to stay on the plotted timeline, the facility will be complete and ready for use in December 2017.

    At this same meeting, council agreed to move the fitness centre to the west side of the building beside the gymna-sium to reduce expenses and improve synergies between both features of the centre.

    The design, management and construc-tion costs for the project is $15.4 million.

    Be a tourist in your own town, Stouffville. If you didnt think it was possible, think again.

    Doors Open Whitchurch-Stouffville runs June 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event offers residents a chance to tour sites to discover the heritage and significance of places in the town.

    Unlike most vacations, this one is free and will run regardless of weather conditions. It involves a tour of 12 locations.

    The event is presented by the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum and Community Centre and its the 12th year in the town.

    There are about 1,600 site visits per year on the day of the event.

    Doors Open is a province-wide event run by the Ontario Heritage Trust. Each year the trust sets a theme with this years theme being science and innovation. The

    Stouffville chapter started in 2004 by the Heritage Advisory Board and a group of dedicated volunteers. The town took over responsibility in 2008.

    We try to figure out what sites in our com-munity fit with the theme, museum program coordinator Krista Rauchenstein said. We send out invitations and choose 12 applica-tions that satisfy the theme.

    The museum gives visitors a passport on which they can collect stamps as they go from site to site. Once stamped, passports can be submitted into a draw.

    Passports, as well as information, bro-chures and maps can be found at any of the 12 sites on the day of the event or at the town offices or museum beforehand.

    Each site organizes their sites in a way they think best represents themselves, Rauchen-stein said. Some sites do behind-the-scenes tours, while others have planned activities.

    1 of 8 on the planet

    COMING UP

    Convent, funeral home, lodge opening doors to publicOne of the sites chosen for this years Doors Open is the Bill Fisch Forest Stewardship and Education Cen-tre. The facility is owned and operated by the Regional Municipality of York and features green innovations designed to educate the public on renewable living.The building features all-wood construction, net zero energy use through the use of solar panel, net zero water use through the use of a canopy that gathers rain water and snow and most of the building materi-als were sourced from local manufacturers to reduce carbon emissions. The facility actually generates more energy than it uses through the use of its solar panels.It opened last October and is part of the York Regional Forest, which consists of 2,300 hectares of protected land, located in different parts of the region.It was built with goal of achieving Living Building Chal-lenge certification, only eight buildings in the world that have attained this status.

    The facility is in Whitchurch-Stouffville Forests Hollidge Tract, one of four buildings in Canada constructed using Living Building criteria. The challenge is a certifi-cation program, advocacy tool and philosophy defining advanced sustainability, according to its website.It looks at location, water, energy, health and happi-ness, materials, equity and beauty in assessing its cer-tification. Find out more in their video: https://vimeo.com/1412276392016 Doors Open sites include the ONeill Funeral Home (19 Civic Ave.), the Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library (2 Park Dr.), Schell Lumber Sash and Door Shop (33 Edward St.), Renew Integrative Health (6130 Main St.), Stouffville Optometry (6240 Main St.), Richardson Masonic Lodge (279 Second St.), Treetop Trekking & Treewalk Village (3291 Stouffville Rd.), Greenbelt Greenhouse (12589 Woodbine Ave.), Holy Theotokos Convent (4369 Faulkner Ave.), Richmond Hill Live Steamers (15922 McCowan Rd.), Bill Fisch Forest Stewardship and Education Centre (16389 Highway 48) and the Pause Awhile Equestrian Centre (13243 McCowan Rd.)

    A tanker truck driver sustained minor injuries after his vehicle rolled over near the Davis Drive and Warden Avenue intersection in northern Whitchurch-Stouffville yesterday morning.

    York Regional Police were called to the scene of the single-vehicle crash at about 6:45 a.m.

    The truck flipped on its side and hit a hydro pole, knocking out power to about

    200 residents in the area on the East Gwil-limbury border, according to an outage map on Hydro Ones website.

    It also closed the road to traffic.The cause of the crash is still under investi-

    gation, York Const. Andy Pattenden said.I dont know what happened. He drove

    off the road or swerved for a deer, I have no idea, he said.

    The Whitchurch-Stouffville Soccer Club will hold a moment of silence at the begin-ning of every match during opening week of its 2016 season in honour of Jaylen Williams.

    A member of the Stouffville Mustangs Under-11 (2005) boys team, the 11-year-old passed away May 1. He served as an inspira-tion with his determination, the club said.

    Starting Tuesday and continuing through tomorrow at 7 p.m. just before the start of every game, the club asks those attending any

    game to join hands and observe a moment of silence to pay tribute to Jaylen.

    We will keep Jaylen and his family in our thoughts, remembering that we will always #PlayforJay, said club spokesperson Nick Kozak in an email to club members.

    Jaylen is survived by parents Stephan and Tanya Williams and a sibling, Ciel.
