The organizers of the 28th annual Afrofest, which for the past four summers has been held at Woodbine Park in the Beach, are crying foul about the City of Toronto’s decision to reduce their two-day event to a one-day affair.

In a Monday email, Music Africa, which runs and produces the festival, said this decision by the city will have significant negative impacts on their fes-tival.

“This move will not only make it difficult to organize a viable festival but also hinder its growth and community impact,” the email read.

Music Africa said it is always willing to “work constructively” with City of Toronto officials,

Afrofest downsized to one day

Chopped 55, an initiative spearheaded by 55 Division’s Community Response Unit, pitted teams of six students in grades 4 to 6 from six local junior public schools – Bruce, Dundas, Roden, Blake Street, Morse Street, and Leslieville – against each other in a friendly cooking competition.

The challenge, which included Mexican, Italian, appetizers and fine dining r o u n d s, k i c k e d o f f i n November and wrapped up earlier this month.

All of the cooking com-petition’s bi-weekly pre-liminary rounds took place at the Loblaws PC Cooking School on Musgrave Street, near Victoria Park Avenue and Gerrard Street East.

Kitchen co-ordinator Kira Guthrie from Loblaws worked closely with 55 Division’s Const. Glen Pablo and participating police offi-cers to set up and run the program.

“We wanted to do some-thing fun and exciting for the kids and everyone loves those cooking competitions on TV, especially Chopped,” said Guthrie, who also vis-ited participants at their schools.

“The kids really got into it, a lot more than we thought they would,” she said, point-ing to some students who were so inspired they’ve

started cooking meals for their families at home.

“It’s really good team work, too. The kids all worked together.”

Guthrie said she hopes the program will continue to run for years to come as it was such a great experience for all involved.

“We’re already brain-storming ideas for next year,” she said.

Pablo said another desired outcome of the program was to help build confidence.

“We hope (the kids) got life skills, mentoring, and positive interactions with the police,” he said.

Ayda Zivariparan from Dundas Junior Public School loved being part of Chopped 55.

“It’s very exciting and it gave us the opportunity to see if we want to become a chef or not,” she said during the Italian round back in January.

Prior to Chopped 55, the Grade 4 student hadn’t had many interactions with the police.

“I think they’re really nice. They’re just nice people,” said Ayda, who is one of about 40 volunteers at her

school who helps with the hot lunch program.

Grade 5 student Tiffany Vuong, who is also from Dundas, said she was excited to be part of her school’s Chopped 55 team.

“I knew I would enjoy every moment,” said Tiffany, who said she likes to cook and learn how to make new things.

“I’m pretty confident we’re going to make it to the final (round). We did pretty well in the other rounds.”

Aside from bringing together young people and police officers from the city’s east end for a fun cooking

competition, Chopped 55 included certification for participants on first aid and food handling as well as training on the preparation of healthy, tasty meals.

Throughout the four rounds of competition, a host of personalities were invited to serve as judges, including politicians, members of the media, motivational speak-ers, community leaders, educators and other positive influencers as well as repre-sentatives from ProAction Cops and Kids.

Sonia Cuffy, the winner of season 2 of Chopped Canada, also volunteered her time to serve as a celebrity judge, mentor, and cheerleader.

“Cooking is something I love to do and I also love to give back,” said Cuffy, who visited schools to teach cooking techniques, includ-ing basic knife skills that helped students with food preparation on competition nights.

“I’ve really enjoyed doing this and the kids are awe-some. If I’ve influenced just one kid, my mission is complete.”

Chopped 55 was made possible through a grant from ProAction, Cops and Kids, which provides finan-cial support for community programs run by the Toronto Police Service Community Policing Unit on behalf of kids at risk.

Toronto police partnered with Loblaws and George Brown College Chef School on the initiative. The Food Network Canada and Guerilla Printing also supported Chopped 55.

To raise funds for tro-phies and prizes, Chopped 55’s organizers are selling Chopped 55 aprons for $20. Donations are welcome.

The sure signs that it’s March Break:

1. You get the sudden urge for maple syrup. Not just so you can lather it on an entic-ing stack of pancakes you are intending to inhale either. Your primary focus is to go to one of those festivals out of the city to actually see how they make the yummy stuff.

2. You constantly day-dream of heading off to High Park, Riverdale Farm or the Toronto Zoo. After which you immediately break into a rousing chorus of Talk to the Animals, secretly hoping the next person who walks by will ask you if you speak rhinoceros. So you can giggle, “Of courseros, can’t you?”

3. Without even real-izing it, you find yourself Googling bed and breakfasts in Muskoka though you don’t even know what the heck they are.

4. You jot down Medieval

Times in big bold letters on your things-to-do list. There’s no getting around it. There’s just something about this holiday that has you itching to see a joust.

5. You find your ears perk-ing up while eavesdropping on a friend’s conversation and you can’t stop yourself from interrupting, “Excuse me. But did I just overhear you say wagon ride? If so, count me in.”

6. Thoughts of scavenger hunts race through your mind.

7. Seeing bustling outdoor playgrounds with all over the GTA.

8. NCAA Basketball March Madness coming to a TV near you.

9. And a tablet. And a

laptop. And a mobile phone. Incredibly, the latter three often found perched on the lap of one co-worker. Sitting next to you, if you’re lucky.

10. Having celebrities such as Dora the Explorer drop by your local mall to put on a show.

11. Two words: nature trail.

12. Two more: must visit.

13. Last two: right now.

14. Going down to the boardwalk in the Beach.

15: Seeing monarch but-terflies everywhere.

16. Being asked for direc-tions to Casa Loma.

17. Wondering if this will be the year you actually hop on a plane to Florida to catch the Jays at spring training.

18. Or finally muster up the courage to do the scary

Opening safe injection sites is right thing to doA Toronto Board of Health proposal to open safe

injection sites for drug users in three neigh-bourhoods is bound to make many residents

uncomfortable, but it is the right thing to do. Put quite simply, these sites will save lives and make our entire city safer.

That being said, if you live in Parkdale, south Riverdale or the Yonge/Dundas area you are rightly feeling some concern. Residents will be asking them-selves if safety in the area will be compromised, if they at risk of being flooded with heroin and fentanyl addicts looking to shoot up. The answer is: No.

The call for the safe injection sites has been made in response to a growing number of deaths related to overdoses during the past decade in Toronto.

Those numbers are up 41 per cent from a decade earlier, and in 2013 a shocking 206 people died after

injecting drugs. In the face of these numbers, to do nothing would be both irresponsible and immoral on the part of the health department and our city’s leaders.

“All lives are important, and nurse-supervised safe injection sites save lives,” said Angela Robertson, executive director of the Queen West-Central Toronto Community Health Centre in Parkdale, one of the proposed safe-injection sites.

The South Riverdale CHC and a Toronto Public Health office known as The Works near Yonge and Dundas are also proposed safe injection sites.

All three facilities already offer safe injection kits and have experience. They were identified as the best spots for the safe injection sites since they have the busiest needle exchanges in the city.

Their staff say the existing services prevent the spread of hepatitis C and HIV among drug users.

But more still needs to be done. Many addicts vis-iting these centres are homeless, and since they often use quickly and in public, most often alone, they are at high risk of a lethal overdose. Providing a safe place for them to do this lessens the chance of death or disease.

The board of health will offer further recommen-dations on the safe injection sites this summer, once community meetings are held in the identified areas.

We encourage you to take part in these meetings and learn the facts about this proposal.

but added the conditions set by the city jeopardize the suc-cess of their festival.

“This seems in complete contradiction to Toronto’s official ‘Music City’ initiatives,” organizers charged.

On Monday, Beaches-East York Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon said the city made the decision to reduce Afrofest’s event permit from two days to one because Music Africa failed to respect noise regulations as well as exceeded permitted time frames.

Afrofest organizers are denying these allegations.

“The sound company we employ does most of the events at Woodbine Park, including Canada Day and Beaches Jazz Festival concerts, and use the same sound equipment, crew and sound levels,” said Peter Toh, Music Africa’s president, in the press release.

“The volume at Afrofest is no different than at those events, but in our case they are being called violations.”

In the email, Toh said the city had agreed, in writing, six months prior to Afrofest’s 2015 edition to allow the festival to run later to accommodate a ceremony for the Pan Am Games, then just two weeks before changed the permit conditions.

“There seems to be no

understanding of the con-tractual obligations we had, both to accommodating the Pan Am Torch Relay and to the headline act that followed,” he charged.

McMahon disagreed.“We set strong parameters

and they were followed by and large the first year. The second, third and fourth years, not so much. The envelope contin-ued to be pushed,” she said.

“I live up by The Danny and could hear the music up there. There is a community (by Woodbine Park) and we want people to get a good night’s sleep and have a good quality of life.”

McMahon said Woodbine Park hosts a diverse range of large-scale events and festi-

vals, many of which result in little to no complaints from the community.

“(Afrofest) is a well-loved festival and we didn’t pull the plug completely,” she said. “We would like the rules to be followed and respected. We’ll reward good behaviour.”

McMahon said if all goes well this time around, the city will discuss issuing a two-day permit in 2017.

Afrofest, which started in 1989, is the largest annual African music festival in North America. It draws up to 60,000 revelers daily.

Up until 2011, Afrofest was held at Queen’s Park but it “outgrew” that space and was relocated to Woodbine Park in 2012.

An open house on a restau-rant study being undertaken for a stretch of Queen Street East from Woodbine Avenue to Nursewood Road will take place Wednesday.

The meeting will run from 7 to 9 p.m. at Beach United Church, 140 Wineva Ave., just north of Queen Street East. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The study, which is being done by Toronto’s planning, economic development and culture divisions, aims to

improve the economic health of local eateries while maintaining the commu-nity’s “main-street” character. The study could result in an updated, area-specific zone bylaw amendment regulating restaurant uses.

City staff will be on hand to answer questions and hear feedback from resi-dents on the study’s direc-

tion. Comment sheets will be available.

To speak directly to the planner, contact George Panazis at 416-392-3566 or [email protected]

Comments can also be mailed to Toronto and East York District, 100 Queen St. W., Floor 18, East Tower, Toronto, ON, M5H 2N2.

For further information, call Ward 32 Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon’s office at 416-392-1376.

A longtime member of the TTC’s media relations depart-ment has retired from the organization.

Danny Nicholson, or at least his voice, may be rec-ognizable to many riders. You would often hear him on pre-recorded station announce-ments advising of subway closures or advising of the heavy fines for smoking on TTC property.

Nicholson’s last day at the transit commission was Friday, and he leaves a large legacy. Cheers Danny!

wexpect delivery of 4 streetcars a month

It appears the TTC’s long-standing streetcar nightmare is coming to an end.

According to the Toronto Star, Bombardier has pre-sented a plan to deliver four of the sleek new models each month beginning in April. The fleet of low-floor, air condi-tioned, smoothly running vehicles has been a hit with riders, but only 16 are cur-rently in service.

wmcnicoll BUs GaraGe cost still UnKnoWn

A full breakdown of costs for another contentious transit project, the McNicoll Bus Garage, was supposed to have been revealed last week to the executive committee, but city staff admitted the numbers aren’t ready.

The budget for the proj-ect is already known, $181 million, and construction is supposed to begin this year in order for the facility to open by 2019. The TTC has listed the garage as one of its top unfunded construction priorities due to the lack of storage space for its bus fleet, particularly in the city’s north end.

The project has attracted significant opposition from residents near Kennedy Road and McNicoll Avenue who have attempted to halt the garage, with little success.

wsheppard extension to doWnsvieW soUGht

The significant technical and financial challenge of build-ing a Sheppard Avenue West subway extension from Yonge-Sheppard to Downsview sta-tion has not dissuaded York Centre Councillor James Pasternak from continuing to push for it.

It’s estimated to cost $2 bil-lion, and that doesn’t include the cost of building a bridge over the West Don River.

Last week, Pasternak con-vinced his colleagues on the mayor’s executive committee to support further study of the project, even though the city’s own Feeling Congested review mechanism ranks the proposal in the bottom 25 per cent of all analyzed transit projects.

Unless you are Pasternak, the project is simply not a pri-ority in a city that has more important transit needs.

The Danforth East Community Association (DECA) is looking to recognize young leaders from the city’s east end.

The community group, which got its start in 2007 with the goal of making Danforth East a more vibrant, walk-able, safe place, has recently launched the Young Leaders Scholarship.

The program, which is being launched in partnership with Toronto Community Housing and the Scadding Court Community Centre

(SCCC), will provide a gradu-ating student with $2,000 to help with the cost of their post-secondary education.

To quality, students must be 25 years old or younger, live or go to high school within the DECA boundaries (from Monarch Park to Main Street, Lumsden/Mortimer to the train tracks), be gradu-ating this year, and have a plan to continue their edu-cation, demonstrate a need for financial help, and have a strong record of activism

or engagement.T h e Yo u n g L e a d e r s

Scholarship is part of SCCC’s Investing in our Diversity Scholarship Program, which was established in 2001 and has distributed upwards of 330 scholarships valued at $1,000 to $4,000 to students from low-income families who have demonstrated good academic records and com-munity leadership.

To raise funds for the scholarship, DECA will be holding a community ping

pong tournament this June. Stay tuned for details.

The application dead-line for the Young Leaders Scholarship is Thursday, March 31 at 5 p.m.

The provincial government is offering support to high school and post-secondary students looking to start up their own businesses.

The program is accept-ing submissions from stu-dents aged 15 to 29. Selected entrants will receive grants of up to $3,000, plus training and mentorship.

Last year, the province invested $250 million in a Youth Jobs Strategy that aims to tackle the issue of youth unemployment and under-employment in Ontario. That investment will aid programs like Summer Company, which has helped young people launch businesses in the technology, health care,

recreation and other fields.Summer Company will

start in late June/early July and run through Labour Day.

Applications wil l be accepted until May 6.

It wasn’t long before numbers were negotiated,permits issued and Cascata Bistro was born.

TogetherAngela and the bistro’s chef continuously strive to create new, delicious and enticingcombinations -often using herbs and vegetables from the bistro’s own kitchen garden.

The pilot project, which the city’s board of health will debate on Monday is the city’s response to a rising number of overdose deaths – up 41 per cent in a decade – from heroin and fentanyl. The latest sta-tistic from 2013 recorded 206 deaths in Toronto from people who had injected drugs.

The city’s health depart-ment said injection drug users visited such harm reduction services across Toronto 100,000 times in 2015, and almost 1.9 million needles were distributed last year, along with other supplies.

Providing life-saving harm-reduction services is nothing new to the South Riverdale Community Centre, which has operated its award-winning COUNTERfit Harm Reduction Program for 18 years.

COUNTERfit, which serves people who use drugs and live in an area roughly bounded by the Don River, Victoria Park Avenue, Lake Ontario and Eglinton Avenue, distributes and collects needles as well

as offers referrals for health care and addictions services to its 3,000 clients, not all of whom are intravenous drug users. Last year, the program received more than 22,000 client visits and distributed more than 320,000 needles.

Lynne Raskin, SRCHC’s executive director, said pro-viding a safe-injection service

is “the piece that has always been missing” at the east-end facility.

“This is something that is certainly good for people who are in the system, but also for the community,” she said, adding a supervised injection site will result in fewer syringes left behind in the community by users.

She said 24 to 28 clients are expected to make use of the service daily during business hours. The program is open weekdays at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays and until 8 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Raskin also said the SRCHC feels it’s important to help the community understand what will take happen if a super-vised injection site opens in the community.

She said basically there will be an intake process for clients who will go into a small room with three cubicles as well as an after-care area. A nurse, a co-ordinator, and harm reduction workers will

also be on hand at all times, Raskin said.

“The point is to accept people where they’re at and go from there and develop positive relationships with cli-ents,” she said, noting SRCHC is home to the only memorial of its kind in North America for people who have died from preventable diseases related to drug addiction.

“It’s not just about para-phernalia; the other piece is to save lives.”

Riverdale resident Linda Rozmovits has served as a SRCHC board member for three years and said the pro-posed supervised injection site would enhance one of the organization’s core services: harm reduction.

“This new initiative is really just the logical next step,” she said Tuesday afternoon, adding those who access harm-reduction services are much easier to connect to health and other social service supports.

“The idea with supervised injection is less people inject-

ing in public. Nobody deserves to die alone in a stairwell.”

Rozmovits said it’s under-standable some community members may be concerned, but the SRCHC will be there to answer any questions and hear feedback.

Diane Dyson, the director of research and public policy at WoodGreen Community Services, said her organiza-tion has had a long-standing partnership with the SRCHC. A number of WoodGreen clients make use of SRCHC’s harm-reduction program.

She said the east-end social service agency would welcome the safe injection site.

“We think it’s a really impor-tant thing to be doing. We’ve seen a rise in the number of overdose deaths,” said Dyson, a mother of two.

Toronto-Danforth Councillor Paula Fletcher said the city has a responsi-bility to do its part to reduce the number of drug overdose deaths and emergency rooms visits in Toronto by intrave-nous drug users.

“The time has come. The statistics are troubling,” said Fletcher, who expressed her support for the safe injection site proposed for her ward.

“I have a lot of faith in the South Riverdale Community Health Centre. They have a lot of experience in harm reduc-tion.”

C a n a d a ’ s f o r m e r Conservative government was hostile towards Vancouver’s Insite, the country’s only safe injection facility, even after a 2011 Supreme Court ruling supported its existence. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said he approves of Insite as a model other cities can use.

Dr. David McKeown, Toronto’s medical officer of health, said the benefits of safe injection sites are proven by research. He will report back to the board in July, after public meetings take place.
