Vulnerable residents work togetherto fight food insecurity in TorontoJUSTIN SKINNER [email protected]

While solving the problem of food insecurity will

require a concerted effort from all levels of government, there is a great deal being done at a more grassroots level to help make sure Torontonians can put food on their plates.

Organizations such as

Community Food Centres Canada (CFC), FoodShare, Building Roots and the Toronto Youth Food Policy Council (TYFPC) are engag-ing vulnerable Torontonians through a variety of programs and initiatives, providing not only food but opportunity.

CFC Chief Operating Officer Kathryn Scharf (www.cfccanada.ca) said aware-ness of food security issues is growing, as is action to

combat them. Her orga-nization originated out of The Stop Community Food Centre on Davenport Road, and now there are three such organizations in Toronto and eight across Canada.

“With almost one in 10 households experiencing food insecurity, we don’t have a hard time finding communities that could use a Community Food Centre,”

In the wake of the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, Junction-based con-temporary painter-sculptor Viktor Mitic felt compelled to lend his support to the victims and LGBT community.

He is doing so by donat-ing all proceeds from the sale of his latest work, ‘Spectral Confederation’, that depicts the Confederate flag with its stars in LGBT colours.

“The Orlando shooting is a terrible event in LGBT history and I wanted to show support

for the victims and contribute whatever help I could as relief, but there’s more to it than just that,” Mitic told The Villager. “Spectral Confederation is a piece where three contradictory elements come to life as one contemporary statement. It’s based on a Confederate flag, a symbol of oppression, and by merging the flag and LGBT struggle and by shooting it up with real guns, it sort of de-weaponizes the flag at the same time as outlining the several deep issues surrounding the North American way of life.”

The piece has been appraised

More consultation with com-munity members and stake-holders, as well as a revised timeline for the proposed men’s shelter at 731 Runnymede Rd., was adopted by the city’s Community Development and Recreation Committee

The proposal for a 100-bed

homeless men’s shelter at the former Goodwill site on Runnymede Road, just south of St. Clair Avenue West, will now be further reviewed over the summer in consultation with local residents and stakeholders, Parkdale-High Park Councillor

What Risks Do You Face?According to the Better Business Bureau, which tracks the ‘reputable’ roofing companies, roofing is at or near the topof the list for customer enquiries and complaints for the last five years in a row. Homeowners with limited experiencein roof replacement rely on the roofing contractor to recommend the proper specifications. This process becomesconfusing because there is no regulation in the industry, and each contractor recommends a different job.

What you should know about roof surface or roof deck preparation:The roof deck is the structural surface over which your roofing materials are applied. All roof boards and/or plywoodmust be fastened securely to the rafters, and damaged or rotten wood must be replaced.Your attic should be inspectedbefore the work starts to uncover potential problems.A bad roof surface allows the nails to push up through the shingles, causing leaks.

What you should know about underlayment:A complete underlay system should be applied before your shingles are installed. There are two types of roofingunderlay, waterproof and water resistant. Waterproof underlay is needed in areas most vulnerable to leaks: the eavesedge of the roof; in valleys, at dormer sides, around chimneys and around skylights. Water resistant underlay, oftencalled “tar paper”, is needed on the remaining roof area. Water resistant underlay protects the roof surface in a stormsituation where a few shingles blow off, but cannot be replaced immediately.

What you should know about ventilation:Improper attic venting is a common cause of early shingle failure, and your product warranty requires that your attichave proper ventilation. Venting consists of intake and exhaust. To facilitate proper air flow, your attic needs intakevents located in the overhang and exhaust vents at the roof peak. A balanced venting system is required; otherwise airwill be pulled from your house.An inspection of your attic is essential to present appropriate and complete venting solutions.

What you should know about shingle quality:All shingles are not the same. Estimators should include at least three grades of shingles and inform you of the realexpected shingle life. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, better quality shingles often provide you with the best valuewhen measured on a cost per year basis.

she said, adding that finding local partners willing to help deliver services is a key part of what her organization does.

Scharf noted that while teaching healthy food skills, offering cooking groups and classes, providing after-school programs where kids can have healthy snacks and creating community gardens are all great ways to combat food insecurity, the key is in making sure more Canadians can earn a living wage.

However, that’s something that will only come about when governments mandate it, said Scharf. “The key is to fight poverty, fight for housing, increase wages and social assistance rates. We can push for those things at a grassroots level, but we can’t make them happen.”

Darcy Higgins of Building Roots (www.pushfoodfor-ward.com/buildingroots) agreed that a wage policy, along with better social sup-port, is the best permanent solution, adding his orga-nization is doing its best in the meantime to bring food access to where people need it most.

“We’re trying to bring fresh food at affordable prices to where people need it most,” he said. “We have a Moss Park Market that just opened in a shipping container on Toronto Community Housing property, and that’s a model we’re hoping to rep-licate in other communities. We’re exploring and looking for partners across the city, especially in the suburbs.”

He said those battling food insecurity can also benefit from connecting with community agencies that can help teach them to cut costs and stretch their food

budgets further, by joining cooking programs run by not-for-profits, or by grow-ing their own food, perhaps in community gardens near where they live.

The Ashbridge Estate near Queen and Greenwood is a prime example of using avail-able space to bolster food security. A new community garden has been planted there by Syrian refugees to complement an existing community garden at the site. “There are so many communities – especially lower-income communities – where there aren’t stores for people to buy fresh food,” Higgins said. “It tends to be more convenience stores (instead of affordable grocery stores with more healthy

options) in those communi-ties, so you have to look at other solutions.”

Toronto Youth Food Policy Council (www.tyfpc.ca) co-chair Melana Roberts said projects to boost food secu-rity can range from relatively small in scale, such as new pop-up food markets being launched at TTC subway sta-tions at Downsview, Kipling and Victoria Park stations, to Malvern Eats – a community lunch that hosts as many as 300 guests – to the CEED (community eco economic development), which could see hydro corridors turned into community gardens.

“We’re working with Toronto Public Health and looking at four different sites where (CEED) could work,”

she said, noting those sites include Rexdale, northeast Scarborough, Flemingdon Park and the Danforth and Victoria Park area.

FoodShare (www.food-share.net), meanwhile, helps organizations bring food to communities by combining their buying power. Rather than having each organiza-tion make connections and buy goods, they can pool their resources and make bulk purchases from the Ontario Food Terminal, stretching those dollars further. Many other organi-zations are helping to keep vulnerable Torontonians fed, but they recognize their work is simply addressing the symptoms of poverty that leads to food insecurity.

Food is an essential pillar of city building.That’s the premise behind a recently released report

titled Food by Ward: Food Assets and Opportunities in Toronto.

The report, which took about a year to put together, was initially launched by the Toronto Food Policy Council (TFPC) as a way to engage with municipal candidates during the 2014 election on the topic of food security.

Now that the election is over, the TFPC is continuing to work with elected officials as well as community organizations and individuals to advocate for more food security programs and initiatives.

Using resources from Toronto Public Health, Food by Ward provides a snapshot of food assets across Toronto’s 44 municipal wards, said Rachel Gray, chair of the Toronto Food Policy Council, during a recent interview.

Gray, executive director of The Stop Community Food Centre in Bloor West, said the findings of Food by Ward can and should be used to help identify food priorities and come up with ways to improve the avail-ability of affordable, healthy food across the city.

She said the areas that tend to be lacking the most are the suburban, and often lower-income, parts of the city where people usually need a vehicle to go to the grocery store. The outer portions of the city are also often where marginalized individuals live, including those on fixed incomes, and newcomers.

However, food insecurity problems can be improved when people and organizations come together, Gray said.

A staged sit-in protest by the Toronto chapter of Black Lives Matter last Sunday at the Pride Parade certainly has people talking.

But are they talking for the right reasons? Given the status as an Honoured Group for the

parade, Black Lives Matter effectively halted the parade for half an hour as they issued a list of nine demands.

The annual parade that capped off Pride Month only began to move again once Pride Toronto executive director Mathieu Chantelois signed the document, seemingly agreeing to those demands, which included reinstating and committing to increase community stages as well as the removal

of police floats in Pride marches and parades.

The latter, not surprisingly, has been getting a lot of attention with Toronto Police Association president Mike McCormack con-demning Pride Toronto for sign-ing the paper and accusing Black Lives Matter of “hijacking” the

grand event Sunday. People on Twitter had plenty to say about it too,

many siding with police and recognizing their con-tributions over the years to support the growing Pride movement.

It seems counterproductive and counterintuitive to exclude police from a parade celebrating inclu-sivity, especially as some in the LGBT community also work in the police force.

While the protest brought both public and media attention to Black Lives Matter, the reasons for the protest were overshadowed by the tactics. People are talking about whether it was appropriate or justified to do what they did during the parade, rather than how events like Pride can be even more inclusive and welcoming to other marginalized communities.

Perhaps continuing the dialogue at the upcoming community meetings on anti-racism that the pro-vincial government is hosting this summer is a good place to start.

The first meeting is scheduled to take place in Toronto on July 14 with another in Scarborough on Sept. 13.

For effective change to occur, Black Lives Matter must first gain the public’s empathy and support for their cause.

OuR ViEW

Continue dialogue of inclusiveness

Group’s tactics overshadow issues at Pride Parade

Black Lives Matter parade protest not surprisingIt’s hard to know what to make of the Black Lives Matter – Toronto (BLMTO)/ Pride Toronto dust-up.

That, of course, won’t stop me from weighing in on the spectacle – even if it wasn’t really much of one.

To recap: Black Lives Matter – Toronto, a group that has seen great success staging discomfiting public protests, accepted an invita-tion from Pride Toronto (another group that has in the past seen great success staging discomfiting public protests) to be an “honoured guest” at this year’s Pride Parade.

And things went exactly as you’d expect: a discomfiting public protest, in the form of a disruption to the Pride Parade that was only able to resume once Pride Toronto had “agreed” to a list of demands from BLMTO.

Among those demands? No coppers please, at future Pride parades.

The pearl-clutching began. The Toronto Police Association demanded Pride

Toronto apologize for sign-ing off on the deal. Mayor John Tory, through his office, joined voices on Toronto council including local coun-cillor and longtime Pride supporter Kristyn Wong-Tam to make it clear that police should be welcomed at the parade for if nothing else than the purpose of keeping open lines of communica-tion between the LGBTQ2S community and the police.

And finally Pride Toronto’s executive director Mathieu Chantelois made it clear himself that signing a deal with BLMTO, while he was trying to simply get the parade moving, wasn’t going to be binding, and ultimately, Pride and the community would make the final decision. It would be an excellent bet that police will be back in the parade next year.

It’s tempting to look at all

this from the outside and dismiss it as silliness, or an “inside-baseball” dispute… tempting to see this as a bit of a nadir for Black Lives Matter, pulling a disruptive stunt at what was otherwise a healing event for a com-munity still processing the massacre in Orlando – all to extract promises that won’t be kept, and for the most part are over internal Pride matters that might have been dealt with as well using nothing more than a few stern emails.

That is, however, miss-ing the point of successful protest movements like Black Lives Matter, which are combatting not only very small issues, but very, very large ones.

A few days earlier, Metropolitan Community Church pastor and gay rights activist Brent Hawkes stood with police Chief Mark Saunders for what had been billed an historic apology by police for the bath house raids in the early 1980s that destroyed the lives of clos-

eted gay men, and ruined businesses.

An apology was a big thing, but also a small thing – and Hawkes spoke that day of how he had contacted the chief, and negotiated an apology, and that some-times, negotiation was necessary.

The only trouble? At the end of all that negotiation, Saunders did not in fact apologize; he very deliber-ately expressed “regrets” for police actions, and promised to do better – and really, with that, closed the matter as far as police were concerned.

It’s comforting to think that change can happen with comfortable negotia-tion. But the reality is that genuine change requires an irritant to motivate it. Black Lives Matters understands that, and so of course they showed up in full, irritating glory on Sunday.

Black Lives Matter – Toronto will be watching over the next year to see if Pride Toronto implements the nine demands to which organizers appeared to agree on Sunday afternoon — including a total ban of police presence at the annual Pride Parade.

“Now it’ll just be a matter of seeing how those demands are followed up,” said Black Lives Matter – Toronto spokes-person Leroi Newbold in an interview Monday.

One of the more controver-sial demands is one that asks police not be present at the parade. Newbold clarified that Black Lives Matter not only wanted police to not partici-

pate in the parade, but also not to police it, leaving security to Pride organizers.

“We are asking Pride to take a look at what it means for black communities to have a police presence at Pride,” said Newbold. “For example there are many black LGBT youth who’ve had interactions with police. I think it’s important for some people to under-

stand that even the presence of police at an event like this creates an unsafe environ-ment.”.

Early indications are that that and the other eight demands won’t necessarily be implemented by the Pride Committee. In an interview with The Toronto Star, Pride Toronto’s Executive Director Mathieu Chantelois said that although he signed an agree-ment to cede to the demands, the next course of action will be decided by Pride’s mem-bership and the community.

“What’s important for people to know is that I’m not deciding what’s in the parade, Alica (Hall, co-chair of Pride’s board of directors) doesn’t decide what’s in the parade, Black Lives Matter doesn’t… decide what’s in the parade,” he said. “Who’s deciding what’s in the parade is the membership, and my community… We will let them have the final word. What I did (Sunday) was made the parade move.”

The Pride Parade was brought to a standstill when members of Black Lives Matter – Toronto (which had been invited as an honoured guest) stopped in their tracks at Yonge and College streets, backing up other parade floats behind them, and demanded immediate action on a set of nine demands.

Chantelois met with them at the parade and signed the

nine demands. Newbold said the group is taking the com-mitment seriously, but noted that the issues that the black queer community has had with Pride are longstanding.

“We did get a sign off so we’ll continue,” Newbold said. “This isn’t the beginning of the black community’s resistance, we’ve been having these conversa-tions for years. They may not have been getting the media attention but we’ve been having them for years.”

Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam was conciliatory July 4 and defended Black Lives Matter – Toronto’s decision to protest in the context of the larger tradition of protest that is at the heart of Pride.

“That’s a very appropri-ate place for political dissent

and political messaging,” said Wong-Tam. “Nobody should take that away from Black Lives Matter. Pride is not just about beer gardens and $10 corn on the cob. It’s much more. Our community is only ever stron-ger when we come together. It is important to continue the conversation. There are racial-ized and vulnerable people in our community that don’t always feel welcome.”

With that said, Wong-Tam said she doesn’t agree with asking police to stay away from the parade.

“If the police aren’t there they get criticized for not being there, and now that the police are there, singing and dancing in the street, they’re criticized for participating,” said Wong-Tam.

A Roncesvalles Village shoe-maker who creates footwear for stage and screen; a retro-spective of Sunnyside Beach and Amusement Park; and the notorious Alonzo Boyd Gang, whose criminal record boasts bank robberies, jail breaks and gun fights are just a few examples of the topics secondary school students delved into as part of the not-for-profit Back Lane Studios’ CityShorts program.

As part of the filmmak-ing pilot project, Grade 12 students were tasked with creating three-minute doc-umentaries that focused on a particular aspect of Roncesvalles Village. The CityShorts program is now expanding to offer week-long documentary filmmaking

workshops for youth ages 11 to 14 this summer.

The first five-day workshop already started with more planned. It costs $150 plus HST to participate.

Each workshop will be able

to accommodate two film crews of six – so those inter-ested are encouraged to regis-ter as soon as possible because spaces are limited, facilitator Jeana McCabe said.

“We’re going to provide a

Black Lane Studio’s program teaches students filmmakingvariety of topics, all local sto-ries. We’ve done the prelimi-nary research and will provide general information. They can pick the one they want to do,” McCabe explained.

The workshops will teach visual storytelling, camera techniques and sound and editing.

For example, if the topic is the condo boom in Roncesvalles and the sur-rounding neighbourhood, the film crew would work to determine what exactly the story is before heading out to shoot lots of photographs of new residential develop-ments, McCabe said.

Local filmmakers will be

paired with workshop partici-pants to mentor them as they create their short films. These experts include McCabe, a veteran educator, filmmaker and producer, who has pro-duced more than 150 social justice documentaries with her students, designed and implemented new media curriculum and founded the Just Docs Festival; and Jordan McTavish, who has developed and produced more than 90 short format productions for film festivals, TV and the web.

“The goal is to expand into other neighbourhoods,” McCabe said. “We’re going to look at Parkdale in the fall.”

Currently, Back Lane Studios is working with Humberside Collegiate Institute’s after-school film club. Students are in the midst of creating short films for the school’s 125th anniversary in 2017.

“Their focus is their archives. They’re interviewing former teachers and students from 20, to 30, to 40 years ago,” McCabe said.

Back Lane Studios is cur-rently relying on grant money to fund its initiatives, but is looking for funding partner-

Councillor Sarah Doucette told constituents in her weekly e-newsletter follow-ing the June 23 committee meeting.

Once reviewed, the report will go back to the commit-tee in September, followed by a vote by Toronto City Council at its meeting in October.

“Based on feedback from residents, and working with the Ward 11 councillor and others who have had shel-ters open in their wards, I put forward a number of initiatives and strategies to strengthen community sup-ports in the local area,” the Ward 13 councillor said.

Both Doucette and col-league York South-Weston Councillor Frances Nunziata put forth complementary motions – which passed unanimously – to address c o m m u n i t y c o n c e r n s regarding the proposal. D o u c e t t e ’ s m o t i o n includes:

• the creation of a com-munity liaison committee comprised of representa-tives from both wards 11 and 13, local residents, agency staff, clients, councillors and city staff that would work on the shelter’s establishment in its new location and to “refine” the shelter service program;

• a third party expert to

work with staff and the com-munity liaison committee to design the exterior of the shelter to ensure that it’s functional and attractive;

• and a ‘Safe Growth’ plan for the York-Weston-Junction area to address issues of safety and security, a ‘community response’ plan that outlines standards for responding to neighbours’ concerns and to conduct a safety audit of Runnymede Park.

Nunziata’s motion directs city staff to “work with coun-

cillors, the local community and other stakeholders to develop a plan for a shelter program that will meet the needs of an appropriate number of homeless men at 731 Runnymede Rd. and make a positive contribution to the neighbouring com-munity.”

Neither councillor is a member of the committee; however, both attended the meeting to hear the depu-tations and to participate in the debate. To find out more, visit www.ward13.ca

Councillors’ motions to help ease community’s concerns

Dan Pearce/MetrolanDLast month, Ward 11 residents attended a community meet-ing regarding a proposed men’s shelter for the St. Clair and Runnymede area. Consultations will continue throughout the summer.

Toronto’s Board of Health has unanimously recommended approving three safe injection

sites in communities around Toronto following deputations that showed near unanimity among neighbours, advocates and addicts.

If approved by Toronto

Council when it meets July 12, sites where IV drug users can inject under medical supervi-sion will be slated for:

• the Queen West Central Community Health Centre at

Board of health unanimously backs three safe injection sitesQueen St. West and Bathurst Street;

• the South Riverdale Community Health Centre in Leslieville at Queen Street East and Carlaw Avenue;

• and at a city-run facility at Yonge and Dundas streets.

The plan to create the sites has been in the works since 2013, and its completion would be one of outgoing

Medical Officer of Health Dr. David McKeown’s final accomplishments.

Following the board vote on Monday, Dr. McKeown said evidence is clear supervised injection sites save lives.

“Supervised injection sites around the world never have deaths. If no one is there to intervene then the overdose may take its course and

the outcome may be fatal. However, if someone is there to intervene who’s trained we may be able to prevent that death,” he said.

Dr. McKeown and others noted the lack of opposition to all three sites – unusual, given the controversy surrounding similar municipal initiatives, such as the opening of shelters in neighbourhoods.

for more than $20,000.“It would be awesome if this

piece could generate money to support and help those minori-ties in the States that need it the most, and if it could spark a dialogue,” Mitic said.

The visual artist is perhaps best known for his controver-sial approach to art. He uses firearms in the creation of his work, a skill he acquired

during national service in his native Serbia. Mitic fires live ammunition at images he’s painted of such celebrities and iconic personalities, like John Lennon, Quentin Tarantino, and Jesus. His bullet-ridden paintings have been said to ‘offer an acerbic commentary on society’s attitudes towards guns, violence, and obsession with fame.’ Initially, Spectral Confederation, completed last

year, was done in response to the Charleston church shoot-ings in South Carolina.

“But, like much of my work, I like to appropriate the compo-sition from other sources and contribute discussion revolved around the destruction of art,” Mitic said. “The Confederate flag is an interesting symbol – it contains the duality of freedom and oppression depending on which southern American group you talk to. It’s always interesting to find such black and white opinions on any given symbol or motif.”

Mitic said he also wanted to transform a symbol of hate into something else – by com-bining the LGBT colours into the flag, it indicates that the LGBT community is part of the south.

Reaching out to some LGBT groups in the U.S., Mitic said they directed him to Equality Florida, an organization that secures “equality and justice for Florida’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community” which is in the midst of a crowdfunding cam-

paign to raise money for the victims of the mass shooting.

Since June 12, the campaign has raised almost $7 million of its $10-million goal.

All proceeds from the sale of Spectral Confederation will go towards the campaign.

Born in Belgrade, the Serbian capital, Mitic attended art schools in Europe in his teens and early 20s before moving to Canada where he studied art and art history at

the University of Toronto. “I think I always knew that

this would be the only thing I could be doing,” he said of his full-time art career. “It’s some-what of an addiction. Once you find yourself entrenched in art and producing work, it’s very difficult to let go.”

Mitic uses lots of symbols in his work, pop icons, religious ideologies, and previous works of art.

“The gun itself is a symbol

too, a symbol for power. They are represented everywhere in popular culture,” he said. “I want to explore the con-cept between beauty and violence.”

Controversial Canadian artist Viktor Mitic, a Junction resident, is donating all the proceeds from the sale of his latest work to help the victims of the recent mass shooting at a night club in Orlando, Florida. The piece, 'Spectral Confederation', has been appraised at more than $20,000.
