St. Crispin’s Day Care is back and wants to celebrate with the com-munity.

The non-profit facility, established by members of the Craiglee Drive church in 1977, was homeless for a few months this year after Toronto’s Anglican diocese put the church up for sale.

St. Crispin’s re-opened in May, however, and hosts a community

fall festival at its new location in Highway Gospel Church, 530 Midland Ave., next Saturday, Oct. 13, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Work on the higher concept to shape the Rouge Valley into a national urban “people’s park” continues, while politicians squabble over patches of land in the park and around it.

This month, Toronto residents can join the discussions at both levels if they wish.

Parks Canada, having committed cash for the Rouge and launched a public consultation process on what their experimental federal park should be has extended a public consultation on it until Monday Oct. 8.

People on the agency’s website (www.parkscanada.gc.ca/Rouge) can read a 20-page document explaining how the new park can “connect people to nature and his-

tory” and fill out a survey, as nearly 2,000 have, Pam Veinotte, the park’s first superintendent, said.

Settling into the job since mid-July, and now searching for a tempo-rary office near the park, Veinotte has also brought the outreach campaign to area groups and festivals, where she said responses were positive.

“People are extremely interested,” said Veinotte, formerly a superin-tendent at Banff, Canada’s oldest national park.

“They want to be involved and they want to stay involved.”

Dave Harvey of Park People, a group trying to improve Toronto’s green spaces, is a fan of the pro-cess and said he believes the Rouge NUP will be one of Greater Toronto’s greatest green assets one day.

MIKE ADLER [email protected]

Nearly two weeks after he appealed publicly for government and police protection, a Scarborough man said he’s not aware of any steps taken by authorities to keep him safe.

Egypt has published an arrest warrant for Egyptian-born Nader Fawzy, naming him, along with several other U.S. and Canadian citizens, as a producer or distributor of an anti-Muslim film, Innocence of Muslims.

On Oct. 21, Fawzy said this week, a trial will be held at which he is “99 per cent sure” he will be sentenced to death.

Fawzy denies any involvement with the film but said he’s convinced he and the other men were named because they are Coptic Christian activists Egypt’s government wants to “shut up.”

In an interview last Friday, Fawzy said he believes he’s being targetted because of his involvement with the Middle East Christian Association, a group he founded in 2004, and his efforts to expose the ill-treatment of Egypt’s Christian minority.

“Now it’s time to take their revenge on me,” he said.

The online posting of Innocence of Muslims and its depiction of the Prophet Mohammed has triggered riots in several countries in which dozens have died.

Though the charge of insulting religion carries a three-year penalty in Egypt, Fawzy said a government-controlled newspaper which pub-lished the arrest warrants said the death penalty would be sought against him.

Religious edicts have also been issued against Fawzy and another Canadian, Jacques Attalla of Montreal, calling on Muslims to put them to death.

Fawzy said the Egyptian govern-ment doesn’t have the resources to find the film’s real producers and said he doesn’t know Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the Californian man, also a Copt, whom media reports say is connected with the film. “He never was an activist,” Fawzy said.

Saying he feared for himself and his family, Fawzy appealed for protection through Scarborough-Agincourt MP Jim Karygiannis, who last Saturday staged a press

event across from Toronto Police 42 Division in Scarborough.

Police there promised him extra protection, Fawzy said, though “I never saw it.”

Karygiannis asked the federal government to act and said he was shocked by Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird’s comment he would work privately with the Egyptian government to resolve the issue.

The Liberal MP accused the fed-eral Conservatives of trying to sweep the matter “under the rug” instead of persuading Egypt to remove Fawzy’s name from the list of men accused of responsibility for the film.

Saying he is still watching the situ-ation, Karygiannis sounded more hopeful but guarded this week about the Conservative government’s response, saying “movement has taken place” in the right direction.

Fawzy, however, said no federal representative except Karygiannis has ever tried to contact him.

“Maybe they did something but they didn’t inform me,” he said, adding the U.S. men on the list have been moved to “safe houses.”

Fawzy said he has not asked for this measure on his behalf - “I ask for

protection. They should decide what they have to do,” he said - but noted this left only Attalla and himself as “clear targets” for harm.

Attalla this week was removed from the list of men wanted in Egypt for the film, a change Attalla said he can’t explain, Fawzy said.

The Scarborough man, mean-while, has been unsuccessful at hiring an Egyptian lawyer to rep-resent him - several have refused his case, he said - while his request to the Canadian government for a lawyer has not been answered.

It is the second time Egypt has issued a warrant for the arrest of Fawzy, who left Egypt 26 years ago and now holds Swedish and Canadian citizenship.

Five years ago, he published a book, The Persecutions, a history of the Copts in Egypt, and was accused of damaging Egypt’s reputation.

“They always deny they do any-thing wrong to the Copts. I expose all their lies,” he said.

That time, however, Fawzy wasn’t worried because there was no fatwa against him. “It was just an issue between me and the gov-ernment.”

Innocence of Muslims, an incendiary anti-Muslim video which sparked deadly riots when it was posted last month, will be discussed – but not shown – by media experts at University of Toronto Scarborough next week.

A panel including Media Studies Prof. Ruyoun Bail, Jeffrey Dvokin, director of the joint UTSC-Centennial journalism program, and Canadian Arab Institute President Raja Khouri speak about the U.S.-produced video, “and its implica-tions for media, journalism, and contemporary culture within the context of globalization,” a release said last week.

A 12-minute “trailer” of Innocence of Muslims is blocked on YouTube in some countries but not in Canada.

The discussion, part of a Media Studies series film and speaker series, will begin at 5:30 p.m. next Tuesday, Oct. 9 in Room 112 of the Arts and Administration Building at UTSC. The public is welcome but UTSC said registration online is recommended at http://mds2-utsc.eventbrite.ca

Readers react to special report on rude ridersTo the editor:Re: ‘Transit users speak out against bad behaviour,’ Special Report, Sept. 27.

I read the article by Rahul Gupta; I could not believe the comments made by TTC chief cus-tomer service officer Chris Upfold.

“Rudeness is not some-thing that catches my attention as being high.”

Another statement by Upfold was that riders should alter their travel patterns and the times they travel in order to reduce potential disputes.

I could go on and on. The message sent by Upfold was rudeness and disre-spect for others wins.

Values, respect, manners and etiquette are instilled into us at an early age with maturity bringing that for-ward to our later years.

Once again the TTC has exposed itself to show us how deep their problems lie. The TTC biggest hurdle is the TTC.

Ray Blais

n OnlineOn our @TOinTransit

Twitter account we received a number of responses to our coverage on rude riders on the TTC. Below is a sampling of some of the Tweets we received. To get in on conversation visit us @TOinTransit

@commutersunited: It’s time to start a subway etiquette rule!

@micahbarnes: why have we Toronto people become so deeply selfish and rude while in public spaces like the TTC?

@MonicaAraujo33: Reading the paper I came across “tran-sit riders complain about the rude ride on the TTC courtesy of other passengers” couldn’t agree more.

@RachieB13 Dear annoying rude loud girl on the phone while on the bus. Shut up!! #TTC is not the place for your nails on a chalkboard laugh. #annoying

@elizabethmunro: It ’s astounding how rude people are to TTC workers.

Toronto councillor Josh Matlow is right when he says it’s “vital” that the city has an honest con-versation about how to fund transit expansion

for the TTC.Matlow, the councillor for St. Paul’s, made the

comments in response to the release of a report by Toronto’s city manager Joe Pennachetti providing a list of transit funding options for local councillors to con-sider. The options provided by Pennachetti, including road tolls, parking fees and increased property taxes, are not new.

We agree an honest conversation must be held on Toronto’s transit funding. Where we differ with Matlow is on who should be having that conversa-tion.

It’s certainly not our politi-cians.

At the city level, the battles between councillors have made transit planning unproductive at best. Meanwhile, Toronto’s executive commit-tee will discuss Pennachetti’s report at this month’s meeting. Though Matlow may wish it so, we have our doubts that will achieve anything.

Higher levels of government are facing huge financial challenges and are limited in what they will commit to Toronto for transit.

The provincially run Metrolinx, which is charged with finding funding for transit across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), does not even have to present its plan on where the money’s coming from to the provincial government until next June.

All discussion will come to the same place. The pri-vate sector is not riding in on a white horse to save the day. Taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill.

We need to clearly tell our elected representatives what it is we want when it comes to public transporta-tion not just in Toronto but surrounding areas, and we have to let them know what we are prepared to pay for it.

Along with the road tolls, parking fees, vehicle reg-istration tax proposals, Pennachetti also offered ideas including a personal income tax hike of one per cent, a property tax hike, a payroll tax, a fuel tax, a parking levy, a Land Transfer Tax hike, and a development charge fee.

The more time we spend trying to not raise taxes, the more difficult it will be to plan and pay for an infrastructure that is imperative to the future well-being of the city.

We have often written about the imbalance between business tax and property tax in this city, and the light property tax load of Toronto compared to surrounding municipalities. Toronto residents may have to face the reality of what you pay for – or don’t – you get.

City will get the transit it pays for

our VieWTaxpayers must weigh in on what they want

In the late 1940s a new road opened in Toronto called the Clifton Road

Extension and connected St. Clair Avenue East and Jarvis Street.

The road was thought nec-essary due to increasing car traffic from the suburbs north of St. Clair Avenue.

It took roughly 10 years from approval to final open-ing and there was controversy as it called for the demolition of homes in established com-munities. On May 17, 1950 it was opened, and called Mount Pleasant Road, considered Toronto’s first expressway.

What is important is not just the impact the new road had on the area north of St. Clair Avenue, but what hap-pened to Jarvis Street – once one of the city’s most beauti-ful streets, developed specifi-cally for the rich.

Many of the city’s most notable institutions and architecture was found there including Jarvis Collegiate Institute and Allan Gardens. In 1947 the stately trees that

lined the street were cut down, and it was widened for a new fifth lane to facilitate traffic from Mount Pleasant Road, which soon flowed in such high volume that many of the old homes and mansions were torn down to make way for commercial buildings and high-rise apartments.

Many of the older build-ings were turned into room-ing houses and then simply decayed.

By the 1970s the street was a text book example of how heavy traffic flow nega-tively impacts street life. The sidewalks were abandoned to drug addicts and prosti-tutes.

However, thanks to the intervention of urban plan-ners and theorists, such

as Jane Jacobs and David Crombie, downtown of Toronto came to be saved from the “empty doughnut-hole” fate of many American cities. Starting with decisions made in 2008, Jarvis was slated for re-development to make the streetscape people-friendly.

However, the current regime at city hall has decided to return Jarvis Street to its 1950s form by eliminating the new bike lanes and re-instating the fifth traffic lane at an estimated cost of up to $300,000. The rationale being that drivers are delayed get-ting from Mount Pleasant due to the bike lanes.

It seems that Mayor Rob Ford and his supporters would rather spend tax dollars to keep a 60-year-old plan-ning mistake in place than embrace new urban policies proven to build strong com-munities.

Metroland Media Group’s Metroland Central division now stretches all the way to North Bay, under the direction of Toronto Community News publisher and Metroland vice president Ian Proudfoot.

The division, previously com-prised of Toronto Community News and York Region Media Group, now reaches a readership of more than 900,000 homes on a weekly basis, stretching from the heart of the city in Toronto to North Bay in Ontario’s Near North, now incorporating Simcoe/Muskoka division proper-ties. The expansion offers exciting new opportunities and relationships for readers, clients, community part-ners and the more than 800 talented employees in Metroland Central, Proudfoot said.

Acknowledged as a passionate advocate of the newspaper industry, both print and online, Proudfoot now is publisher of more than 50 print and online products. “Removing bor-ders has created exceptional oppor-tunities for our clients to extend their reach,” Proudfoot said.

In announcing the expanded divi-

sion, effective Oct. 1, Metroland president Ian Oliver paid tribute to retiring vice-president and Simcoe/Muskoka regional publisher Joe Anderson. “Joe’s creativity, drive and strategic focus have made him a significant contributor to Metroland.”

Proudfoot led the creation of the Metroland Central division in May, adding Toronto Community News to his York Region Media Group, upon the retirement of TCN publisher Betty Carr. Metroland’s Toronto, York Region, Simcoe, Muskoka, Parry Sound and North Bay media prop-erties have a tradition of creating strong community partnerships and supporting non-profi t organizations, through volunteering, donations and services. Proudfoot’s longtime com-mitment and outstanding contribu-tion to community was recognized with a 2011 Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship. He is quick to acknowl-edge the contributions and talents of his employees. “I’m honoured to work with people who have true passion for their communities and what they do on a daily basis.”

Police have charged two men in the murder of rapper Anthony Spencer inside a Scarborough recording studio in January.

Both men, who are in jail on other charges, were arrested and charged Monday.

A Canada Wide warrant has been issued for a woman who was in the company of the two men charged.

Samuel Paul, 23, of Toronto, has been charged with first degree murder and weap-ons offences.

Chever Ashley, 22, of Toronto, is facing a charge of accessory after the fact to murder and numerous weapons offences.

A woman who police have referred to as an unknown female has been identified as LaPrincia Palmer, 19, of Toronto.

A warrant has been issued for her arrest on robbery while armed with a firearm and attempting to obstruct justice charges.

Spencer, 23, was shot inside the Brimley Road and Lawrence Avenue recording studio Jan. 21.

His body was then wrapped and placed in the back of a car by his friends and dropped off at The Scarborough Hospital, General division on McCowan Road.

Police said at a press conference Tuesday, Oct. 2, that Spencer and his friends had been robbed inside the recording studio.

Police have previously said security camera footage from a nearby business captured two men and a woman exiting a taxi and walking down the stairs into the basement recording studio at 12:42 a.m.

At 1:44 a.m., the woman, who police have identified as Palmer, was seen walking up the stairs to use her cell phone before returning to the studio. Just before 2:30 a.m., Palmer is

again seeing exiting the studio and standing at the top of the steps.

Around 4:30 a.m., Palmer made a call to a taxi company to order a car to a nearby convenience store.

Before the taxi dispatcher speaks to her, a single gunshot is heard in an audio recording of the call. Palmer, Ashley and Paul then left in a taxi.

Police have said the investigation was met with hurdles as Spencer’s friends, who were inside the studio when he was shot, refused to name the gunman.

Anyone with information on the murder is asked to contact Det. Sgt. Gary Giroux at 416−808−7387 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416−222−8477.

A nurse has brought together health care practitioners in an effort to improve services for ambulatory care patients.

Denyse Henry, a Scarborough resident and patient care manager at Sunnybrook hospital, established the Canadian Association of Ambulatory Care in March.

Recently, the organization held its first conference in Scarborough. About 150 health care practitioners attended.

Ambulatory care is when medical treatment is delivered on an out-patient basis, meaning the patient doesn’t stay in a hospital overnight.

“We all know that services in ambu-latory care settings has now become the preferred standard for care. It is primarily driven by advances in research and practices,” Henry told conference attendees.

“Providing services on an ambula-tory basis when indicated is better both physically and emotionally for our patients, and of course it is also more cost effective on the healthcare system.”

Henry said she established the CAAC to “bring a stronger voice

to ambulatory patient care.”

Keynote speaker Dr. Jocelyn Charles stressed healthcare providers need to communicate with each other to ensure patients’ information is transmit-ted effectively from one provider to another.

“As we move more and more care out to the ambulatory care setting, patients move from clinic to clinic, and if those clin-ics don’t co-ordinate with each other and talk to each other, patients can slip through the cracks,” she said in an interview. “There’s no standard of what needs to be commu-nicated and the timeliness of that communication, so we need to develop that.”

Sunnybrook hospital recently established an

e-discharge program where a summary of what hap-pened in hospital, includ-ing medication changes, is sent to the patient’s family physician right after dis-charge.

“That’s an improvement over the traditional way which is the physician discharging the patient dictates a summary letter that gets typed and then sent to the family doctor,” Charles said.

“So I can receive a discharge summary any-where from the same day to six months later. And if a patient needs care, that needs to be done in a timely manner. I believe it should be done within the first 24 or 48 hours.”

The conference was held at the Delta Toronto East hotel on Kennedy Road.

Scarborough Walk of Fame inductee Jamaal Magloire, the only Canadian to suit up for the National Basketball Association’s Toronto Raptors, has been signed on for another campaign with the team.

Magloire, who attended Wexford Collegiate in Scarborough for Grades 9 a n d 1 0 a n d t h e n transferred to Eastern Commerce in east Toronto in Grade 11 to play for the perennial powerhouse Saints, is with the Raptors in Halifax for their train-ing camp which runs Oct. 2 to 6.

EXHIBITION TILT

Their first exhibition game is Monday, Oct. 8 at the Air Canada Centre against Spain’s Real Madrid.

T h e 3 4 - y e a r - o l d Magloire was an inau-gural 2006 inductee into

Scarborough’s Walk of Fame.

In last year’s walkout-shortened season, he averaged 1.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 11 minutes in 34 appearances with the Raptors

680 GAMES

His career average is 7.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 21.9 minutes in 680 regular season outings over 12 years.

His best statistical campaign came in the 2003-04 season with New Orleans Hornets when he was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team.

He averaged 13.6 points, 10.3 rebounds and 33.9 minutes in 82 games – one of only 11 players that season to average a double-double.

Friday Night Lightshigh school footballat Birchmount Stadium NORM NELSON [email protected]

The Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend will kick off in Scarborough with a Friday Night Lights high school football game at a very busy Birchmount Stadium.

The stadium is quite busy tomor-row with nearby Malvern Collegiate from the Beaches holding its fourth annual sports day.

But the night will feature an all-Scarborough football showdown, beginning at 7 p.m.

SEASON OPENERS

Facing each other, in the season opener for both teams, will be a combined team from Bendale Business and Technical Institute and Winston Churchill Institute against crosstown rival Scarborough Academy for Technological, Environmental and Computer Education (SATEC) located at W.A. Porter Collegiate Institute.

Both teams are part of the

TDSB’s varsity development league, designed to allow high schools to ease into competitive football.

Scarborough teams playing senior football this fall include (along with their records, where applicable):

SENIOR TIER ONE: Sir Wilfrid Laurier (2-0), Birchmount Park (2-0) and Sir John A Macdonald (0-1);

SENIOR TIER TWO: Agincourt (1-0) and David and Mary Thomson (1-0);

VARSITY DEVELOPMENT : Bendale/Churchill; [email protected]. Porter; and Sir Robert Borden;

J U N I O R : S i r J o h n A Macdonald.

TORONTO CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD: Only one Scarborough Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) high school is fi elding a football team this fall, and that’s Mother Teresa, in the senior division.

TCDSB football teams are playing amongst themselves this year, and not interlocking with the TDSB as they have done in recent years.

You won’t find it too difficult locating Ben MacLean.

Just look for the tall guy.MacLean stands near the

seven foot mark, which makes him just the kind of towering guy you might want to take along to pick some apples at this time of the year.

And on Halloween, when he plays his first volleyball game for Toronto’s George Brown College, there will likely be more tricking than treating from this Scarborough native.

But the 19 year old, who tips the scales at about 290 pounds, has more in mind these days.

He is determined to expand on the volleyball knowledge he gained a few years ago as a student at Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate. And George Brown might be just the place.

Volleyball Canada picked the College as Toronto’s only post-secondary school to house a Centre for Excellence.

The master plan for the National Sport Organization is to post various centres across the country and try to fix Canada’s slumbering status against world com-petition.

In other words, build the country’s future international stars.

Not so sure MacLean wants

to be part of that initiative just yet – but it is tempting and he has lots of work ahead of him.

Not so sure he’s accus-tomed to the volleyball jargon and his interpreta-tion of the term “crepe” might be different from what is it: when a player digs the ball by extending his leg with the

foot flat on the floor, letting the ball bounce off the top of the foot.

Even some slang volleyball terms could prompt a strange glance from MacLean.

Not advisable calling out “Stuff Turkey” and looking at him.

The term is used to describe a stuff block. That’s when the volleyball hits the floor of the opposing team before the blocker does. When that happens, a player is said to have had his turkey stuffed.

MacLean has tried basket-ball and while he may have the height, he does admit his lack of speed running down the court is an issue. He also took a pass on baseball and hockey, sports he played as a youngster.

But when his career interests leaned towards a different kind of energy, and working with systems that would benefit the environ-ment, MacLean decided on a two-year diploma program studying heating, refrigera-tion and air conditioning at the College’s Castle Loma campus.

Aware of his physical prominence and the need to try get in some daily exercise, MacLean signed on for a chance to play with the Huskies volleyball team that competes in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association.

Looking for statistics, MacLean is not concerned right now about his quota of digs, kills or aces.

“I’m still learning the game – but I also won’t be this tall guy standing around and watching,” he said. “When it gets down to playing sports, I know you have to think about doing what’s best for your team. Every day I am learning something new and opposing teams will know when I am playing.”

While he may still lack cer-tain fundamentals, MacLean has plenty of determination and is out to elevate his game.

“Just learned the sport a few years ago – in high school,” he said. “I think my size could be a huge advantage and there’s also less running around.”

MacLean is an inquisi-

tive kind of person, eager for knowledge and finding a career. He’s tried baking pas-tries on a high school co-op and also found servicing gas fireplaces to be intriguing.

When others get a glimpse of the towering MacLean on the competitive court, they tend to look twice and then contemplate how to find a way to beat him. When he combines his giant size with power and hitting the vol-leyball, look out.

George Brown coach Josh Nichol might need some time to decipher if MacLean’s com-bination of touch and instinc-tive improvisation will pay off in the months to come.

MacLean also knows George Brown missed out on a spot in the OCAA playoffs last year and while his being in the lineup is no assurance of a league championship – he sees it as more than a few hours of fun.

“I am beginning to enjoy (volleyball) a great deal and my height helps – especially once I get my hands high in the air to block a shot,” he added.

Oh, goody. The October meeting of Mayor Rob Ford’s executive com-mittee will have a familiar treat:

a jolly long talk about how the city might fund major transit expansion projects in the future.

It is familiar indeed. From Mel Lastman to David Miller to Rob Ford, the dream of big transit projects has fueled both rhetoric and design like no other project except maybe property tax increases.

In that sense, the conversation starting this month and going into next spring will be a little stilted, and might not go any-where.

That’s because the report from City Manager Joe Pennachetti frames the question at the nexus of those ideas: namely, how to finance big transit expan-sion, whatever that may be, using among other things, big whopping property tax increases.

moving targe

The report is something Toronto Council asked for, mostly in response to Mayor Ford’s moving target plan to build a Sheppard subway into Scarborough using private sector money and a growing amount of federal and provincial grants.

In shutting down the subway dream, council in its wisdom decided to look at ways of financing transit absent either the private sector or nominal help from higher orders of government.

It is a sensible thing to do: an “adult” conversation that determines what exactly Torontonians are willing to pay for in the way of public transit, which is to say, how much Torontonians are willing to pay.

The report looks at hiking the land trans-fer tax by a percentage point, reinstating a $100 vehicle registration tax, imposing road tolls on highways, and a one per cent property tax hike.

In the same agenda, the city manager is setting up a plan to devise a transit plan itself based upon a review of the city’s

Official Plan. Once again, it is a sober and sensible

approach to transit planning — two ele-ments lacking in both Mayor Ford’s subway dream, and the bus-token-in-every-pocket approach that TTC Chair Karen Stintz came up with in the spring with the frenetically gerrymandering One City transit expansion plan.

Seems dull and sensible and prosaic, yes?

pipe dream

Well, there is still an element of pipe dream to it all. Because even as Toronto Council is considering these plans, so too is Metrolinx, the provincial government’s go-to agency when it comes to financing new transit.

Metrolinx also is looking at ways to finance its own transit expansion plans – plans which encompass the entire Golden Horseshoe.

Meanwhile, there is an emerging con-sensus that what Toronto really needs is a downtown relief subway line — the least regionally beneficial transit expansion imaginable.

The question becomes: if roads do get tolled in Toronto, just whose projects will that money go toward?

And so it goes: the conversation on tran-sit will go on, with no end in sight.

– a visitor’s centre and three other “discovery hubs” are proposed there – Harvey said the agency faces a challenge in reaching the millions of Greater Toronto residents it hopes will visit.

“It’s a fairly unknown park across the city,” he said.When Veinotte presented Park People with the concept

last month, said Harvey, some group members felt the ecology of the Rouge River watershed was not being given overreaching importance or that “everything possible” would be done to maintain the health of its animal and plant life.

Veinotte said the Rouge NUP requires a different approach to conservation from other national parks, and that those standards, along with details on the boundaries of the 14,000-acre park and how to manage it, will be part of a strategic plan Parks Canada will work to draft this winter.

But she suggested Parks Canada won’t be lax in pro-tecting the environment of the Rouge, even as it tries to increase the number of park visitors.

“We’re very committed to the health of the park from an ecological standpoint.”

The proposed main visitor centre, she added, would serve as a window for visitors on Canada’s national and marine parks, teaching them to value nature and protected places.

“We want to foster that stewardship and volunteer-ism.”

Veinotte said federal Environment Minister Peter Kent will soon appoint an advisory council for the park, which was run until this August by a co-operative of groups and governments called the Rouge Alliance.

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has assumed interim control of the park and its six former staff members, she said. “We don’t want all the good work that now goes on in the Rouge Park to stop.”

For now, however, Ontario’s Liberal government, which owns most of the park’s land through the TRCA, has not dropped its demand that the federal government should pay the province to hand it over.

Adam Sweet, Kent’s press secretary, was asked whether the dispute would affect the minister’s prediction in June that an agreement transferring park lands to the federal government will be signed this fall.

Sweet said talks and consultations with all major landholders in the park continue.

“We are working towards a transfer agreement as expeditiously as possible,” he added this week.

The City of Toronto must change its Official Plan before transferring parcels it owns in the park.

When a public meeting about this is held, at 7 p.m. on Oct. 15 at the Scarborough Civic Centre, Scarborough-Rouge River Councillor Raymond Cho said he would make a case to keep 17 acres on the park’s western boundary in city hands.

The city spent $17 million in 2007 to buy the land, north of Finch Avenue between the Rouge and its Morningside Creek tributary, from a developer with permission to

build a subdivision on it. Toronto Council, nearly split on the Village Securities purchase, specified the land was to remain a natural buffer for the park, but Cho said it may still be possible one day to build a community centre or sports fields there for his Morningside Heights neighbourhood. “If we hand it over it’s going to be federal land. Personally I’d like that piece of land to stay with the city.” he said Monday.

Surrounded by the park but not expected to be transferred to it is the former Baere Road Landfill site, a city landfill until 1983 but now partly planted with trees. The nearly 200 acres

are currently “not accessible to the public” but a ski hill and a mountain biking course have been suggested for it in the past. The city says residents who attend a meeting on the Baere Road Master Plan, Oct. 11 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Blessed Mother Teresa Catholic High School on Sewells Road, can help deter-mine what is done with the land and receive an update on the Rouge NUP process.

The Toronto Zoo, owned by the TRCA and considered for years as nominally part of Rouge Park, is also being left out of plans for Rouge NUP.

Runn 4 Dunn at Joseph howe RUNNING FOR TERRY AND JESSICA: Students from William G. Davis Junior Public School teamed up with Joseph Howe Senior Public School for the school’s annual Terry Fox Run last Friday afternoon. This year’s run was unique because it was also a run for fellow school mate Jessica Dunn. The Grade 8 student was diagnosed in July with osteosarcoma of the femur – the same type of cancer Terry Fox had. In August she began cancer treatment and chemotherapy. Students were encouraged to wear blue, which is Dunn’s favourite colour and show their support for her in the The Runn 4 Dunn event.

Transit

RAHUL GUPTA [email protected]

Metrolinx and the TTC will work together after all to run four light rail transit lines in Toronto.

Accompanied by Ontario Minister of Transportation Bob Chiarelli, representatives from both transit agencies held a joint press confer-ence at TTC headquarters yester-day announcing an agreement in principle has been reached for the operation of the LRT lines, the first of which is scheduled to open in 2020.

Under the terms of the agree-ment, the TTC will be responsible for operating the transit lines – Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown, Finch, Sheppard and Scarborough – leaving all design, construction and maintenance work to the private sector.

Metrolinx also agreed to let the TTC co-ordinate operation of the lines through its Hillcrest control facility, a crucial factor in the agree-ment, said TTC CEO Andy Byford.

“It was very important to make sure we got the operations, safety

and customer service elements right and Bruce (McCuaig, Metrolinx CEO) and I have worked very hard on a framework that can deliver that aspiration,” said Byford at the press conference.

The agreement comes exactly two weeks to the day Metrolinx informed the TTC in writing that the province would look for a private sector part-ner to run the lines.

‘One mOment in time’

But McCuaig said the letter from Sept. 19 addressed to the TTC simply represented “one moment in time” and negotiations continued to find a suitable compromise.

He denied the decision to send the letter was a negotiating tactic intended to put pressure on the TTC to come to terms on an agree-ment.

“This was not about putting pres-sure on anyone,” said McCuaig. “It was about two partners working together to deliver a new approach on this infrastructure, and that’s exactly what we did.”

While the question of what tran-

sit entity will operate the lines has been resolved, details remain to be finalized, and McCuaig said he expected a master agreement to be hammered out in the next couple of months.

PrOvincial funding

Another issue is how much fund-ing the province will give to the TTC to run the lines.

TTC chair Karen Stintz said a deci-sion on that matter isn’t due until two years before the lines open.

“We have time to work out those details,” she said.

Chiarelli called on the federal government to implement a national strategy for planning and fund-ing transit projects over the long term.

He said his government to date had kicked in nearly $13-billion in infrastructure funding for Ontario, while the federal commitment for the entire country was half that.

“They need to come to the table with more,” said Chiarelli.
