The investigation into the recent discovery of human remains in Riverdale has lead to a search of the Commissioners Street Transfer Station.

Starting on Thursday and into the weekend, crews of investiga-tors from Toronto Police Service clad in white jumpsuits and face masks sifted through garbage dropped off at the solid waste depot at 400 Commissioners St., which is between Bouchette Street and Logan Avenue in the port lands.

K. Spence, who has lived near Logan Avenue and Queen Street East for just under a decade, said she passed by the transfer sta-tion Thursday morning around 11:45 a.m. as she was on the way to the gym and saw appeared to be a “team of people dressed in white and a big police truck on the premises.”

“I had a feeling it had to do with the discovery and got a sick feeling in my stomach,” she told The Mirror. “The neighbour-hood has changed a lot since I’ve been here.”

Cannabis dispensaries are springing up like weeds near Danforth

and Chester avenues.In the last six months,

four marijuana retailers have opened their doors along the strip.

Weeds Glass and Gifts at 341 Danforth Ave. was the first. Located in a former Pan-Asian eatery that now has a large green marijuana leaf fixture in the front window, the Vancouver-based com-pany has been doing steady business.

“Our first location in Toronto is here at Danforth and Chester,” said store man-ager, Michael. “We’re now in the process of opening our sixth location (in Toronto). We’re projecting 20 of them across the GTA in the next year.”

Weeds has also recently opened a location in the Beach at 2211 Queen St. E.

Michael, who declined to give his last name, said the reaction from the community to Weeds opening up in the area has “overall been very welcoming”.

“You get the odd hater, but it’s because they don’t understand,” he said. “All of the people that come in here have some sort of medical ail-ment they’re trying to treat and they’re using cannabis as an alternative form of medica-tion.”

Like the majority of can-nabis dispensaries, Weeds “members” must be 19 and older and present a medical note or be currently using a prescribed narcotic.

About three months ago, Medical Club set up shop next door to Weeds in what used to be a tea shop. This dispensary has a different and a much more discreet feel with heavy grey privacy curtains drawn and a sign on the door that

reads “members only.” A reporter tried to speak

with the store’s manager, but the man who cracked open the door during a recent visit sug-gested a visit to their website to learn more. The Mirror reached out for comment via email but did not hear back.

Three doors down, S.W.E.D. Society is preparing to open its doors in a former acces-sory store. When The Mirror dropped by recently, workers were busy laying flooring for the new dispensary.

In an email, Adam Blender, S.W.E.D. Society’s director of operations, said they decided to open up in the Danforth/Chester area because they “found a lot of people were very welcoming to the idea of a medicinal marijuana dispensary” in their neigh-bourhood.

“The diversity found within the neighbourhood was also a leading factor, especially when considering the needs of some of the residents,” he wrote.

“We have had nothing but positive feedback from the community. They see we are doing things properly and for the right reasons. They see we are there to help those in need by offering quality products at an affordable price.”

At this dispensary, those wishing to purchase cannabis must be at least 19 years of age with valid identification and have a doctor’s prescription for cannabis or medication on hand prescribed by a physi-cian. Blender said this medica-tion must be valid and it must

be known that cannabis has the ability to combat whatever disease, ailment, or illness it was prescribed for.

To the east, across from Chester subway station, is Green Rhino Medicinal Cannabis, which opened its doors just over a month ago in a former women’s cloth-ing and accessories shop. This dispensary has a much more spa-like feel with light wood and orange accents, and a large, high desk along one wall located in a private members’ area separated by a velvet rope. Cool house music beats permeate the air.

Like at Weeds, several members filled the shop on a recent Friday morning, some of whom used a large clinical-looking magnifying glass to inspect their purchase. The Mirror made two attempts to speak with Green Rhino’s management, but never heard back.

While these new “green” retailers seem to be doing brisk business,

some of those who live, work and operate businesses in the area aren’t too sure what to make of them.

The legalization and regu-lation of marijuana has not yet been adopted by any level of government in Ontario, therefore these dispensaries are technically operating ille-gally, according to the City of Toronto, Toronto police, and Health Canada.

There are only a select few dispensaries authorized by

Health Canada to distribute marijuana by mail to those with verified prescriptions. According to Health Canada’s website, it states neither Health Canada nor the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) authorizes licensed producers to provide mari-juana for medical purposes through a storefront.

Life-long area resident

Natalie Hosmer said she’s “dis-appointed” with the number of weed shops that have popped up along the Danforth.

“I’m concerned that it takes away from the vibrant neighbourhood we have,” she said. “I’m concerned about the safety of the neighbourhood as well as the fact that visually seeing so many of these shops makes the neighbourhood less attractive for residents and visitors.”

Mother of three Mara Cole, who has lived in the area for 26 years, is also concerned about the marijuana dispensaries.

“If a business is operating illegally we need to shut it down,” she said. “Once it’s legal, it’s fair game.”

Keiley Abbat both lives and runs a business in the area and like many has no prob-

lem with medical marijuana dispensaries as long as they’re above board and legal. Her concern is with the number of weed shops in a three-block radius.

“While nobody seems to take issue with legally dis-pensed weed for medical reasons, most find that the recent ‘crop’ that has suddenly opened are too many for such a small area,” she said.

The Danforth Business Improvement Area (BIA) has received several emails from residents as well as members “remarking on the prolifera-tion” of cannabis dispensa-ries in the area, said BIA chair Albert Stortchak.

He said this led his organi-zation to do some research and speak with the local MP, city councillors and the police.

Ward 30 Toronto-Danforth Councillor Paula Fletcher said her office has received a number of call and emails from constituents about the weeds shops along the Danforth.

“It’s unbelievable. They’re springing up like weeds,” she said during a recent interview, adding she’s in talks with the city’s legal department about how to address this issue. “This is a de-regulated marijuana market we’re in and it’s not just a little city issue.”

Fletcher said it’s up to the federal government to regu-late the sale and distribute of medical marijuana.

“It’s the wild, wild west on the Danforth and all we can do is try to figure out a way so they can’t open up so close to each other,” she said.

In an April 22 letter to Mayor John Tory, Fletcher and her Ward 29 counterpart, Mary Fragedakis, are calling on the mayor to consider what the city can do regard-ing what they’re calling the “over concentration” of mar-ijuana-related retailers in one neighbourhood

– with files from Hilary Caton and David Nickle

Bloor bike lanes the correct path to improving safetyToronto councillors may feel they will have a

tough decision to make when they meet next week.

Absent any advice from the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, councillors will have to decide whether to launch a pilot project on Bloor Street West to see whether a short stretch of that road can endure and maybe even benefit from a bikeway, separated from car and truck traffic.

Watching the strained debate that took place Monday at the committee, one might think the deci-sion would strain even the wisdom of King Solomon.

Bloor Street is a significant east-west artery, and removing the lanes from car traffic will cut automo-tive access in half. At the same time, climate change and a growing population dictate that we cannot

continue to encourage fossil fuel-burning cars and trucks in our downtown without offering safe alternatives. Yes, it’s another battle of car versus bike.

We hope that when this comes to Toronto council, councillors will stand down from the battle-ments and take a rational look

at this very rational plan to consider expanding our city’s cycling network.

The pilot project is just that – an experiment to see how Bloor Street and the surrounding neighbour-hoods would fare if the city were to install cycling infrastructure similar to the separated bike lanes on Sherbourne Street, and on Richmond and Adelaide streets. The separated lanes have worked out well there, in some cases tripling the number of cyclists using the routes.

That’s impressive enough. But there is another more immediate reason for trying separated lanes on Bloor.

As it stands, the street is dangerous for cyclists. Between 2008 and 2012, the stretch of road in ques-tion – between Shaw Street and Avenue Road – has had an average of 22 collisions a year. Most of those were dooring, followed by a motorist trying to pass a cyclist and a motorist driving into a cyclist out of on-street parking.

Separated bike lanes would reduce those types of accidents. It would make all Torontonians safer.

That, in and of itself, is worth a look when it comes to this pilot project. Council only has one choice.

Our VieW

Dedicated lanes make streets safer

Roots of Bombardier streetcar deal go back to 2009When Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) chair Josh Colle and CEO Andy Byford stood up Monday to talk about Bombardier and the missing light rail vehicles, they didn’t want to dwell on the past.

On the one hand, it’s an odd subject to avoid, given the trouble the city is having with its elusive new streetcars is very much a consequence of past deci-sions.

On the other hand, the business of the day on Monday had nothing to do with repudiating past administrations, and every-thing to do with delivering Bombardier Transportation the most scathingly public single-star Yelp! review possible.

Bombardier had it coming.

The Montreal-based company should have, by the schedule of delivery, provided a total of 73 new streetcars delivered to the TTC by the end of 2015.

Actually delivered in that time? Fourteen. And as of

today? Seventeen.There were problems,

mostly to do with a deci-sion by Bombardier to outsource production of some of the custom parts to Mexico.

But Bombardier had assured the TTC that they were ironed out, and prom-ised to have 54 delivered by the end of 2016.

On Monday, Bombardier made it clear, via a new CEO, that if they work very hard they can guarantee 13 additional vehicles will be delivered by the end of the year.

That means the TTC will likely have to refurbish even more of its stock of older streetcars, adding to the $34.1 million it’s already spending to do so because of the earlier backlog.

Bombardier’s covering that much. But because of the contract the city signed,

it is only liable for $51 mil-lion in costs due to delay. It is here, of course, that one is led straight to the past – specifically, to 2009, when former mayor David Miller convened a special council meeting during a long civic strike, to ink the $1.2-bil-lion deal with Bombardier that would eventually go so very wrong.

Toronto paid a larger portion of the purchase price than it should have, as Ottawa turned down a request to pay for a third of the bill, and it came at the cost of deferring certain capital projects.

It was a competitive bid-ding process, but an imper-fect one, as the only serious competitor – the German-owned manufacturer Siemens – struggled with Canadian content require-ments and effectively disqualified itself with an untenably high bid.

And Bombardier won the contract, with a require-ment for only 25 per cent Canadian content and as it turns out a sweetheart of a

contract. It’s hard to say what

Miller’s city government might have done differ-ently. Perhaps held out for more bidders? Enforced a larger Can-Con rule to keep production out of Mexico, or done away with it entirely and forgone fund-ing that was dependent on it? Or just paid hundreds of millions more for the same number of streetcars to a foreign-owned company with a good record?

This, perhaps, is another reason why Byford and Colle aren’t too quick to blame the Miller regime for the decision. In the end, going with any of those options involved taking a chance on one of a range of options.

And while it might not always turn out the case, in this case the least expen-sive, most tempting option, was the worst bet.

Toronto Archbishop Thomas Cardinal Collins recently paid a visit to Leslieville to celebrate the blessing and official open-ing of a new French-language Catholic elementary school.

Collins joined representa-tives from the Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud, community organiza-tions, politicians, educators, parents and students April 15 for the historic occasion at the newly named École élémen-taire catholique Bon-Berger at 343 Jones Ave., just north of Gerrard Street East.

“This is a beautiful day,” Collins said following the event, which was held primar-ily in French.

André Blais, the Catholic French-language board’s director of education, called the event a “big celebration” for both the community as well as the school board.

Blais said a “lot of hard

work” went into transform-ing the building into the home of Bon-Berger, which is affiliated with the nearby École élémentaire Catholique Georges-Étienne Cartier on Gainsborough Road.

“It is a historic day for the community of Beaches-East

York and especially for French Catholic education,” said Carine Golden, Bon-Berger’s principal.

Bon-Berger opened its doors in September 2014 and offers Catholic French language education to 81 kin-dergarten students.

It turns out Toronto did apply to a provincial program for bike funding after all.

Last week, Metroland Media Toronto reported the provincial government had handed out $10 million to 37 municipalities for cycling infrastructure, but nothing for Toronto. At the time it was unknown whether Toronto had applied for funding, which provides up to 50 per cent of the cost of a single project.

This week, Toronto Cycling director Jacquelyn Hayward-Gulati confirmed $52,000 was sought to cover half the cost for an “Automatic Bike Counter Network to dem-onstrate the impact of the Toronto cycling network”.

wVEHICLE IN TUNNEL CAUSES 10-HOUR DELAY

Another wayward motorist has ended up in a TTC street-car tunnel.

The incident took place early morning Sunday and the driver, in an SUV with Alberta plates, according to the TTC, entered the Queens Quay

tunnel leading into Union Station, driving for 600 metres before getting stuck.

The driver fled, and the vehicle was towed. Service was restored about 10 hours after the incident.

wSTREETCAR DELAY TO impACT CHERRY ROUTE

Questions were raised as to what will happen with the new Cherry service now that Bombardier has confirmed it can only deliver 13 more new streetcars this year.

Set to debut in June, the 514 Cherry route is intended to relieve pressure on the belea-guered 504 King service on the western portions of King Street. The 514 is slated to serve King West from Cherry to Dufferin streets, using the new streetcars.

Even though only a maxi-mum of 30 new vehicles will be in service by the end of the year, that’s still enough for

some to operate on the 514 route, said TTC CEO Andy Byford.

wmETROLiNX TALKS OLD RiVERDALE EXpANSiON

An on-and-off public tran-sit meeting to discuss GO Transit’s expansion efforts in Old Riverdale is apparently on again.

The meeting to be hosted by Metrolinx was supposed to have taken place this week. But travel issues and Toronto-Danforth MPP Peter Tabuns getting stricken with the flu meant a second postpone-ment.

Metrolinx has confirmed a meeting date of Monday, May 2 at 7 p.m. The meeting loca-tion was still unknown as of press deadline. At the meet-ing, Metrolinx will discuss the work done thus far.

Contact Tabuns’ constitu-ency office at 416-461-0223 for an update.

Long-time Leslieville resi-dent Fraser Gauthier also recently witnessed police activity at the port lands facility.

Around 1 p.m. Friday, he went down to the transfer station to dispose of some building materials but was turned away by an employee at the gate who told him the facility is closed for an inves-tigation pertaining to the torso found a few days earlier near Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street East.

“He advised my husband to come back Monday when it hopefully would be reopened,” Gauthier’s wife, Julie, said.

“They were searching for parts that may have been dumped.”

Gauthier, who has lived near Queen Street East and Greenwood Avenue for 24 years, was advised to try coming back Monday when the transfer station would hopefully reopen.

The Commissioners Street

Transfer Station was open for business Monday morning.

Police did not provide any details about this part of the investigation.

On Tuesday, April 19, an employee at Charlie’s Meat Store, 383 Broadview Ave. at Simpson Avenue, located what appeared to be human remains in a bag behind the East Toronto Chinatown

butcher shop.Police were called to the

scene around 11:20 a.m.Later on that evening,

Det. Sgt. Terry Browne of Toronto Police Service’s Homicide Squad said the remains appear to be those of a woman with light skin.

And while Browne would not reveal exactly what part of the woman’s body was found,

he did indicate it appears the death was “fairly recent” based on the condition of the remains.

T h e O n t a r i o C h i e f Coroner’s Office confirmed Wednesday, April 20 that the remains are human.

Const. Jenifferjit Sidhu said at this point the investigation is ongoing and no further updates are available.

“We are still actively searching and investigat-ing the area,” she said early Monday afternoon. “There’s no concrete information yet.”

Anyone with informa-tion should contact police at 416-808-7400, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com, or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637). Tips can also be left on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TorontoPolice. There’s also a free Crime Stoppers Mobile App on iTunes, Google Play or Blackberry App World.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an oppor-tunity, wrote author Khalil Gibran. These are words to live by.

And documentary film-maker David Bajurny has cap-tured the essense of this quote in his work, Sybil and Betts: Requiem for a Friendship, which will be part of The Caregiver Show on Friday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ontario Science Centre.

The documentary shares the story of two friends, who are now grandmas and have been friends for 50 years and continue to go on many adventures despite Betts’ Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

Bajurny said the topic of filming someone with Alzheimer’s was very “deli-cate” and he tried to be very aware not to be exploitive.

He added that filming was sometimes challenging

because Sybil works at the speed of light and Betts is very quiet.

“She was aware at times what was going on. But the degree the disease was pro-gressing to interview her was very challenging.”

Bajurny also juggled with the fact that those living with Alzheimer’s have good days and bad days. “You can be be having a perfectly normal conversation and they may ask you something you talked about five minutes ago. It can be jarring,” he said.

As a filmmaker, he adapted to these challenges by staying true to the theme of the docu-mentary: friendship.

“As long as we stayed true to Sybil being the best friend she can be to Betts and enrich her life and not focus so much on remembering on what hap-pened yesterday but enjoying those moments together - that seemed to be the most authen-tic,” said Bajurny.

The Caregiver Show is a

resource day for family care-givers and more than 50 exhib-itors are scheduled to attend. The show will allow attendees to learn about various health topics, demonstrations from the participating organiza-tions and experts as well as the resources, services and products available for caregiv-ing needs.

Participants will also have a chance to connect with other caregivers and professionals in the industry.

Also, there will be chance for caregivers to rejuvenate themselves in the Rest and Relaxation Zone where they can enjoy a little pampering and replenish their energy levels. This area will also help teach caregivers ways to take care of themselves as they per-form a very stressful job.

Admission to the show is free. Parking at The Science Centre will be discounted to $5 for those attending the show.Visit www.caregivershow.ca for details.
