tuesday january 10 2012 beach metro news 3 residents speak up on budget by jon muldoon a packed auditorium awaited councillor mary-margaret mcmahon and several guest speakers at the councillor s first town hall meeting of the year focused on addressing both the declining amount of affordable and subsidized housing in ward 32 and proposed cuts in the upcoming city budget process well over 100 area residents packed into st john the baptist norway church on jan 5 to listen to the speakers and take their own turn at the microphone commenting and questioning guest speakers included joy connelly an area housing blogger and neighbourhood link s donna braybrook as well as city of toronto director of financial planning josie lavita who offered the perspective of city staff in the budget process connelly started off the evening discussing affordable housing issues in general pointing out how expensive toronto has become i couldn t afford to live on my street if i were in the market today my children couldn t afford to live on the street they grew up on she said for new people coming in social housing is the only affordable housing she also spoke about toronto community housing corporation s proposed sale of hundreds of small properties she contended that the one-time sale of hundreds of properties would actually do little to stem the tide of repairs overwhelming tchc but that other non-profits may well be able to operate some of those smaller housing units without losing money just because tchc can t manage them well doesn t mean that no one can she said my proposal is no sale without a plan braybrook offered related perspective as neighbourhood link manages a 10-resident building owned by tchc neighbourhood link also provides over 300 units of their own affordable housing in the east end but she emphasized that the organization s partnership with tchc was a great example that can and should be emulated one person from the crowd asked mcmahon if she could guarantee that funds raised from the sale of the properties would actually go towards the repair backlog she replied that provisions would be included by council to ensure that was the case several people stood up to say that any net loss of subsidized housing stock was unnacceptable the next speaker was lavita who offered an explanation of the budget process from the point of view of city staff and in particular staff that has worked for the city since preamalgamation days she pointed out that many services the city currently pays for used to be paid for by the province the biggest cost struggle facing the city according to lavita is the ttc combined with the limitations of generating income we only have so many revenue tools that we can use as a city she said richard joy vice-president of policy and government relations for the toronto board of trade emphasized that with a budget shortfall if something isn t eliminated then extra revenue needs to be generated if we re not cutting something we need to be doing something on the other side to counteract that he said he said that increasing the proposed property tax increase to three per cent as well as increasing the ttc fare hike to 15 cents from 10 would generate the income needed to cover the projected shortfall in the ttc s operating budget it can t just be about not cutting he said mcmahon pointed out that the current picture of the budget is not final and said many items would be taken off the chopping block at the executive committee meeting this week she said the budget council will vote on next week may be quite different from the one currently drawing residents out to public meetings in such large numbers she encouraged residents to attend city hall during the budget debate

page 1 the issue of the ravine itself was the major issue according to gladstone however the city supported the development with the blessing of a certified arborist as well as an urban forestry planner a ravine stewardship plan rsp would see 15 of the current 17 trees replaced with 27 new trees as well as 2008 shrubs stefanko concluded that the proposed development conforms with the intent and purpose of the city s official plan this conclusion is further reinforced when i take into account the degree of scrutiny which has been and will be applied to the proposal he wrote the 43 conditions the rsp the moe certificate required in relation to stormwater the ravine bylaw and the site plan process yet to be finalized are all factors which safeguard the appropriate development of the site gladstone said the omb decision has multiple consequences not just for the glen davis residents but for concerned citizens across toronto it does three things first of all it throws the community under the bus in terms of protecting the ravines number two it just establishes that the omb is just a clearing house for developers and number three is that it sets the worst possible precedent for all ravines in the city of toronto he said he said despite the ruling the friends are preparing to fight to have the city s ravine bylaw strengthened he believes this decision sets a precedent that will be cited from now on in any development that nears a ravine in toronto the protection should preclude development there has to be a really high threshold to come in and truck a

·06 jan 13 2012 1/9/12 10:18 am page 1 6 beach metro news tuesday january 10 2011 in my opinion old questions can lead to new vision of canada the conservatives free from the constraints of minority government made up for lost time they chose to build and fill prisons when seniors and children need care they chose to abolish the gun registry over pleas for safety in attawapiskat they chose to audit books rather than provide shelter they chose corporate tax cuts over job creation again i was there to say yay to the amendments that failed and nay to the bills that passed ­ all of them discouraged no federal politics in 2011 was ugly to be sure because you can t tell the smile from the sneer and because it is practised with such a controlled malevolence it s unsettling but it is worth remembering that much the same and sometimes worse ­ as the conservatives re matthew kellway mp beaches east york mind the liberals frequently ­ came from a government with a smile on its face so for me it s never been about a single year or single government ­ or its demeanour it s about where we re trending nobody has commented on the most disturbing trend that has swept advanced democracies ­ the re-emergence of private affluence and public squalor ­ as profoundly as tony judt in his book ill fares the land were he still alive i think he would have greeted occupy with a certain equanimity certainly he anticipated the criticism ­ the fail ure to communicate ­ leveled their way our disability is discursive we simply do not know how to talk about these things any more his book is really a plea to revive the age-old and important political questions such as what is fair what is just so long has material self-interest been our collective purpose that we have stopped asking ­ much less answering ­ these questions he argues for all its limitations occupy did pose the questions and it is hoped a new conversation has been started however haltingly for there is an urgency for change donna and i as we and many others have done for years delivered food and presents as part of centre 55 s share a-christmas program this past year the bewildered old man wandering the hallway in his under wear is enough to confirm that the ills that follow disparity are wellentrenched there are too many without care and alone when they need care and company what judt describes and occupy points to was recently quantified canada has the seventh greatest level of income disparity amongst 29 advanced countries the richest 1 of canadians saw their share of total income increase by 65 percent from 1980 to 2007 and the richest 0.1 of canadians saw their total income more than double over the same period as we took down the very barriers we had once erected to offset income disparity and it is in the cities across this country where what judt calls our collective impoverishment is most evident over this period 40 of toronto s neighbourhoods ­ in cluding large swaths of beaches/east york had their average incomes decline by more than 20 left unchecked that decline will spread to 60 of toronto s neighbourhoods by 2025 curiously perhaps it is in the knowledge of where we have been and where we are trending that we can find hope for 2012 and beyond it releases us from the futile and discouraging search for answers in the same impoverished politics and urges us to rediscover some things old and imagine some things anew not radical not necessarily transformative just something in accord with our instincts of what a better more generous more prosperous canada should look like as judt suggests if we start with the age-old political questions we ll end up in a better place beach metro community news published by ward 9 community news inc is a non-profit

the editor more questions about queen street development many thanks for your excellent coverage of the meeting with planning expert paul bedford where he addressed some of the frustrations relating to new developments his advice was to have a dialogue with the city s planning people unfortunately friends of queen foq has been unsuccessful in obtaining a response from the city planner to the question what rules is the city applying for applications that greatly exceed the current zoning and which do not meet the beach urban design guidelines there seems to be no rhyme or reason to some of the city s rulings why even the avenues and midrise guidelines which promote midrise buildings are not being properly applied in our neighbourhood as proposed developments for queen street exceed the maximum height restrictions of the midrise guidelines 20 metres and as they presell their units developers in our neighbourhood are not even being required to do full and proper prerequisite avenue segment studies to examine implications on infrastructure of their precedent-setting developments what is even more perplexing is that a specific motion that was accepted by the city council in july 2010 to remove queen street from the avenues midrise study areas is being roundly ignored by the planning department this motion was specifically intended to maintain stronger planning tools to deal with development intensification and to support the heritage nature of many parts of queen street the result of the city s actions will be the domino effect destruction of the small retail and eclectic character of queen street for example the proposed eight storey development at woodbine and queen will eclipse the firehall ­ the gateway to the beach residents are not opposed to change but it has to be done right as councillor mary-margaret mcmahon said at the meeting we need a big plan for our ward meanwhile existing rules and motions passed by council must be upheld simone skopek

canadians don t have a whole lot to brag about most times but we do require a certain persona when winter rolls around the brits have those hoity toity accents the americans have all that money and the greeks have pretty well cornered the market on most of the other stuff over the years our bragging rights have been pretty well restricted to our cold winters i remember one january day when i was still a reporter with ctv and the cameraman and i were checking into a hotel in one of the southern states the pleasant woman behind the desk asked the person ahead of me where she was from and when she was told it was wisconsin the clerk recoiled in horror and said it gets really cold there in the winter then she asked me where i was from when i replied canada the two women looked at me with a mixture of fear and respect on their faces and i must admit the entire hotel staff treated the cameraman and i with a measure of high regard that we did not encounter during the course of our normal work day i those memories used to be all that we had to carry us through those seemingly endless days of winter and as i recall we took a perverse delight in standing at a location that had a high level of pedestrian traffic nonchalantly chomping away on a popsicle while passersby watched in awe at our devil-may-care disregard for the wintry conditions that swirled around us nowadays of course such behavior wouldn t merit so much as a passing glance and that is because so far we have not experienced what i would describe as a normal winter day by normal i mean a day when you would pass a lifelong friend on the street without recognizing him or her because of the layers of clothing that mother swaddled you in to fend off the piercing temperatures and bone-chilling winds that once prevailed from early november until mid april but the kind of weather we have been experiencing so far is damaging our reputation as a polar nation if this keeps up floridians armed with beach towels and swim suits will be inundating our shores and pestering us with questions about directions to the closest beaches and the location of the near est hot dog stand well i don t know about you but i miss being frostbitten for half the year and i fear that if these warming conditions prevail we will lose our identity as hardy frost-bitten folks who like nothing better than a backyard wiener roast on a balmy 10 degrees below zero sunday afternoon let us face the facts folks we have a much-deserved reputation as a cold country and i am positive we could mount a well-reasoned defence of that opinion if we could just get our teeth to stop chattering at this point i feel it is my duty to inform you that sturdy gert mccurdy will be returning to these pages after something of an absence sturdy has been keeping something of a low profile recently ever since she had a run-in with local interests over an alleged insult she is said to have hurled at the mayor during the course of the annual euchre tournament and fish fry which was held at the town hall apparently the incident occurred in front of several witnesses and authorities are prepared to take the matter to court as soon as they manage to flush the witnesses out of hiding this conceptual drawing shows the plan for the skating path that exists in ward 6 etobicoke-lakeshore the trail similar to the one at evergreen brickworks in the don valley opened last winter in colonel samuel smith park at lakeshore and kipling ward 32 councillor marymargaret mcmahon would like to hear from skating enthusiasts and history buffs about a couple of new ventures in the works a skating path work group is being set up to gauge the interest and feasibility for a skating path ­ a `mini rideau canal skating trail ­ along the

interesting vino now that winter is officially upon us my thoughts turn to icewine this fascinating nectar of the gods is created from grapes that are naturally frozen on the vine in the dead of winter picked by hand and crushed outside extremely labourintensive it is ontario s claim to fame on the vinous world stage we all know that icewine is sweet and rich but the key to what makes a good one is the balancing acidity sourness without enough of the sour component to counterbalance the rich sweetness the wine is simply cloying ontario icewine certainly doesn t lack in acid as we consistently have enough sub-zero temperatures to provide it as it is extremely sweet most folks consider icewine a dessert or a match to sweet delectables straight up after a meal it s fabulous because icewine is abundant in tropical fruit notes it s especially good matched with fruit-based desserts such as pies tortes flans and tarts pour some over fresh fruit cocktail let it sit for a while and then indulge yummy drizzled over ice cream it s nirvana with cookies and cakes it sings it s one of the few wines that even holds up to chocolate older icewines as they oxidize become caramel-like with dried fruit and toffee nuances so caramelbased flavours in dishes meld nicely just edward finstein a.k.a the wine doctor wine writer educator judge consultant 416-269-7963

out how to take advantage of our online advertising for more information call us at 416-698-1164 or visit us online at www.beachmetro.com remember when matching icewine to dessert that the wine must be overall as sweet or preferably sweeter than the dish as great as it is with dessert it s actually much more versatile surprisingly icewine works well with savoury dishes salty herbaceous or rich not sweet so examples like chicken liver paté with an onion marmalade on toast a mixed endive salad with cranberry and blue cheese and a chicory salad with candied salmon and french beans with a bacon and almond dressing are quite delightful with it try it with veiny stinky cheese alone for a real taste sensation the cheese will taste less salty and the wine less sweet resulting in a third ethereal flavour that s simply to die for another food style it meshes well with is spicy or exotic cuisine somehow the sweetness of the wine tames the heat and as icewine often possesses exotic fruit notes it pulls together with exotic flavours in food so icewine makes an admirable partner to such selections as confit duck with mostarda italian condiment made of candied fruit and a mustard flavoured syrup with curried squash puree cabbage leaves and roast onions slow cooked pork shoulder with chili apple braised radish and spiced apple celery salad and seared scallop with chili butter honey glaze with chestnuts and carrot puree check it out with thai indian hakka chinese and mexican dishes for some wild flavour compatibility.one of the best ways in general to ensure that wine and food mesh is to use some of the wine that you are going to sip with the dish in the food preparation thus pulling flavours together in most cases wine is reduced through cooking eliminating alcohol and adding just a touch of its character as icewine is low in alcohol many chefs however try to add it somewhere along the food prep line so it isn t cooked out as surprisingly versatile as icewine is there is one major drawback one does not usually consume more than a small glass of it at any one time like one would when sipping a dry red or white with a meal it s simply too sweet and rich so if you are planning on showcasing icewine s versatility and food-friendliness very small taste portions of both wine and food are preferable remember the key here is to demonstrate wine/food compatibility not send folks into sugar/cholesterol shock try some of these suggestions or something similar and shed some new light on this iconic canadian wine s versatility enjoy!

·13 jan 10 2012 food 1/6/12 11:39 am page 1 tuesday january 10 2012 beach metro news 13 money life and law dig deeper to take full advantage of post-christmas sales d id you survive the most stressful time of the year for shopping have you maxed out the credit cards or are you one of the few that made it through the season without too much stress hopefully you still have some money left because there are great sales in january traditionally january is the time for `white sales you will see the ads in all the major department stores but remember don t just go to the regular racks for the advertised sales those are the racks for the `amateur sale shopper the deeper into the department you go the more likely you will find the deeply discounted items in some out of the way bin off in a corner you may have to search a little harder but it could be worth it and often there may be another percentage discount taken off once you get to the cash register my tip is to read the signs and labels be prepared to do a little math in your head and always double check at the cash for the exact price before you make the purchase if your `understanding of the discount and the cashier s don t mesh politely question it and tell her what you thought it was you actually might be able to clear up any misunderstanding don t be discouraged if you find say the perfect pillow sham but there is only one remember these are deeply discounted sale items when this happened to me last year i bought the one sham thinking i could always cut it apart and use plain fabric on the back to make two shams or just use it for an accent pillow the bargain price jan maclean the penny saver made it worthwhile but before i remade the sham i checked at another location of the store and it had my second sham lucky me while i was at the other location i found the perfect dust ruffle for my bed at 80 off hey i think i may have just talked myself into checking out some new bedding this month much to my husband s dismay since it is also the beginning of the year it might be a good time to think about all those monthly bills we pay and how we can reduce them i get really upset about the amount of money i pay bell every month in order to have telemarketers calling me during dinner when i added up my monthly bill for home service ­ including call answer and 500 minutes of long distance to the united states and canada ­ my bill was close to $50 a month as an experiment i suspended my home service for six months which cost $50 for the duration this allows me to keep my home phone number when i reconnect after the six-month experiment to replace the home service my husband i each have a cellphone with pay-as-you-go service there is no contract and no need for a monthly payment we started off with $100 of air time which would expire after a year we discovered that we like the text feature so we each pay $5 a month in order to send and receive 250 texts ­ we never get close to that but it is worth the price since with regular charges 25 texts add up to $5 we use this a lot and will probably keep it we also find that we don t have to add much money for our calls since they are kept to a minimum i have been very happy with this new arrangement and am seriously considering cancelling our landline at the end of the six months if i don t recognize a number i don t have to answer it and i don t have to pay extra for this feature so this has been my attempt to reduce some monthly bills another bill that irritates me is cable and internet i will be turning my attention to those soon let s start out the new year reassessing where our money goes and how to manage life without all those annoying expenses happy new year don t count backyard chickens before bylaw is hatched by martin gladstone a city motion hatched by councillors joe mihevc and mary-margaret mcmahon to allow residents to keep backyard chickens will be examined by toronto s licensing and standards committee in february 2012 the motion calls on council to direct city staff to look into allowing residents to keep backyard hens in a safe and appropriate manner the idea is to permit toronto residents to keep hens in their backyards to produce eggs for personal consumption existing bylaws ban the birds as a former hobby farm owner for many years near brighton ontario who kept and raised hens for their eggs please allow me to share my hen raising experiences with you my `girls were rescue chickens they came from a farm rescue society that saved farm animals in distress and found them homes my farm had a beautiful red barn insulated and fortified with a chicken coop outdoor pen access and outdoor lights it was a deluxe hen hotel i offered to adopt 12 hens that had been found nearly starved in a barn of hundreds of abandoned animals near stratford ontario before my girls arrived two dedicated women arrived to conduct a home study much like adopting a child i had to pass a rigorous exam and evaluation which i thankfully passed being vegetarian certainly helped these lovely volunteers advised that these hens were older three years were stressed and would not lay eggs or live much longer shortly thereafter my girls arrived and settled in my hens were rhode island reds a standard commercial brand that are sadly typical in chicken factory farms the girls all had their own personalities and characters they would follow me around as they clucked away and you could see them improve daily at dusk they found their way to the coop from the outside pen and perched together on a barn beam for warmth and comfort yes chickens can fly then i had a bird-brain idea i placed art on the walls of the hen hotel just for fun so imagine my surprise a few days later when i found an egg in the nesting box the girls obviously considered the art to be eggcellent they continued to lay eggs which were utterly delicious ­ no comparison to what you buy in the supermarket and what a joy to produce your own food not to mention the bragging rights i had with my girls who by now had their own names such as chickpea and henrietta one morning i walked in and the girls were so quiet i knew something was wrong i looked down to see two dead half eaten hens on the floor a strong and determined predator had scaled the barn walls and broken through a weak spot and ripped the chicken wire away was it a fox a weasel an experienced local farmer knew immediately it was a raccoon in the city raccoons are tubby urban scavengers that eat garbage in the country they are true feral nocturnal natural killers keeping the girls safe became an enormous challenge predators are resourceful and never give up happily my girls lived for three more years the farm rescue people were so surprised they even came back for another visit the idea of city backyards hens is a good one in terms of local food supply and having cruelty free food but there are many issues that have not been addressed while back yard hens seem to work well in cities like london england and vancouver toronto is the raccoon capital of the world they are everywhere they will quickly find their feral instincts more food will mean more raccoons in the city they are not nocturnal they will prey on hens at every opportunity further scattered chicken feed creates a food supply for mice and rats their populations will grow and they will invade wherever possible to create new colonies in sync with the increased food supply another issue is governance who will govern the quantity of hens or ensure no abuse or cruelty or slaughter who will govern hygiene or excessive noise or nuisance issues to neighbours further chickens are tropical they require warmth in the winter warmth means using outdoor energy which raises fire code and building standard issues hen houses must also be fully fortified against predators standards must be set and then enforced by the city and as with h1n1 bird flu if there is an air borne disease how will we deal with backyard chickens how will city council deal with a possible cull or disease issues an amended bylaw can t be half hatched the idea of local food is a noble one but chickens in the city create enormous issues that may affect quality of life issues for all of us ­ beyond the fowl puns new year s resoution eat more chocolate o heart smart dark chocolate o single estate michel

swollen face after removal of their third molar teeth known as `wisdom teeth or had to live through pain and infection from a wisdom tooth that should have been removed but wasn t with that in mind it is easy to understand why third molars have developed a nasty reputation does this imply that all wisdom teeth are bad or should be removed on a `preventive basis the short answer definitely not before delving further into this subject it is important to understand a little about the history of wisdom teeth and why they are often problematic at the risk of digressing to the argument of darwinism versus creationism it is reasonable to state that most health care professionals are on the side of evolution or natural selection evolution certainly allows for an easier explanation of the wisdom tooth predicament prior to the agricultural revolution and the milling of grains our ancestors had a much more coarse and fibrous diet requiring much greater chewing demands hence our ancestors had a much larger jaw a more refined and softer diet has ostensibly led to a decrease in jaw size unfortunately the teeth have lagged behind and now it is common for people to have more teeth than they have room for in their jaw this explains the prevalence of both third molar crowding since they are the leroux froebel bilingual school · programs for children 18 months to 12 years · early

indicate that up to 25 of the population is missing at least one of their wisdom teeth and some very fortunate individuals are missing all four the good news if you are an evolutionist is that in 10,000 years no one will have wisdom teeth the present reality is that wisdom teeth have been unfairly labeled as being `all bad just as there is human variation in height and body frame there is similarly a wide variation in both jaw size and tooth size simplistically some people have room to accommodate their wisdom teeth and others do not wisdom teeth are extremely variable in their position some growing straight and others angled unfavourably due to crowding and other factors since wisdom teeth typically grow into the mouth between the ages of 17 and 25 years it is very important that teens and young adults in this age range have reg ular dental examinations including xrays of the wisdom teeth while it is true that not all wisdom teeth are bad it is similarly true that absence of pain does not necessarily mean there is no problem it is all too common for undiagnosed wisdom tooth problems to jeopardize the second molar teeth immediately in front of the wisdom teeth the discussion of wisdom teeth begs an important question ­ if research and technology have come so far in the last 100 years to prevent common dental problems why haven t we advanced dental science to prevent wisdom tooth problems fortunately this may be changing current research is studying whether or not it is cost effective safe and viable to prevent these teeth from forming in the first place known as intentional therapeutic agenesis it would involve a minimally invasive procedure carried out on young children under the age of five analogous to vaccinating young children for infectious disease prevention future research will undoubtedly focus on genetic engineering to inhibit the formation of third molars when you consider that two billion dollars a year is spent in the us sorry we don t record such statistics in canada on removal of wisdom teeth not including examinations consultations x-rays anesthesia post-op visits and time lost from work perhaps it is research

of jesus christ scripture teaches that the bride of christ the church universal will soon be caught up to meet him in the air one of the supporting evidences of this doctrine is the worldwide unprecedented turning of millions of people to personal faith in jesus christ as their lord and saviour while north american european and australian churches languish in laodicean lethargy and lukewarmness god s holy spirit is awakening people from a diverse background to a personal commitment to christ two hundred years ago less than one per cent of evangelical christians lived outside of the west today 70 of believers are non-western it took 1,430 years for christianity to reach one per cent of the world s population by 1940 that level had risen to three per cent since the second world war evangelical christianity has grown to 11.2 of the world s population a consortium of christian broadcasters that began with `the world by 2000 then `the world by radio have estimated that 230,000 people pray to receive christ as saviour every day most of these converts are found in lands of poverty and persecution broadcast ratings indicate that satellite and internet christian programming produced by hcjb global radio in north africa and the middle east is reaching 1.3 million listeners every week decisions for christ in this area are averaging 667 per hour or over 16,000 each day on the other hand christianity is hated in 60 countries of the world where believers in jesus christ are persecuted imprisoned tortured and martyred simply because they are christians it is estimated that 250 million christians wake up each day facing the uncertainty of a life without rights approximately 176,000 followers of jesus christ are martyred annually for their faith often atrocities against christians are ignored by the leaders of the west or grossly misrepresented by the media lands that have had a background in the christian faith have sold out to the unbiblical notion that all men are children of god so live and let live we have abandoned the great commission which commands us to preach the gospel to every creature and have replaced it with a social gospel that misses the mark god is reaching multitudes of people in the world without the presence or participation of his church he is accomplishing the greatest task in the world originally assigned to us who believe in christ but which we have neglected for so long what does this mean to us while no one knows how long we have until the church age comes to its conclusion it is obvious that we are on the cutting edge of the fulfillment of biblical prophecy some day the last person to be converted to christ will make that choice and the purpose for the church will be fulfilled when that time comes

mp s youth advisory meeting by phil lameira it s not often teenagers get an opportunity to directly influence their provincial government s direction they can t vote until the age of 18 and often resort to writing letters and protesting to have their voices heard but in the beaches-east york riding they do have a voice and a strong one at that every month local mp matthew kellway hosts a youth advisory meeting at his constituency office on main street local youth are welcome to participate in various discussions about the country s future issues such as foreign policy trade and social programs are discussed and participants are encouraged to share their ideas and solutions this program is recognizing that the decisions we make as members of parliament and all elected officials will impact these kids for years to come said kellway i m hoping that through the course of this process they ll develop their ideas about what they can do to build a country here they re happy with during the group s last meeting on dec 18 groups of issues were sorted and grouped into a few categories the teens involved will discuss and analyse each category in future meetings one of the goals is to develop a `vision document which will be a result of the monthly discussions i think it s good to have these conversations with people because a lot of [youth don t pay attention to what s going on around us said emily kellway a grade 10 student at malvern collegiate high school students may receive community service hours or a credit for participating the youth advisory is set to meet again on jan 11 from 4 p.m to 5:30 p.m anyone interested in participating should call kellway s constituency office at 416-467-0860 or email matthew.kellway.c1a@parl.gc.ca check out beachmetro.com for video
