Two North York Grade 12 stu-dents are tackling an issue they say is becoming more common in teenagers like themselves.

Christine Chen and Ana Stajkovic, both in their final year at Earl Haig Secondary School, ran a school-wide campaign called “Break Your Shell” to raise awareness about social anxiety.

“It’s an issue we see in our everyday lives, especially in high school. We both felt it

was an issue that was getting overlooked,” Stajkovic said.

“And we both have had experiences ourselves,” Chen added.

So they recently held two interactive events to help shed light on social anxiety.

The first event was based on the concept of speed dating in which they set up chairs in the main hall of the school during two lunch periods. Then they motivated students to get out of their comfort zone by having a conversation with someone

North York residents are invited to give their input in Toronto’s ward boundary review at a few meetings this week.

The next public meetings are today and Saturday.

The intent of the review is to ensure that each person in the city has equitable representa-tion at city council. Growth in the city has resulted in wards with populations above or

below the average of 61,000. Some wards have populations of 30 to 50 per cent above the average, according to a City of Toronto release.

Have your say on ward boundary review process

w Thursday’s meeting is at Northern District Library, 40 Orchard View Blvd., from 6 to 9 p.m.w Saturday’s meeting is at Edithvale Community Centre, 131 Finch Ave. W., from 9 a.m. to noon.

Ward 9 Councillor Maria Augimeri has bought herself a bit of time on a vote that would begin the process to set out the development plans for the Allen District, located in the Sheppard Avenue-Allen Road area of Downsview.

Augimeri asked her fellow coun-cillors at the Tuesday meeting of North York Community Council to defer approving a preliminary report on the Allen District Plan. Approval of the report would start a public consultation process.

Community Council deferred the decision to its Feb. 18 meet-ing, during which time Augimeri hopes to talk to city planning staff to separate wards 9 and 10, which currently fall in to one plan.

Also, according to the staff report, the eastern portion of the Allen District is owned by Build Toronto and the western portion of the area is owned by Canada Lands Company (CLC).

“Right now, it’s all part of the same (plan), but it should not be,” she said. “One is City of Toronto lands and one is federal govern-ment land. They also have differ-ent councillors so they should be independent of one another.”

York University announced the launch of a School of Continuing Studies on Monday with two new certificate programs that are designed differently than other post-secondary institutions.

“Our programs aren’t designed to take in a piecemeal fashion,” said Tracey Taylor-O’Reilly, executive director of the School of Continuing Studies, noting that continuing edu-cation classes to date haven’t changed much over the last several years. “It’s still about taking classes to enhance

professional knowledge.”But the two new human resources

management certificate programs, which begins in the fall with both full-time and part-time options, will be offered in cohort format in which enrolled students can move through the program together.

Taylor-O’Reilly added that the programs will help students develop the business and communication skills required to excel and move into leadership roles in the field of human resources management.

“Employers are looking for well-rounded people...and to understand their business,” she said, adding

they’ve consulted with vice-presi-dents of major companies to better equip students for the workforce. The new School of Continuing Studies is also aiming to bring the existing continuing professional pro-grams at York together with the York University English Language Institute (YUELI), providing further second language and academic support for international students.

“It’ll ensure students have the full range of skill sets they need in order to be successful,” said Rhonda Lenton, vice-president academic and provost.

Billed as the first of its kind in

Canada, a full-time post-degree human resources management cer-tificate program will allow students to earn a certificate in eight months.

Working professionals can choose to take a two-year, part-time certifi-cate program with summers off. It will initially be offered online and then in a blended learning format, which combines online work with weekend classes.

Taylor-O’Reilly said 14 applications have been submitted since last week with 50 total spots available.

The herniated disc in Kramay Patel’s lower back was so troublesome, he would often need to stand at the back of the university lecture hall to take notes to help alleviate the pain.

As his physiotherapist applied electronic stimulation to his back, Patel realized just how effective the treatment was, while simultaneously developing empathy toward those with spinal injuries.

His situation prompted the bio-medical systems engineering student

at the University of Toronto to delve into the field of rehabilitation engi-neering for improving back stability for people confined to wheelchairs due to spinal cord injury.

Patel, along with eight other undergraduate student research-ers, presented his work to scien-tists at the Sunnybrook Research Institute (SRI) earlier this month at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre for a chance to win $10,000 through the fourth annual Sunnybrook Research Prize competition.

The competition was open to Canadian students working on research projects in physical sci-

ences and engineering disciplines across the country, with nine chosen from 18 entries. The prize money can be used in any way they wish.

Patel’s research focuses on devel-oping a functional electrical stimula-tion based neuroprosthesis that can improve the trunk (back) stability of patients with spinal cord injuries who are in wheelchairs.

The research aims to increase the quality of life for individuals by allowing them to be safe in their wheelchairs without using restrictive chest harnesses that reduce their functional workspace and limit their ability to perform daily activities.

Patel, who said he was pleased with how his presentation inside the McLaughlin Auditorium went, said if he won he would use the money in full to fund future education, although the third-year undergrad student is still undecided what to pursue.

The judges ended up picking two winners: Patel, and Heather Whittaker from the University of Winnipeg, whose research centres on brain structure and the search of a biomarker that can diagnose early stage Alzheimer’s disease.

The two winners will each receive $5,000.

‘So?”That was the

question of the day I was greeted with whenever I bumped into somebody I knew last week. It started Tuesday on the way to work. The first to ask it was the guy behind the window at my regular subway station.

“So?”Much to his relief, my

response was an affirma-tive nod. Up next was the girl behind the counter at My Regular Morning Coffee Stop (no, not its real name). She gave me my usual double double. (Not its real name either. It is, in fact, a quintuple quintuple. But please don’t tell my nutri-tionist.)

“So?”Much to her relief, I gave

her an affirmative nod, too. Then came the couple who run The We’re Talking Extremely Convenient Store Considering It’s Just Across The Food Court From My Regular Morning Coffee Stop (yes, it’s real

name) where I pick up my daily newspaper.

“So?”I answered the same way

as before, with said affirma-tive nod. Following them was Ted, whom I hadn’t seen since before the holi-days. I bumped into him in the elevator on the way to the office and he had the similar query.

“So?”Yet another affirmative

nod from me. This was followed by a volley of encounters with co-work-ers in rapid succession: Tiffany in the hallway, then Alan by the water cooler and finally Frank inside the office.

“So? “So?” “So?” All were greeted with

affirmative nods and that’s pretty much what took place in all my encounters with people I know last week. For those who’ve

never met me and are won-dering that the heck “So?” means exactly, it’s short for “So, are you going to finally admit that it actually IS cold today?”

How could I not admit it? It was cold that day. It was cold a few days last week. Not like it gets in Manitoba, Alberta or Newfoundland, but cold for these parts. Especially early in the morning and late at night walking into that swirling wind.

But this whole “So?” business started with me because complaining that it’s cold year-round has become a veritable cottage industry in Toronto and when others say it’s cold in August, which is when the grumbling starts in earnest, I never agree.

Nor do I agree in the fall. I don’t agree in winter unless it actually is cold. Now, I realize for people new to Canada from warmer climates, any cooler weather can be a shock to the system,

but the majority of the moaning seems to come from people who have spent most of their lives in Toronto.

Soooo, now that I’ve admitted it does, indeed, get cold here OCCASIONALLY I’ve decided to turn the “So?” tables back on everybody else with my own spin, when it is not.

First up was my neigh-bour Al, whom I bumped into Sunday when we got a welcome break from the recent tougher conditions.

“So?” I asked him. As in, “So, are you finally going to admit it ISN’T cold today? Nor all those other times you were whining that it was back in August, September, October, et al? Eh, Al?”

He growled. I took that as a “yes.”

Organizations grow. Sometimes they shrink. But they have to evolve to remain relevant and cost-effective. In the case of United Way

Toronto, sometimes they merge with another organi-zation – the United Way of York Region.

That’s one example of charitable merger aiming to have the whole of the two parts better serve the people of the region.

We think it’s worthwhile for smaller, community-based organizations to look around at like-minded groups, or others competing for the same charitable dollar and see if they can serve their community better through merger or at least a partnership.

Some questions to ask: Is the organization meeting its stated goals? Is the organization having the com-munity impact it desires? Is there overlap or duplica-tion of effort happening with another organization?

Is it a struggle to find members to do the volunteer work or to sit on oversight boards? Can admin-istrative costs be reduced? Could fresh ideas surface when two groups work together?

These are just a few of the ques-tions that can provide healthy introspection.

Think about it. If an organization finds there are certain challenges that are increasingly difficult to overcome, why wouldn’t they explore different ways of approaching those challenges by reaching out to other organizations and considering ways they can join forces?

It doesn’t have to be an outright merger. An infor-mal partnership can go a long way toward helping both parties out.

For example, perhaps the opportunity exists for the pooling of resources, which can help streamline costs, avoid duplication and ensure the efforts of the volunteer base are deployed as efficiently as possible. The opportunities that can be created are intriguing: knowledge-sharing, new ideas, an energized volun-teer base. All contribute to the combined strength of a collective whole.

The keys to any successful partnership – however formal it may be – are the ability to incorporate the unique needs of the component parts to create a whole that’s better equipped to face the challenges of the day. It’s that standard by which partnerships should be measured. When opportunities exist to better serve a community’s needs, it’s always worth exploring. Organizations that ask themselves those questions will get those opportunities.

Organizations often need to adapt to better serve communities

Augimeri (Ward 9) has been appointed as the City of Toronto’s representative on the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Humber Watershed Alliance, and Burnside (Ward 26) will step into the same role on the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Don Watershed Regeneration Council.

The decision was made at a North York Community Council Tuesday and is pending approval of City Council.

The newly announced merger between the Toronto and York Region United Way organizations will translate into a greater potential for impact, according to United Way Toronto’s president and CEO.

In an interview with The York Guardian on Friday, Susan McIsaac said the decision to join forces with United Way York Region came after widespread public consultation regarding the charity’s strategic plan over the last year.

“We probably engaged over 2,000 people in asking key ques-tions around the priority of the city and what really mattered, etc,” she said. “And much of that consultation actually informed the decision that we took to pursue this conversation with York Region. That, for us, was really an important and an informa-tive process.”

As talks began with York Region last fall to possibly unify under one umbrella, McIsaac said she qui-etly reached out to “key partners, community leaders, agency leaders and key stakeholders” to seek their feedback – conversations she said were “hugely helpful and, frankly, very positive.”

“We heard very positive feedback, because, I think, there’s a notion that there’s unbelievable alignment between our organizations: align-ment on mission and alignment on priorities,” she said.

The final decision to merge the two United Ways was announced Friday, following a special meeting late Wednesday evening in which the boards for each organization voted unanimously in favour of the union.

timing is right

Vince Timpano, chair of the United Way Toronto board, said the timing of the merger felt right, given his organization’s history of collaboration with York Region.

“Now feels like the right time to take it to the next level,” he said in a statement released Friday.

“We’re both at the right points in our strategic plans to adopt a more regional focus. Working together, we’ll accomplish more than we ever could separately. The opportunities this merger will make possible are incredibly exciting.”

Several examples of “significant alignment” between the two United Ways was cited in the boards’ merger recommendation, including: the fact that they fund some of the same community agencies; that the people they serve (as well as their donors and volunteers) live

The hammering of road work could be going on through the night on some city projects if council approves a new policy to speed up traffic-snarling construction.

The policy, which was recom-mended at the Jan. 6 Public Works and Infrastructure Committee meeting, will mean that in certain cases – and at a price premium – contractors will toil around the clock to make sure that the project is finished as quickly as possible.

The policy comes after Mayor John Tory announced that the city would pay that premium to have work finished on this phase of the Gardiner Expressway rehabilita-tion.

Under the proposed policy, work could continue 24 hours a day, seven days a week on expressways and major roads where the work is far from residential neighbour-hoods and non-disruptive to TTC operations.

Work could also be done over-night, but not during daylight hours on major roads far from residen-tial neighbourhoods, so that roads could stay open for regular com-muting times.

As well, work hours could be extended on major roads between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. Monday to Saturday and local roads between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Road work hours could be extended to all night

and work on both sides of the Steeles Avenue boundary that separates Toronto and York Region; that the two organizations have the same mission, vision, and core values; and that their strategic plans share the same three community priori-ties – supporting youth, improving

neighbourhooods, and strengthen-ing community services.

“Together, we have much greater potential for impact, because there’s such alignment between our two United Ways,” McIsaac said.

Metroland Toronto and Central vice-president and regional pub-

lisher Ian Proudfoot has served on United Way York Region’s board and campaign cabinet for more than five years, and said he is optimistic, with a caveat, about the pending partnership.

“It will work if York Region gets to keep its United Way voice, but if York

Region gets lost in the merger and is without focus, it’ll be a failure,” he said.

they didn’t know. They found that students were

initially hesitant to sit down and engage their peers.

Chen and Stajkovic noted social anxiety comes in different forms including not being able to start conversations or even say hello due to the fear of making a fool of themselves in some way.

The second event aimed to reduce the use of technology for communi-

cation and got the teachers on board to tell their students during period 1 class to shut their cellphones off.

“No one wanted to,” Stajkovic observed.

Chen added they noticed with the use of social media more preva-lent these days, many people often portray themselves differently and appear more confident than they might be.

In both events, they wanted to address the issue of social anxiety

by providing more opportunities for in-person interaction.

“The disorder isn’t taken as seri-ously as it should be,” said Stajkovic, but added they learned social anxi-ety can be a gateway to more serious disorders like depression.

Chen hoped their campaign would help students with social anxiety overcome the initial fear of speaking up about their issue.

“It’s OK to talk about it,” she said.

These meetings are part of a two-stage public consultation process.

The boundary review is taking several issues into consideration:

• the number of people living in each ward

• geographic communities of interest and neighbourhoods

• major physical and natural

boundaries• population trendsThe review is being conducted

by independent consultants, with oversight from the city.

Playing opposition at City Council is delicate work.

With no official party system and in its place a coalition of disparate inter-ests in orbit of a – usually – popular mayor, it’s tough to get traction. Contrarian councillors outside that orbit are left to find ways to get their ideas in front of the public.

The pitfalls are many. During the David Miller era, right-of-centre councillors stumbled around for years before forming a coalition called The Responsible Government Group that tried with scant success to critique the mayor’s agenda.

Councillors on the left took a different approach with Mayor Rob Ford in 2010, taking the give-him-rope-to-hang-himself tack until finally, he did so.

It’s clear neither approach is going to work with sober, steady old John Tory – who has an ambitious agenda and the resolve to keep potential opposition away from committees that might affect that agenda.

And so it is that on

Monday, progressive coun-cillors adopted another strategy: if the mayor gives you lemons, make lemon-ade.

The lemons Tory gave Gord Perks, Mike Layton, Sarah Doucette, Joe Cressy and Maria Augimeri were seats on the Parks and Environment Committee: a committee historically known for light agendas and little influence.

That will likely not be the case this term. As of Monday, the commit-tee has a subcommit-tee: the Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Subcommittee. Chairing it will be Perks, who has had a long career as an environ-mental advocate. Also on the committee are Doucette, Layton and Cressy.

The subcommittee will begin holding public meetings promptly, to talk about ways in which the city can move into a

leadership role in battling climate change, worldwide. Following from that, the subcommittee will likely bring recommendations to the Parks and Environment Committee – which, owing to its membership, will send those recommendations to council – into Tory’s lap.

It will be awkward: cli-mate change mitigation can be expensive, and politically challenging, as it enters into areas where Torontonians are divided: everything from green energy programs to anti-car initiatives and the dreaded “bag tax” from the Miller era. One courting the support from Ford Nation will have a hard time back-ing much of that agenda.

But failing to back some of that agenda will play just as badly with the centre-left and pure centre voters, for a mayor hoping to maintain a broad base of support.

It will be interesting to see how this uniquely passive act of aggression plays out.

w Further union closures expected

The TTC wasted no time at all scheduling its first con-struction-related subway closure for 2015.

The closure, which took place last weekend from Union to St. Andrew sta-tions, is the first of a series planned between now and March to put the finishing touches on the TTC’s $137 million top-to-bottom reno-vation of Union Station in time for the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

Part of the remaining work includes installing a 152-metre wall dividing the Union and Yonge platforms made up of glass panels adorned with art.

Residents curious about the progress of Scarborough subway extension planning will have an opportunity to hear from city staff at a pair of community meetings sched-uled for the project.

The plan has received attention of late with calls

to add another stop, at Danforth Road and Eglinton Avenue.

The first meeting takes place Saturday, Jan. 31 at Jean Vanier Secondary School, 959 Midland Ave. starting at 9:30 a.m., then on Monday, Feb. 2 at the Scarborough Civic Centre, 150 Borough Dr. beginning at 6 p.m.

w opp releAses ride results

There wasn’t much change compared to last year in the number of impaired driv-ing charges laid by the OPP during the holidays.

The OPP’s annual holiday RIDE crackdown, which took place from Nov. 24 to Jan. 2, resulted in 593 impaired driving charges for Ontario motorists compared to 587 during the 2013-14 holiday period. This time around, one person was killed because of impaired driving compared to three in the previous year.

While impaired driv-ing charges have dropped significantly, the OPP said it was still disappointed by the holiday findings.

Since it was launched last May, the Toronto Cycling App has recorded over 65,000 trips made through-out the city, giving cycling planners a better idea where Toronto’s bike network could be strengthened in the future.

As part of the contest, prizes were given to users of the app ranging from memberships to Bike Share Toronto to the grand prize: a new bike worth $700. The app is available for down-load for Android and the iPhone.

Staff Sgt. Chris Boddy gets the razor treatment for a seventh timeANDREW PALAMARCHUK [email protected]

Toronto Police Staff Sgt. Chris Boddy has shaved his head seven times to raise funds for cancer research. The most recent shave was on one of the coldest days of 2015.

“It is cold,” Boddy said Tuesday during the launch of the Cops for Cancer cam-paign at Yorkdale Shopping Centre.

“Having a cold head is the least I could do to help raise money to end this ter-rible disease that so many of our friends, co-workers and family members are affected by.”

On April 18, more than 100 Toronto police officers will get their heads shaved at the North York mall in the hopes of raising more than

$100,000.Since 1999, Cops for Cancer

in Toronto raised more than $900,000.

For Boddy, this year’s initia-tive is extra meaningful.

“Just before the holidays, I had an aunt who passed away (after) battling breast cancer for the last two years,” he said.

D e p u t y C h i e f M i k e Federico shaved Boddy’s head at Tuesday’s Cops for Cancer launch, which raised more than $600.

Also at the event, the

Canadian Cancer Society recognized Yorkdale with the Celebrating Impact in Corporate Fundraising award.

Boddy was honoured with the Celebrating Impact in Community Leadership award for his “exceptional contributions and selfless volunteer leadership.”

Boddy encouraged both his colleagues and the public to join the cause.

Police release images of vehicle in connection with Jane-Sheppard shootingPolice have released secu-rity camera images of a vehicle possibly involved in a shooting in North York last month.

Police said three males in a newer-model light

blue Chrysler 200 fol-lowed a man from Jane Street and Falstaff Avenue to Bartor Road around 4 p.m. Dec. 2.

“As the vehicles were travelling on Bartor Road,

the suspect vehicle pulled up beside the victim’s vehicle and several gun-shots were fired at the victim,” police s a i d i n a news release Monday. “The victim h a d t w o small chil-dren in his car at the time of the shooting.”

Luckily, no one was hurt.Police have a vague description

of the suspects.The suspect vehicle, the Chrysler

200, had distinct damage to the rear passenger door at the time of the shooting.

The damage can be seen in the security camera images police released.
