York councillorscontinue to

lobby for subway

By TIM [email protected]

Now that Toronto politicians have had their say on the Yonge Street subway extension to Rich-mond Hill, a couple of York Region politicians are speaking up in response.

Vaughan Councillor Alan Shef-man, who represents Thornhill, and Richmond Hill Ward 6 coun-cillor Godwin Chan, who repre-sents the area of Hwy. 7 and Yonge Street where an eventual subway station terminal would be locat-ed, are speaking out after Toron-to Mayor John Tory and Toronto Transit Commission chairman and councillor Josh Colle threw cold water on the idea of a link to Richmond Hill in the near future.

Tory was reported as saying about the extension: “We just can’t do it. How irresponsible would it be to have the trains, when they get to Finch, be so full, no one can get on?” And Colle said: “We’re nowhere near being in the posi-tion to extend Yonge north. It’s just not feasible right now.”

44-year-old Thornhill synagogue eyeing closureBy Simone JoSeph

[email protected]

It’s the end of an era.Thornhill’s Shaar Shalom Synagogue is

closing its doors on June 30.The synagogue is “winding down its cur-

rent operations” and plans to sell its real estate, according to a March question-and-answer statement to members.

“Reversing our current situation would require extreme efforts,” the Q & A states. “Having said that, if any of our members can present us with a well-thought-out proposal as to how the shul can continue, we will con-sider it.”

Shaar Shalom Synagogue has a 44-year history serving the Thornhill and North York Jewish communities.

The conservative-turned egalitarian syna-gogue is on Simonston Boulevard near Don Mills Road, just north of Steeles Avenue, near the Shops on Steeles and 404.

The synagogue was started in a house basement by several families living in the Don Mills Road and Steeles Avenue area.

A March 9 meeting included a discussion

of the loss of the synagogue’s clergy and the potential dramatic loss of membership.

At the meeting, synagogue offi-cials described the events that led to the announcement, according to an article in The Canadian Jewish News.

Two hundred and sixteen members gathered to hear the announcement, which was met with shock, tears and some anger,

synagogue president Seymour Hersh told The CJN.

Several factors influenced the decision to close the synagogue. One of these factors was the loss of clergy.

Neither Rabbi Steven Schwarzman nor Cantor Ben Silverberg will be renewing their contracts. Their contracts, as well as the exec-utive director’s contract, ended this year.

Rabbi Schwarzman, who is native to the U.S., has been with Shaar Shalom for two years. The statement issued by the syna-gogue noted that the falling Canadian dollar, family settlement complications and “ideo-logical differences” between Schwarzman and the synagogue caused him to seek a congregation in the U.S. He announced in January that he would be leaving.

In February, Cantor Ben Silverberg announced his departure. Silverberg, who has been the cantor of Shaar Shalom since 2001, has accepted a job at Beth Torah Con-gregation, a Toronto synagogue, starting July 1.

Since the synagogue still owes $545,000 on its mortgage, has declining member-ship and bleak prospects, compounded by the loss of clergy, the executive and board decided to close the institution.

“Keeping the doors open and lights on after June 30, 2016 means incremental and ongoing costs we cannot afford,” the Q & A states.

“In any way that we can limit our expo-sure to additional expenses, we see this as our ethical responsibility.”

After 40 years of serving the Thornhill community, Shaar Shalom Synagogue is in danger of closing down; with costs of operation and departure of its clergy two key factors.

PLEASE NOTE:Tax Sales are not typical real estate transactions. If youare considering participating in a tax sale, it is highlyrecommended that you seek independent legal advicefrom a lawyer licensed to practice in Ontario and in goodstanding with the Law Society of Upper Canada.

In addition, it is not permitted to enter upon a propertythat is advertised for tax sale. These are not typical realestate transactions. Entering upon a property advertisedfor tax sale proceedings is considered to be trespassing.

If you build it, will they come?

Taking a look at the York Region Transpor-tation Master Plan (TMP) stretching out to 2041, that seems to be the idea.

By then, York Region will have about 1.8 million people, up from about 1.1 million today; the number of jobs in the region will have jumped from 565,000 to approximately 900,000, according to projections.

The big question, according to the TMP, is whether York will see a big increase in the num-ber of people who use public transit. Currently, just four per cent of trips within York Region are made using public transit. Contrast that number with these numbers: 81 per cent of a.m. peak work trips are made by car; 96 per cent of trips of less than five kilo-metres are made by car.

So, how do you get more people out of their cars and on to buses helping to free up some of the grid-lock on York Region roads?

The key way, according to the TMP, is to build a world-class transit system.

We’re seeing some of that work happening right now with the development of the Viva Rapidway sys-tem along Hwy. 7 in south-ern York Region, as well as along Steeles Avenue, up Yonge Street, along Major Mackenzie Drive, and across Davis Drive in New-market. It won’t be finished for a number of years, but when done could have a major impact on how many choose to ride the bus.

Such a system cre-ates “buses-only” lanes that keep transit mov-ing smoothly and, as the

population increases, will move people swiftly through the most congest-ed corridors.

If users can be guaran-teed good service, the idea is that more will take it, thus freeing up more lanes on the road and reducing traffic gridlock.

The hope is that, in addition to the Vaughan subway link coming online in 2017, there will also be a subway link to Richmond Hill by 2041. Combine that with all-day, two-way, 15-minute GO Train ser-vice planned along lines running through the region over the next decade and transit service should dra-matically improve.

Will all the improve-ments draw people out of their cars?

As the region grows and transit improves, taking the bus or train may prove a more attractive option down the road for some.

What’s on the menu;meals or sexy attire?

xcellent customer service doesn’t have a cup size.”

So said the execu-tive director of the

Human Rights Legal Support Centre last week on International Women’s Day, and I couldn’t agree more.

The Ontario Human Rights Commission is calling for an end to sexualized dress codes that dis-criminate against female employ-ees.

The commission is taking on some restaurants and bars that require their female staff to dress in high heels, tight dresses, low-cut tops and short skirts.

The commission maintains that this dress code requirement may make employees more vul-nerable to sexual harassment, contribute to discriminatory work environments and exclude people based on sex, gender identity or expression and creed.

Most of us have eaten at such restaurants where the female staff, often waitresses or hostesses, can be dressed in such a provocative way it can make female custom-ers embarrassed and male cus-tomers uncomfortable, too.

I’ve eaten meals at chain res-taurants in both Richmond Hill and Newmarket where either my husband or my daughter’s boy-friend were ill at ease due to the cleavage and very short skirts on display.

Many times I’ve shared a meal at such establishments with female friends and it became a topic of hushed conversation, not wanting to upset servers. I don’t think such hushed discus-sion bodes well for a restaurant, if customers talk about the way a server is dressed instead of how delicious the food is.

My son also worked in the kitchen of one such establish-ment that required female staff to dress provocatively.

Not only was he sometimes distracted in his work, but he felt uncomfortable when encounter-ing the waitresses in staff hallways — and even sorry for them.

After all, he has a sister, and would probably be embarrassed if she had obtained a job in the same restaurant and been forced to dress in a revealing way.

And as a parent, I would be more than uncomfortable if my daughter were forced to wear sexy clothes to work; I would be furi-ous.

“Employers must make sure their dress codes don’t reinforce sexist stereotypes,” said Chief Commissioner Renu Mandhane of the Ontario Human Rights Commission.

“They send the message that an employee’s worth is tied to how they look. That’s not right, and it could violate the Ontario Human Rights Code.”

Last week, the commission publicized its plea to workers that if they felt their workplace’s dress code or uniform discrimi-nated against them, they should use their company’s internal com-plaints process, or file a formal human rights tribunal complaint. (online go to sjto.gov.on.ca/hrto/contact/)

If there are any waitresses or restaurant staff who would like to express their opinions on wearing sexualized clothing — our report-ers would like to hear from them. Or from managers explaining why their dress code is important to the image they are trying to proj-ect to customers.

It’s fair game to ask restaurant staff to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day or a special T-shirt to promote a company awareness or chari-table campaign, but quite another to insist on a uniform that exposes staff as sex objects.

Stop signs add to air pollutionRe: Markham greenlights all-way stop signs where girl, 4, killed, Feb. 17; Traffic signal not welcome in Markham’s Box Grove, March 3.

It was with great disbelief that I read stories about the plan to erect more stop signs in Markham.

The town could put up five stop signs behind each other, 10 feet apart, on an intersection, and accidents would still happen.

The mayor is totally right in saying that only driver and pedestrian behaviour can change the carnage. That will never change.

It’s a proven fact that a stop sign has never saved a life.

When there is no stop sign, the car coming from the right has the right of way. That’s the way it works in most of the rest of the world.

Drivers should slow down, look for traffic, con-tinue straight or make the turn. It works perfectly. Little fuel wasted, little pollution created.

The elimination of stop signs around the world con-tinues because they are some of the highest polluters of our air. Every time a car has to come to a full stop, there is some brake dust. We don’t see it, but it’s there and wash-es in our creeks, rivers and lakes.

Every time a car has to accelerate from a full stop, the engine burns up to 50 times more fuel until cruis-ing speed is reached again. More fuel burned, more pol-lution in our air.

The municipal guidebook on traffic signs says that we need 500 vehicle movements in one hour on an intersec-tion in order to erect a stop sign. Please go and count.

It also says that there should never be any 3- or 4-way stop signs. They sim-ply shouldn’t exist. Is anyone listening?

Our world, the only home we have, is warming and we should not make it worse by

putting up more stop signs.Town councillors are the

last people we should ask for advice on traffic signs. They simply don’t have the knowl-edge or training. For that, we have our works department and people working there who have been trained in these matters.

Stop signs do not save lives, according to police, so the faster we get rid of them to save our planet, the better.

Regarding the intersection in Boxgrove, there is only one solution and that is to put in a roundabout. No stop signs, no traffic light, a simple, no service needed, roundabout. They cut pollution and colli-sions by up to 90 per cent.

Thanks for keeping us safe

I was waiting to pick up my daughter from the bus stop a couple of nights ago around 10:55 p.m.

I had parked on the side

of the road, had my hazard lights on and was waiting outside my car.

A police cruiser drove by and the next thing I know, he had turned around and stopped to ask me if every-thing was OK.

I told him I was waiting to pick up my daughter and he left.

I was relieved to know that Richmond Hill is still a safe place and York Regional Police officers stand by the motto of many police forces: “to serve and protect”.

Thank you once again to our police officers who work to keep our commu-nity safe.

Antonio Valente will never forget the day his elementary school prin-cipal crushed his dream.

His teacher asked the Grade 2 class to draw a picture of what they wanted to be when they got older.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” the principal asked the young Antonio.

“I want to be a florist,” Valente said. The principal chuckled, saying “boys don’t play with flowers!”

Valente gave up his dream of pursuing a career in floral design,

but never forgot his passion for posies and peonies.

“It was always pumping through my veins, and so was my love of gardening,” he now says.

He has been supply teaching for the York Region Catholic school board the past five years.

Six years ago, he began planting a special garden at home.

He started with dahlias, but soon added zinnias and roses. Suddenly, his neighbors were requesting bou-quets and he developed a small Sat-urday morning flower stand at the end of his driveway.

Today, the 33-year-old’s passion for flowers is paying off.

This year, the Thornhill man began bringing his bouquets to two different markets —— Waldorf Vil-lage Market in Thornhill and Toron-

to Botanical Gardens. He completely sold out nearly

every week.Today, he’s focused on a Floret

Scholarship he earned to attend a three-day workshop in May on flower farming in Washington.

He is thrilled about the scholar-ship, pointing out that Floret Flow-ers is a leader in organically grown flowers and a lucrative school in the flower world.

“A scholarship from Floret would help me make up for the lost time of not having pursued my floral pas-sions earlier, and show the world

that boys do, in fact, play with flow-ers,” he wrote in his application.

For now, neighbours still call on him to create bouquets and other flower arrangements for baby show-ers, weddings and special benefits.

Valente’s ultimate dream is to have a flower farm of his own.

You can admire more of Valente’s work on Instagram or at Waldorf Village Market (located inside the Toronto Waldorf School at 9100 Bathurst St, Thornhill) any Saturday morning or Toronto Botanical Gar-dens’ farmers market on Thursday afternoons (777 Lawrence Ave. E.).

Users don’t careabout borders,Shefman says

Chan and Shefman, along with Markham Council-lor Valerie Burke, have formed the Yonge Street North Group to lobby federal and provincial ministers, as well as Metrolinx, to get the 7.4-km extension built.

So far they’ve helped secure $10 million for studies and consultations and had the extension approved by the province for preliminary engineering.

They’ve also secured support from Markham, Rich-mond Hill and Vaughan councils to move the project forward and have met with provincial transportation and finance ministers.

Shefman said, “the people of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) should not be dependent on Toronto for rapid transit planning or decisions in our region. Just consider how far along that approach has got us today.”

He added that, “the problem with rapid transit plan-ning is that it is not regionally based. Transit users could care less about municipal borders. All they want to do is get to their destination as quickly, as efficiently and as cheaply as possible.”

The Thornhill councillor points out that Yonge Street has been an active project managed by VivaNext since 2008 and since the establishment of Metrolinx, it has been a priority project.

Shefman also says that in a recent Metrolinx report it was recommended to move the project to the pre-liminary design and engineering stage, adding, it is only waiting for provincial government funding.

Meanwhile, Chan said the “bashing of 905 by the 416 is counter-productive.”

He also said “Metrolinx, as the provincial agency with a mandate to address public transportation issues in the GTHA ought to engage all parties, ie., York Region Trans-portation Corporation, TTC, York Region and Toronto to have mature adult-like discussions on collaborative efforts to allevi-ate Yonge subway capacity issues without hinder-ing the northern extension that is already shovel-ready and shovel-worthy.”

Plans for the extension to Rich-mond Hill Centre at Hwy. 7, would see two new sta-tions built in Toronto (Cum-mer/Drewry sta-tion and Steeles station), with four built in York Region (Clark, Royal Orchard, Langstaff and Richmond Hill Centre stations).

The trio of councillors urges residents who want to see a subway built to southern York Region to write to Premier Kathleen Wynne; federal minister of infrastructure, Amarjeet Sohi; provincial Minister of Transportation MPP Steven Del Duca; and the president of Metrolinx, Bruce McCuaig.

Thornhill survivor paves way for potentially life-saving

cancer treatmentA Thornhill couple has helped

steer Rob Ford’s health in a poten-tially better direction.

Back in 2010, Yaron Panov, then 55, learned he had only a few months to live.

Doctors had diagnosed him with a form of malignant liposarcoma, the same rare and aggressive cancer that Toronto Councillor Rob Ford has.

Today, six years after doctors gave him that grim prognosis, Panov is alive and well.

After Panov’s wife, Dr. Rochelle Schwartz, learned that her husband only had months to live, she discov-ered a “precision chemotherapy” treatment.

This treatment relies on mouse ‘avatars’ — essentially your own personal medical guinea pig — to help oncologists identify the most effective treatment for a specific patient.

By testing various drug cocktails on the rodent, the technique spares the patient from enduring the pain-ful toxic effects of chemotherapies.

Local doctors had equated the animal models to “science fiction”. The new cancer treatment was developed in Baltimore and Israel.

The couple flew to the U. S. and went to a private company to try and save Yanov’s life.

The mice arrived four months later and testing suggested Panov should be given a colon cancer drug called Stivarga. It suppressed Panov’s tumour and kept the cancer at bay.

The Thornhill couple has paid nearly $350,000 for the treatment so far.

Ontario’s Medicare bureau, OHIP, refused to reimburse them for the bills for the experimental treatment, so the couple sold their home. Despite the financial toll and anguish, both Panov and Schwartz said it was worth it.

“I may not have a house, but I have a beautiful husband,” Dr. Schwartz said.

The TumorGraft process used on Panov represents “an opening for a better hope,” he said.

“At the end of the day, if it is money or life, you choose life,” he said. “This technology does exist and, for us, it is a turning point.”

The couple has since made it their mission to ensure other Cana-dians have access to the technology. Along with Schwartz’s medical part-ner, Dr. Sharla Lichtman, they have fundraised more than $1 million the past two years for the cause.

Their efforts led to the launch of the Panov Program trial at Mount Sinai Hospital, the first clinical site that has enrolled patients — includ-ing Ford — in the newly-opened study, which uses the U.S.-based Champions of Oncology’s ‘Tumor-Graft’ process.

The research initiative will test just how well Champions’ approach works. It will involve testing chemo-therapies on a cancer patient’s mice avatars and then applying those effective treatments to the patient.

The end goal will be to evaluate if the therapies perform as well on the patients as it did in their mice.

Still, the process isn’t a proven solution to prolonging life.

First, there are no guarantees that an implanted tumour will grow, although Champions’ track record suggests there is a roughly 65-per-cent chance. There are also cases where patients have died before the whole process — which takes four months — is completed.

“I really hope (Rob) has that time,” said Panov.

In light of his re-admission to Mount Sinai’s cancer ward for che-motherapy, Ford’s family launched a website last weekend called GetWellRobFord.com and invited the public to share their stories of cancer survival and support.

Six sent to hospital after fire, explosion in Markham

York police are suggesting that a fire that caused a number of evacua-tions erupted after an explosion.

Fire crews and York Regional Police were on scene Tuesday at the house fire on Douglas Haig Drive, near Steeles Avenue and McCowan Road, in Markham.

Reports suggest as many as six people, including a police officer and three children, were sent to hospital after the incident.

One person was reported to be in serious condition and was trans-ferred to Sunnybrook hospital.

The cause of the explosion, which took place just before 5 p.m., was not immediately clear.

YRP rescue 2 deer from lake

Police saved two deer from Lake Simcoe, near Keswick, Monday after the two animals ventured onto the thin ice, eventually crashing through and requiring help from York Region-al Police’s marine unit.

After receiving the call at 11:20 a.m., police arrived along with fire crews to find the animals 500 metres off shore, trying to get back up onto the ice, but repeatedly crashing back down.

“It was 17 degrees over the week-end,” Const. Laura Nicolle said of the unsafe ice conditions. “Apparently Bambi did not get our media releas-es.”

Kindred Spirits Orchestra present From Darkness to Light

Kindred Spirits Orchestra presents From Darkness to Light, the fourth concert of their subscription series, at Flato Markham Theatre on Friday, March 25 at 8 p.m.

Patrons can expect a display of artistic ingenuity, virtuosity and bravura from the orchestra, led by Maestro Kristian Alexander.

A feast for the ears will be served up with a Night on Bald Mountain as aperitif, followed by a hearty helping of Nielsen, a main course by Mahler, capped off with a complimentary glass of La Scala champagne after the con-cert.

Modest Mussorgsky’s tone poem Night on Bald Mountain paints a picturesque Russian folklore of witches who summon Satan upon the mountaintop. Never performed during Mussorgsky’s lifetime, the work was arranged by his colleague Rimsky-Korsakov and gained critical acclaim posthumously when set to

Disney’s Fantasia, which will be projected on a big screen at the theatre, while the piece is performed.

Carl Nielsen’s Concerto for Flute and Orchestra showcases the exceptional range and colours of Kindred’s Spirit’s own principal flutist, Rodney Gray, in the challenging and dynamic Danish concerto.

After refreshments and a question and answer session with Gray and Alexa Petrenko of Classical 96.3 FM, Gustav Mahler’s 4th Symphony is sure to inspire.

A light, classical first movement is con-trasted by a dance macabre in the second — where a solo violin is tuned a tone up to depict death playing a fiddle. The fourth movement showcases a child’s naive vision of heaven — with feasts, angels and saints — sung by 12-year old descant Alastair Thorburn-Vitols.

For more information and tickets, con-tact Flato Markham Theatre at 905-305-7469, www.MarkhamTheatre.ca or www.KSOrches-tra.ca

Newcomers to town united through digital storytellingBY KIM ZARZOUR

[email protected]

They come from vastly different worlds — he a successful, busy busi-nessman from Beijing, she a young Syrian mother whose homeland has been torn apart.

But today, what they have in common is far more powerful: they have both travelled across the world to make Richmond Hill their home.

Now, as they laugh together like old friends in the Welcome Centre on Yonge Street, they say they wish to share their stories to help others understand what it is like to uproot your life and move to a new land.

Charlie Cheng and Samar Mak-houl are among six newcomers who took part in a digital storytelling project, creating short films about their immigration experience that will be aired at the upcoming Rich-mond Hill Cultural Summit March 29 at the theatre.

Each year, the town takes on a “celebrated stories” project to high-light what makes Richmond Hill unique. Last year, the films focused on icons such as the Good Broth-ers, Jackie Richardson and the Royal Canadian Air Farce; the year before looked at history and culture of the town.

This year, the town wanted something more community-based and decided to look at immigration, says Gillian Hards, cultural services coordinator.

“Richmond Hill is now 54 per cent composed of immigrants. We wanted to put a face to those sta-tistics and look at what life is like beyond those numbers.”

Hards says they connected with the North York Community House, (NYCH), a settlement agency with facilitators trained to provide digital workshops.

They also partnered with York Region’s Welcome Centre Immi-grant Services, which helped them

find participants involved in the language program who were willing to take on the week-long project.

Cheng and Makhoul, along with four newcomers from Iraq, China, Syria and Iran, started out nervous-ly, with just a basic understanding that they were each going to make a movie, but as the week went on, they say they created a close bond — along with two to four-minute films about their journeys.

The process of immigrating on its own is a challenge, and when you are leaving a country that was torn apart by poverty or strife, it is espe-cially difficult, Hards says.

NYCH helped the newcomers learn the skills they would need for the project — storytelling, script writing, videography, storyboard-ing. Rabia Din, program manager, says it also helped them feel com-fortable sharing their stories in their own voices, despite their language challenges.

“Sometimes, it is the first oppor-tunity they have to tell their stories. It needs to feel safe and confidential for them to be sharing such deep experiences.”

NYCH has been working with Toronto community groups for six years producing more than 400 such films that are shared with teachers and administration staff at schools.

Not only do participants have a chance to bond and share, Din says, the resulting films provide a tool for education and advocacy.

“We wanted them to give an honest experience — but they all had a nice sense of the hope and difficulty,” Hards says.

“The stories they tell are some-times emotional, really moving and hopeful,” Hards says. “There is a message of optimism here.”

In Cheng’s case, it is a story of change.

It begins with his life in China, working at a good job, but working

“almost all the time”.His wife and children told him

they wanted to immigrate to Can-ada for their education and he, at first, was reluctant to leave. But after three years apart, he knew it was time to join them.

He remembers his mother’s tears, the 13-hour flight that landed him in a new world buried in deep snow, without friends or language to communicate.

“I didn’t know where my future was,” he recalls. “I felt so lost.”

Then, he says, he discovered the Welcome Centre, a settlement agency that introduced him to other newcomers and helped him find his way.

“Even though we are of different backgrounds, we understand and encourage each other.”

Cheng says he has come to love Richmond Hill, a place where he can count on his neighbours, where he is able to slow down from his busy work schedule and spend time with his family. With new confidence, he is making plans to open his own business, design his own life and create a successful future.

All this he relates in a film he has created with his new digital story-telling skills — as does Makhoul, whose story of leaving Syria is very different.

In a film that is a poetic tribute to her homeland and new future, she describes a troubled country that is more to her than heartache and loss.

“To us, it’s different” ... it is child-hood memories, the taste of bread, the sound of church bells, she says.

But when the sky turned dark, and began “raining blood and tears”, she knew she had to leave.

In her new home, Richmond Hill, the sky is blue and sun shines again, and “the rain brings new life”.

Makhoul says she now loves her new home so much she has encour-

aged her family join her.“I told them if they are good

workers and good persons, this country is good for you.”

Mudhaffar Al-Saigh created a short film that describes the pain of leaving behind a successful career for a safer life for his family.

A professor of animal husbandry, nutrition and health with more than 100 published scientific articles, once chosen as a top scientist in Iraq, life was good until war tore his world apart.

His family fled to Lebanon and then to Canada, but to support them he continued to work, despite the dangers. There were explosions daily and he worried for his students — and missed his family terribly.

He joined them in July in a safe new community called Richmond Hill where everything was close by

and “most importantly, there were nice people”.

Today his three daughters, who are all engineers, are endeavouring to find careers in their field. He, too, wants to carry on his career.

“Back home I worked a lot. I loved my job,”pulling out a thick CV that he is working to condense into a resume more suited to Canadian employers.

He says he was glad to share his story in a film, because he wants Canadians to understand newcom-ers better, what they have been through to come here and what their hopes and dreams are.

“We want just two things: peace and good health.”

Makhoul also wants to spread the word with her digital story that Syria is more than just refugees and the hard struggle for survival.

Charlie Cheng (left) and Samar Makhoul are among six newcomers who took part in a digital storytelling project, creating short films about their immigration experience that will be aired at the upcoming Richmond Hill Cultural Summit March 29. Their experiences are worlds apart, yet now they are friends, and both keen boosters of Richmond Hill.

community without a leader is just a random group.

For some within Brad-ford West Gwillimbury,

Giuseppe Strazzeri, more com-monly known as “G”, was that kind of leader.

It didn’t matter where he was or what he was doing, you could always find the friendly mortgage agent with a smile on his face. And that’s how many people will remember him, after his sud-den passing on the morning of March 2, sending a wave of grief throughout BWG.

A resident of Bradford for more than 14 years, Strazzeri quickly become involved in mul-tiple groups and fundraisers.

If you’re familiar with the Bradford Social Network-ing Association on Facebook, then it’s likely you had become familiar with Strazzeri’s upbeat demeanour and ongoing drive to connect local residents and businesses alike. From Tequila Friday’s at Don Cherry’s Sports Bar & Grill to the annual BSNA Baseball Tournament held every September, Strazzeri left a truly positive imprint on BWG.

“This is a man who the town should never forget,” Carlos Costa wrote on a Facebook post. Costa is one of many close

Giuseppe Strazzeri a true community leader

Afriends Strazzeri had made while working – and playing – within BWG.

“A man full of life. He will be greatly missed by the town and many friends,” wrote another resident.

Born in Sicily, Italy, Strazzeri moved to Canada in 1966 with his parents at the age of four. He moved around many times throughout his childhood, meet-ing many amazing people along the way.

‘It’s a proud moment

when you help someone

achieve their goals and

dreams, especially when

they thought it could

never be done.’

But when he arrived in Brad-ford, he knew it was something special. During his first five years, he sat back and watched the flow of the community, eventually jumping on the chance to open a storefront business.

In order to learn what BWG was all about, Strazzeri took the time to attend town meetings and begin building a large net-

work of clients, colleagues and friends.

Eventually, he became involved with the Bradford Board of Trade, where he held many positions including executive director, vice-president of mem-bership and vice-president of community relations and gov-ernment affairs.

In a profile written for the BBT, Strazzeri expressed his thoughts regarding linking peo-ple within the community.

“It’s a proud moment when you help someone achieve their goals and dreams, especially when they thought it could never be done.”

Strazzeri certainly helped many within BWG achieve their dreams.

As days and weeks go by, now without the bright light of Strazzeri, friends continue to remember him by supporting one another, reminiscing about the times they spent with him and the kind of impact he made on BWG.

“He changed my life and, in a way, I believe he saved it,” said Nicole Kim, who worked closely with Strazzeri on a number of projects through the BSNA.

“I truly would not be the out-going person I am today if he did not believe in me. He was my best friend, who never judged anyone. I will miss him.” Giuseppe Strazzeri

“Adored by children, universally respected and an inspiration to her peers, Mrs. McCluskey was a tireless volunteer, quick to defl ect the praise heaped on her.”
