People who have agendas, and the media seem to be the only at many, election statement events. At today’s the only people who showed up were the politicians the media, and one person with an agenda that again wanted the hear of the elected persons, and the about to elected. I was the person with the agenda.
 
 
  I also wanted a media friend to take some cut in shots of me talking to see how my practicing and delivery was improving.
 
 
 Why no supporters?
 
 Although Mr Morneau is a 1st time candidate, his record of service to various communities is admirable.

Media arrive for scrum on Standing up for Ontarian’s statement, at Corktown park

The podium installed in the children’s play area.

Media Parking earlier

Lost City TV truck, as to parking

What’s most interesting is the out of the way location deep in the park.

I will post a photo during the taping of the statement to show how many real people come to these statements.

I really hope people attend my own groups statement later today, about lack of support for males in crisis.

TORONTO—A new neighbourhood project at Perth Avenue and Sterling Road in Toronto has been given the final seal of approval.
 
 

 
 Lower Junction redevelopment project unveiled
 Called Lower JCT. (Lower Junction), the project is located in the south end of the Junction Triangle, and construction is to start immediately, explains a release from developer Castlepoint Numa.
 
 Once completed, Lower JCT. will provide space for up to 2,500 jobs, be home for 1,000 residents, and support a number of community improvements, including a new park and open spaces, a new daycare facility, and affordable housing.
 
 The redevelopment of the eight-acre site on will support several of the City of Toronto’s key objectives including the realignment of Perth Avenue, the preservation of a large parcel of land for employment uses, the restoration of a designated heritage building, and the remediation of a former brownfield site, the release reads.
 
 Castlepoint Numa is leading the site redevelopment. Its partner RioTinto Alcan recently completed its clean up of contamination related to its industrial past. A comprehensive soil remediation program, which began a few years ago, is now complete.
 
 “Lower JCT. will transform its industrial heritage into a creative mixed-use district that provides diverse employment opportunities, a range of housing types and tenures, including larger units to support families, all anchored by a new community park,” says Elsa Fancello, development manager of Castlepoint Numa in a statement.
 
 The next steps include the rehabilitation and restoration of the Automotive Building, a heritage-designated industrial building and the new home of the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art and other tenants in the arts and digital media sector.
 
 “Castlepoint Numa with its partner Greybrook has committed to invest tens of millions of dollars into restoring and preserving this unique building and is targeting completion by the end of 2016,” the release continues.
 
 “Several other new buildings are in the works and an international team of four architects including Chris Peck of Los Angeles, Toronto’s Peter Clewes of architectsAlliance, Prishram Jain of TACT Architecture and Gianni Ria of Page + Steele / IBI Group Architects have been selected and the detailed design process is currently underway for Lower JCT.’s first development phases.”
 
 In all, the plan will be approximately 565,000 square feet and will include new office, retail, cultural, and commercial spaces and 540,000 square feet of new residential, supporting a range of different housing types and tenures. It will also feature over an acre of new parks and open spaces throughout the site.

The TTC Child Proof-of-Age Card is available for children who are tall for their age. The card lets TTC drivers and collectors verify that the child is 12 or younger and eligible to ride for free. Every September we send a quantity of these cards to every elementary and secondary school in Toronto that has 11 and 12 year old students.

To obtain one of these Proof-of-Age Cards at your school, please see your school administration. In addition to their availability at schools, you can get a Child Proof-of-Age Card by calling TTC Customer Service at 416-393-3030.

 Got to be proud of the Mr Ross, historical society for such plain talk. Hopefully he keeps up being outspoken the community needs it.
