to the Mount Olive – Silverstone – Jamestown community in northwest Toronto there is no shortage of spots to gather but two community centres off of Kipling Avenue are working to provide vital services and fill potential gaps Built in 1987, the North Kipling Community Centre became the main municipal facility in this area its footprint has grown as has the need to expand the diversity of its programming “We definitely want to make sure that whoever walks through our front door feels welcomed and safe,” Annabella Ferrone a recreation supervisor with the City of Toronto told CityNews during a recent tour of the facility which is located between Finch Avenue West and Steeles Avenue West has many amenities The activities for all age groups are as varied as the spaces “We offer programs like hair braiding all dance programs (as well as) fitness for older adults such as yoga and Pilates,” Ferrone said In an area dubbed the “Youth Zone,” outreach workers are around to help participants with many of those who have been through the program going on to work for the city Building skills and having a free drop-in setting are top priorities for the zone “The Amp programming teaches the youth how to DJ types of different music engineering … We also have programs like ‘Chop It Like It’s Hot’ (that) teaches them how to cook We also have a seed program that teaches them how to basically run their own type of garden,” Ferrone explained One of the many sports offered out of North Kipling is basketball and the ability to participate in structured and drop-in programs here helped a current NBA star hone his skills the Toronto Raptors forward who grew up in Mount Olive still comes by to visit years after taking part in programs as a teenager “Everybody’s able to go up to him so that’s very nice,” Ferrone said After being drafted in 2021 by the Toronto Raptors, Banton recognized the role the North Kipling Community Centre as well as the Rexdale Community Hub played in his life and in his athletic development “Just being able to take advantage of those community centres to just keep yourself off the street I feel like that was the blessing for me that I had,” Banton told reporters “Kids being able to see me … I go to the gyms that they went to all these years and I know a lot of people and everybody knows it’s like a tight-knit family growing up around (the neighbourhood).” the executive director of the Rexdale Community Hub said Banton has also made an impact within its walls “He’s definitely a community pride and he’s been inspiring so many youth,” she said Just minutes away from the North Kipling Community Centre the Hub has been home to more than 30 different community and recreational groups and services dealing with various needs since 2010 Munawar and her team worked in overdrive to help the area during to COVID-19 pandemic to provide much-needed supports “We are basically focused on seniors and single parent families and we provided them over 70,000 food hampers and hot meals,” she recalled emphasizing ongoing problems with food insecurity in the community “This is something that the government should be looking into it because this is a very serious issue in that community People who were already actually doing precarious employment before the pandemic and then now they have to do more jobs to put food on the table and roof over their head.” Munawar added getting people online also proved to be a big need “Many families they were struggling with internet Many families did not have computers in their homes,” she said The Rexdale Community Hub also participated in a so-called “pod” project to connect with people who were experiencing social isolation during the pandemic a neighbourhood engagement coordinator with the Rexdale Community Hub said there are three biggest issues they consistently deal with today “The lack of employment opportunities for many of us housing remains a major limitation for a lot of people staff at the Hub said they want to keep helping neighbourhood residents fulfill the goals of the community we’ve had over a million visits,” Munawar said “This space actually entertains to everyone in the family so we offer so many programs and they’re all under one roof so it’s not actually people having to travel.” Malhi added they’ve been working with youth in different ways to increase

Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Somali community activist Sarah Ali works out of an office at Kingsview Village Junior School on Tuesday The overwhelming majority Toronto residents who speak Somali live in central Etobicoke They also face an inordinate amount of challenges even those who are second- or third-generation Canadians The overwhelming majority of 2016 Census respondents in Toronto who said they speak Somali live in central Etobicoke in the Kingsview-Village-The Westway neighbourhood south of Highway 401 and north of The Westway and St Census respondents who live in Toronto who identified as Somali-speaking are the highest in number in five Etobicoke neighbourhoods including Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown mostly of second and now third generations who live in the Kingsview Village-The Westway neighbourhood face challenges: insufficient youth programs with many college and university graduates unable to find secure Without sufficient youth support and activities career-related employment for newly graduated twentysomethings third-generation Canadian of Somali descent and area resident “Everything is the need,” the mother of three said recently at Kingsview Village Junior School a community and model school she called an exception for its strong after-school math and basketball programs for its students “Agencies need more funding and support to sustain their programs It causes many children and youth to roam around because they have no place to go entrepreneurial community with nowhere to go.” The Somali Workers Network is one of several diversity networks of the Toronto and Region Labour Council Canada’s oldest and largest labour union with 205,000 members unionized workers concerned with social justice issues formed the network to build bridges between the labour movement and Canadians of Somali descent the City of Toronto identified Kingsview Village-The Westway as one of 31 neighbourhoods known as Neighbourhood Improvement Areas because they fall behind the Neighbourhood Equity Score Low income is a reality for 25 per cent of the area’s population of 22,000 residents higher than the 20 per cent rate of low income across all of Toronto Data indicates 42.5 per cent of children younger than six and 39.6 per cent of children and youth younger than 18 are considered low income 22.9 per cent of those aged 18 to 64 and 11 per cent of seniors 65 and older are low income The low-income measure after tax is $22,133 for singles and $44,266 for four-person families Ali makes the point that Somalis who fled the country’s civil war in the 1990s to immigrate to Canada were largely well-educated but weren’t successful in having their foreign qualifications and credentials recognized in their new home “You had highly-educated people – engineers teachers – fleeing the war without their papers which led them to minimum-wage jobs in Canada which led to depression and being unable to support their families,” Ali said That phenomenon of well-educated people unable to find work in their chosen country is now also a reality for second- and third-generation Canadians of Somali descent “The media portrays us as violent,” Ali said “But people who live in other areas of the city and outside Toronto why are they successful; because we had the resources like everyone else “Our Somali brothers and sisters do not have the resources and have fallen through the cracks.” Those seeking jobs or even enrolment in programs face discrimination “(Discrimination because of) postal code is a fact; it’s not a joke or a myth,” she said Mental illness among young Canadians of Somali descent is an “epidemic,” said Abdi Hagi Yusuf “Stress and mental illness is high among our children when they can’t get jobs,” he said “They need to see even one or two children hired by city parks and recreation there is a belief this is pure targeting (against the community).” The Canadian and Ontario governments’ support of Syrian refugees is worlds apart from the experience of Somali refugees when they fled civil war in the 1990s for a new life in Canada the government is supporting the whole family and the men are upgrading their skills,” she said “If Somali refugees had had the same opportunities resources and funding the government is giving Syrian refugees is a journalist in Etobicoke reporting hard news politics and
