They found a solution in a 1,435-square-foot condo in the nearby Westminster-Branson neighbourhood in North York corner condo suite had been completely renovated And its huge wraparound balcony with two sliding doors offered beautiful south and west views of surrounding park extended the indoor living space to the outdoors I sit there all the time,” says Janice Niss “It’s lovely and I’ve made planters out there “You basically get the warm sun all morning on the balcony,” adds Derrick it’s beautiful to see the changing of the trees in R Ross Lord Park.” They can even see the CN Tower in the distance we don’t have to go anywhere to watch them!” adds his wife One feature that sold the couple on the condo was the updated kitchen and its beautiful walk-in pantry “I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and it’s an open-concept plan so I can see the view outside when I’m working in there.” The dining room is open to the kitchen “You can easily sit to 10 to 12 people in the dining room,” says Derrick “Each of our three children has a boyfriend and now we have a grandchild.” One of their sons brings his dog to visit — and the condo building allows owners to have pets up to a certain weight the Nisses hardly ever have to use air-conditioning because of the breeze that blows through as the unit is bathed in the warmth of the winter sun The Nisses have two cars and their condo has two parking spots but they don’t have to use their cars for many daily errands “One of my sisters lives in Thornhill and I can walk to her place in 10 minutes,” says Janice “There’s a bus stop right outside the condo building “It’s a very established area,” adds her husband. “There are stores all around, with three or more supermarkets within walking distance. We’re beside R. Ross Gordon Park and a city park with a playground for children.” They don’t even have to leave their condo building grounds to enjoy a walk The condo property has extensive gardens and paths The realtor says: “The building is in a fantastic location, close to transit, schools, community centre, parks and walking trails,” says Brian Cowan you can see the CN Tower with unobstructed views while (you’re) enjoying a morning coffee on the terrace.” Cowan says the rooms are generously sized and offer a great option for a buyer looking for a three-bedroom condo with a larger footprint and modern feel but could be a dressing room or yoga studio who are moving to be near to their grandchild say the condo is ideal for people who want a low-maintenance lifestyle I just drive out of the parking garage and the driveways are plowed,” he says “I don’t have the hassle of shovelling snow or moving the lawn and she’s been able to continue that with her planters on the balcony.” Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: Account processing issue - the email address may already exist Invalid password or account does not exist Submitting this form below will send a message to your email with a link to change your password An email message containing instructions on how to reset your password has been sent to the email address listed on your account As Sherman Campus in North York marks the 40th year of Holocaust Education Week they are eagerly awaiting the opening of the first Toronto Holocaust Museum Construction on the museum in the neighbourhood of Westminster-Branson is currently underway and it’s expected to be open in Spring of 2023 Executive Director of the Toronto Holocaust Museum Dara Solomon said they’ve been working on the museum for the last three years “The foundation of the museum is the voice of Holocaust survivors we are approaching the era where we will no longer have survivors left to tell their stories,” explained Solomon Solomon said the programming they have been doing during Holocaust Education Week for the last 40 years will be integrated into the museum students will get the opportunity to sit down and hear from survivors will allow everyone to hear their stories for years to come “The museum is a technologically immersive environment So there are 11 testimony kiosks so you can always hear from a survivor There are also interactive maps so that people understand the geography of the Holocaust,” said Solomon It will also serve as a memory site for descendant families affirming the enduring legacy of their ancestors Given an influx of anti-semitic incidents that has been happening across Canada officials at the Sherman Campus say these resources are timely “It is an incredibly valuable tool in combating this unfortunate rise of antisemitism We feel that Holocaust education is a great tool to raise awareness about what happens when certain powers go unchecked,” Solomon added Events for Holocaust Education Week will go until November 8th and will include a range of programs that include live performances More information on the programming can be found on their website.

rally outside the Branson Division of North York General Hospital Wednesday May 10 to protest the closure of the Urgent Care Centre The impending loss of a vital health care facility will severely affect the Bathurst-Finch community warns a spokesperson for an advocacy group strongly opposed to the closure of the Branson Ambulatory Centre and the information within may be out of date A spokesperson for an advocacy group said the upcoming closure of the Branson Ambulatory Care Centre represents a major loss for the Bathurst-Finch community Kenneth Schafer said he’s unsure how North York General Hospital will be able to effectively treat patients following the shuttering of the Centre The hospital had announced earlier this year it will close down Branson which it leased from Advent Corporation for 19 years and transfer services to its main hospital campus and other locations within the area “The (Westminster-Branson) community has come to rely on the services the centre offers all in one spot,” said Schafer co-chair of the Branson Community Action Group (BCAG) which met with NYGH leadership this week to discuss the closure the hospital closed Branson’s Urgent Care Centre which treats non-life threatening injuries and transferred the clinic to its renovated emergency room at the main campus Also moving to the main NYGH campus are Branson’s radiology department and joint assessment centre The hospital also agreed to set up a temporary “primary care clinic” within Branson to serve patients who don’t have a family physician which will operate until the facility closes Schafer said the closing of the centre also spells the end of medical professionals located in the same building “networking” on treatment options you could get an X-ray and put it in a cast,” he said “I’m not sure that it will be possible now.” He’s also concerned the transfer of some 22,000 annual users of the urgent care centre to NYGH’s already busy emergency room will result in lengthy waits for treatment “The hospital claims it can duplicate the level of service offered at Branson but we believe people are going to be forced to wait in the emergency room for hours to be seen by a doctor,” said Schafer the hospital confirmed the closure of the Branson Urgent Care Centre “We are all in agreement that enhancing access to care is important and we will continue to work with key stakeholders including the community and our Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) to find ways to best meet the needs of the Westminster-Branson community,” reads the statement from NYGH CEO Tim Rutledge NYGH insisted last year local residents won’t be overly impacted by the closure of the urgent care centre providing numbers to The Mirror indicating a near-double digit drop in patient visits from 2010 to 2016 coupled with the expense required to renovate Branson’s aging facilities and the fact Advent wants to redevelop the site It’s not yet disclosed where services still offered at Branson will be relocated once the Ambulatory Care Centre fully closes These incidents were reported by police in the past week and reportedly occurred in the past two weeks There were 15

Read our Privacy notice Virgin Atlantic’s boss has revealed he never meets his British Airways counterpart alone because he does “not want to get caught out” Shai Weiss said he has “professional respect” for Sean Doyle but is cautious because of the dirty tricks scandal In the early 1990s, British Airways was accused by Virgin Atlantic of hacking its computer records so it could obtain its passengers’ details and attempt to poach them A protracted legal affair ended with British Airways having to pay Virgin Atlantic founder Sir Richard Branson large damages and having to fork out for punitive legal costs Mr Weiss was asked about his relationship with Mr Doyle on stage at the Airlines 2024 conference in Westminster on Monday. The 56-year-old said: “I’ve never met Sean on a one-to-one basis, it’s just not happening. “I remember the dirty tricks campaign launched by British Airways. I’m not going to get caught out. “I have professional respect for him, we co-operate when we need to, and we try to kick the shit out of them in the marketplace.” Mr Weiss said the UK is “privileged to have two very strong carriers”, and believes both airlines are “better” because of the competition they provide to each other. I respect British Airways, but our job is to keep ourselves fresh, ahead of the competition and to keep them guessing He cited the example of the carriers working together to oppose increases in charges at Heathrow Airport. He went on: “In Europe, there are no (other) countries with two flag carriers, and that does wonders for the service that the consumers in the United Kingdom receive, to the fact that we always try to be better, and that from time to time we actually co-operate. “I respect British Airways, but our job is to keep ourselves fresh, ahead of the competition and to keep them guessing.” The York Centre

vibrant cultural scene While affordability remains a major challenge for the city’s home buyers access to top universities and a strong job market are just two of the reasons many still focus their

Excel Source: Toronto Regional Real Estate Board has the highest value score of all neighbourhoods in the city this year the average home price in Black Creek was $705,222 up 51% from five years earlier—yet nearly $400,000 less than the Toronto average Black Creek Community Farm is a nine-acre urban farm that hosts events sells discounted organic produce and includes four-season greenhouses and a forest trail The neighbourhood is also home to the reimagined Village at Black Creek an open-air museum celebrating local and Indigenous history Public transit options are readily available providing access to downtown Toronto and surrounding areas is part of the Line 1 Yonge–University subway line and includes a regional bus terminal Located along the Etobicoke–Brampton border Steeles Avenue and Toronto Pearson International Airport making it ideal for commuters and frequent travellers The community features the 250-acre Humber Arboretum and the scenic Humber River Woodbine Mall and Fantasy Fair are just five minutes away The average home price in West Humber–Clairville was $869,927 at the end of 2024 secondary and alternative schools within its borders Kingsview Village–The Westway neighbourhood is gaining momentum in Toronto’s Etobicoke region The average home price was $869,862 at the end of 2024 It offers strong investment potential for home buyers particularly for families looking to put down roots Kingsview Village–The Westway retains a classic suburban feel with wide streets the highest share among Toronto’s top three neighbourhoods.  Toronto’s real estate market progressed at a more measured pace in 2024 With no spring surge in real estate activity “Sellers who needed to sell were often willing to accept lower offers, providing strategic buyers the opportunity to secure properties at more favourable prices,” says eXp real estate agent Dan Chiasson Condominiums were a good option for buyers priced out of detached homes An oversupply of condo listings fostered a balanced market Successful sales relied heavily on presentation—well-staged units attracted prompt offers while poorly presented properties struggled Many single renters and first-time buyers purchased studio one-bedroom and one-bedroom-plus-den condos priced between $400,000 and $600,000 With rents averaging about $2,000 per month in 2024 (for a two-bedroom apartment) buying a studio became a practical entry point into the market “These options weren’t really available when the market was more competitive,” Chiasson says.  two-bedroom condos were also highly sought-after “Buyers acted quickly when finding one within budget particularly those focused on long-term investment or extra living space.” Answer a few quick questions to get a personalized quote Chiasson says he’s surprised by the number of buyers who have already made use of the new $1.5-million cap for mortgage insurance he expects the $900,000-to-$1.5-million market to stay competitive “There aren’t enough homes in this price range,” he says.  Chiasson says home buyers who have trouble breaking into the market will likely seek family help to enter the $2-million-plus market or expand their search beyond Toronto.  “With increasing living costs and rising debt obligations even high earners are exploring ways to maximize their purchasing power in 2025,” he says.  It was

few months now We officially opened in October and have been fully operational since late January Unison and Downsview Legal Services moved in in January and we’ve seen quite a difference with the numbers coming in We held our first community open house Feb People were able to tour the building and access all our services JVS hosted a job fair recently and the turnout was overwhelming Counselling and settlement services have seen a steady flow The Bathurst-Finch Hub is part of the United Way’s Building Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy We provide access to community space for people looking to run programs and we provide access in a community where access is limited or not provided Are people surprised to learn it’s located in one of the city’s 13 priority neighbourhoods but they know what the issues facing the community are The Bathurst-Finch community is very engaged Employment is a major issue with newcomers in the area Do you feel work needs to be done to explain what “priority” means The area has a lot of newcomers and employment is a big issue Priority doesn’t necessarily mean violence What does it mean for the community to have a place like the hub There were always health services at Bathurst and Finch but not in a specific location If people wanted everything in one location they would have to go to Lawrence and Allan Downsview Legal Services was in the Wilson and Sheppard area North York Community House was at Bathurst and Sheppard and now it’s at the hub People are coming to the building to see the dentist People appreciate the convenience of coming to one place It speaks volumes of the work of agencies providing services to the community If it’s not convenient or easy access people won’t go It’s the only one of eight hubs to be built from scratch People who have seen it appreciate the care that has been taken We have a steering committee for the community garden we launched back in October We have programs addressing food security

The designation meant the community of about 24,000 in Ward 10 received a new community hub and health centre development renovated facilities and additional recreation and employment supports And while no existing resources will be taken away under the new framework it will mean the additional cash will stop flowing That’s something the local councillor James Pastnernak plans to fight “This is not the time to make a community like Westminster-Branson ineligible for future funding,” said Pasternak “It’s true we’ve made some good headway over the last few years You keep the funding to make sure there’s no sliding back.” This will be one of the battlefronts when the issue comes to council next month Councillor Gord Perks explained: “Any time we try to target investments in some areas of the city and not others but I am confident that the research model is so robust it will be easy to convince my colleagues that this is the kind of investment that needs to be made.” Perks is one of

these factors in the same way Under the priority neighbourhoods initiative access to services was one of the main issues at hand and South Parkdale is well served by a library and community centre Some socio-economic factors were taken into consideration before but it was a much more simplistic approach that didn’t always capture what was really happening on the ground Take for example Thorncliffe Park: out of 140 communities in Toronto it is 131st from the top under the revamped criteria “The earlier criteria failed to recognize some of the genuine challenges that a community like Thorncliffe faces,” said local councillor John Parker The former measures put considerable stock in education levels as well as the number of single-parent homes Thorncliffe residents score average in terms of the number of residents who graduated from high school and post-secondary institutions those diplomas were earned outside of Canada and haven’t translated into well-paying careers in Canada “many families are crowded together in dwelling units,” Parker said “The new approach tries to address that reality and measure exactly what’s happening on the ground.” Toronto’s executive director of social development said the major benefit of the new criteria is that staff will be able to track the impact of investment The previous iteration wasn’t based on data in the same way so it was impossible to quantify evidence of progress — even though every Toronto neighbourhood is assessed based on the same 15 indicators “(The new version) allows us to identify and measure how people are doing in our neighbourhoods … then we can go back The goal is to one day be able to use the data to track the path a community is taking and know what investments need to be made to head off a crisis before it happens who is losing one priority neighbourhood and gaining another “These programs are put in place not so that they will be everlasting; it’s so that they will respond to needs and challenges we can move on and help where it’s needed,” he said one of the neighbourhoods dropping off the list It’s difficult to measure the financial impact of the priority designation About $12 million in capital funding has been earmarked for these Neighbourhood Improvement Areas a similar investment to that made by the city eight years ago The city partners with numerous charitable organizations and community groups to leverage those dollars Mayor Rob Ford told reporters Monday he plans to oppose additional priority designations Progressive Conservative candidate Michael Kerzner

who co-founded DNA Labs Canada received 12,875 votes or 46 per cent of the vote came in second with 8,984 votes or 32 per cent of the vote placed third with 3,935 votes (14 per cent) This has been an honour and a journey of a lifetime,” Kerzner said in an interview It was about a concept that might be old but I feel that it’s still relevant today that we should do service over self We should serve our community selflessly.” Kerzner said his goal is to engage as many people as possible in the “diverse riding” which stretches from Bathurst Street to Jane Street in North York “One of my greatest strengths was bringing people together through interfaith dialogue and to promoting tolerance and this is something that I look forward to doing.” York Centre is home to Toronto’s highest number of Filipino Russian and Jewish residents and includes the neighbourhoods of Westminster-Branson Downsview and part of York University Heights Kerzner said he pledges to listen and lead and “I want to do

The movie, officially announced in July and is expected to be released in theaters on September 20 who returns alongside original cast members including Maggie Smith admits the film’s script was not what he was expecting “I was very surprised about the angle that Julian went with I was also amazed that he managed to get the entire 22-[member] cast to have their own story within the contained two-hour movie,” said Leech Leech promised that fans of the series will be satisfied with the movie’s story lines but also advised them to bring plenty of tissues to the theater was well known for heartbreaking deaths—like Lady Sybil dying of eclampsia soon after giving birth or Matthew Crawley being killed in a car accident after a visit to his wife “It’s Julian—you’re going to have tears,” said Leech saying that the strong friendship between in-laws Branson and Lady Mary will be highlighted in the film The two became each other’s confidants on the series the one person whose judgment the other always trusted “You’ll see more of Branson and Lady Mary together,” said Leech Re-adjusting to the Downton grind presented a few challenges: “It was amazing when I came around the corner and then I was met with the same feeling of we are going to be around that dining-room table for 48 hours straight doing the same lines of dialogue,’” Leech said good-naturedly about returning to Downton’s Highclere Castle set ‘Great thing we knew we were only going to be there for six weeks compared to six or eight months!’ That kind of kept us going.” Perhaps Leech was also bolstered by hopes for a happier ending for Branson in the film. By the time the series aired its last episode, Branson had fought prejudice and became a fully embraced member of the Crawley family. Viewers also got a hint of a potential romance between him and Laura Edmunds (Antonia Bernath), who caught Lady Edith’s wedding bouquet Will he find true contentment in the movie that was one of my hopes that I had at the end of the series in Season 6 “So one would hope that it would happen in the movie.” — Steven Spielberg’s new West Side Story will go back to basics — TV shows suggest a witch can’t be both powerful and good—but why? — Podcast and TV fixations converge with a new revolution — The highs and lows of fame for Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman — The myth of Megyn Kelly Looking for more?
