KEY breaks new ground at Toronto Western!
In a welcome piece of
cooperation, Toronto
Western Hospital and
Kensington Environmental
Youth (KEY) have got their
respective acts together. The
Hospital is turning over a
piece of the Leonard Street
parking lot to the youth
project as a base for its
ambitious community
gardening and other environmental
work. In return,
KEY will clean up and
garden the edges of the
Leonard lot.
The Hospital is only
months away from unveiling
its plans for the redevelopment
of the Western site
(watch for a meeting in mid­
September). These plans
will almost certainly involve
a more community friendly
look to the hospital's Nassau
Street face. Giving KEY
access to the lot launches the
dialogue.

TALKING DRUM
Edito(s
Notebook
With the partial assistance of a
$650,000 research grant from
CSIS, DRUM has just completed
a major poll of all the
regular readers of this editorial
column. The goal of the poll
was to find oot whether these
readers prefer philosophical
editorials (like last month's
essay on pigs, lilies and fences)
or hot-headed, hot-tempered
political diatribes (like the one I
was going to write this month).
The results of the poll (accurate
to within one block, nine
neighbourhoods out of ten) were
surprising. Fully seventy-jive
percent of my regular readers
prefer the philosophical kind!
Sounds like a clear mandate,
right? Yes indeed, except for
one thing. All three of them
have wisely gone away for the
summer.
I'm hot as hell.

cake from My Market Bakery and
major food contributions from King's

The plaque never actually got

But it will. And meanwhile the day will
stay etched in many memories.
Dates change, but plans don't
Date Change
In February the Kensington Festival
announced that this year's Summer
Festival would be on the weekend of
August 14 & 15, but when the Festival
Committee approached the city's Works
and Emergency Services Department, the
city informed it that they now had a
permit application from another group for
the closure of the north part of Kensington
Avenue on August 14 and 15, 1999.
In order not to clash with the
other group's plans, the Festival Committee
decided to move the Kensington
Market Summer Festival to the 21st and
22nd of August.
The Plans
The Market has a proud tradition of
summer carnivals and street festivals
dating back to the early eighties. These
Festivals have varied widely in scope,
from very ambitious, market-\vide
events, to more small-scale affairs. The
flame has flickered from time to time but
it has never gone out.
Activities during the t\vo day
Festival will take place throughout the
Market. Many of the Saturday events
will take place in Bellevue Square Park,
Sonya's park and along Augusta Avenue.
On Sunday, the street party kicks off.
when Kensington Avenue closes down.
As in years past, the Festival will include
the usual eclectic Market mix of music,
dance, graphic art, fashion, recipe
hunts, food, historical tours, theatre
children's activities and spoken word
performances.
Musical performers confirmed
to date include the Nationals,
John Borra and the Rank Strangers,
the Fitzroy Terrors, Blue Canadian,
Adrian Miller, the Cadillacs, Boo
Watson, Robert Phillip, Kurt
Swinghammer, Isshin Daiko, Tikisa,
Maza Meze, and the Samba Squad.
One channel for
community action
And the music is just the tip of the
iceberg lettuce!
Zone Representatives
This year, for organizational purposes,
the Market has been divided into ten
zones and each zone will have representation.
The Festival Committee will
take care of the big-picture stuff (street
closures, permits, posters, publicity,
and over-all organization) and will
assist each zone in making this a
Afore, back cover.
memorable Festival across the whole
Market.
The zone reps will also be the
liaison between the Festival Committee
and the merchants and residents on
each block to ensure that everyone
knows what is going on.
For a list of zone representatives call
Judith Marshal/ at 929-3893. For
other festival information, contact
Colin Puffer at 515-7740.
The Kensington Market Working Group
BY DAVID PERLMAN
If you are reading this any time
before 6.30pm Tuesday July 27,
consider: attending the Annual
General Meeting of the Kensington
Market Working Group.
The Working Group has been,
for the past six years, the only
Kensington community association
holding regular community
meetings and having regular
open elections.
Over the years the Working
Group has played a leadership .
role in many areas of concern to
the community--film liaison,
Neighbourhood Watch, annual
ga:rbage days, the Kensington
revitalization plan, festival support
and sponsorship, and many others.
If you live, work, or own property
in Kensington, you are automatically
a member of the working
group and are probably entitled to
vote at the annual general meeti.ng,
or to put your name forward as a
member of the board. Several new
board members will be needed, as
many long-time board members
will
probably
not return
(this writer
being one
of them!).
Being a board member is an
opportunity to be involved in the
decisions that affect Kensington
Market and to work on and make
known what the community wants
and does not want to happen here.
As a member of the board you
would typically be required to _
attend one board meeting a month,
and probably six open community
meetings a year.
Oetails about the meeting can be
found on page 3.

The future of the International Languages
program in our public schools?
The story so far: a school board-staff report
recommending the continuation of Integrated/
Extended day programs like the ones in our local
public schools was being booted back and forth
from committee to committee, with the real
possibility it might never make it to the board,
thereby killing off the programs in question.
Since then: good news, but not all good news.
The report made it to the board Wednesday June
23 and they agreed to support the continuation
of International Language and Black Cultural
programs. But enrolments will have to increase a
lot. And two thirds of the families in the school
will have to support the programs continuing.

planner's suggestion for a "seat wall" around the
play area. Problem is, the parks and recreation
dept planner, Graham Moore, who thought up
the idea, has been transferred to Scarberia,
leaving no trace of his whereabouts. Has the hard
earned wall fallen through the bureaucratic
cracks?
Since then: DRUM tracked down Mr Moore July
22. He reassured us. "The project is definitely
still alive. Its just a question of scheduling. "

more complicated.
Since then: "there has been no final decision
from discussions between the building and
legal departments". Afeanwhile comments on
the site plan from various city departments
are "trickling in to the planning department
"very slowly. "
Demolition of houses on Major Street
The story so far: in another Doctor's Hospital-related
matter, we reported that the
building department had said that the abandoned
Major Street houses which were to be
demolished as part of the plan, are still
residential. And if so, under the city's new
anti-homelessness initiatives, they could
probably not be demolished without the
agreement of city council.
Since then: the Hospital said they would
take the City to court, offering evidence of
the length of time for which the properties -
had been non-residential. A court date was
set for the end of June. City legal dept said
the City would lose in court and advised the
chief building official to settle the matter.
KMAC (Kensington Market Action Committee)
application to HRDC (Human
Resources and Development Canada) for
funding for a third year
The story so far: Last time we
reported that Kensington Market
Action Committee (KMAC) had
received "less-than hoped, more
than feared" for its third and
final year of funding by the
federal government (HRDC) and
that details woiuld be released at
the next KMAC meeting (Tues~
day June 22).
Since then: as reported last
issue, HRDC as g iven KMA C

planned "Kensington 2000+" visioning
conference; and to show that it can generate
a significant portion of funding for other
projects within the cominunity.
One big step towards these goals: At the
June 22 meeting, K\.1AC voted to work
towards holding elections for committee
membership no later than the end of October.
The proposed 1000-sq ft storefront community
space in the Kensington Lofts
The story so far: Last tfme we reported that
the wish of a community meeting June 16 was .
for no further decisions to be made on the
space until after the Kensington Market
Working Group (KMWG) has held its Annual
General Meeting and a new board has been
elected.
Since then: The KMWG Annual General
Meeting will take place July 27 I999 at
6:30pm in the gymnasium at St. Stephen s
Community House, 91 Bellevue
280 Augusta Avene ("College Hostel")
The story so far: an attempt earlier this spring
by the new owner of 280 Augusta to quickly
evict existing residents of the property had
been slowed down by tenant action and that
the matter was in mediation ordered by the
Ontario Housing Tribunal.
Since then: mediation has failed. The matter
will be before the Housing Tribunal again
early in September for rulings on whether
notice given tenants by the new owner was
adequate, and on whether certain tenants
were harassed into signing by the new owner.
