"Kensington moments". Sometimes

they're good, sometimes bad,

always unmistakeable.

The good ones: something happens

and you find yourself thinking

"Yes! that's why I'm here."

'The bad ones: you find yourself,

jaw hanging, thinking "what the

@#$% am I still doing in this

place?"

Here's one.

for my ackee dinner (small) with

"Excellent" he says "but what kind

of flour is ih it?"

"No flour at all" says

friendly server. ''Just salt fish and

potato." ·

"Potato only?" gent asks,

surprised. "What kind?"

''Irish," server says.

That ''Irish" is the Kensington

moment (good type). Where else

in Toronto does the potato of the

dominant culture also have to show

Four-year plan for redevelopment of Toronto Western.Hospital revealed;

Stack spat: final chapter

Hospital incinerator to tumble next spring

Towering 260 feet above Kensington, the incinerator stack at Toronto Western.

The notorious landmark will tumble next spring as part of the redevelopment

of the Western site, laying to rest once and for all the fear that the

decommissio?ed hospital incinerator might one day be fired up again.

. BY DAVID PERLMAN

Beginning almost right away, big changes are coming to

the Toronto Western Hospital (University Health Network)

·"the Western" as most residents still know it.

"Improved access for the community to all our health

services; greater care for our patients; more green space

for patients and community members." This was the

message from Hospital staff and consultants at a community

meeting September 13 at University Settlement House.

Key aspects of"Project 2003" as the renovation is being

called include:

- an expansion to the emergency department

- an improved main entrance at the southwest corner

- a new entrance at the corner of Bathurst and Nassau

Streets

- creation of an atrium or inner court, linking the various

buildings

- improved food and other services for patients and their

care givers

- removal of the incinerator smokestack

-the creation of a large amount of"green space" via the

demolition of the two oldest buildings on the Leonard

Street side of the building.

"You can't provide 'excellent services without

excellent facilities" University Health Network President

Alan Hudson told the meeting. "We want to make this a

pleasant and welcoming place."

GARBAGE$$$

Letters go out

BY SoPHIA PERLMAN

It's garbage crunch time for hundreds of small

businesses in downtown Toronto. Letters

regarding garbiige and recycling service fees

and a "Change of Service Request Form" are

being mailed to all small commercial businesses

currently receiving more than two

municipal garbage collections per week.

On April28, 1999, the City ofToronto

adopted a three-year plan to phase on service

fees for commercial locations receiving three

or more garbage collections a week. Council

also directed that any business may choose to

reduce its number of weekly collections, but

only if it is able to store its waste on-site in a

manner satisfactory to the Commissioner of

Works and Emergency Services and the

Medical Officer of Health.

The servicing fees will be phased in as

follows:

For 3 times a week, it will cosf$150.00 in

.1999, $225.00 in 2000, and $300.00 in 2001.

Five times a week will cost $600.00 in

i999, $900.00 in 2000 and $1,200.00 in 2001.

For those businesses who need 6 times a

week (garbage and recycling) it will cost

$800.00 in 1999, $1, 200.00 in 2000 and

$1,600.00 in 2001.

The 1999 Service fee will be invoiced to

directly to business addresses on a monthly

basis, starting October 1999, unless arrangements

were made, by September 17 to reduce

or cancel municipal collection serviCe.

Cancelling municipal collection service will ·

only be permitted if the City can confirm that

arrangements have been made with a private

sector waste management company to continue

garbage and recycling collection.

· All calls and inquiries related to this matter

should go to Solid Waste Management Service.

at 392- 8285, or Access-Toronto at 388-0338

required.
