Newlyweds Tripti Ninan and Ryan Perera are Millennials and purchased their first home in Toronto just under a year ago.

Based on their combined income and the down payment they were able to come up with, the couple bought a 700-square-foot, one-bedroom-plus-den condo unit in Toronto’s west end near a subway station.

“We knew our first step would be a condo. We wanted to start small and we wanted something low maintenance,”

said Ninan. “And for us, location was key because we wanted to be close to transit. I did not want ridiculous com-mutes anymore.”

Ninan, a 30-year-o l d m a r k e t i n g professional who works downtown, and 27-year-old Perera, an aero-space engineer whose office is near Pearson Airport, understood sac-rifices were required to make their dream a reality.

About five years ago, they both started setting aside money for their wedding and future home purchase.

“We were actu-ally planning for quite a few years and saving up,” said Perera.

“We saved for both our wedding and our property even before we knew what kind of place we wanted

and how big the wedding would be.” Ninan, who also paid her own way

through college and university, said she was lucky to have taken a few financial courses and had a good understanding of what was involved in getting into the Toronto real estate market. It also helped that both Ninan and Perera’s parents have purchased a condo in the last five years and they were actively involved in helping their parents navi-gate the experience.

“We took what we learned from our parents and applied it when the time came to buy a condo,” she said.

The couple sacrificed having a second vehicle to save more money

and followed the guidance of their financial advisor, Darlene Wang, who advised them about maxi-mizing their investments and the importance of budgeting.

“We don’t go on crazy shop-ping sprees at all and we’re smart with our purchases; no impulse buying,” Perera said.

“But we’re still enjoying life. Short-term sacrifices mean long-term gains,” added Ninan. In the next four or five years, the couple said, they’ll likely sell their condo and get a house.

Depending on what they want and their needs, they did admit they’d consider moving outside Toronto proper.

• • • • •

Getting into the Toronto real estate market isn’t impossible for Millennials (those ages 18 to 35) but it’s no walk in the park.

Purchasing a property in this city’s hot market requires two things: preparation and the willingness to compromise.

For the last 16 years, financial advisor Darlene Wang has helped scores of young adults to get their finances in order so they can buy their first home in Toronto.

“You have to be realistic in terms of what you want and what you can get. If you have an ego, you can’t play this game,” said Wang, who admitted the likelihood of Millennials purchasing a detached home in the city as their first property is slim.

According to a recent report by Altus Group for the Building Industry and Land Development Association, the average price for a newer detached home in the GTA was $1.05 million, which is more than double what it cost a decade ago and 21 per cent higher than just over a year ago.

“An actual standalone home in the GTA will

be near impossible unless you have two steady incomes over $100,000,” Wang explained. “Millennials have to start with a condo to build equity, a townhouse, or a small bungalow, or (purchase) not in the GTA.”

To help her clients get ready to get into the Toronto market, Wang, who works for Investors Group, helps future homebuyers sort out their priorities and come up with a plan of action to maximize their finances in a set time frame.

Getting “house ready” as she put it requires a change of mindset, a new way of living.

“You need to sacrifice more than ever and make smart decisions,” said Wang, adding understanding what’s involved in reaching your goals helps avoid disappointment.

Wang said Millennials aren’t usually thinking about getting their finances in order and saving up for a down payment on a property. “In their head it’s “pay back me” time,” she said, noting most Millennials in the 18 to 30 age range are in school or just finishing up their first post-

secondary degree or diploma, usually carry school debt,

have no kids, and want to travel and party.

Under her guidance, Wang has helped her cli-ents to get “house ready”

by tracking their spending, making small adjustments to their budget, investing wisely,

and being realistic about vacations and big pur-

chases. “Incomes have

n o w h e r e n e a r increased the way real estate has increased. You must learn to do more

with less,” she said. Real estate broker Frank Leo, who has been

serving clients in Toronto and the GTA for 28 years, said for Millennials the biggest thing is the pressure of being “squeezed out of the market.”

Leo, of RE/MAX West Realty Ltd., advises young buyers to avoid jumping into the market before doing their research, specifically know-ing exactly what they want and can afford.

“A good representative on your side helps keep your emotions in check,” he said. “If a property isn’t what you need or want then don’t buy it.”

He added those between the ages of 18 to 35 who want to purchase a property in Toronto need to take a close look at their needs and based on their budget a good realtor will be able to help find the right home to buy.

“If you buy well, that’s a good investment. If you buy poorly then you’re in trouble. You want to make sure you have someone who knows their stuff to give you the best advice,” he said.

Leo also said Millennials need to realize it’s not likely they’ll be buying the home of their dreams the first time around.

“Often, the first property is a stepping stone that fits your current needs and one that will get a good return,” he said.

“Real estate is all about understanding value and getting the best property for your money.”

Meray Mansour, real estate agent with Royal LePage Estate Realty, agreed noting getting into a smaller “first-step home” like a condo or a small bungalow for a few years is what will help first-time homeowners build equity for their dream home.

With 18 years of experience in Toronto’s real estate market, she said bidding wars for anything in the $550,000 to $700,000 range are to be expected.

“There’s so much demand and very low stock. I advise my clients to understand bidding wars are a reality but to not be discouraged,” she said. “And because today’s market is so hot, being too emotional can lead to irrational decisions. You need a realtor that’s going to advocate for you in this type of market.”

S h e e n c o u r a g e d Millennials to go for it if they do have enough money saved up to get into the market.

“Don’t wait because the market is so hot,” she said.

The city kicked off Bike Month, which runs from May 30 to June 30, with a blitz by Toronto police writing tickets to drivers parking in bike

lanes.The heightened enforcement campaign called

“Right 2 Bike” ran for one week until June 5 and saw parking enforcement officers working with traffic services and divisional units hand out 273 tickets at $150 a piece, totalling $40,950 in fines.

That sounds like a lot, but the campaign to target drivers with total disregard for cyclists should con-tinue in some shape or form.

Bad habits are hard to break, especially this one.Since a bylaw change in 2014, which increased the

fine for blocking a bike lane from $60 to $150, about 17,000 tickets have been issued to date.

For more recent empirical evidence, just check Twitter where cyclists regularly tweet pictures of

cars, taxis and delivery trucks blocking bike lanes.

While parking enforcement officer Brian Moniz noted most of the enforcement in the blitz took place in the downtown core, this could be a growing and more prevalent issue across the city.

With the city discussing how to expand cycling infrastructure in Toronto to the tune of $16 million per year for 10 years, any increase in bike lanes would only exacerbate the problem of cyclists being put in danger by drivers blocking their right-of-way.

Perhaps having additional blitzes and an increased awareness campaign, combined with even higher fines for offenders are potential solutions to curbing bad driver behaviour.

The alternative of not having some kind of sus-tained campaign to ensure the safety of cyclists will have an adverse impact on what the city seemingly wants to achieve through holding Bike Month each year.

That is to encourage people to get out of their cars and ride their bikes more.

Bike to Work days? Good luck finding more people to participate if it means navigating Toronto streets with the added challenge of swerving around parked cars.

Cyclists deserve our respect, for safety’s sake

Cars parked in bike lanes a real danger

Ah, Scarborough-Agincourt Councillor Jim Karygiannis. We have not seen his like since… well really, since the last time the voters of Ward 39-Scarborough Agincourt sent a councillor to City Hall.

Karygiannis is the first-term successor to Toronto’s former budget chief, Mike Del Grande, who kept Ward 39 strange for a decade before that, often with the help of Karygiannis himself, who had been a Liberal MP for even longer in the area.

In 2004, the two of them made headlines, person-ally helping to bust up marijuana grow ops in their communities, while Del Grande also kept an inven-tory of constituents whose homes violated city bylaws.

Del Grande had a brief tenure as former mayor Rob Ford’s first budget chief, but consistently bemoaned the failings of his colleagues on council and delinquent con-stituents alike, maintaining a consistent and in retro-spect magnificent rage.

When Del Grande decided he’d had enough in 2014, Karygiannis happily assumed his angry role at, if anything, a greater volume.

He took on the Uber ride-sharing industry in the rhetorical equivalent of a berserk rampage, behaving so badly during Licensing and Standards Committee hearings that Mayor John Tory called him on the carpet.

More than a decade after he and Del Grande waged their own local War on Drugs, he came to the defence of illegal storefront marijuana shops.

And this week, two reports from the city’s integrity commissioner call-ing him out for behaviour not too dissimilar to those pot-busting days with Del Grande.

In one instance in 2015, Karygiannis scared the

bejeezers out of a family guilty of parking on the “skirt” of their home’s drive-way. In another, he scared the bejeezers out of an Uber driver who he’d spotted going to pick up a ride in a house in his ward.

The integrity commis-sioner found Karygiannis had run afoul of the council-lors’ code of conduct, which incredibly requires that councillors not intimidate people in the course of going about their business.

On Tuesday, Karygiannis mumbled an apology on the floor of council. But he wasn’t sorry, not really. In an interview, Karygiannis maintained he should be able to tell constituents to obey the law if he wants to, particularly if the city is slow to enforce. And if he’s intimidating in the course of doing that?

“Maybe the method, she (the integrity commissioner) doesn’t agree with it. Maybe my method is a little rough,” he said. “I’m a big guy. What can I tell you? I’m six feet

and 260 pounds. When you see me walking up to you, you feel intimidated.”

Maybe there always has to be a Jim Karygiannis at City Hall: someone who ignores decorum and puts on a show, a John Belushi character turning civilized discourse into a proper Animal House.

When he was a council-lor, Rob Ford fulfilled that role, spewing rhetoric across the city while digging down on the little things in neighbourhoods and dissing his colleagues for their city-funded office budgets.

Doug Ford played that role a bit when Rob became mayor and Giorgio Mammoliti still dips toe in that pool from time to time, but clearly he’s getting tired.

So maybe it’s good, that Karygiannis is here to keep an old Toronto tradition alive.

The Conundrum, a rawhide-covered canoe drum constructed by artist David Hynes (in photo below, drumming on his handmade instrument), was an early hit at this year’s Muhtadi International Drumming Festival in Woodbine Park Saturday.

JOanna LaVOie [email protected]

Residents of the Blake-Boultbee area are understand-ably shaken up by the recent shooting of a 10-year-old boy in their neighbourhood.

They’re also determined to work together to ensure their community remains a safe one.

More than 70 area residents gathered Tuesday evening at the Eastview Neighbourhood Community Centre on Blake Street to talk about commu-nity safety.

Toronto Community Housing and 55 Division hosted the meeting, which was off-limits to members of the media.

The gathering was held just four days after a local boy was shot in the shoul-der while sleeping in his bed. The incident, which police continue to investigate, hap-pened around 11:30 p.m. on June 3. The boy was rushed to hospital in serious but non-life-threatening condition but now home with his family.

As of Tuesday evening, no suspect information has been released.

Const. Jon Morrice of 55 Division’s Crime Prevention Unit said Tuesday evening’s meeting “stressed the impor-tance sharing information about crime” and the differ-ent methods to do so.

“Crime Stoppers was emphasized. They also did a presentation showing how it works,” he told The Mirror, adding the use of CCTVs like the ones used in The Entertainment District was mentioned. Morrice also said police will be working on preventative measures, enforcement, and community engagement.

Susan Godin, who has lived in the community housing complex for 20 years and has no plans to go anywhere, attended the

safety meeting. “This was a one-off thing. I feel safe in my community. I really do,” said the mother of a 23-year-old daughter with special needs.

Like many, Godin she said more police patrols on foot of the area would help neighbours feel safer. She also said she is one of many in the complex who would like to see the return of on-site Toronto Community Housing security guards.

Ward 30 Councillor Paula Fletcher was also in atten-dance and said residents had a lot to say about how to make the community stronger.

“This is one tight commu-nity. Blake-Boultbee has been a strong, stable community for decades and they’re very upset this has happened,” she told a group of reporters sta-tioned outside the Eastview Community Centre following the meeting. Fletcher said those at the meeting talked about improving lighting and changing fencing, having more meetings, and other practical safety tips.

She also said neighbours aren’t fearful.

Toronto-Danforth MPP Peter Tabuns said he saw a community that is united and also upset by the recent shooting of an innocent 10-year-old boy.

“There wasn’t a panic. People know this commu-nity is very united and safe,” he said after the meeting. “I have no sense that people feel unsafe in their commu-nity.”

Tabuns also said he believes the shooter wasn’t someone from the neighbourhood.

“I think it’s reasonable to say someone came from the outside,” he said.

In the days since the shooting, a number of area residents have reached out on social media to discuss putting together a care pack-age for the injured boy and his family.

The Mirror contacted Toronto Community Housing for comment but did not hear back by press time.

Former energy plant in the port lands is 2016 festival’s new home base

The 10th annual Luminato Festival, which kicks off tomorrow, will be heating up the decommissioned Hearn Generating Station with 17 days of unique, not to men-tion, mostly free program-ming.

The massive former energy plant on Unwin Avenue in the port lands is the new home base for Toronto’s festival of art and creativity.

In previous years, the festi-val hub was located at various squares throughout the city, including the one named in honour of the festival’s co-founder David Pecaut near King and John streets.

For several months, crews have been working to trans-form the cavernous Hearn – which is large enough to fit the Statue of Liberty upright as well as on its side – into the world’s largest cultural and community centre.

Some of the highlights at the east-end venue include concerts and shows on the

New Canadian Music Stage, visual art installations, and the Unsound TO 2016 music festival. A range of food and beverage options will also be offered.

Free tours of the space will also be available. The Hearn will be open to the public Tuesdays to Sundays (closed Mondays) from June 10 to 26 from with some exceptions to accommodate ticketed events. It will also be open weekdays from roughly 5 to 11 p.m. and on weekends from 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. or the close of programming.

Luminato’s outgoing artis-tic director Jörn Weisbrodt

and his team will officially turn on The Hearn for the first time in more than three decades on Friday, June 10 starting at 6 p.m.

The festival’s Big Bang Bash and opening party will take place there this evening.

This year’s Luminato will also be taking over the plaza at the refurbished Union Station, which will serve as the festival’s gateway.

Numerous events are set to be held during Luminato, including a celebratory one at David Pecaut Square.

Canada Post will no longer be delivering a controversial, east-end Toronto tabloid.

On Monday, Judy Foote, Canada’s Public Services and Procurement Minister, issued a prohibitory order against east-end Toronto resident James Sears, who has served as the editor-in-chief of Your Ward News for about a year.

An agent acting on Sears’ behalf is also prohibited from delivering the publication.

“As Minister responsible for Canada Post, I took action to stop the distribution of the publication Your Ward News. Canada Post will not deliver this disturbing publication as long as the interim order remains in effect,” Foote said in a statement.

“Pursuant to s. 43(1) of the Canada Post Corporation

Act, I have issued an interim prohibitory order to this individual, who is its editor-in-chief, advising him that he can no longer use Canada Post to spread this offensive material.”

The order, in which Foote indicates she has reasonable grounds to believe Sears is by means of mail either commit-ting or aiding the commission of an offense that he is sending or causing to be sent, items

that include hate propaganda in contravention of subsection 319(2) of the Criminal Code and/or that include the pub-lication of defamatory libel in contravention of subsection 300 of the Criminal Code, the was issued May 26.

Sears, who has 10 days after the date the notice was sent to request a review panel, said Your Ward News has done nothing wrong.

“If we were spreading hate or libel of a criminal nature, we would have been charged a very long time ago,” he said.

“And even if we were charged, we would have to be convicted in a court of law before they could legally block delivery of our paper; and it would have to be on an issue by issue basis...not a ‘carte blanche’ order over our entire paper.”

In a lengthy letter to Foote, Sears called the delivery ban “absurd” and “illegal” and said he intends to fight the order.

Further, Sears accused Foote of libeling him and the “entire” Your Ward News staff through the alleged “spreading

criminal falsehoods about us, by stating that you believe we are violating up to two sections of the criminal code.” Sears also said Foote was wrong to label them as “criminals” and strip them of their mail-ing rights.

As a backup plan in case he gets “railroaded in the courts”, Sears said he’s “amassing a Nationalist army of volunteers to deliver all 305,000 copies of the paper to houses only across the GTA and into the 905 area code.”

He went on to say that by delivering only to houses, they won’t have to rely on Canada’s Post apartment building mail-box keys.

“And because the area is so huge, it does not matter if every house is hit...as long as all 305,000 go out!,” he wrote in an email to Metroland Media Toronto.

Lastly, Sears said that if Your Ward News is not convicted, he intends to seek a court injunction to “strike down Canada Post’s monopoly (on the delivery of mail to apart-ment mailboxes).”

He did indicate that Canada Post has refunded Your Ward News nearly $40,000 that it had already paid for the mail-ing of 305,000 newspapers, which were supposed to be distributed this week.

In a June 6 release, a coali-tion of citizens and groups known as Standing Together Against Mailing Prejudice (STAMP) said it is pleased with Foote’s move.

“We’re ecstatic about the Minister’s decision,” said Lisa Kinsella, a managing partner of The Daisy Group, which is one of STAMP’s founding members.

“For too long, Your Ward News has been permit-ted to disseminate racism, homophobia, misogyny and anti-Semitism to as many as 300,000 homes in Toronto. Minister Foote’s swift and decisive action means that this disgusting material will no longer be landing in the mailboxes of people who don’t want it.”

Kinsella said the effect of Foote’s order would be imme-diate.

Some seniors are crying foul about Presto. While the smart-fare card distinguishes between regular and special fares, in the case of senior and student rates there’s a catch.

In order to receive the dis-counted fare rate, a “conces-sion” must be added to the card, and the only place to do that is Davisville subway station.

That could mean a long trek for mobility-challenged seniors.

At a funding announce-ment last week, Andy Byford, chief executive officer of the Toronto Transit Commission, said discussions were under-way between the TTC and Presto for expanding the number of outlets to obtain a concession, as well as adding full-service vending machines to provide the service.

But Byford said the focus now is getting all TTC vehicles and stations Presto-equipped by the end of the year.

wup express marks first birthday

The oft-maligned Union Pearson (UP) Express cele-brated some good news this week.

The city’s only direct rapid-transit link between Union Station and Toronto Pearson Airport celebrated its first full year of operation on Monday.

The service first came on-line before the start of the Toronto Pan Am Games, but was quickly excoriated by the public and elected officials alike for its high cost of use.

With moribund ridership attributed to the high cost of fares, Metrolinx did an about-face earlier this year and slashed prices significantly.

Since then, the agency reports ridership has qua-drupled.

wtransportation conference is private

There’s an important confer-ence taking place next week that will see representatives from transportation agencies across the continent taking part.

But not much has been publicized about the three-day Big Transportation Data conference, organized by the city and the University of Toronto. That’s because the initiative will take place behind closed doors, with the intention of acting as a knowledge exchange and idea sharing session for using so-called big data in aid of trans-portation planning, according to an organizer.

municipal transportation staffers, private industry reps and academics are all expected to take part.

There’s a hitch for seniors and youth wanting to activate Presto discount

Veteran tabla master Ritesh Das has been recognized for his many contributions to the city’s culture.

Das is the artistic director and founder of the Toronto Tabla Ensemble, a not-for-profit organization that has made its home base in the heart of Little India since the end of 2014.

He is the recipient of the 2016 Roy Thomson Hall Award of Recognition from the Toronto Arts Foundation, a charitable organization that encourages artistic excellence and increases access to the arts in the City of Toronto through private sector investment.

This presti-gious award is pre-sented t o a n indi-vidual, ensem-ble or organi-

zation to recognize creative, performing, administrative, volunteer or philanthropic contributions to Toronto’s musical life.

Das received the award last month during the 11th annual Mayor’s Arts Lunch, an event that brings together

leaders of the arts, govern-ment, and business to cel-ebrate the benefits that the artistic community and their benefactors bring to the life of Toronto.

Das, who performs, com-poses music for and gives lessons on the tabla and other South Asian percus-sion instruments, recently celebrated his group’s 25th anniversary with two shows at Harbourfront Centre.

Toronto Tabla Ensemble offers lessons in east-end Toronto (at the ensemble’s main location on Gerrard Street East), Mississauga and Scarborough.

Ontario will celebrate the worldwide Healthy Parks Healthy People movement by again opening up all 330 of its provincial parks for free to day-use visitors for one day in July.

“Spending time in a provincial park is a wonderful way to connect with nature and stay healthy,” Bill Mauro, minister of natural

resources and forestry, said in a statement. “I’m very pleased that the ministry of natural

resources and forestry is offering free day-use on July 15, and I encourage everyone to visit one of our parks.”
