The At Home in Durham Housing Plan 2014-2024 had ambi-tious goals, including the elimi- nation of homelessness and theaddition of 1,000 affordable hous-ing units. To date, Durham has added 461.

Thesource of ignition for thefire has been traced to oneof two cars that had been placed in the CourticeCourt building earlier inthe day, according to the re-port. "The ignition sequenceresulted from a fault of one of the vehicles' electricalsystem components result-ing from the collision," the report concludes.The fire was reportedjust after 6 p.m. on July 17 and destroyed the sprawl-ing structure. The buildingwas used by the service'stactical, R.I.D.E. program and K9 units, and storedfirearms, uniforms andfleet vehicles, as well as ve- hicles involved in seriouscollisions. Evidence gath-ered to be used as exhibitsin court cases was also stored there, police con-firmed.Clarington firefighters,arriving within minutes of a 911 call, found the build-ing fully engulfed inflames. Smoke from the blaze was so intense that itinterrupted traffic on near-by Hwy. 401.Although police an- nounced in the days afterthe incident that the fire was not suspicious in ori-gin, no confirmation of acause has since been re-leased. The Fire Marshal's report was not made pub-lic; it was obtained through an access to informationrequest to the provincialSolicitor General's minis-try. No estimate of the val-ue of losses sustained in the fire has been released;the information has beenredacted from the report obtained by durhamre-gion.com.According to the report, the fire began in a vehiclebay where earlier in theday two cars that had beeninvolved in a collision had been stored. Both vehicleshad sustained front-enddamage and were left in a bay at the north side of thebuilding as of about 2:30p.m. Firefighters who at- tended the scene of the caraccident — the crash didnot occur in Courtice —confirmed that the vehicle batteries "were not termi-nated or disconnected be-cause of the classification of the collision," the reportnotes.Once it began the firewas fuelled by upholstery and polyurethane foampadding of the seats in the vehicles, causing flamesthat shot upward and dam-aged the ceiling, the report says. "The energy releasedfrom the area containing the two vehicles resultedin a large enough fireplume to contact the un-derside of the ceiling di- rectly above, resulting inits partial collapse," thereport states.The fire spread to othervehicles parked in the bayand throughout the northsection of the building and beyond, investigatorsfound."The fire continued tospread into the north sec- tion of the buildingthrough portions of theconcrete block wall sepa- rating the two portions ofthe building, as well asthrough spaces around thedoors between the north and south section," the re-port says. CAR SOURCE OF FIRE THAT DESTROYED POLICE BUILDING A fire that destroyed the Durham police service's Property Bureau building in Courtice last summer likely began in the electrical system of a car that had been damaged in a crash and was stored on site, according to a report by the Ontario Fire Marshal.

Encamp-ments can now be foundacross Durham's southern municipalities.He said the COVID-19pandemic was disastrous."All of a sudden the world's economy steppedback and changed and atthe same time you had housing challenges wherehousing prices went up 50,60, 70 and in some cases 100per cent," said Henry, add- ing that it now costs $900 torent a room in Durham."When you're looking atthose challenges combined with affordability — Dur-ham is not the only place,it's right across this coun- try."Robert Brglez has beenthe executive of Corner-stone Community Associa- tion and his organization ispart of the region's housingtask force. Cornerstone op- erates a 40-bed emergencyshelter on Simcoe Street inOshawa as well as 88 hous-ing units, of which nine units are transitional andthe remainder are perma-nent. The nine transitional units include the five mi-cro-home units on DrewStreet in Oshawa.He said the number of people experiencing home-lessness in Durham in thepast decade has only in- creased."There's definitely beenan increase numerically,definitely an increase in unsheltered and on thestreet and an increase inmental health and addic-tions (challenges) and the nature of addictions haschanged where opiates area huge, huge part of it now." In that decade, he's seena spike in the use of opiateslike fentanyl and other syn-thetic opiates. "We average about anoverdose every two weeksand last weekend we had a death," Brglez said on May9. "He overdosed in theshelter and we and EMS couldn't get a pulse and they took him to hospitaland he was pronounceddead."Cornerstone has 40 emergency beds at its Sim-coe Street shelter, whichcan be increased duringthe colder months."Typically over theyears we've run anywherefrom 75 to 80 per cent occu- pancy and lately it's been 90to 100 per cent. We rarelyhave beds available. It'sconsistently full. Another change is we're seeingmore seniors."The impact of homeless- ness is felt not just in Osha-wa, but regionwide."Ajax has been dealingwith homelessness pre- pandemic but certainlysince the pandemic we'veseen a large increase in de- mand for services," said Sa-mantha Paterson, govern-ment relations and strate- gic initiatives co-ordinator for the Town of Ajax.Paterson said the townis working with the region,community organizations, DRPS and more to addressthe issue. That work includes pro-viding space for an emer-gency shelter at 27 StationSt. for a 30-bed facility inwhat was once a real estate sales pavilion.The region funds the op-eration of the facility andit's managed by the Chris- tian Faith Outreach Cen-tre.It opened in mid-Decem- ber and the number of peo-ple using the facility variesby month with 80 individu-als accessing it in January, the highest number so far,and 61 people using theshelter in April. Last month, the average personstayed at the shelter for 13nights and users included 44 adults, 11 seniors and six youth aged 16 to 24.Paterson said residentsare seeing evidence ofhomelessness in their com- munity that weren't visiblea few years ago."We are hearing fromour residents, it's a changeso we're trying to be verytransparent about what'shappening in the commu- nity, what we're doing toaddress it. We held our firstcommunity drop-in ses-sion in January to give resi- dents an opportunity tocome, ask their questionsdirectly to us and our com- munity partners." A second session wasscheduled for May 11."Part of the challenge is people don't know there'swork being done all thetime." When it comes to fullyaddressing the issue, Hen-ry is adamant it can't be done at the municipal level."The federal govern-ment's complete inactionaround mental health, opi- ates, homelessness and ad-diction-related issues ischallenging for all of us, ev- ery municipality in thecountry," he said. "It's a na-tional crisis. It's not a Dur-ham crisis, it's bigger than that."Henry said he doesn'tbelieve the services thatcan be provided at the mu-nicipal level will ever fullyaddress the homelessnesscrisis. "For us, you're trying tomanage the challenges ofmental health on thestreets of Oshawa utilizing social workers and para-medics," said Henry. "It'sonly a Band-Aid on a hem- orrhage. You know wepartner mental healthnurses with police officers,but that isn't a solution if there isn't a place to takethat person that's in crisis.I know Lakeridge Health does its best to manage allthis but the numbers arefar greater than the capac-ity in the system." Henry said both the pro-vincial and federal govern-ments have to step up. "If this is a problem inevery community in thecountry, should it be calleda crisis? If you have the same problem in Vancou-ver, Toronto, Calgary,Montreal ... deal with it.This country built a rail-road coast-to-coast in atime when technology waslimited 150-some years ago and they did it in less thanfive years, don't you think ifwe put the same effort intomanaging the challenges we're having today, that wecouldn't solve these prob-lems? I think we can." STORY BEHIND THESTORY: In 2014, Durhamlaunched an aspirational plan to eliminate homeless-ness within a decade. Wechecked in on how the plan was progressing andwhether the goal could bemet. NEWS 'IT'S A NATIONAL CRISIS.

Despite recommenda-tions to scrap part of theseniors snow removal pro-gram in Ajax, council has asked staff to take anotherlook.Staff recommendedthat the program, whichcurrently provides two lev-els of service, only offerthe lesser option of clear- ing windrows and munici-pal sidewalks, which costsresidents $36 for the sea-son. Town staff have recom-mended removing the Lev-el 1 service, which covers snow removal on drive-ways, sidewalks, the pathleading from the drivewayto the front door, and wind- rows at the end of the drive-way. Qualified residentspay $190 for this service. "We have a large seniorcommunity in Ajax," saidWard 2 local councillorNancy Henry at the May 8 general government com-mittee meeting. "We've setsomething up here for 20 years. To try to take thataway now, there's going tobe some uproar on that. That is not going to go overeasily." Henry successfully in-troduced a motion thatstaff consult the appropri-ate committees and cur- rent users, before comingforward with a plan. Shealso asked that staff con- sult other municipalitiesabout how they keep theircosts down."Right now, it's not sus- tainable," said Dave Mere-dith, director of planningand development. It takes between threeand four days to get to eachsenior, and the town re-ceives numerous com- plaints.According to Meredith,320 people use Level 1, and just 80 use Level 2.The town's level of ser-vice exceeds all other mu- nicipalities in the GTA.There is also a signifi- cant level of liability riskassociated with removingsnow on private property,said chief administrative officer Shane Baker.A staff report said thenumber of users is expec- ted to increase, and in or-der to remove snow within24 hours and keep the highlevel of service, the cost of Level 1 would need to be in-creased significantly.Mayor Shaun Collier suggested finding a middleground."We have to offer a fairprice for the service but I also see a lot of problems ifwe try to go back," he said.He asked that staff de- cide on a new level of ser-vice before consulting thecommunity.

An Ajax artist's paint- ing will join the ranks ofworks by Leonardo da Vin-ci, Michelangelo and Titian as it joins the most exten-sive private art collectionin the world and is ownedby the British royal family. His painting — a gift toKing Charles III — will behoused in The Royal Col- lection Trust at WindsorCastle.Neville Clarke, a Jamai-can-born artist who immi- grated to Canada in 1974and has lived in Ajax for 34years, has been selected aspart of a small group of re-nowned Canadian artiststo send a gift of their art-work for the coronation celebration on Saturday,May 6."The coronation of aking is a once-in-a-lifetime, spectacular event, and itgives me great pleasure tohonour this momentous occasion of King CharlesIII," he says. "I am delight-ed to be one of seven excep-tional Canadian artists asked to participate in gift-ing a watercolour paintingfor this special occasion." Clarke has achievedwidespread recognition forhis artwork, includingmembership to the Ontario Society of Artists and theCanadian Society of Paint-ers in Water Colour(CSPWC), where he served as president from 2001 to2003.King Charles III, who loves to paint, is an honor-ary member of the CSPWC.This group was founded byGroup of Seven members Franklin Carmichael andA.J. Casson in 1925.This is not the first time Clarke has gifted a work ofart to this royal familymember. In 2001 he pre-sented a collection of wa- tercolour paintings to HRHThe Prince of Wales on be-half of the CSPWC 75th An- niversary at Canada Housein London, England.The then-Prince invitedthe artists back to his home in High Grove and gavethem a guided tour. This in-cluded a look at his privatesanctuary, where he es- caped to for silence or topray, a look at the soil irri-gation that was taking place on his property, and astop in the bathroom thatwas so large it fit all 10 ofthem.

"Andthings happen that bring itback." She remembers as ayoung girl, her mother cry-ing in the bathtub with bro-ken ribs after being abused by her husband and Nan-cy's father."As a child I was scared to go to sleep because I nev-er knew what I was going towake up to," she says.And it all came flooding back to her when she foundher mother, Sandra Dews-bury, dead in her apart- ment this February."My world stopped," she says.Two months later, Hen-ry brought forward a mo- tion to council pleadingwith the provincial govern-ment to declare intimate partner violence (IPV) anepidemic."Knowing how it de-stroys families and hearing about it happening in to-day's society even more sothan it did then," she felt it necessary to push on the is-sue."I think municipalitiesstanding together strong, passing this will get thefunding needed to help allthese places to have thestaff, and what they need tohelp women get back intosociety, strong and able tobe on their own and hope- fully break free from theirabuser," Henry says.Her mother didn't havethat opportunity. And her mother stayed with herhusband until the day hedied 20 years ago. She would take her two girlsand leave him, but she al-ways went back."And I could never un- derstand why," Henry says."It wasn't until I was olderthat I learned he would find her, and he would harassthe person who was help- ing us to the point theywould ask us to leave."It continued, even after Nancy chose to leave andlive with her grandmotherwhen she was just 17. "It was a pattern shecouldn't get away from, nomatter how hard she tried,"Henry says. Specific legislation ad-dressing family and do-mestic violence has been passed by six provincesand three territories; butOntario has not imple-mented this type of legisla- tion.Henry's motion waspassed by Ajax council,and similar motions have been passed in Durham Re-gion and Whitby — bothbrought forward by wom- en. Henry says a similarmotion is coming beforePickering council."It's about time that women join together, andstand up for each other andsay 'enough,'" she says. The motion also calledon the Region of Durham todeclare an IPV epidemicand integrate IPV into the region's Community Safe-ty and Well-Being Plan.Violence Prevention Co- ordination Council of Dur-ham (VPCC), which repre- sents 35 local agencies in-cluding Luke's Place, Heri- zon House and the DurhamRape Crisis Centre, report-ed a significant increase indemand for assistance from local IPV support pro-viders on behalf of memberVictim Services of Durham Region, with IPV victimsupport up 32 per cent overfour years and sexual vio- lence victim support up 277per cent over four years. Laura Oliver of VPCCspoke at the April Ajaxcouncil meeting, when themotion was passed. "And Ajax remembersall too well five years agoon March 18 of 2018, the tri- ple homicide of KrassimiraPejcinovski and her twochildren, Roy, 15, and Ve- nellia, 13, all victims of in-timate partner violence,"Oliver said. She referred to CarolCulleton, Anastasia Kuzykand Nathalie Warmerdam, who were murdered by aman with whom each had arelationship with in Ren-frew County in 2015. The province held an in-quest into the murders inJune 2022 and the five-per- son jury returned with averdict including 86 recom-mendations, two of whichwere included in the mo- tion."Every three days, awoman in Canada is killedby her intimate partner," Oliver said.One in five women expe-rience some form of abuse in their intimate relation-ship.This past year, 52 wom-en in Ontario or one wom- an every week were vic-tims of femicide, she said.If you or someone you know has experienced sexu-al violence, resources andsupport are available on thewebsite of the Ontario Co- alition of Rape Crisis Cen-tres at sexualassaultsup-port.ca/get-help/.

Tullio met in a specialclosed session of council atcity hall on May 4 to discussthe terms of a 414-page con-fidential city staff reportthat dealt with the terms ofapossible 25-year lease ex- tension between the teamand the city.Tullio said any dealhinged on the city meeting a number of conditions theGenerals had for such a lease, including "being inline with other OHL teamsof our size in terms of rent, and abundantly a moreamount of space, five moreoffices for our staff, more offices for our coachingstaff, another room for par-ents and players to meet af-ter the game; and to grow our weight room; and a big-ger pro shop."Tullio said of 10 requests he made to city council,eight were rejected.Therefore, he said, he'shad it with the city. "I don't want to leave,but this is on the mayor, thecouncillors at the meetingtoday (Thursday); they're losing a storied franchisethat has been here for 90years." He claimed that he canback up his threat."I have paper, an offer tolease to go to Durham Live. Steve (Apostolopoulos,president of Durham Live and Pickering Develop-ments) would put up a building there, we'veagreed on terms and condi-tions, that will be our newhome. The whole idea is to build a 6,800 seat-facility, aparking garage," said Tul- lio, president of Rock Devel-opments. He said that's where hispartner in a bid to buy theNHL's Ottawa Senators,Durham Live and Picker- ing Casino owner, Aposto-lopoulos, will be construct- ing the 6,800-seat stadiumfor the Generals and many other events.Apostolopoulos, howev-er, was noncommittal onthat idea on May 5 issuing a brief statement saying:"Pickering Developments does not comment on ru- mours and speculation."Durham Live alreadyhas a 2,700-seat concert venue, which recently host-ed Canadian rock icon Bry-an Adams on its openingnight. Oshawa Mayor DanCarter was tight-lippedabout the closed session meeting only saying, "Wetake our partnership withthe Oshawa Generals veryseriously ... Council sent back to staff some things itwould like to see with re-spect to costs and implica- tions to the City of Oshawaand the arena.

OSHAWA GENERALS TO MOVE TO PICKERING Oshawa Generals owner Rocco Tullio says he's "done" negotiating a lease extension with the City of Oshawa for the Tribute Communities Centre, citing issues over a lack of office space, lack of concessions and terms of his rental agreement as insoluble problems.

GO Transit is wheelingout fully electric buses in-tending to reduce emissionsand expand clean green transit across the GreaterGolden Horseshoe.Starting May 15, GO rid- ers on the 92 (Oshawa/Yorkdale), 96B (Oshawa/Finch Express), 19 (Missis-sauga/North York) and 27 (Milton/North York) busroutes will have the chanceto travel on the electricbuses. The buses will beidentifiable by theirunique exterior, which fea-tures a lightning bolt. Once on board, commut-ers will experience a quieterride and have access to USBchargers and seatbelts, the provincial government saidin a statement. "The launch of these electric buses marks a sig-nificant milestone in ourgovernment's plan to be aglobal leader in the electric vehicle revolution," Pre-mier Doug Ford said. "We're building a strong electric vehicle supplychain, securing gamechanging investments inelectric vehicles and bat- tery manufacturing andgetting more electric vehi-cles on the road. The future is electric and we're lead-ing the charge."Caroline Mulroney, theminister of transportation, said, "These electric vehi-cle buses are an excitingnew transportation option,bolstering the presence of zero-emission technologyin Ontario. As we deliveron our plan to get Ontari- ans moving, we will contin-ue leveraging clean-energyopportunities that are goodfor people and the environ- ment."GO Transit has been testing the buses without passengers since Decem-ber 2021.GO said the initial test-ing phase results were con- sidered when routes wereselected for revenue ser-vice, to help ensure the buses return to the garagewith 20 per cent battery ca-pacity. Testing has shownthese buses can travel about 225 kilometres in col-der temperatures andabout 300 kilometres in warmer temperatureswithout needing a charge.Nine batteries powereach bus and can be fully charged in approximatelythree to four hours. Thebuses will be charged at theStreetsville, in Mississau- ga, and Steeprock, in NorthYork, bus garages.In late April, Durham Region Transit (DRT) an-nounced it was moving toelectric buses, with a pilotproject set to begin in 2024.
