There will be a meeting Wednesday October 13 in the William Lea Room to discuss a revised plan for the development at 939 Eglinton Ave. E. (Eglinton and Brentcliffe). These changes are proposed by the developer, Diamond Corp. following meetings with a residents group formed by Jon Burnside (Ward 26). He notes that Diamond Corp. has appealed the original proposal to the OMB but it has expressed a willingness to work with the community. The meeting is set for Thursday at 6:30 pm at Leaside Memorial Gardens. Mr. Burnside is inviting inquiries as necessary to 416-392-0215 or councillor_burnside@toronto.ca.  Results from LPOA survey of “Big Daddy” at 939 Eglinton

Sophie Gregoire Trudeau will open the trading day at the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday to mark International Day of the Girl. She will represent three charities. They are G(irls)20 (cute name) Plan International Canada and FitSpirit.  Politics aside, it would surely be a Canadian quality to wish for young women to participate, excel and to lead.

Lauren Bouchard and Brian McGinnis, the wreckage after fire was out

The flaming wreck of a two-car accident in Brampton Monday evening took the lives of Brian McGinnis,, 24 and his girlfriend of three years Lauren Bouchard 22, as well as her sister Michelle, 16. The three were returning from a Thanksgiving dinner with Brian’s family in Georgetown. The fourth fatality was the driver of a 1998 Pontiac Trans Am that leaped the media and smashed into the Kia Soul driven by McGinnis. The impact ignited a terrible fire that drove off many people who tried to help. He is identified as Calisto Mendonca, 49, of Brampton. The two-car crash happened at around 8:45 p.m. at Bovaird Drive and Gillingham Drive, west of Main Street. All four died in the appalling fire that followed. The flames are seen below in video by Andre Collins. Fire rescuers were helpless to save anyone by the time they arrived.

The northbound lanes of the Don Valley Parkway have been re-opened after a long closure Monday evening for what police called a medical emergency. News media Tuesday played down the story and it seems certain that the incident was related to a fall from the Milwood Bridge.

Among world happenings in places where there is no Thanksgiving today,  UK Chambers of Commerce say businesses are less likely to invest because of  Brexit but somehow that does not seem to have bothered consumers. Have a listen.

Elsewhere, The Who has rocked lovers of their cranky old rock and roll at the Desert Trip Music Festival in Indio, California and Madame Tussaud has unveiled a wax Justin Bieber, tats and all. Who are we to say? Finally, here is the whole Reuters budget for Monday, October 16, 2016.

Tweets on the official Toronto Hydro account suggest that the outage in the area bounded by Lawrence Avenue to the south, Hwy. 401 to the north, Victoria Park Avenue to the east and the DVP to the west is coming to an end. At shortly before 10 a.m. Monday the utility said 500 customers remained unserviced. It is said that underground equipment failed.

All power has been restored to customers in the DVP/Victoria Park/Lawrence/401 area. Thanks for your patience today and Happy Thanksgiving!
