If you’re planning to buy a house in the Greater Toronto Area, be prepared to go to war.

As demand in the local housing market increases substantially on an almost monthly basis, so, too, does the number of bidding wars.

Graham Jones, a Re/Max Hallmark agent who has worked in the industry for 25 years, just sold a house in a bidding war that netted his clients a substantial profit.

Their Richmond Hill bungalow was listed for $899,000. There were nine bidders and the property sold for $1.43 million.

He compares the sale to “winning the lottery” for his clients.

“It was underpriced a little bit to set up the bid-ding war, but still, it set records all over the place,” Jones said.

“We had three bidders that were just beating the living daylights out of each other. We didn’t know where they were going to stop. It’s a nice home, but it’s a 65-year-old, 900-square-foot bungalow on a 50-foot lot. They (sellers) are so happy. I can’t even

Right now, our dollar is trading at about 80 cents against the American greenback. The British pound and the Euro are also highly valued against our money. That allows foreign investment in the GTA market. “They’re purchasing a $300,000 property for $220,000 US,” Royal LePage sales representative Wasim Jarrah said. “To them, that’s a great deal.”

ROOT CAUSES

We’re not building new homes fast enough to support demand. Also, Baby Boomers are choosing to stay in their homes, rather than downsize.“If you look at the number of housing starts compared to population growth, we’re just not building homes fast enough,” Joe Asensio, of JN Asensio Realty Inc., said.

INVENTORY SHORTAGE

They’re helping to stabilize the economy and make home purchases much more appealing, Asensio said.“The real estate market is going to stay nuts for a long time yet,” he said.

INTEREST RATES AT HISTORIC LOWS

In northern York Region and some areas of southern Simcoe County, for example, Chinese buyers are bidding amounts substantially above asking price. Wasim Jarrah estimates Chinese bidders account for 60 per cent of people placing bids in multiple-offer situations in the area.

begin to tell you. They’re retir-ing and going to buy a piece of property up north and build a house. They got way more money in their pocket than they expected. They’re abso-lutely thrilled. Every deal I’ve done in the past two years has been multiple offers.”

It seems this story is becoming commonplace.

The Toronto Real Estate Board reported a 12.6-per-cent increase in home sell-ing prices in April, when compared to the same period l a s t y e a r. The average home sold for $766,472 in Toronto in April, compared to $690,658 in April 2015. Throughout the rest of the GTA, average prices also increased from $605,336 in April 2015 to $724,235 this year.

The increase is blamed on several factors. Interests rates

are at or near record lows, the Canadian dollar lags behind other world currencies and, historically, GTA real estate is a relatively safe investment gamble.

“Our real estate, in world dollars, is still much cheaper than in Washington or London,” Mark Weisleder, a partner in Vaughan’s RealEstateLawyers.ca LLP

f i r m , s a i d . “Even if it’s increased, it’s a good invest-ment for for-eigners.”

Immigration does play a role in driving the market upward. The Ontario government estimates about

100,000 immigrants move into the province each year. Many of those people settle in the GTA.

Between Aurora in York Region and Innisfil in Simcoe County, there appears to be an influx of Chinese buyers.

“They can move their family here while still finding

special report

While a property may be incredibly attractive and well staged, those lovely accents will disappear once the seller packs up. Establish price margins before putting in an offer on a home. “You can’t get emotional. Leave the emotion at home. You need to feel good about this win, not think, ‘I got this house, but at what price?” Joe Asensio, of JN Asensio Realty Inc., says.

DON’T GET EMOTIONAL

‘leave emotion at home’TIPS FOR BUYERS

This will allow you to feel more comfortable with simpli-fied purchase conditions. Mini inspections have become more popular in the GTA as the housing market heats up. An inspector will check mechanical systems, struc-ture, dampness and the “bones” of the house.

GET A HOME INSPECTION

If you like the property, make sure the seller knows you’re serious. “If 10 people show up, one guy has a cheque and nine don’t, he may not have the best offer, but he’s a sure deal,” Asensio says.

CHEQUE IN HAND

Make sure the house doesn’t cost you a social life. It’s important to be able to spend a night on the town every once in awhile. If necessary, look north into smaller markets, such as Simcoe County.

DON’T LIVE FOR YOUR MORTGAGE

‘We’re just not building enough homes’

Poker face — While you may be excited or overwhelmed when bids come in, it’s important to keep emotions in check. “The bidding process can be fun to watch,” Asensio says. “Even if you love the offer, stay calm. Nobody’s supposed to know your reaction.”

POKER FACE

‘stay calm’TIPS FOR SELLERS

This will cover you in case the proposed buyer has to back away. Deposits don’t necessarily end up in the hands of the sellers. In many cases, that money actually ends up in trust accounts held within the real estate industry. “Those cheques don’t go anywhere; they’re just lost,” Asensio says.

CLOSING INSURANCE

Consider purchasing the next property before placing your current home on the market. This lessens the risk of market fluctuations and ensures there’s a place for you to go after you sell. “You’ve got to do it within the same time (period),” Weisleder says. “Otherwise, you’re speculating whether the market will go down or up and you could be without a place to live.”

ANOTHER HOME LINED UP

affordable housing,” Royal LePage sales representative Wasim Jarrah, who works out of an office in Aurora, said. “Chinese buyers are savvy. They like to negotiate and feel like they’ve got a good deal. It’s the same thing that happened to Markham, and for the Italians in Vaughan. It’s a very healthy real estate market. Even when people are purchasing in multiple offers, they’ll realize a profit if they stay in their properties for up to three years. The (current) sellers are making a sizable profit as well.”

There’s also a significant lack of inventory — a combi-nation of slowly progressing new construction sites and an apparent unwillingness by aging Baby Boomers to sell their homes and downsize.

“If you look at the number of housing starts compared to population growth, we’re just not building homes fast enough,” Joe Asensio, of the Brampton-based JN Asensio Realty, said.

“You see homes going up everywhere, but they’re all sold before they even build them. I’m on the tail end of the Baby Boomers; this will sound terrible, but we’re just not dying fast enough. People need somewhere to live; there just isn’t enough affordable housing available. This trend will continue for a long while. The real estate market is going to stay nuts for a long time yet. I don’t know whether there’s a need to slow it down.”

Asensio is involved in multiple-offer scenarios daily. He watched 51 offers roll in for a property in Brampton recently and admits the number of bids on homes in the area will often enter double digits.

Jones agrees with these assessments that Asian buyers, low interest rates and short supply have driven the housing market. However, some sectors are in higher demand than others. For example, townhouses and condominiums are not gen-erally seeing the same per-centage increases in value as freehold homes.

“People don’t have a lot of options,” Jones said. “It’s impossible to tell whether it’s foreign or domestic money, but there’s certainly a lot of Asian buyers who are des-

perately trying to get free-hold properties in the GTA. Condos and townhouses still sell, and you might even get the occasional bidding war, but it’s two offers or three. Condos have gone up, but it’s not what’s driving the market.”

Prime market conditions are leading to high demand for houses.

Jarrah says any York Region property, for example, cur-rently listed at an appropriate market value, will likely fetch $50,000 to $100,000 more than asking price, if there’s an offer presentation date attached. That date is key because it forces all potential buyers to make blind bids on the property.

“It creates an atmosphere of competitiveness,” Jarrah said.

“No one really knows what that offer price is or what the conditions are. I don’t know what the offer is, but if I want that house, I’m going to put in a lot more money and take out conditions for inspection and financing and everything else. Given there’s a shortage of housing on the market, people want to get into the market and they have to compete.”

Of the more than 120 houses that were listed in Newmarket in early May, for example, nearly 110 had offer dates attached, Jarrah said.

However, the hot market is creating some unintended consequences. With prices jumping so quickly, banks are having difficulty accurately gauging property values. So lenders are starting to ask pur-chasers to come up with larger down payments, to make up for the significant difference between the assessed value of the home and its purchase price.

“Every home has a reason-able limit to what it’s worth,” Asensio said. “We’ve had a couple of scenarios where we’ve actually turned down offers because they were so high you can’t finance to these levels. We’ve turned offers away that were astro-nomical for the value of the area. That’s a hard decision. The need and the greed of the seller factors in.”

Bidders also often exclude some standard conditions from their offers, including

home inspections. The deci-sion is putting purchasers at risk.

“It’s a scar y thing,” Weisleder said. “The pres-sure is high to put in an offer without conditions, in order to win the bidding war. When you put in an offer without conditions, you could have all kinds of serious problems with the property condition after closing, which could c o s t w h o knows how much money to fix.”

The market is also forcing first-time homebuy-ers to look for cheaper properties farther north, in munici-palities such as Barrie, Essa Township, Georgina and Innisfil.

“Newmarket is not a first-time homebuyer community anymore,” Jarrah said, noting the market should stay hot for another 12 to 18 months.

Others aren’t sure the market will slow down by then.

“Are we overpriced?” Asensio said “Realistically… not really. We’re still one of the most affordable areas in the country. I don’t believe we’re in a bubble and I don’t foresee that prices are going to drop anytime soon.”

While rising home values may excite potential sellers, they need to remember that other houses are also jump-

ing in price. So, the hike may negate some of their gains when they try to purchase another property.

Sellers should con-sider buying t h e n e x t

house first, before listing their current property — a decision that will ensure a smoother transition between homes.

Buyers, meanwhile, are advised to stay within their means, even if that forces them to walk away from a bidding war.

“Don’t sacrifice everything to make that mortgage pay-ment,” Weisleder said.

“We’ve turned offers away that were astronomical for the value of the area. That’s a hard decision. The need and the greed of the seller factors in.”

Earlier this year, Mayor John Tory impressed with his evidence-based approach to leader-ship.

Remember that? How faced with evidence that his SmartTrack heavy rail plan couldn’t work as planned, and a three-stop Scarborough subway would be unaffordable, Tory listened to expert advice and admitted he’d been wrong?

Tory displayed brave and refreshingly flexible leadership, and it promised great things for the remainder of the term. It’s a shame to think that the virtues of 2016 might be a short-lived blip.

Last week, Tory and his Executive Committee received more expert advice – this time from city manager Peter Wallace – about the sorry state of the

city’s finances.Wallace made it clear the city

is headed for a financial wall, possibly as early as 2017 and certainly soon after.

It has been a long time coming.

Toronto council has managed to increase services the same

time as it’s kept property tax increases low for about a decade, thanks to circumstances beyond council’s control and that cannot continue. The city’s red hot real estate market has meant that the land transfer tax has increased by about 150 per cent, and the province has been steadily uploading welfare costs.

It was nice while it lasted, and it let councillors and the single-family homeowners they were elected by off the hook.

Well, no more. Wallace made it clear that Toronto politicians need to impose new and reliable revenue tools, and also take better advantage of the major revenue tool they have: property taxes. If they don’t, then service cuts, possibly unpalatable ones, are inevitable.

Tory and his Executive Committee didn’t buy it. Our mayor, in particular, advanced the non sequitur argument that because nearly all voters supported mayoral candidates who wanted taxes kept at the rate of inflation, Wallace’s analysis didn’t fly. Or to put it another way: uninformed opinion ought to trump irrefutable fact.

We understand at some point, a mayor has to dig in on an election promise, and this mayor has let a number of his promises slide already. But with the future of the city clearly at stake, surely the mayor can bow to reality...just this once more.

Toronto council must heed evidence on city’s finances

One election promise mayor should break

A bright flash of reason emerged in the haze of Toronto’s new war on drugs this week, when the Toronto Board of Health supported a Joe Cressy motion to essen-tially ask the federal govern-ment what ought to be done about marijuana over the next year or so.

That’s how long Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have given them-selves to come up with legislation governing soon-to-be-legalized marijuana use. New MP and former Toronto police chief Bill Blair is taking the lead on crafting the legislation, and taking appropriate time doing it, so when it finally shows up in the spring of 2017, expect premium law.

Until then?Well legally it’s pretty

straightforward. Trafficking marijuana remains illegal. It is a criminal offence to do so. It is legal to dispense marijuana for medical purposes, but the law as written is restrictive enough that the Supreme Court

has ordered the federal government to make up a new one.

Looked at through that lens, the raids police and bylaw officials conducted last week on storefront medical marijuana dis-pensaries are entirely appropriate, and the 90 individuals, many of them hourly employees, will deserve what they get.

It doesn’t matter if the law will be changed to something excellent for pot smokers a year or so from now: right now the law is the law and that is that.

Trouble is that the legal lens is not the only lens through which we view this.

Marijuana was, is, and will be a widely used drug. It has harmful effects, but those effects exist within a range that most reasonable people find tolerable, the same as they tolerate alco-

hol and tobacco. The major harm mari-

juana does has to do with its illegality: it funds crimi-nal organizations and puts otherwise innocent people in jail. The reason we are on the road to legalizing mari-juana stems in part from those views.

So, what’s wrong really with the proliferation of storefront operations in flagrant violation of the soon-to-be laws?

The answer is that there is plenty wrong, when you look at it through a third lens: that of public health.

According to the report before the board of health this week, there are significant health risks associated with the heavy consumption of the drug, particularly for those who begin their use of it in ado-lescence. It impacts brain development, and it may trigger psychotic disorders in people genetically prone to them.

It’s not nearly the gateway drug some argue

it is, but limited studies indicate it can, in some, increase the risk of going on to more dangerous drugs. And there is a small risk of dependence, and respiratory effects. There is a small amount of evidence that cannabis can cause developmental issues in pregnancy, and dangerous impairment while driving an automobile.

There is something of a haze over all this, because marijuana’s illegality has limited the amount of research on its impacts.

That haze is unavoidable, and will only be cleared in time. But in setting the long timetable for legislative clarity, the federal govern-ment does owe Toronto and the rest of the country some guidance on how to deal with this substance that until then is neither here nor there.

Doors Open Toronto saw numerous buildings across the city open their doors for members of the public to visit.

For more than two decades, former National Ballet of Canada principal dancer Aleksandar Antonijevic was in front of a camera, performing on stage as a renowned ballet dancer.

These days, the 10-year Upper Beach resident spends most of his time behind the lens of a camera as a successful photographer.

Seven years ago, Antonijevic, who officially retired from professional dancing in 2014 after an illustrious 23-year career with the National Ballet of Canada, found a new pas-sion in photography.

Antonijevic, who is originally from Serbia but has called Toronto home since 1991, admits he didn’t know what his life would look like without dance.

“Dance was such a huge part of my identity. It was tough to consider the next steps,” he said.

On a whim, Antonijevic said he decided to get a camera for his 40th birthday. Growing up in Serbia, his step-father was into hobby pho-tography and he thought he’d give it a try.

“It became really obvious right away that it was something really natural to me,” Antonijevic said, adding photography was also some-thing that often accompanied his career in dance.

“As a dancer and a performer, we’re often around photographers and I’ve been photographed for some campaigns. I felt I had a good eye for angles. I was mindful of the light and position.”

Two years later, Antonijevic was invited to photograph the National Ballet’s dress rehearsals in Ottawa for its 2009 show, Sleeping Beauty.

“I have no formal training but I have an aptitude for photogra-phy and capturing angles,” said Antonijevic.

“My goal was to be a professional photog-

rapher recognized for my artistry.

My biggest

passion is fine art photography. I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am to have discovered photog-raphy.”

In May 2010, Antonijevic exhib-ited his first solo show in the west end of Toronto.

He has also done two other original bodies of work, namely InFORMants, which was part of the 2013 CONTACT Photography Festival, and Till We Meet Again, A Love Letter, which was part of the same festival’s 2014 edition.

Antonijevic’s third original body of work is titled Voyage into a Sacred Harbour. The two-year project fea-tures 20 nude photographic works of 12 current dancers from the National Ballet of Canada. Each model was photographed in a natural state without any makeup.

The intimate images in his latest show, which were selected from more than 15,000 shots, aim to capture the shapes and shadows of the meticulously trained body in its most vulnerable form.

Each print is a limited edition of five.

The exhibit runs until June 9, Tuesdays through Saturdays from

noon to 6 p.m., at Berenson

Canadian abstract/contemporary visual artist Andrew Stelmack credits the success of his career in art to his debut 10 years ago at the Riverdale Art Walk (RAW).

Stelmack, a former Beach resident who has lived in Regent Park near Dundas and Parliament streets for the last three years, said he couldn’t be more grateful the organizers of the popular art crawl gave him an opportunity to showcase and sell his work in June 2006.

“That whole experience was my spring board and it gave me the confidence to try new things. The Riverdale Art Walk was a chance to put myself out there and get real feedback from the public,” said Stelmack, a native of Winnipeg, Manitoba who has called Toronto home since 1991.

“That first year, I sold everything. It was ridiculous and I was dumb-founded.”

Stelmack, who has participated in the RAW six times, has gone on to take part in numerous art shows and exhibits. His pieces are regularly on display at Toronto’s St. Germain and PI Creative galleries as well as at galleries in Oakville, Prince Edward County, and Ottawa.

Stelmack has also recently been working on setting up gallery spaces in the lobby of two condos in Liberty Village.

Prior to becoming a visual artist, Stelmack worked as a theatre, film, and TV actor.

After four years of performing in the Toronto production of The Lion King, Stelmack said he was burned out and in need of an extended break to recharge.

On a whim, he decided to try his hand at visual arts.

“It was totally random. I literally had never picked up a paint brush,” said Stelmack, whose pieces are now found in scores of private and corporate collections across Canada and the United States.

“I seemed to have a good eye for colour and people often asked f o r m y advice when paint-

ing their homes.”His gamble paid off as scores of

people took to his colourful, abstract works.

“I like to use really bold, strong colours,” he said, about how he tries to create pieces that convey calm within the chaos.

“The more you look at my pieces, the more you’re drawn into them.”

Stelmack said a good friend sug-gested he apply to take part in the Riverdale Art Walk and the rest, as they say, is history.

This weekend, Stelmack will once again be showcasing and selling his pieces in the 18th annual edition of the Riverdale Art Walk.

The two-day fine art exhibition will feature more than 180 estab-lished and emerging artists exhibit-ing painting, photography, mixed media, printmaking, drawing and sculpture.

It takes place Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in retail spaces on Queen Street and

at Leslieville’s Jimmie Simpson Park.

Maya was shocked by the change in her hair.Fullness and volume were replaced by thinnessand lifeless hair. She had to do something.

The hair I found in mybrush, in the shower andon my cardigan was unfa-miliar to me. It was thinninglike never before. How couldthis be happening?

I had to do somethingI found out my mother expe-rienced the same problemswhen she was younger, andshe simply accepted her fate.But so much of my personal-ity is in my hair, and I didnot want to have the sameproblems. I had read aboutthe importance of hair nutri-ents, so I decided to focus onthe inside rather than on theoutside, and went looking fora good supplement.

My hair now feels fullerI was recommended anatural product called HairVolume™. I have now usedit for 2 months and I am re-ally satisfied with the prod-uct.

Residents of the Upper Beach have had enough of smashed windshields, ransacked vehi-cles, theft from their homes and automobiles, and other recent petty incidents of van-dalism.

Last Thursday, about 25 community members gath-ered at Community Centre 55 to talk about ways to curb property-related crime in their neighbourhood.

“We’re here to have an idea exchange. This is hopefully going to be the start of some-thing,” said Aaron McIntosh, who organized the inaugural meeting of the Kingston Road Village Community Watch Group.

“I’m hoping you’ll walk away tonight with some sense we are going to try to do something.”

Those in attendance were

invited to share their con-cerns and talk about what they could do to prevent these types of destructive crimes from occurring.

Some of the tips offered included installing better lighting and security cam-eras, even dashcams. Crime prevention audits and patrols around the community were also discussed.

One of the first things, McIntosh said he’d do is put together crime prevention information for residents.

“It’s about spreading the word, not spreading fear,” he said. “What we can do is educate and actually build a presence like a community watch.”

All in attendance agreed that strengthening the lines of community between each other and the police would be key is addressing crime, which has seen an increase in the last two or so months.

Const. Jon Morrice of 55 Division’s Community Response Unit as well as Ward 32 Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon attended the meeting.

Morrice said it’s a question of neighbours being more vigilant.

“Let your presence be known. Let potential vandals know they’ve been seen,” he suggested.

Morrice also said it’s important residents work with police and report crimes, no matter how small they are, as investigators can start a file and keep tabs on problematic areas in the community.

McMahon reminded those at the meeting that despite the recent spate of incidents, Ward 32 is one of the safest areas of the city.

9:30 a.m. | METRO HALL | 55 John St.

The Toronto Licensing Tribunal (TLT), a seven-member panel that hears matters relating to a variety of licenses issued by the City’s Municipal Licensing and Standards Division, has permanently revoked the eating establishment license of a hookah lounge at 1530 Danforth Ave., just west of Coxwell Avenue.

The establishment, which

was previously known as Rotana Café and more recently Cloud 9 Café, has been the scene of three murders in three years.

The latest incident hap-pened Sunday, April 16 when 20-year-old Abdullah Farah of Toronto was killed in a drive-by shooting.

Following this murder, the TLT immediately suspended

Cloud 9 Café’s business license and requested an expedited hearing at the tribunal regard-ing revocation of the establish-ment’s license.

On May 18, the city’s licens-ing tribunal reached its deci-sion and ordered the cafe’s managing director, Hussein Souddo, to immediately sur-render his business license.

Resident Jan Breuls-Dorang

was “ecstatic” to hear this news. “This has taken over my life for at least a year,” she said during a recent interview.

Breuls-Dorang attended the TLT hearing last month and said she couldn’t believe what she learned was going on there.

“We were shocked by the number of police calls to that address,” she said.

Just more than a year ago, 21-year-old Abdiweli Mohamed Yusuf was fatally shot outside what was then known as Rotana Café. The establishment had its license pulled, but continued operat-ing. Last September, the TLT reinstated the café’s license.

Beach resident Dominic Parker was also stabbed to death there in September

2013. Late last year, Nabil Huruy, who has a mental health disorder, was found to be not criminally responsible for his death.

A child-care centre is now slated to go into 1530 Danforth Ave. and three adjoining store-fronts.

The Mirror made a number of attempts to reach Souddo but didn’t hear back.

The City of Toronto’s City Planning Division, together with the TTC, is planning a new rapid transit line to connect the Yonge-University-Spadina Subway downtown to theBloor-Danforth Subway east of the Don River. This line will relieve crowding on Line 1 (Yonge-University-Spadina Subway), at Yonge-Bloor Subway Station, and on the surface transitroutes coming in and out of downtown. Toronto City Planning and TTC will present the results of the evaluation of alignment options and proposed location for station entrances.

The City of Toronto and TTC, together with Metrolinx, are working to bring more transit tocommunities across the city with connections throughout the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.In addition to the meeting on the Relief Line, additional public meetings are being held to helpyou learn more about integrated transit planning and provide your feedback on key studiesunderway, including SmartTrack, Scarborough Transit Planning and Waterfront Transit “Reset”.

If you’re taking the Sheppard line you may notice an unfamiliar sight on the rails.

As of this week, the TTC has begun to run smaller versions of Toronto Rocket subway trains – the vehicles which let you pass from one end to the other unim-peded.

The TTC board selected Line 4 as the location for testing trains with four cars instead of six, and one operator instead of two.

Under the new system, a single TTC operator is also responsible for traditional “guard” duties such as opening doors and moni-toring passengers entering and exiting the train.

With automatic train operation planned within five years, the TTC says this system is as safe as the cur-rent two-person arrange-ment.

wmetrolinx won’t add more parking

Metrolinx is balking at a TTC request to add more

parking at Kipling Station.The public transit plan-

ning agency is renovating Kipling to add a bus termi-nal, create better access for pedestrians and cyclists and add accessibility improve-ments to the existing GO station.

As part of the construc-tion Metrolinx plans to replace existing TTC park-ing spots and is negotiating with Hydro One to build a surface lot on the utility’s land east of Kipling Avenue for subway commuters.

But Metrolinx won’t boost parking on station grounds, as some members of the TTC board requested, citing incompatibility with the redevelopment. The TTC could still build a struc-ture of its own, but it would only create 250 spaces at a cost of $20 million to $40 million, according to Metrolinx.

wHUman error to Blame For open door

A door left open on a moving subway train while in ser-vice Friday evening was the result of human error, the TTC said.

The transit commis-sion’s board heard Tuesday proper procedures were not followed by the two-person crew in securing the damaged door. It appears the guard on the Bloor-Danforth train, responsible for operation of the train doors, failed to communi-cate to the train operator there was an issue.

The door was damaged sometime on the day of the incident, according to the TTC.

The TTC would not con-firm reports the guard was fired, as was claimed by the president of the tran-sit commission’s largest labour union.

The 13th edition of Red Bull BC One, one of the most important one-on-one b-boy competitions in the world, is coming to Leslieville Friday and Saturday.

Featuring b-boys El Nino and Taisuke, and former Red Bull BC One champion RoxRite alongside DJs Lean Rock and Skeme Richards, the event will be held at District 28, 28 Logan Ave., south of Eastern Avenue.

On Friday starting at 7 p.m., there will be an open cipher that will determine the 11 breakdancers who will move into the Canadian Open Cypher final the following night. This round is open to any b-boy or b-girl who thinks they have what it takes to enter the ring.

The next night, the Red Bull BC One Final will feature 16 of the best breakdancers from across Canada going

head to head for the chance to compete in the Red Bull BC One World Finals in Nagoya, Japan in December.

Tickets cost between $15 and $20 and can be purchased at www.eventbrite.ca/e/red-bull-bc-one-spectator-tickets-tickets.25182605852
