Activist remembered as leader
By John BARBER,
Page

Federal New Democratic Party Leader Jack Layton and Mayor David
Miller took time yesterday to offer glowing eulogies for activist
and politician Allan
SPARROW, who died of cancer Wednesday in
London, Ontario, at 63.
Mr.
Layton praised Mr.
SPARROW as "a good friend, mentor and
leader" who "inspired a generation of reform-minded progressives
with ahead-of-his-time thinking on environment issues."
To Mr. Miller, Mr.
SPARROW was the unbidden angel who organized
a successful grassroots movement to halt construction of a bridge
to the island airport - the defining issue of the election that
brought him to power in 2003.
"Allan SPARROW was a tireless crusader who believed passionately
in everything he did," the mayor said, describing his career
as "an inspiration to all those who believe in the potential
of Toronto."
As a downtown alderman in the 1970s, Mr.
SPARROW was a driving
force of the reform council led by former mayor David Crombie.
But just as often he was far ahead of the pack, championing gay
rights and police accountability at a time when most considered
the mere mention of such issues to be an act of political suicide.
Despite his popularity, Mr.
SPARROW left politics in 1980 to
let George
HYSLOP,
Toronto's first gay candidate for council,
run in his place.
He returned to the business world as a consultant specializing
in information technology, but threw himself into public life
once again after he and his wife, Susan, moved to the Toronto
Islands and found themselves living below the flight path of
a massively expanded airport.
Having stopped the bridge but not the airport, the
SPARROWs moved
to Stratford, Ontario, last year.
