He is a familiar face to residents of a neighbourhood just west of Roncesvalles Avenue.
James Makusa is shown on the job as a crossing guard in Toronto's west end on Oct. 23. Each weekday, James Makusa can be seen helping kids and parents on their way to and from school. In his reflective yellow vest, and with a broad smile on his face, Makusa greets many of the kids by name, and can be heard telling their parents to have a great day, as he crosses back and forth over Garden Avenue and Sunnyside Avenue.“I’m here for green pastures you know,” Makusa told CTV News Toronto.
“I’ve been applying to Air Canada, I’ve applied to Amazon” he said. ‘I’ve been applying to those, Walmart, anywhere.” Fortunately, Makusa didn’t do that. But what he did do was take to social media. He posted in the neighbourhood Facebook group, asking anyone in the community if they might have any leads for someone who is willing to do almost anything.
