Raymond's School. The new school is set to begin construction this spring. Losing this public space would rip the heart out of the area. The Frankel Lambert neighbourhood is a diverse community, home to one of the highest concentrations of cooperative housing in the west end of Toronto. The residents are already facing a deficit of services, which would be made worse if the St. Bruno's site were to be turned over to private interests. This Motion requests the General Manager, Social Development, Finance and Administration, to work with the Toronto Catholic District School Board to investigate the potential for a Community Hub providing social and/or recreational services to operate at the St. Bruno's Catholic Elementary School site after the property is declared surplus.
