As the city filed it
For the lands known municipally as 60 and 70 Esther Lorrie Drive, approved in 2009 for redevelopment, the City secured $150,000 in Section 37 funds for improvements to Sunnydale Acres Park. The funds were secured by a Section 37 Agreement registered on title, between the City and TMDL (60 Esther Lorrie) Inc. A payment of $150,000 has been received and remains unspent. It has been determined that funds are no longer required for Sunnydale Acres Park as the playground was replaced in 2010 using funding from the Provincial and Federal Government through the Recreation Infrastructure Canada Program, which helped fund upgrades and improvements to recreational infrastructure in Ontario.
