On the agenda
As the city filed it
In 2014, City Council negotiated funds for Beverley Junior Public School for a barrier-free playground project. The school has supported the educational needs of students with developmental and/or physical disabilities since the 1950s, and was originally used as a training site for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. The funds will be used to create a sensory garden project for students and community members alike.

The City of Toronto secured funds under Section 37 of the Planning Act with the owners of the development at 245-255 College Street and 39 and 40 Glasgow Street, authorized by site-specific Zoning By-law 780-2016(OMB). The associated Section 37 Agreement provides that certain funds shall be used specifically for "the sensory garden project at Beverly Junior Public School at 64 Baldwin Avenue".
