Given current and anticipated development projects in the area, including the redevelopment of 1555-1557 Queen Street East and the Housing Now site at 1638 Queen Street East, there is a predicted increase in the number of students in the area, which could create pressure on the ongoing availability of space in the school. The purpose of this report is to report back on the expected impact of these pressures on Applegrove Community Complex's space and present options to ensure more secure tenure in the future. City staff recommend that a permanent site within a City-owned facility should be identified for Applegrove Community Complex.
