Authorization to Release Section 37 Funds from the Development at 700 Evans Avenue to Toronto Catholic District School Board for St. Ambrose Catholic School Field Turf Improvements - by Councillor Mark Grimes, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle

The field takes up a large portion of the school field, which leaves very little usable area for students and the community. The use of Section 37 funds is appropriate as the Section 37 Implementation Guidelines (section 5.7) approved by Council states: "Cash contributions toward the capital improvement of school board playgrounds are eligible S.37 community benefits where the playground serves as a local park, where the public will continue to have reasonable access for the foreseeable future, and where there is no local City-owned parkland performing a similar function in the same community that could otherwise benefit from the cash contribution." The funds will be forwarded to the Toronto Catholic District School Board once the School Board has entered into an Undertaking governing the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements prior to the funds being released from the City.
