Authorization to Release Section 37 Funds from the Development at 847-871 Sheppard Avenue West to the Toronto Catholic District School Board towards Playground Improvements at St. Roberts Catholic School - by Councillor James Pasternak, seconded by Councillor Brad Bradford

In directing funds towards such a project, the green space and proposed park improvements can continue to be used by community members to supplement their access to local outdoor play structures outside of school hours. The Section 37 Implementation Guidelines (section 5.7) approved by Council in 2007 state that: "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 Toronto Catholic District School Board will sign an Undertaking governing the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements prior to the funds being released from the City.
