On the agenda

As the city filed it

Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School currently does not have any play elements or structures for its students in the Grades 1-8 cohorts, and the surrounding neighbourhood is experiencing pressure on its existing playground structures due to residential development on and around Bloor Street West. This Motion seeks to direct Section 37 funding towards the Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School Student Parent Counsel Playground Revitalization Project.

This Project is the second phase of a 2-phase project to improve Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School's outdoor premises. Phase 1 was the installation of a community turf field that is subject to a Joint Shared Use Agreement between the City of Toronto and the Toronto Catholic District School Board. The purpose of the Project is to install a playground structure and develop outdoor play spaces for loose parts play, an accessible outdoor classroom, and learning gardens. The intended users of this space are Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School students and members of the community at large, particularly those who will reside in the condominium developments being built at Bloor Street and Montgomery Road as well as other condominium sites east and west of that intersection given the buildings' close proximity to Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School.
