On the agenda
As the city filed it
Inglenook Community School is an important outdoor space, historical site and education facility in the Downtown East. Located at 19 Sackville Street, the Toronto District School Board has identified the need for capital investments on the site, primarily the property's fence along the east side of Sackville Street, north side of Eastern Avenue and south side of Virgin Place. This work provides an opportunity to invest in public realm enhancements that will highlight the site's history and welcome visitors.

The decorative fence will feature panels of artwork designed in collaboration between students at Inglenook Community School and a local artist. It will also be outfitted with lighting to support enjoyment of the space throughout the year. Prior to receiving the funds, the Toronto District School Board will be required to sign a Community Access Agreement which will contain provisions governing the purpose of the funds, the financial reporting requirements, and access to the playground at the school. The Community Access Agreement will be executed between the City and the Toronto District School Board, drawn up in consultation with the local Councillor.
