Authorization to Release Section 37 Funds Obtained in the Development at 2, 4 and 6 Teagarden Court for Playscape Improvements at Hollywood Public School in Ward 18 - by Councillor Lily Cheng, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak

The latest expansion set to be completed by the summer of 2025, Hollywood Public School has had to give up their previous play yard in favour of the expansion, but has worked to preserve a small area dedicated to play, which will feature new climbing structures for the children. The parents of Hollywood Public School children are requesting from the city for partial funds in support of upgrading the school play yard that will provide more play value, not only to the children attending the school, but also the children within the neighbourhood. All upgrades will be accessible to the Willowdale neighbourhood, which will be providing a more distinct outdoor play space than available at nearby city parks. This space will be made accessible to over thousands of residents within a 2 kilometre radius. Reason for urgency: This motion is urgent in order to ensure the play structure is installed during the optimal summer months, it is crucial that the school receives funding now. Immediate support will prevent delays and result in cost savings, as the current contractor handling the expansion is able to complete this task as part of the current construction project.
