On the agenda

As the city filed it

Winchester Junior and Senior Public School has requested the use of Winchester Park on a short-term, temporary, basis for additional student outdoor space while the school yard is under construction. Currently, there is no shared use agreement in place between the City and the Toronto District School Board that covers use of Winchester Park. This motion seeks City Council authority to waive the permit fees on a one-time basis to accommodate the outdoor recreation space needed for the duration of the construction.
