Attached is the final consultants report for the Avenue Road Avenue Study.

Construction Notice (Unknown document type, 67 KB)TDSB Pools in Ward 16 (Ward 16)
April 7, 2008
Dear Neighbour,
On April 3rd, Howard Goodman and I met with parent representatives from Allenby, Glenview, Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute and the North Toronto Aquatics Club to discuss ... (more) how we might keep the school pools in our area open.
The TDSB is facing a $40 million deficit and has not been given funding for these pools. The City, which provides funding for 33 TDSB pools to provide programming through Parks and Recreation, has already set its budget for the year. The Province has been clear that no special funding for Toronto's school pools will be made available in the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, the Eglinton-Lawrence community places a high value on our pools, and it is clear to both of us that the community is going to be the key to preserving our local school pools in the both the short and long-term.
As your elected representatives, we already have some promising ideas that we are actively exploring, and we are committed to working closely together to keep these important community assets available for all members of our community. These are valuable legacies built by previous generations, and we do not intend to be the ones who see them abandoned. We have received hundreds of emails from community members who are also committed to ensuring that the next generations have the same opportunities to learn to swim as the previous ones have enjoyed.
Over the next few weeks we will develop proposals that we will bring to the community for consideration. If you would like us to keep you informed of our progress or provide us with your thoughts on these pools, please send an email to either Councillor_Stintz@toronto.ca or Howard.Goodman@tdsb.on.ca.
Sincerely,
Karen Stintz - City Councillor, Ward 16
Howard Goodman - TDSB Trustee
