Water levels measured ranged from 0.91 mbgs to 9.02 mbgs. Three wells were noted to be dry to depths ranging from 7.4 mbgs to 8.1 mbgs. The groundwater monitoring indicates that the shallow groundwater levels are generally between 6.5 mbgs and 9.0 mbgs within the Study Area, with the exception located at BH15-15 (in the vicinity of the tributary to Black Creek), where the static water level was measured 0.91 mbgs. Based on the design drawings, construction is unlikely to intercept the groundwater table and preliminary dewatering estimates indicate that the volume of excess water generated during earthworks is likely to be minimal, and would not require an Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR) or Permit to Take Water (PTTW). These estimates should be updated through the detailed design process when additional hydrogeological information becomes available. For the analyzed metals and inorganics parameters, chloride was the only parameter that exceeded the applicable standard at BH15-15, located within the Keele Street extension.

  • Toronto Foundation for Student Success
    June 2016 REPORT Hadden Family Foundation Helps Hungry Students And the children say THANK YOU! Updates and Overviews The Feeding Hungry Minds program continues to impact young lives in Toronto. Nutrition programs are selected based on their need and their ability to improve in order to become more self‐reliant. Quite often, your funding keeps their programs running while they work to access alternate funding sources and outreach to their parents and their local community. Feeding Hungry Minds continues to provide the right funding to the right schools at the right time. This year a total of 40 Student Nutrition Programs were part of the Feeding Hungry Minds program and 28 achieved sustainability. With food and housing costs rising at an alarming rate, more families are struggling to put food on the table. We are grateful for the special support that the Hadden Family Foundation has extended to the children of so many families in Toronto. The Feeding Hungry Minds program has also made a big difference in the lives of youth involved in beyond 3:30. These youth are safe, happy and engaged while learning new skills like cooking, how to budget and teamwork. These are skills that will last them a lifetime! The following 60 schools have been part of the Feeding Hungry Minds Program and are now in a strong and stable position: Albert Campbell C.I. North East Year Round Alternative Centre Edgewood P.S. Anson Road P.S. Oakridge Jr. P.S. Emery C.I. Banting and Best P.S. Orde Street P.S. Emily Carr P.S.

  • Toronto District School Board Annual Report
    TORONTO DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD ANNUAL REPORT: ENROLMENT IN FRENCH PROGRAMS IN 2016-17 AND 2017-2018 AND SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES OF FRENCH PROGRAMS IN 2017-18 TO Program and School Services Committee 8 June 2017 Day Month 2007 RECOMMENDATION IT IS RECOMMENDED that the report be received. STRATEGIC Make every school an effective school. DIRECTION CONTEXT The Early French Immersion program has been in Toronto schools since the early 1970’s. It began in a handful of schools and has grown over the years. At amalgamation, there were 41 Early French Immersion entry sites in the TDSB. In 2009, PR597 came into effect which allows for the accommodation of all families who apply by a deadline in an Early French Immersion or Junior Extended French program and outlined a process for program growth. Since 2009, 30 new sites have opened to accommodate growing demand in the program. Similarly, the Junior Extended French program began in 2004 in 7 schools and has since grown to 35 sites. Today, there is a French Immersion and Extended French program to serve every address in the Toronto District School Board and transportation is provided for students who meet the distance criteria. Each year staff is expected to provide an annual enrolment report in French programs. This year, the purpose of this report is to provide information about enrolment in French programs, as well as identify successes and challenges of French programs in 2017-18. Aligned with the Vision for Learning and the Integrated Equity Framework, equity of access to French programs is a key priority.

  • Bringing Queer and Trans Voices Into Creating Safe Inclusive Communities
    LGBTQ2+ Experiences of Public Safety in the Urban Form: Bringing Queer and Trans Voices into Creating Safe Inclusive Communities by Jen Roberton Honours B.A., University of Toronto, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN PLANNING in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Planning) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2016 © Jen Roberton, 2016 Abstract The Master’s thesis, “LGBTQ2+ Experience of Public Safety in the Urban Form”, seeks to find out how LGBTQ2+ inclusive cities can be planned and designed. Geographies of identity around visibility and passing are used to frame perceived safety in public spaces. Using the City of Toronto as a case study, the thesis unpacks the current state of perceived and experienced public safety as articulated by LGBTQ2+ people. Focus groups, interviews, an online survey and secondary readings are the data sources used. Quantitative and qualitative data on hate crimes and discrimination in Toronto are also triangulated to contextualize queer and trans experiences of harassment, physical assault, discrimination, microaggressions, verbal harassment and sexualized violence. This study challenges conventional feminist safety planning and the concept of normal/abnormal uses espoused by proponents of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) by bringing queer intersectionality to the forefront of discussion. Recommendations stemming from the collected data include sensitivity and inclusivity training for authority figures, poster campaigns on inclusivity, gender neutral bathrooms, better programming, and the breakdown of systemic barriers faced by LGBTQ2+ communities. ii Preface The research is conducted in partnership with METRAC, a Toronto based consulting non-profit that conducts safety audits with the goal of creating safer spaces for women and youth.
