  • 2019 Preliminary Operating and Capital Budget Notes
    BUDGET NOTES Parks Forestry and Recreation What We Do We are the keepers of our common grounds – the parks, recreation facilities and natural spaces where Torontonians come together to make connections, develop skills, and build the kind of city in which we all want to live. In our role as builders, stewards and animators of these spaces, we ensure that our parks, playing fields, recreation centres, ice rinks and pools, along with our trails, forests, meadows, marshes, and ravines are beautiful, safe and accessible, that they expand and develop to meet the needs of a growing city, and are filled with vibrant, active, and engaged communities. Our work is divided into three services: • Community Recreation • Parks • Urban Forestry Why We Do It Parks, recreation and forestry services are key drivers of social and economic capital, contributing to Toronto's livability and overall health. It is in community centres and parks that children and youth first learn a new sport or skill, and where youth, adults and seniors build social networks and civic connection. Splash pads, playgrounds and picnic areas are our urban living room, where we meet our neighbours and develop community trust and safety. Our ravines and urban canopy provide access to nature right in our urban backyard, while performing a key ecological role and mitigating the impacts of severe weather in our city. A vibrant, healthy and accessible system of parks, recreation facilities and programs, healthy and growing natural environments and a strong and resilient urban canopy are essential to maintaining a livable and sustainable Toronto.

It’s hard to remember all of the great happenings at Birch Cliff since last September! As a community, Birch Cliff was able to have a strong focus on our four As (Academics, Arts, Athletics, and Attitude). Academically, all of our ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ students progressed in all subject areas including mathematics, language, science, social studies, the arts, and physical health. Thank you to all of the teachers and support staff who made this possible. The arts had a Theatre Troupe that did a fantastic job as well as the daily artwork done by the individual classes. In the athletics, we had a variety of clubs and teams, and of course our regular Phys. Ed. periods and DPA. Lastly, the attitude at Birch Cliff continues to become stronger. All of the positive energy and supportive members of our community make all of this possible. A special thank you must go out to our Parent Council who has put in endless hours of organization and fundraising to make a lot of what we do at Birch Cliff possible. Lastly, we are saddened by the announcement of Mrs. Muir’s retirement. We will miss her dearly as she has put in almost a decade of her time as the Principal of Birch Cliff.
