Mean girls: Catholic school board to expropriate some North York homes

Ward 7 School Board Trustee Mike Del Grande

The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) decided Thursday night that 17 townhomes in North York will need to be expropriated and razed to build a new high school on the site.

The meeting presented three options: to expropriate all 30 homes in the Bayview Ave. complex near Cummer Ave., adjacent to a former TDSB elementary school; to expropriate no homes; or only some homes.

A 6-4 vote went with the middle-ground option, determining that homeowners to the south would be allowed to keep their homes.

Residents were allowed 20 minutes in total to speak about their concerns, while others argued the need for a permanent home for the secondary school.  (more...)
