Ontario Helping Build New High School and Community Hub in Toronto
Ontario is supporting the construction of a new high school and community hub in Toronto, bringing modern learning facilities and community space to students and families in the Bloor-Dufferin neighbourhood.
The province is helping the Toronto District School Board build a new state-of-the-art secondary school that will accommodate approximately 900 students. Working in partnership with the Toronto District School Board, the City of Toronto, and local community groups, Ontario is also securing up to 30,000 square feet for a community hub on the proposed new site development, which will include a licensed child care centre and space for community programming.
This project reflects the government’s commitment to build better schools for better learning and to make it easier to create community hubs across Ontario. Community hubs improve the everyday lives of people in Ontario by offering multiple services, often in a highly integrated, client-centred way and under one roof.
Ontario is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, public transit, roads and bridges in the province’s history. To learn more about what’s happening in your community, go to Ontario.ca/BuildON.
Supporting strong communities is part of the government’s plan to create jobs, grow the economy and help people in their everyday lives.
