Everyone welcome!

The Toronto District School Board is considering a plan to revitalize its Lakeshore Collegiate campus and reuse the old Lakeshore Lions Memorial Arena as a community health and fitness facility. Starting in September 2009 the new arena will be open and the old arena and DonRussell Park will be leased to the school board for 50 years.

 Trustee Bruce Davis and a community revitalization panel have been working on a campus concept that would benefit children, teenagers, families and seniors. The features of this proposal include:

  • "The Lakeshore Center": Multi-purpose health and fitness centre that would serve all ages and include three gyms, dance studios, squash courts, indoor running track, fitness centre and change rooms;
  • A new Don Russell Park: a "village green" at the centre of the campus,designed for informal recreation, dog walking, basketball and a splashpad;
  • A new artifficial turf soccer/football field and two-season dome, used for Lakeshore Collegiate and local sports teams;
  • Seniors housing as part of the campus.
  • The future relocation of Gus Ryder Pool

Please note: this proposal will need your support if it is to become a reality. Please come to the open house to find out more and to make your feelings known. If you can't attend please email your comments to bruce.davis@tdsb.on.ca or call 416-393-1972.
