Crosswalk at Renforth and Toledo .... lets make it a reality

On November 13 at 6:30 the Eatonville Parent Council will be holding a Traffic Panel Meeting with special guests from the City of Toronto, Traffic Services Department; as well as our local Councillor, Deputy Mayor Stephen Holyday.

One of the issues on the agenda will be the need for a crosswalk on Renforth Drive, closer to Toledo.

As a lead up to this meeting I have created a petition for all in our area who recognize the need for this important safety infastructure which is long overdue.

Did you know that our school turns 60 in 2020?

The roads around us have changed a lot since Bloordale opened in 1960, wouldn't it be nice if this was the year we could give the gift of safety for all our current and future Bloordale students!

We have a plaque for 50 years on a rock outside our front door, perhaps a plaque near a new crosswalk this time, sounds like a nice idea don't you think!

Sponsorship Options Still Available

Have you noticed the sponsorship signs outside the main doors?  Have you thought about how many people drive past that each day, how many of our neighbourhood  residents walk past each day?  Now what about the exposure that is given to our sponsors on our website, in these newsletters, and even at the event itself?  Keep in mind that we promote the Fun Fair right across the area through our feeder schools, local library, independent businesses, and community bulletin boards. 80% of the profit of this event will go right back into the school to improve the technology that our students use each day. Ask your kids how much it is needed, they will be your best insight! With all this said, there are 3 different levels and if you or someone you know is a small business owner who is looking to help a good cause, please consider Bloordale Fun Fair Sponsorship.  Contact us via email and we will have our Sponsorship Lead Extraordinaire contact you w...
