New Project - Book Club for Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers

Outside of the work being done behind the scenes we do need to remember that the year is not over yet and so we are looking to start an informal, informative, and fun way for families to connect. No matter where your kids are learning, in-school or virtually, we are a community and many of us are craving interaction with our friends and neighbours.

While we are not able to yet be together in person, we can use what we have and so I am putting together an online book club for any Parent, Guardian, or Caregiver who would like to spend an hour, once or twice a month, talking books!

This is a parent-led initiative and will be led by parent volunteers and not school staff. For more information please fill in the form and a separate email will be sent to those who wish to take part.

For planning purposes, please complete the form by Monday April 5th: https://forms.gle/G2K7fimFXMMzRnvB9

Moving Beyond Just One Week

While this is the end of the week of Truth and Reconciliation we as a community need to move forward and continue learning and taking part in ways moving towards reconciliation in the weeks, months, and years to come. To continue the journey learn and follow some if the many issues affecting our First Nation, Metis, and Inuit neighbours. Once you know more you may want to take part and help these communities bring change and support these crucial issues. > https://waterfirst.ngo/what-we-do/ > https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Calls_for_Justice.pdf > https://sixtiesscoopsettlement.info/ > http://www.northernpublicaffairs.ca/index/volume-5-issue-1/food-politics-finding-a-place-for-country-food-in-canadas-northern-food-policy/ > https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2021/07/22/covid-forces-increase-in-food-prices-decrease-in-food-options-in-northern-remote-ontario.html > https://www.ictinc.ca/blog/8-key-iss...

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!
