Christie’s Planning Study

The City recently completed the Christie’s Secondary Plan for the former Christie’s Bakery lands, located at the northeast corned of Parklawn Road and Lake Shore Boulevard West. The area is expected to accommodate approximately 9,185 to 13,125 new residents, where local elementary schools are already experiencing accommodation pressures. The TDSB identified the need for a new elementary school to accommodate growth in this area. TLC successfully secured the opportunity for a potential joint elementary school facility with the Toronto Catholic District School Board as part of the Secondary Plan process.

In May 2021, City Council approved the Christie’s planning instruments that permit the new TDSB elementary school, including the secondary plan, zoning by-law amendment and urban design guidelines. TLC will continue to work with the City and developer on the function and design of the future school.
