Memorial Park

TLC is working towards a real estate agreement with the City of Toronto and their real estate subsidiary, CreateTO, that will permit the City of Toronto to purchase certain TDSB lands at North Preparatory Junior School (Memorial Park) to form a part of the City’s Midtown Toronto Storm Sewer Relief Project (MTSSRP).

The MTSSRP is part of the City’s larger basement flooding protection program informed by a 2014 City study that recommended upgrades throughout the flood protection zone including the need to install additional stormwater storage capacity. The proposed best option was to install an underground storage tank on TDSB owned land at Memorial Park. In 2020, the TDSB Board directed TLC to negotiate an agreement based on key business terms that needed to be met for the agreement to occur.

In May 2022, in partnership with the City of Toronto, TLC hosted a successful public information session to share the current details about the site use and project timelines with the community and to solicit questions from the public regarding the project and its effect on school and community access to Memorial Park. This is a multi-million-dollar, multi year project will provide superior community flood protection while providing capital revenue for TDSB to address its own infrastructure needs.
