As per the latest CreateTO Meeting update, a market offering is still targeted for Q2 2025. This target hasn't changed for a while now, so hopefully it sticks

How do these things get endlessly held up you ask?

Well....the below doesn't help any.

The elementary school at
770 Don Mills was not included as part of the Province’s 2025 “Support for School and
Child Care Infrastructure Projects” announcement of funded schools under the Capital
Priorities Program

This eternally delayed project has been waiting on Ministry of Education approval for the school planned here.

TDSB again requested MOE approval in a submission in Fall '25. Decision is expected before the end of next month. Whether that will be a positive???

In this case, at least at this point, only one of those is responsible for delay, and that's the province.

The school is essential is more housing is to be added to this area, it has been there choice to drag their heels and not approve it.

Now, if the province said 'yes' this month, we'll have to see if others could actually deliver on their obligations, but they're let off the hook by the province imposing an immovable road block.
