Comment
Please see attached TDSB submission on Bill 17.
The TDSB is appreciative of the Province’s efforts to make it easier and faster to build schools. The
two changes introduced through Bill 17 regarding portables and as-of-right permissions for schools,
while positive, will not have a significant impact in the Toronto context. Our understanding is that
there will be further changes to support a streamlined approvals pathway for schools through the
proposed new regulation under development by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing under
s.62.0.3 of the Planning Act. In that regard, we reiterate the comments made in TDSB’s submission
to the Province in May 2024.
