His statement comes amid a growing outcry from the community over the project near Yonge and Eglinton and the possibility that the Toronto District School Board will relocate the students next fall. Among the sites under consideration is Vaughan Road Academy, about 6 kilometres southwest of John Fisher, which is slated to close this June and would raise another challenge related to transportation. Relocating “would destroy the school,” Shams said, because many parents have already indicated they wouldn’t travel to another location. The company has heard the concerns and will work with the city, school board, and local politicians to allay those and to minimize disruption, he wrote. “As parents and long-standing members of the Yonge and Eglinton community, the safety of students, parents, teachers and all others around John Fisher Junior Public School is our number one priority,” he said.
