The push to save the dilapidated Davisville Junior Public School has been effectively stopped by a successful motion at Toronto and East York Council to defer discussion indefinitely. This is good news for those who work at the school and for proponents of a so-called neighborhood hub which would see additional community facilities built on the site of a new school. The motion to defer a discussion to declare the 1960 school a heritage site came from Josh Matlow (Ward 22). It passed 8-0 with four members absent. Locally, Councillor Wong-Tam was present and voted in favour. The Toronto Preservation Board had previously voted unanimously to save the school. Among the most compelling speakers at TEYC was Shona Farrelly, principal of Davisville PS.
