Follow-up on the investigation of Greater Toronto Area (GTA) schools
As the Commissioner’s Office noted in its investigation report,27 while the demand for French-language education programs continues to grow, some English-language public school boards in the GTA, in particular Toronto District School Board, were – and still are – experiencing declining enrolment, resulting in a surplus of school facilities that could be put to better use. In this context, the Commissioner’s Office plans to follow up on its investigation during the coming year.
