Metrolinx Construction of the Ontario Line
Metrolinx is building a new subway line called the Ontario Line that will connect Exhibition Place on the shores of Lake Ontario to the Ontario Science Centre at Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East. A portion of the Ontario Line will follow Pape Avenue. Construction activity will occur along Pape Avenue including the area in front of Pape Avenue Jr PS. The construction activity will change over time.
Regular meetings between school staff, TDSB central staff, and Metrolinx staff have been arranged to ensure the school community receives timely updates about the construction activities and its impact on Pape Avenue Jr PS.
