Inflatable sports dome reduces community access to the sports field (now artificially turfed). The dome also obscures heritage views, of the school, from the sports field, from nearby streets and of its heritage landscape, from inside the school.

ACO Toronto provided ACO Associate Member, Harbord Village Residents’ Association with graphics and photographs to support the heritage views aspect of its campaign against this project. Mediation at the OMB produced improved community access and a less enormous dome that will fit inside the running track rather than cover the entire playing field.
