A few weeks ago, there was a terrible tragedy at First Roots Early Education Academy in Richmond Hill, which saw a vehicle crash into that building. As a Catholic community, our prayers are with everyone affected by this incident, and especially with the family who lost their child. May the Lord bring peace and comfort to all those injured, grieving and those who have returned to the Creator. The York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) has been investigating what more can be done to protect all the children who are in our care, and especially those attending child care centres in our schools. YCDSB schools are safe, and we are always seeking ways to enhance safety further. For that reason, you will notice some changes to the parking arrangements at our school, pending Ministry of Education direction on permanent solutions. Some parking spots near our child care centre will no longer be available to families (blocked off by pylons). Accessible parking spaces will be unaffected by these changes. We recognize that this may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding as we take these steps to protect the children at our school. As we consider the safety of our students, we also want to thank our parents for operating their vehicles safely when dropping off and picking up their children. Your small actions make a big difference in ensuring the safety of our community.
