satellite closed today
February 23rd, 2011 by Anna Gionet No comments »There was an incident at the Satellite Site this morning, which resulted in the building being closed for the day.
The elevator motor continued to run overnight causing a fair amount of smoke to build up in the elevator room which eventually filtered through the rest of the building.
The fire department was called in and they suggested that the building be closed.
The Toronto District School board environmental team was also called into assess the air quality. It was under their advisement that the school was closed.
Extensive air quality testing will be undertaken through out the day, and the daycare will be advised as to the status of the building for tomorrow.
We recognize the hardship this places on our families and children, and we thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Please check back for further updates.

Five years after cancelling the national child care program: high cost, little choice for parents
February 6 marks the fifth anniversary of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cancellation of a national child care program. Child care advocates and women’s groups have a message for the government: Canada urgently needs a public system of early childhood education and care.
“Cancelling the national child care program has put a huge burden on low, modest and middle income families,” said Sue Delanoy of the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada. “Mr. Harper claims he’s delivered ‘choice in child care’ but the facts show that for most families, the options are severely limited. What families need is a quality system that’s accessible and affordable for everyone.”
