Residents have been deeply affected by the intrusive Ontario Line construction carried out by Metrolinx. One of the main construction sites has been at Pape and Langley, directly affecting the safety and quality of education at Pape Avenue Junior Public School and Pape Children’s House childcare centre at 220 Langley Avenue.

The Toronto District School Board has approved the temporary relocation of these facilities to the Adult Learning Centre located at 540 Jones Avenue for two academic years, from September 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027.

To support this relocation, Toronto Lands Corporation has requested a school bus zone on Carlaw at Badgerow to accommodate the 3 school buses transporting children from Pape Avenue Junior Public School and Pape Children’s House childcare centre cumulatively.
