This news is VERY disappointing. From siblings getting spilt up to the grade 8s not having a proper last year..this decision has ZERO pros. You decide to put housing over education, yet don't realize the houses you are building will have children too! This cause needs to be addressed and not ignored! We are the future, yet we don't have a stable school community and have been having to move schools over and over again! Please think of a sensible outcome rather than us having to protest for this important matter.
Guneev supported: Urge Peel District School Board to complete Red Cedar PS buildingI am one of many students who are deeply frustrated by yet another delay in the construction of our school. We’ve been promised a proper building for years, and every time we get close, it gets pushed back again. It’s unfair to keep students in overcrowded or temporary facilities while new homes are being built around us. Education should be a priority, and right now it feels like we’re being forgotten. We need a stable, permanent place to learn—not more broken promises. If the people in charge won’t listen, then we, the students, will take matter in to our own hands and have our voices heard. This school needs to be built now, not later.
Aarav supported: Urge Peel District School Board to complete Red Cedar PS buildingAt a time when mental health is at the forefront on every sector, it seems the mental health of the Red Cedar community is not even an afterthought. The magnitude of what these children are experiencing is shaping their very future. It is disheartening to see them thrown around to crumbling holding cells in the name of schools, just like cattle. To play the land acknowledgment at board meetings and continue to displace these kids from their community seems like hypocrisy. Do better. No more excuses. Sort this horrendous mess out immediately. The children and the parents of this community are done making up for your mistakes and oversights.
Melanie supported: Urge Peel District School Board to complete Red Cedar PS buildingIt's really sad to see the Grade 8s lose their final year at our school. It was their chance to get through in a good way, and it's being taken from them without considering how much it will impact them. It's also stressful for families when children are separated and sent to other schools. All of these changes are taking a toll on students mental health we don't feel secure or supported. The school that they had committed to constructing in 2022, and now it's already 2025 and we're still being relocated. It makes me feel as though the people who are making decisions do not care about how much it is impacting us.
Swara supported: Urge Peel District School Board to complete Red Cedar PS buildingI am one of the many students that might have to be separated from our siblings because our building won’t be made in time for September. This is totally unacceptable because we had been promised to be at the new school in 2022 and is that true? NO. They need to start prioritizing building our school for once before building homes. Everyone is sick and tired of moving schools and for once we were promised a stable school to go to in September and that is being taken away from us. If nobody is going to stand up for this then students will be the ones to take action. This cause needs to be taken seriously.
Asees supported: Urge Peel District School Board to complete Red Cedar PS buildingI have lived in Weston for 72 years. During that time, I felt Western Arena was a central community gathering place. The free Saturday afternoon skates was where I learned how to skate. My grandchildren are now learning those same things along with ex experiencing the game of hockey for the first time. It is largely because we have an arena that is part of our community. Let us hope that it will continue to be that important and gathering place for our youth.
Brad supported: Save Weston Minor Hockey LeagueWeston Lions Arena is a historic part of our neighborhood. It is the only place for our children and youth to learn how to skate and play hockey in the area.
MLSE can surely find vacant space to build their Launchpad. Crossroads Plaza has an abundance of vacant store space that can be transformed into their vision. Please look into relocating this development! Let the kids play hockey!!
