I am a mother of 2 young girls who when they were little studied in Downsview. This problem of underfunding our schools is nothing new. The TDSB has been short-changing our schools for the longest time.One thing I would have liked to have read in this article is; how do we as parents of children attending these schools change this.Tell parents and the community what we can do to help our schools. Parents need to speak up and be very active in what is going on in their children’s school.MiriamEvery year I receive my auto insurance renewal policy I have to wonder why I have an increase.I have no speeding tickets, I never make any claims and I don’t even drive my car to work, yet every year comes a hefty increase.This year it went up by $238. I've been with the same company since 2007 and to this date, the rates have increased by $1,006.I've lived at the same address for 10 years now and every year I search for quotes and end up staying with my present company. It’s not worth the hassle to change. Actually, my company is one of the cheapest. Lucky me, I get to pay $2,613 come May 1.JillianI have previously complained to a Downsview Municipal office regarding this problem, but I have yet to see a resolution. The traffic intersection at Keele and Sheppard is extremely dangerous. Drivers exiting both strip-malls, cross four lanes of traffic in order to exit in the opposite direction.There needs to be signs opposite, on both sides, indicating no left turn. Why has this not been done?Once proper signs are installed, hefty fines should be given which would very quickly put a stop to this horrendous practice. I have seen this type of sign in other parts of Toronto. Why can it not be done in the Dowsview area, where obviously some of the worst drivers in Toronto live? You can verify this fact by simply checking with your Vehicle Insurance Company, as local bad drivers cause Downsview to have one of the highest insurance rates in Ontario, and even the whole of Canada.N.
