Free Access to TDSB space through Priority Schools Initiative
Priority Schools Initiative (PSI) - Community organizations can now have free after-hours access to space in 77 Toronto District School Board schools for the 2009/2010 school year.

With funding provided by the Ontario Ministry of Education through this initiative, community organizations providing community-based programs in high priority neighbourhoods can request for the free use of space either to run additional or satellite programming.
After-hours access starts from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m.to 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Sundays. (Times may vary for each school).
To apply for the free use of space under the Priority Schools Initiative, organizations are invited to complete an online request form on the Priority Schools Initiative website and one the Community Use of Schools Facilitators will contact you to process the request.
