PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT 12-013 2. Hamilton Municipal Heritage Committee Report 12-004 (Item 5.2)
(Morelli/Merulla) That the Hamilton Municipal Heritage Committee Report 12-004 be referred back to the Planning Committee for discussion. CARRIED ______________________________________________________________________
HWDSB applied for the demolition permit for Sanford Avenue School on November 13, 2012. The demolition permit was issued on December 21, 2012.
The people of Hamilton have been repeatedly told by HWDSB Trustees & Staff, City Staff, including the local media that SANFORD SCHOOL BUILDING is: UNSAFE HAZARDOUS TOXIC And to access this building a HAZMAT SUIT had to be worn!
This rationale was used by HWDSB to deny access to even those who were very keen on redeveloping this building into a community asset.
SPECTATOR FILE PHOTO.
Well, very recent pictures of the interior of the building have surfaced in the community and they tell an entirely different story! It clearly appears that the people of Hamilton have been misled about the hazardous conditions inside this building. The HWDSB, City councillors & staff, who have facilitated the demolition permit for Sanford School must explain their actions to the community and defend their decision in light of this new evidence. Are the conditions inside this building so toxic that the HWDSB Trustees can justify denying access before Sanford School is demolished? Judge the truth for yourself here --->>>

Terrazzo Floor on 2nd floor Hallway, in excellent shape > No leaks here.
AS EVERYONE CAN SEE CLEARLY, THIS BUILDING IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION INSIDE AND OUT, DESPITE ITS AGE AND THE NORMAL WEAR & TEAR OVER THE YEARS. WHY ALL THE SECRECY AND DUBIOUS INFORMATION, AROUND THIS BEING A HAZMAT SUIT ZONE? THE LOCAL RESIDENTS MAINTAIN THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CONSULTED ON THIS DEMOLITION. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT ONLY A FEW PARENTS OF THE CATHY WEVER SCHOOL, AND A FEW MEMBERS OF THE PINKY LEWIS REC CENTRE, WERE CONSULTED. THIS LIMITED CONSULTATION IS BEING PASSED OFF AS FULL-FLEDGED COMMUNITY CONSULTATION.
WHY HAS THE HWDSB MISLED THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS INSIDE SANFORD AVENUE SCHOOL?
The Sanford School Building is by all accounts in rough shape. Or, you have to wear a Hazmat suit to go inside!
Anecdotal reports by HWDSB and local media
PINKY LEWIS REC CENTRE EXPANSION NEW GYM THAT IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE SCHOOL!! (WAS THIS NOT WEVER SCHOOLS FIRST REQUEST IN 2005 ?) PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF SCHOOL BUILDING FOR NEW GREEN-SPACE & REC CENTRE EXPANSION
COMMON CRITICISM: The critics of demolition have no specific plans for developing this building.

SAVE SANFORD SCHOOL SAVE THE PAST SAVE THE PRESENT SAVE THE FUTURE THINK, BEFORE YOU ACT!
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT! We can destroy this, and remain the same kind of people. Or we can preserve it, and become the kind of people, we have always aspired to be.
