"Le Conseil des écoles françaises de la communauté urbaine de Toronto (CEFCUT), le 1^er décembre 1988, s'établit dans un climat beaucoup moins acrimonieux qu'à Ottawa-Carleton. Jusqu'en 1987, les conseils scolaires de Toronto, North York et Scarborough ainsi que leurs CCLF gèrent les classes et les écoles de langue française qui accueillent près de 1700 élèves." In 1977 the school board voted to build a school out of surplus portable buildings on the site of the Ecole Etienne Brule, spending $120,000 to construct the school. The residents in the area where it was being constructed were against the proposal because 172 children from the area were bussed away to another school, and the new school in their community would not serve them. At nighttime, when workers tried to move the portables onto the site, some residents tried to obstruct their efforts.
