On August 29th members of the Don Bosco football team were featured on seVeral newscasts. During this practice one of the students was seriousiy injured and required immediate medicai care while several other students also sustained minor injuries.

The students were not given media release forms nor did they have medical and permission forms signed by parents/guardians allowing them to partake in school activities as is outlined in Board policyunderstanding that Mr. Royiwiski, a staff member and football coach, had informed all football coaches and piayers in writing that practices would not commence until the first week of September. Further be instructed that equipment was not to be accessed until the - commencement of school. i was not informed of any formal practices and have Since suspended practice until September 2012. Any and all decisions made pertaining to practice time and player comportment must comply with the school?s athietic policy, OPHEA guidelines and the schools code of conduct. If any coach fails to comply with these policies further disciplinary action will ensue and termination will follow. Further, final decisions and direction regarding all schooi activities (curricular and extra?curricuiar) fall under my jurisdiction and responsibility, and as such, my direction Should be sought and foliowed. - Ail volunteer coaching staff must complete a poiice reference check as well as attend a mandatory coaches meeting to outline policies and procedures prior to the commencement of the season.

Thanks Bruce From: Yan, John (Communications) Sent: April 4, 2013 10:12 PM Dot, F65) i Notes for Meeting with Mayor Ford: a Mr. Ford?s passion for football, his commitment to the Don Bosco players and their.- success speaks foriitself. We are forever grateful for his contribution. oWe appreciate everything that Mayor Ford has done for the Don Bosco football program, but it is time to move on. ?This is was not the first time, however the Mayor's recent characterization of the Don Bosco school community, its parents and student athletes make his continuation as coach untenable. number of other incidents have also contributed to this decision including the Mayor?s ongoing disrespectful treatment of Don Bosco school staff and the contravention of TDCAA and OFSAA rules by starting the season earlier than legally allowed - exposing the Board to significant liability. oWe are requesting that the Mayor voluntarily resign from his position as the volunteer coach of the Don Bosco football within the next 7 days. a The Toronto Catholic District School Board will provide whatever communications support is required and work with the Mayor?s staff to effectively message and manage the Mayor?s departure to ensure that it is portrayed in the most positive light possible in themedia and the voting public. (NOTE: will?provide you with draft media releases for the scenarios discussed voluntary departure versus Board removal). iThis is a volunteer coaching position and not meant to be a job for life; ~.Our desision Was based on what is best for our students, our school and the Don . .. .. . . .. Our business is education not politics and what we are doing ensures a positive learning environment for our students to promote student achievement and well?being. nThe City needs a Mayor. Don Bosco needs a coach. The business and politics of City Hall belongs at City Hail not on a high school football field. nThe Football Program will continue at Don Bosco and at all our other high schools with a team. ?This is an exciting game that teaches students how they can develop heart of champions through hard work and perseverance. Mr. Ford has helped our students realize this and to reach their potential as players. REXDALE As part of this separation please note: a The Rexdale Raiders equipment will no longer be housed at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School. We suggest that the Mayor find an alternative location through his foundation. a We will only house the equipment until the end of April at which time the equipment should be moved. 0c, a Because of the marginal conditions of the grass field at Don Bosco and to avoid further damage and costly repairs, there will be no permits allowed for any outside groups - which includes the Rexdale RaidersaThe will assist the Mayor with finding practice time at arti?cial turf field at Father Henry Carr for the Rexdale Raiders. - - I .

Loretta brief you on the personally made against Ugo by Doug Ford at community/school relations luncheon on Friday. This included a racial slur against you. The equipment handout itseif went weii and without incident but you shouid expect an emaii or call from Mark Touhey or another member of the Mayor's staff for addtionai nights. The piayers (about 30 in totai) started arriving around 5:30 pm. Some of the coaches including Chris Fickei showed up about 6 pm and they began the distribution shortly thereafter. Mr. Ford arrived about 6:30 but did not leave his vehicle until 7 pm to enter the equipment room to supervise. In speaking to us, Mr. Ford indicated that he need about 4?5 additionai nights over the course of the next 4 weeks (Tues, Wed, Fri, or a weekend night) to hand out equipment leading up to the ?rst week of June when the team roster has to be finalized. i advised him that we were asked for this night only and that any future nights Would have to come by written request (email) to the Board (either you, since Mark has been deaiing with your, or myself and I can relay the message). Mr. Ford was very agitated by this the fact that he was inebriated did not help matters. I also suggested that the equipment handout nights would not be problem if it were just his coaches and he stayed away given the issues with the teachers, and school community. Mr. Ford insisted that it was his equipment and he did not trust his coaches. Shortly thereafter Dave Price his new Director of Logistics and Support for the City (aiso known as one of his former footbail coach from Scarlett Heights) showed up to engage Ugo and 1. He questioned why the Mayor had to make a formai request to hand out more equipment. Why the Rexdaie Raiders couidn?t use the Bosco Field etc.) I reiterated the requirement that the Mayor?s Office, either Mark, Earl, himself shouid contact you or myself. I said that I wouid be debriefing you so that you know to expect some sort of communication from the Mayor's staff to consider the request for additional dates. Again he was not happy with my demands. Ugo and I did not ieave untii 9 pm when the distribution was completed. This is not a good use of our time and resources to have 2?3 staff baby sit the Mayor for another 4-5 nights into June. My recommendation is to agree to one more weekday evening (max). After that night, we would request that they move the equipment offsite eg. the Mayor's house or their own paid storage facility there are quite a few in the Rexdale area being ciose to the airport. Every night that we allow him to be on site exposes us to the risk of confrontation with teaching staff, a community member and/or the media. I 3 3 Happy to discuss. . John Dog.

There is a senso of frustration in our school community in regards to some of the messages that we have heard on radio and read in the papers about our students and our principal. The comments depict our School in a negative light, which we have been working so hard to dispel in the last few years. It is disheartening since we have been spending so much volunteer time and energy on community outreach to demonstrate the commitment, the excellent programs and the successes of our student body. Much of this has been lost with this media attention.

This story from the Star is net written by One of their traditional reporters . that we (Communications) has a relationship with. Secondly, it is odd that Pamela Trower and other DB_Staff_are quoted;_ Our News Release did not mention any specific staff at DB as'a contact and the only Board contact was Emmy. So it is odd that the reporter was able to access these specific teachers. The timing would indicate that the reporter had earlier access. So again, the bigger issue here is for the need for our department to somehow get the message out to remind staff about the need to seek approval and guidance before speaking to media, as comments and messaging can be manipulated to create the type of divisive story that we now see.

My concern with saying yes to attowing Mr. Ford on Bosco property even if it?s after schoot on a Friday is that in ail iikeiihood he (his team) will leak this return to Bosco to the media to make it look like everything back at the school. This fear is based on all his poiiticat behind the scenes positioning of his ciose relationship with former Bosco Eagle Kwojo Mensah who was kitted last week so we are pressured to have him come back. This could turn into a media circus for us and problematic in terms of the teachers and community. John John W.

Loretta will brief you on the threat/intimMotion/fabrication personally made against Ugo by Doug Ford at community/school relations luncheon on Friday. This included a racial slur against youThe equipment handout ltseif Went weii and without intident but you should expect an emailorcall from Mark Touhey or another member of the Mayor's Staff for addtionai nights. The players (about 30 in total) started arriving around 5:30 pm. Some of the coaches including Chris Fickel showed up about 6 pm and they began the distribution shortly thereafter. Mr. Ford arrived about 6:30 but did not ieave his vehicle until 7 pm to enter the equipment room to supervise. In speaking to us, Mr. Ford indicated that he wiil need about 4?5 additionai nights over the course of the next .4 weeks (Tues, Wed, Fri, or a weekend night) to hand out equipment leading up to the ?rst week of June when the team roster has to be ?nalized. I advised him that we were asked for this night only and that any future nights would have to come by written . request (email) to the Board (either you, since Mark has been dealing with your, or myself and I can relay the . message). Mr. Ford was very agitated by this - the fact that he was inebriated did not help matters. I also suggested that the equipment handout nights would not be problem if it were just his coaches and he stayed away given the issues with the teachers, and school community. Mr. Ford insisted that it was his equipment and he did not trust his coaches. Shortly thereafter Dave Price his new Director of Logistics and Support for the City (also known as one of his former football coach from Scariett Heights) showed up to engage Ugo and I. He questioned why the Mayor had to make a formal request to hand out more equipment. Why the Rexdale Raiders couldn't use the Bosco Field etc). I reiterated the requirement that the Mayor?s Of?ce, either Mark, Earl, himself should contact you or myself. I said that I would be debriefing you so that you know to expect some sort of communication from the Mayor?s staff to consider the request for additional dates. Again he was not happy with my demands. Ugo and I did not leave until 9 pm when the distribution was compieted. This is not a good use of our time and resources to have 2-3 staff baby sit the Mayor for another 4-5 nights into June. My recommendation is to agree to one more weekday evening (max). After that night, we would request that they move the equipment offsite eg. the Mayor's house or their own paid storage facility there are quite a few in the Rexdale area being close to the airport. Every night that we aliow him to he on site exposes us to the risk of confrontation with teaching staff, a community member and/or the media. Happy to discuss.

Subject: Follow up to meetings held on March 25th and March 26th Dear Ms Motion: The Don Bosco Parent Council (CSAC) met at a regular meeting on 25, 2013 with 12 parent members present. On the'agenda'of this meeting was the item ?Meeting with Members of Board regarding Rob Ford". The CSAC Executive explained to those present that it had met with members of the Toronto Catholic District School the previous evening and relayed its concerns regarding Don Bosco?s continued relationship with His Honour, Mayor Rob Ford. The concerns expressed to the members of the were as follows: 1. Mayor Ford?s presence at Don Bosco during football season is disruptive to the school. There are media trucks at the school, members of the media trying to Speak to our students and continued calls to the school from the public. The Administration at the school has to deal with this on a regular basis and all year long, taking their time away from running the school. 2. Mayor Ford?s involvement has put the school under a microscope. Any little thing that has happened or may happen at this school will become a big news story. 3. On various occasions, Mayor Ford has made very negative comments about the school, the players and the community in which the-school resides. The administration, . teachers and parents have worked very hard to improve the image of the school with the ultimate goal of increasing enrolment. His negative messaging hasbeen detrimental to this goal. - -. . . Those parents present at the meeting agreed with the above concerns and added the following comments/concerns: 1. He will take. his money out of the team -- - - -- Note: live-assured everyone'that, as you had stated at our meeting, the football program will continue regardless of who is coach 2. He. subsidizes players who Cannot afford to play and owns the equipment Note: again, we explained, as per your assurances, that the board will cover equipment costs. He makes blanket statements that hurt all the students. He needs to keep separate being a coach and being the mayor. He needs to keep his personal passions and his Mayorship separate. He is using the school and the team for political gain. His involvement has become detrimental to our school. We should confront him verbally before we make these decisions. Note: we explained that the Board, the Administration and individual parents have already asked Mayor Ford to stop making these comments. wenwew There was unanimous agreement that parents appreciate everything Mr. Ford has done for the players at our school over the years. Most parents believe that he does love his players and has done some wonderful things for individual players and their families. However, the majority of parents present felt that Mayor Ford needs to disassociate from the school because of the reasons stated above. ask the CSAC Executive (copied on this email) to please add anything i may have inadvertently left out. 5 met: (at i- We truly appreciate the time the Board has put into this issue.

Great care was taken to ensure the most objective and thorough process possible. The comprehensive review included meetings with the parent council, teachers, and Mr. Ford himseif.

I Now that the affiliation has been dealt with, we are looking forward to rebuilding our school community and reputation. There is lots of work to be done and ground to regain. I know this is the_time of year that moves and transfers are diScuSsed and decided for the following academic year. As a community we are hoping this" does not include our Principal Mr. Ugo Rossi. We have continually made our opinions known every time we have met with you. I know they usually hold their positions for five years, but realize this is-not always soWith all the press and attention that our school has had we as a CSAC think it would send the wrong message if you moved our Principal. It would look like he was being reprimanded for what has transpired at our school. In our opinion_ it would not pass the "smell test". It would look like a deal was_made to get rid of our principal and "clean house?.' - I'l - I I can guarantee that it would be spun that way. It would once again create a media storm of which the parent council does not wish-to deal With. I don't think the Board realizes that Teresa Bridport, Doreen Way, myself and Mr. Rossi have become the faces of Don Bosco. With another council and administration this could have been a complete disaster. We have been chased down at our_work places and our homes for the past few months; Mr. Rbssi has been the '"port" in this storm and the glue that has held us all together. We are still going to have issues with this come September and the start of our football season . The press will be at our school to see how our team is doing, and it will be used as fodder for whatever is happening at city hall. ALL the kid's are already feeling bad that they have lost their_coach, but to take away their principal would be a grievous mistake. "we need Mr.?Rossi to continue our work to rebuild this school to be what we know it is capable of becoming. By putting in a different person, they wouldn't be up to speed on the history or the direction that we are working towards. I hope you take all this-into consideration in whatever decision the BOardd'p makes. . . - - I thank you for your continued support of our Don Bosco community.

His message portrayed our school in an extremely demeaning way that was filled with untruths. We find this disgusting! After ail this time, his message continues to portray our school community this way and this has to stop. His words are no reflection of the real Don Bosco, its students, staff and administration. There is a sense of outrage in our school community in regards to his continual detrimental messages. Once again his comments depict our school in a very negative light. It is exasperating since we have been spending so much volunteer time and energy on community outreach to demonstrate the commitment, the excellent programs and the successes of our student body. Again, much of this good will and good work has been lost with his most recent media interview. Our principal, lVlr.

However, am a Catholic who is dismayed at the removal of Mayor Rob Ford as head football coach at Etobicoke's Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School Although it is claimed that the school board?s decision does not appear to be related to the crack cocaine scandal Ford is now facing, the timing could not be more politically motivated. Why now? The very week when the man has been kicked, slandered, persecuted without verification of the truth. This very city of Toronto who claims to champion a zero-tolerance on bullying in schools. A fine example of adult hypocrisy. Why now? When we as Catholics should be showing compassion and not be abandoning a man by ending his decade-long affiliation with his beloved football team. Atleast not now! We as Catholics should remember the Parable of the Good Samaritan. (Luke 10:25?37) "37 The expert in the iaw replied, ?The one who had mercy on him.

What once may have been an interesting side show regarding the Mayors love for football and generosity to the Don Bosco program, increasingly it is drawing the school, and the Catholic School Board in generai, into a discussion of what values are we teaching our children. i understand that in the past, the Mayor has been generous with his time and resources in building and supporting a strong football program at Don Bosco. However, it has also been increasingly apparent that the Mayor is unable to distinguish between his role and responsibilities to 2.5 million Torontonians and his personal interest in footbali and the Don Bosco community: 1) Why is the Toronto Catholic District School Board/ Don Bosco facilitating the Mayor?s dereiection of duty? Rob Ford, the Mayor of Canada's largest city, skips council and committee meetings (and what else) to coach football even though he promised voters he would quit coaching if elected? 2) Why is the Toronto Catholic District Schooi Board/ Don Bosco facilitating the Mayor?s misappropriation of city resources (vehicles, personnel, letterhead, TTC buses)? Using his city budget to recruit and pay coaches for the Don Bosco Team Diverting city resources to the special benefit of the Don Bosco team ("volunteer? coaches, city paid vehicles, TTC buses). Operating a summer football league out of the schooi facilities (likely skirting school board rules regarding out of season training and practicing) 3) Why is the Toronto Catholic District School Board/ Don Bosco showing no concern regarding the Mayor?s unwillingness to respect the law? The stated mission of the Toronto Catholic District School Board is to create an inclusive learning community rooted in the love of Christ. Toeducate students to grow in grace and knowledge and to lead lives of faith, hope and chardy. What message does the Mayor send to students at Don Bosco when he drives his car and uses the cel phone at the same time without consequence? How many Don Bosco students have been in accidents driving and texting? L: ?i r3 2 :Do (a What message does the Mayor send to Don Bosco students when he swears or makes rude gestures to citizens who observe him driving and reading at the same time? What message does the Mayor send to Don Bosco students when he tries to bullies those who disagree with him? . When he berates and insults public servants on his weekly radio show? When he insults union workers, en mass, when the Catholic Church well knows that many of their charitable activities and human rights efforts around the world are conducted hand in hand with grass root union organizations. 4) Why is the Toronto Catholic District School Board/ Don Bosco facilitating efforts by the Mayor to lobby the Provincial government for gold?plated athletic facilities at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School? The Board well knows that there are many higher priority high schoois that lack gym, a track or field (such as Bishop Allen). 5) Why is the Toronto Catholic District School Board/ Don Bosco not investigating the decision by school principal, Mr. Rossi to commandeer a city bus when a bus was already chartered for that purpose. Why didn?t he just call the charter company and ask them to bring the bus earlier. With 8 police officers on site, why didn't he just ask the principal at Henry Carr to sequester his kids in the gymnasium or another school room where they could safely wait for the bus? Where was the school chaplain at this time? isn?t it his responsibility to set an example for these kids and teachers, and to hold them to the higher standards of the Catholic-based curriculum? What prompted the dispute with officials? Caused the game to be called? What is the role of principal, teacher, coach, parents in creating an environment where behaviour clearly was not consistent with the values that sport should instill in our youth. i do not want to detract from the many good works that Rob Ford may have done for Don Bosco. However, the longer this charade goes on, the more it appears that all these good works were not being done for the good of Don Bosco students and the community. it is time Rob Ford retired. This ongoing theatre has already become a sad example of how a school and a Board are willing to look the other way and give a bully (you do recognize he is a textbook 13m, Ci definition of a bully, don?t you) complete control of their football program as long as the cheques keep coming. is a school championship really worth it? Finally, in addition to being a parent, have been a community coach and convenor for more than 10 years and a member of the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), a international nonprofit organization committed to providing all youth and high school athletes a positive, character" building youth sports experience. if your Board is not aware of the program, i have taken the liberty of attaching a description of the PCA school workshop description. if Rob Ford is unwilling or incabable of seeing the light, it is time the Board helped him do so.

What?s come to disappoint me though is the apparent uncontroiied and poiiticaiiy biased manner in which the is either blindly stumbling into or aiiowing itself to become embroiied in with this media fiasco. As a Cathoiic based entity at the forefront of promoting Christian and Catholic values, especially in the area ofour children, lam extremely disappointed at a recent incident, for example, where someone from the Board went out of their way to share a private communication from an individual assisting or volunteering in the itob Ford Football Foundation (apparently, according to the Star, with a proposal to offer financial assistance to form a football team at Marshall McLuhan Catholic Secondary Schooi) with the apparent intention of discrediting Mayor Ford by providing even more fuel to the ongoing Toronto Star bonfire. According to the articie, with information gratuitously supplied by yet another anonymous person associated with the schooi and/or Board, the volunteer Chris Fickel used his personal email account and sent the email offer at 4:37pm which for most city employees is on personal time. Wow, big deal. To add insuit to injury, the article then goes on to say that "The board did not appear to welcome Fickel?s email. its communications co-ordinotor sent a letter to school principals on Wednesday instructing them to refer all proposals from Ford to the board. Ali i can say is wow again. tike him or not, Ford?s still a responsible individual who?s been raising funds and graciously assisting the Board with his persona! time over the last 12 years and who continues to offer financial assistance to form an athletic program which the Board is clearly hard~pressed to fund themselves, and who is not only spurned by the Board, but spurned by the Soard in wide open public media view thanks to some unscrupulous individual(s) elected or working for the Board. One realiy has to ask oneself a few questions here: What is going on? How Christian are these acts and what is the true purpose? Why is a Catholic?based institution entering into the poiitical arena and taking sides in a media fiasco? Was an elected official involved with this disgraceful action? Why didn?t the Board?s ?communications co?ordinator? simply call Chris Fickel and advise him directly of the Board's new policy? And does the Board not have any control over its Principais and senior administrative empioyees? This is turning into a major shameful public affair with the passing of every day and week, and urge the Board to set the Christian example, to rise above this fiasco and to get its house in order on the issue before it does get worse.

This is a letter that I have sent to the Director of Education. I do think that Mayor Ford is the source of some serious legal issues for the "Hello! I am writing as a retired high school teacher to complain about the use of Rob Ford to lead students in the Catholic School system. As far as I know, all who DUL. 5 3 work with students must do a criminal background check. How did Don Bosco miss the arrests for marijuana possession and in Florida? How did they miss the drunken ejection from a hockey game and his subsequent lying? How did they miss the many visits that police have made for domestic disturbances, including a death threat to his family. That some of these events did not go to court does not diminish their impact and revelation of his character. How did they miss last weeks hearing in Toronto on charges of using his football activities for personal financial gain? How did they miss the many confrontations with the Integrity Comissioner(s) of Canada?s largest city? Have members of Ford?s staff who work with students been vetted by police background checks? Yet, another Integrity Commissioner investigation has been launched, once again with Ford's work at Don Bosco as a central part of the complaint. There is a huge potential conflict of interest issue for the administration and trustees. Since Mayor Ford distributes free equipment to students, there is a clear financial gain for the Since the and staff at Don Bosco, appear to be overlooking Mayor Ford's criminal and moral record, it is possible that all are guilty of conflict?of interest legislation. Staff in schools are in locis parentis, there is a clear disregard of that important responsibility. One would think that being partner to this laughingstock of a rich politician, does not suggest proper guardianship either. Mr. Ford regularly, before and after his election as Mayor, has violated Catholic principles in general and specifically those touted at Don Bosco: We seek to educate the whole child while instilling and preparing our students according to the Catholic Graduate Expectations. Respect is the cornerstone of our Don Bosco community. This respect is threefold?respect for oneself, respect for others, and respect for property. (Mr. Ford is in daily violation of the bolded part of this section.) I believe the administration at Don Bosco is in violation of the law, and the principles of a Catholic Education. This man brings our schools and values into deep disrespect. I also believe that the negligence of the administration of the school and board leave themselves open to legal action on several levels. What is the point of publishing values objectives and guidelines and then blatantly ignoring them? I respectfully request that Mr. Ford be removed immediately from contact with students at Don Bosco.

These are the same students that you, and your predecessors, have allowed to be used for political purposes by Mayor Ford. These are the same students, or the next generation, who appeared in newspaper photos two years ago with "Ford for Mayor? posters prominently diSplayed on their Don Bosco kit bags. These are the same students who were rallied recently by Mr. Ford to run interference for him so that he wouldn?t have to face the very legitimate questions posed by reporters about his misuse of the city's time and money For the benefit of your football programme. These are the same students who, whether they realized it or not, were both racially and socially slurred by the Mayor and his brother last Sunday on the radio, when it was suggested that they had no fathers or mothers behind them, but only Mr. Ford, who was the only one concerned about their success and well? being. In sum, these are the same students that you and the are allowing to be taught that it is all right to thumb your nose at rules, to laugh at legitimate matters of concern, and to insult the good will and intentions of all who disagree with you. You should be ashamed of your role in perpetuating this sorry situation.

It does not help democracy in the ciw but it does guard students caught in the middle of Mayor Ford and the Fifth Estate. Congratulations on taking action. However, do you fuiiy realize that each time the Mayor and his assistants visit this schooi, that they are in a conflict of interest? Does the intend to continue to support this illegal and immorai behaviour? Why would the Board even consider being the centre of these allegations and issues? This current situation is under investigation by the Integrity Commisioner of the City of Toronto? Does the Board reain want its schoois and students dragged into yet another conflict-of-interest imbrogiio? Worse, you do realize that at the centre of the recent hearing on an earlier charge (judgement pending), that Mayor Ford's relationship with the and Don Bosco was the critical point of the investigation? Of more serious concern is the fact, that under oath, Mayor Ford ciaimed he had personally donated $50,000.00 worth of equipment to Don Bosco over the last few years. Trustees are also pledged to foilow and respect conflict? of ?interest legislation. I do not beiieve that normal Board policies have been followed in aliowing Mayor Ford and his aides unfettered access to Don Bosco students. Given that the Mayor has spent so much money on his football activities, if, even one item of Board policy has been overlooked or not followed, this places the entire Board in a potentiai confiict-of?interest situation. I would like to know if the Board is fully aware of the criminal record of the mayor? Does the Board know just how important Don Bosco was to the recent hearing held in the Ontario Supreme Court? What steps has the Board taken to ensure that Mr. Ford and his staff have been fuily vetted for past behaviours and deeds. Why does the Board continue to indirectly support breaching of conflict?of-interest rules when the Mayor and his staff, use City time, staff and resources to participate in football activities at a school? Does the Board understand why Cathoiic values are being undermined? I await your response before taking my concerns further.

However, it has also been increasingly apparent that the Mayor is unable to distinguish between his role and responsibilities to 2.5 Torontonians and his personal interest in football and the Don Bosco community: 1) Why is the Toronto Catholic District School Board/ Don Bosco facilitating the Mayor's derelection of duty? Rob Ford, the Mayor of Canada's iargest city, skips council and committee meetings (and what else) to coach football even though he promised voters he would quit coaching if elected? 2) Why is the Toronto Catholic District School Board/ Don Bosco facilitating the Mayor?s misappropriation of city resources (vehicles, personnel, letterhead, TIC buses)? 1 n" -t um I Err-?w I bell pr Z.

What message does the Mayor send to Don Bosco students when he tries to boilies those who disagree with him? When he berates and insults public servants on his weekly radio show?

The Board well knows that there are many higher priority high schools that lack gym, a track or field (such as Bishop Ailen). 5) Why is the Toronto Catholic District School Board/ Don Bosco not investigating the decision by school principal, Mr. Rossi to commandeer a city bus when a bus was already chartered for that purpose. Why didn?t he just cail the charter company and ask them to bring the bus earlier. With 8 police officers on site, why didn't he just ask the principal at Henry Carr to sequester his kids in the gymnasium or another school room where they could safely wait for the bus? Where was the school chapiain at this time? lsn't it his responsibility to set an example for these kids and teachers, and to hold them to the higher standards of the Catholic-based curriculum? What prompted the dispute with officials? Caused the game to be called? What is the role of principal, teacher, coach, parents in creating an environment where behaviour clearly was not consistent with the values that sport should instili in our youth. i do not want to detract from the many good works that Rob Ford may have done for Don Bosco. However, the longer this Charade goes on, the more it appears that all these good works were not being done for the good of Don Bosco students and the community. It is time Rob Ford retired. This ongoing theatre has already become a sad example of how a school and a Board are willing to look the other way and give a buliy (you do recognize he is a textbook definition of a in.? 1,11% 3 i if" Do 9 ill buiiy, don't you) complete control of their football program as long as the cheques keep coming. is a schoo Championship really worth it?

Unfortunately, this attention and scrutiny has translated into any and all areas of Mayor Ford's life including his personal life which includes his part time charitable works involving personai and financial support to a few city high schooi football teams, including the Don Bosco football team. I understand that his support for the Don Bosco team actually goes back as far as 2001 and i presume that both Don Bosco and the Board were grateful and satisfied with his support and participation over the years until apparently for some Catholics and/or Board officials, his political and personal life started to come under intense attack 2 to 3 years ago - amazingly, as a Toronto resident it feels like it?s been much longer no matter what side of the political fence one is on. What?s come to disappoint me though is the apparent uncontroiied and politicaliy biased manner in which the is either blindiy stumbling into or allowing itself to become embroiled in with this media fiasco. As a Catholic based entity at the forefront of promoting Christian and Catholic values, especially in the area ofour children, i am extremely disappointed at a recent incident, for example, where someone from the Board went out of their way to share a private communication from an individual assisting or voiunteering in the Rob Ford Footbaii Foundation (apparently, according to the Star, with a proposal to offer financial assistance to form a football team at Marshall McLuhan Catholic Secondary Schooi) with the apparent intention of discrediting Mayor Ford by providing even more fuel to the ongoing Toronto Star bonfire. According to the article, with information gratuitously supplied by yet another anonymous person associated with the schooi and/or Board, the volunteer Chris Fickel used his personal email account and sent the emaii offer at 4:37pm which for most city empioyees is on personal time. Wow, big deai. To add insuit to injury, the article then goes on to say that "The board did not appear to welcome Fickel?s email. Its communications coordinator sent a letter to school principals on Wednesday instructing them to refer all proposals from Ford to the board.? Alli can say is wow again. Like him or not, Ford's still a responsibie individual who?s been raising funds and graciously assisting the Board with his personal time over the last 12 years and who continues to offer financial assistance to form 2 iv} DOD we Li an athletic program which the Board is cleariy hard-pressed to fund themselves, and who is not only spurned the Board, but spurned by the Board in wide open public media view thanks to some unscrupulous individuai(s) elected or working for the Board. One really has to ask oneself a few questions here: What is going on? How Christian are these acts and what is the true purpose? Why is a Cathoiic-based institution entering into the poiiticai arena and taking sides in a media fiasco? Was an elected official involved with this disgraceful action? Why didn?t the Board?s ?communications co?ordinator' simpiy cali Chris Fickel and advise him directiy of the Board?s new poiicy? And does the Board not have any controi over its Principais and senior administrative employees? This is turning into a major shameful public affair with the passing of every day and week, and I urge the Board to set the Christian exampie, to rise above this fiasco and to get its house in order on the issue before it does get worse.

While questions have been asked about this very public situation, this matter has not been brought before us, so that is all can share with you. As i have not been involved to date, I can?t tell you what a fair resolution looks like or answer your questions, but i am hopeful that with our Director now involved that it will be found, and have asked whether this will be discussed at our next committee~of~the~whole this Thursday.

I had not asked Ugo to canvas staff (as thought we had a strong picture of how they feit) but he has and their answer seems ciear.
