Petition filed by Councillor Michael Walker, North Toronto, on behalf of the Sunnyview Public School Senior Kindergarten class, expressing a concern that the attendants who accompanied six of the children in their class who use wheelchairs were required to pay a total cost of $25.00 for tickets for the Toronto Island Ferry; and recommending that:
