TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2012 /CNW/ - The Alliance Française de Toronto has served Canada's largest city for 110 years now and is one of the largest of the Alliance Française schools in the world - the second largest of those schools in North America after New York. It includes four different locations in the GTA including Spadina Road in the central core, North York, Markham and Mississauga.
The Spadina Road school is presently expanding to include a French-language theatre and cultural centre, as well as new state-of-the-art classrooms.
Recently, to mark the beginning of this construction project, the leader of the Alliance Française de Toronto joined Provincial Minister Madeleine Meilleur and local city Councillor Adam Vaughan in front of the Spadina Road construction site.
