Dunn says she's received dozens of drawings and cards like this one from kids, parents and dog owners throughout her time as a crossing guard.
A neighbourhood in East York is rallying behind a crossing guard who lost her job recently. Lisa Dunn says she was let go because she was feeding animals which is against a city bylaw, but parents say it wasn't a good enough reason to replace the beloved crossing guard.Toronto is just one major Canadian city seemingly overrun by pigeons. To try and keep the population under control, the city installed bird feeders with birth control inside — a method already tried in Vancouver.
"Feeding wild animals changes their natural instincts and may increase their presence and tolerance of people, creating problems for both wildlife and Toronto communities. "While we are not privy to staffing decisions made by the external supplier, the city has performance requirements for school crossing guards, including their conduct, which requires compliance with all laws," the city said in a statement. "We expect that children's safety is the school crossing guards' number one priority at all times."Residents of an East York neighbourhood are rallying behind a crossing guard who lost her job.
"Synergy is a fair and equitable employer, and we provide all employees with training, support and guidance to enable them to be successful in their role," the company said in a statement, adding any allegations of misconduct are thoroughly investigated and a "progressive model of discipline" is followed to help improve employees' conduct.Meanwhile, hundreds in the community are now rallying for Dunn to get her job back.
