FIRST Canada and the TDSB have a strong relationship and it has likely already been discussed.
The fact of the matter is that the TDSBs contribution is already very generous and we are already very lucky to receive any money at all. Very few school districts offer similar support.

We are very grateful to the TDSB. We owe our existence to them as do many teams. Our existence with their generosity was possible. That is likely not the case anymore. Even with their generous donations we are now priced out of this phenomenal program. I am sure that students will benefit from more competition events. The trade off is added cost and time that many will not be able to afford. It is a trade off of course. My values lean toward less cost and more participants over more cost for more game time.
