Possible, but not as easy a sell as you imply.

Like others, I think, I am struggling with your numbers, since for us in N.E., the district model has made things better financially, but since I don't follow the details of the Toronto school board as you've laid them out, I'll trust that it really costs $2500 more to participate in the two district events versus the one regional.
But you have mentioned a number of times the cost of travel, and from what I can see, that should not be a problem.
Here's a map I made of the Ontario district events. The District Championships (note: not "regional") is the green marker. I'm not sure where exactly in Toronto you are located, but I would think that the events at Ryerson University, Durham College and McMaster University would all be within an hour, give or take a few minutes. Waterloo and Georgian College would add maybe a half hour, but still commutable. Aren't these the same locations you had before the district system, plus a few others?
