Straight up whiskey is preferred.Heaven forbid if we are given juice, or worse a soft drink, for our school lunch.

My high school, Vaughan Road Academy, when I was there, it was junk food galore. Its nearest fast food restaurant is a few blocks away at Five Points (and the nearest chain restaurant is a few more blocks away at Oakwood Village to the west of Vaughan Road Academy or Little Jamaica to the north), given that it is in the middle of a residential neighbourhood.
There's no shortage of liquid lunches there (under the radar of course).
Vaughan Road Academy had seen better days...So that's one of reasons behind Vaughan Road Academy possible closing? See link.
Mike Harris is indirectly responsible for the demise of my high school.Vaughan Road Academy would have been part of the City of York Board of Education... until amalgamation in 1998 came around and parents & students found that they can now go to schools outside of the "City of York". (However, before 1998 students could go outside the "City of York", with an "explanation".)

When I went to Runnymede Collegiate as a kid, Weston was still separate. Weston was absorbed by York Township in '67 to become the Borough of York.Vaughan Road Collegiate Institute was founded in 1926. See link.
Weston Collegiate Institute, also in the former City of York, was founded in 1857. Weston was the second oldest secondary school in Toronto (Jarvis Collegiate Institute was the oldest secondary school in Toronto, founded in 1807 and second oldest in Ontario after Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Kingston, 1792).
