Summary
ABC Montessori in Mississauga is shutting down this September, leaving 150+ families scrambling for new schools with little warning. The school blames city zoning rules, while Mississauga says it’s been operating illegally since 2016. Located near Pearson Airport, the area restricts schools—except those grandfathered or granted special permission, which stopped around 2011. Relocation is nearly impossible due to zoning, and fighting the city through the Ontario Land Tribunal is costly and uncertain. Local officials are stepping in, with a city councillor and provincial rep urging a solution—possibly through variances—to save the school and its community.
