From CityNews:
One of North America’s best-known TV journalists, Morley Safer grew up on Manning Avenue, attended Clinton Street Public School and Harbord Collegiate before travelling the world as a foreign correspondent for CBS.
Safer lived with his two siblings and parents who had immigrated to Toronto from central and eastern Europe. In 2013, he appeared in a reminiscence about the 125th anniversary of the Clinton School and called the school “an ethnic patchwork quilt of children of working class immigrants — Jewish, Ukrainian, Scots, Irish, English and Italian.”
He passed away on May 29, 2016 and the laneway between Manning Avenue and Clinton Street will be named Marley Safer Lane.
