Westview from 259 down to 192 for loss of 26%

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pineridge

 

335 to 188 for 44% loss

 

 

 

 

 

Roosevelt

From 262 down to 189 for a loss of 28%

But servicing an area that it is on western side of i.e. not central to its region

 

Lax Kxeen & Conrad

Between these 2 schools currently have highest concentration of elementary students (400)

I suggest putting more students in either school needs careful thought -

 

Seal Cove

Looks like Seal cove could easily service the undeveloped areas south of 8th street –

 

Implications that this should be a City OCP priority to develop the area next

 

Kanata

School poorly located for servicing current neighbourhoods
