Project Information

The Department of Community Engagement and Operational Planning has identified the need to address student enrolment in the regular program at Dalhousie School. Why has this student accommodation issue been identified?

  • The Dalhousie community does not have enough regular program students to support programs at both Dalhousie School and West Dalhousie School.

This issue will be addressed within the following parameters:

  • Sustainable Kindergarten to Grade 6 regular programming for the residential district of Dalhousie
  • Effective use of space and resources

The Department of Community Engagement and Operational Planning is working with school and community stakeholders to address this issue. See below for the community engagement strategy and meeting documents to help you stay informed.

Community Engagement Strategy

Our goal is to consult with you by obtaining your feedback on:

  • The proposed student accommodation scenario
  • The implementation plan
  • The proposed administrative recommendation

By consult, we mean that we will:

  • Keep you and other identified stakeholders informed
  • Listen to and acknowledge concerns and aspirations
  • Provide feedback on how your input was used to influence the final decision

Your input may influence details of the scenario’s final implementation. However, the final decision on any attendance area changes will be made by the Area I Director in conjunction with the Director of Community Engagement and Operational Planning. Any decisions regarding consideration of closure of programs and/or schools will be made by the Board of Trustees upon a recommendation from the Area I Director and the Director of Community Engagement and Operational Planning. We will also provide you with an opportunity to offer feedback on this engagement process.
