Project Information

The Department of Community Engagement and Operational Planning has identified the need to address student enrolment in the residential districts of Deer Ridge, Deer Run, Diamond Cove, and Queensland in Area V. Why has this student accommodation issue been identified?

There are currently three elementary schools located in Queensland and Deer Run which accommodate students from the four residential districts mentioned above.  There is excess capacity at Queensland Downs School and Deer Run School and with the opening of the kindergarten to Grade 4 school in McKenzie Towne in the 2009 -2010 school year, there will also be excess capacity at Haultain Memorial School.

In order to effectively use space and resources for both educational programming and plant operations & maintenance, there is a need to provide: 

  • Sustainable Kindergarten to Grade 6 regular programming for the residential districts of:
    • Deer Run
    • Deer Ridge
    • Diamond Cove
    • Queensland Downs
  • Consideration of effective and efficient transportation and walk zones

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 administrative recommendation

By consult, we mean that we will:

  • Keep you and other identified stakeholders informed
  • Llisten 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 V 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 V 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.
