Collaboration and Co-Build Opportunities

The Ministry of Education Community Planning and Partnerships Guideline requires that school boards identify available space in schools, where facilities have less than 60% utilized space for two years and/or 200 surplus pupil places, for potential collaboration opportunities. Each November, Senior Administration recommends this list of facilities to the Board for approval.
