Gatestone and Shannen Koostachin Boundary Review
UPDATE: Thank you for providing your feedback regarding the Gatestone and Shannen Koostachin Boundary Review. This consultation is now closed to contributions.
What is a boundary review?
A school's attendance boundaries are influenced by many factors, such as the construction of new housing developments or a new school. Sometimes, HWDSB will need to make adjustments to school boundaries to balance enrolments between schools. A boundary change only happens when it is necessary.
