The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) has finalized its recommendations for a boundary review affecting six elementary schools: Broadview Public School, Churchill Alternative School, Elmdale Public School, Fisher Park/Summit Alternative Public School, Hilson Avenue Public School, and Woodroffe Avenue Public School. The aim is to balance student enrolment across these institutions. A significant update allows younger siblings of current students to enroll in their designated schools and access transportation, provided they remain within the original catchment area. Current students will not be moved and will graduate from their existing schools. Additionally, the rollout of the Early French Immersion (EFI) program at Hilson Avenue will be accelerated, introducing Grade 1 EFI in 2027 alongside junior and senior kindergarten. To facilitate this, transitional EFI boundaries will be created for Elmdale and Hilson Avenue from 2027 to 2033. The OCDSB has emphasized the importance of community feedback in shaping these recommendations and is inviting further public input until June 15.
