School Engagement
Students were provided an opportunity to help by filling out a workbook that gave the City input on how to design the new park.
The City collected approximately 185 responses from students attending these three schools:
- Dr. Roberta Bondar Public School
- Écoleintermediaire catholique Renaissance
- Romeo Dallaire Public School
