Northwest Oakville Boundary Review

UPDATE -​​​​​​​​​​​​ July 9, 2025 

The Northwest Oakville Boundary Review has been put on hold while staff completes its review of program offerings. Given the results of this review may have an impact on enrolment, the School Boundary Review Steering Committee has concluded it would be prudent to delay the process until the completion of the study. School communities will be notified when the review resumes.​

Boundary Review Background

At the March 4, 2025 Board meeting, HDSB Trustees approved a motion to initiate a boundary review process to address the growing trend of disproportionate enrolment in schools in ERAs 203 and 206 (formerly ERAs 114, 115, and 118). Moreover, there is a need to review the need for the future Bronte Green Lands elementary school site. 

The purpose of this review will be to seek a means of reducing surplus space within the study area and reduce pressures at other schools, and determine whether there is a short-term need for the future Bronte Green elementary school site, or whether it can be accommodated within existing pupil places.
The motion, as presented in Board Report 25022 is as follows:

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Halton District School Board direct staff to initiate and complete a boundary review for ERA 203 South Oak Trails, South Dundas & East Third Line (formerly ERA 114 and 115) and ERA 206 Northwest Oak Trails & Palermo (formerly ERA 114, 115, and 118) to balance enrolments at affected schools within existing and future communities for both the English and French Immersion program
The schools included would be as follows:
  • ERA 203: Abbey Lane PS; Forest Trail PS; Heritage Glen PS; Pilgrim Wood PS; West Oak PS
  • ERA 206: Captain R. Wilson PS; Emily Carr PS; Palermo PS
