The School District plans to sell 15% of the land at Porter Street Elementary and 12% of Parkland Elementary.  They have been planning this for the past 3 years and are giving residents less than 6 weeks notice before a final decision is made.  

We have been given very little information and very little time to react. 

We do not feel that selling up green fields is an appropriate approach to raising funds for schools.

Green space is sacred in our ever growing concrete jungle society and we need to protect that space for the children of today and tomorrow.

We are not just against selling the land at Porter Street, we are fighting for ALL school properties. This pilot is to test the provincial rules on the sale of "surplus land" which means it could have a huge knock on effect.

There will be an info session at Parkland Elementary on September 26 from 6-8pm and at Porter Street Elementary on September 27 from 6-8 pm. 

Please help us get our message out by signing our petition and coming out to the info session to show your support!  We have also set up a blog so feel free to post your comments!
