We, the residents of New Heritage Hills, identified as "part of Richardson Ridge south of Richardson Side Road" in the New Kanata North Elementary School Attendance Study published on Thursday, May 7, 2015, petition the school board to rescind the proposed boundary change affecting our community.

All proposals in the study unduly separate our neighbourhood from the surrounding community for redirection to new Kanata North Elementary School. Richardson Ridge, Heritage Hills, New Heritage Hills and Kanata Estates form a very close-knit community. Many children in these neighbourhoods play together and attend the same schools. The proposed boundary splits them up without concern for geographical and communal factors.

We strongly believe that our community/neighbourhood should continue to be in the Stephen Leacock PS school boundary to minimize disruption in students school life. Please keep our community intact and children together.
