The next witness expect- ed to take the stand is the city's former director of some things together since the kids play together (after school). "We are definitely the middle of the new neigh- bourhood." The schools share busing and other emciencies that have come out of the province's funding model and its move to rationalize services.

"Chances are that many of these children will live here and go to high school from here. "The community has been really receptive to us, and we know we have a good solid community behind us." Some of the unique fea- tures of the school include a science and technology room, the double-sized gym and an oversized art room.
