School distances on this site are straight-line (as the crow flies) from each neighbourhood's centre, not walking or driving distances. Being close to a school does not mean a home is in its catchment. Families must confirm the school for any address with each board's school locator before making decisions.
Catchments change. Being close to a school does not guarantee a place there. Confirm the designated school for a specific address with each board before you buy.
