The northwest area of Winnipeg is growing rapidly, creating a demand for new facilities to address the needs of the new residents.

A new school for the Amber Trails area was essential, and on June 7, the province announced funding for the construction of a new Seven Oaks School Division dual-track kindergarten to Grade 5 school on Templeton Avenue east of Pipeline Road. This is one of the seven new schools the province has committed to building in the next few years.

“Our community is a growing community. Over the past decade, Seven Oaks (School Division) has been the fastest growing and most crowded school division in Manitoba,” Derek Dabee, SOSD board chair, said. “This new school will ease the overcrowding of seven of our schools, and this means few students will be bussed out of the area into other schools where there is some room for them.”
