The final plan for the catchment of Broad Street School has been released by the Halifax Regional Centre for Education and to our disappointment they have failed to include all of Brookline Park Sub Area 8. The streets that are affected by this decision are Trekker Drive, Glissade & Element Court, Puncheon Way, Duff Court, the extension of Terradore Lane, Garvey Court, and a few other upcoming streets.

This petition is a voice of the families of The Parks of West Bedford who understand the unfortunate consequences this decision will have on the community as a whole. It has been the publics perception that this school was built to service the children of The Parks of West Bedford in its entirety.

It is important to understand:

1) This area specifically, is closest in proximity to the school than many of the other areas that were included. Brookline Park is a complete community – not one that should be divided. Not one where our children play at the same park but do not attend the same school.

2) The consultation process completed by HRCE was arbitrary. Because homes are under construction and are yet to be built, the families that will be living here did not have the opportunity to share their thoughts and feedback. Their opinions were not included in the survey.

3) There has been families who have purchased homes in this area only to have their children attend Broad Street School. This is having a negative impact on their community experience and is certainly causing major concerns for families who are looking to purchase in this community.

The Broad Street School was meant to bring relief to families in Brookline Park - it was to bring convenience and a sense of community. The fact that the school is “down the street” - these families have been misled.

Let’s unite together to raise our concerns and make this change possible. Please sign this petition and share it with your neighbours to let our MLA know the impact this decision has had and will continue to have. We request HRCE to amend the catchment area of Broad Street School to include all of Sub Area 8.
