The new project

Imagination and compromise. With these two ingredients, the students and the citizens found a solution that protects most of the woods. And it will cost much less than the original project!

New Project Map
  • A basketball court will be built on the teachers' parking lot (already paved). Teachers will park their cars in front of the church across the street, since the church lot is empty during the week.

  • The schoolyard will be extended onto only one-third of the woods. On this portion, all healthy young trees will be transplanted in the neighbourhood.

  • In the rest of the woods, an interpretative path will be created so that citizens and students can discover the ecological wealth of the forest.

  • For each tree cut down, the city will plant two new trees elsewhere in the neighbourhood.
