The numbers are incontrovertible.   

The population South of the QEW between 16 mile creek and Maple Grove is growing with school age children.  This is 100% opposite to the school board’s position and documents released on February 11, 2008. 

These figures are directly from Statistics Canada, comparing age groups from the 2001 to 2006 (latest) census.  How do we close schools in communities where we have increased school age children and consider building in a community with a 15% decline in school aged children?  The growth is occurring by the resale of homes to families in these communities.
