Is there any information about the school's neighbourhood?
Our school is located in the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood. Renfrew-Collingwood is primarily a residential area, with good access to nature.
Renfrew Ravine Park, which features a natural creek in the Still Creek watershed, is a lovely place to take a walk. Residents have easy access to services and amenities, especially along the Collingwood stretch of Kingsway.
Renfrew-Collingwood runs along the city's east boundary with Burnaby. Click below to read the community newspaper.
