Update on New Nash/Upper Stoney Creek Elementary School

Dear Families, 

I am reaching out today in regards to the new elementary school in the Nash/Upper Stoney Creek neighbourhood. 

In October 2023, Trustees voted to pause the construction of this new school, due to concerns about the proximity to the Stoney Creek Regional Waste Facility. Trustees also voted to explore alternate options for accommodation of students and that the Chair of the Board and the Ward Trustee engage with City and Provincial officials as part of this process. 

At this time, this project remains paused. HWDSB Staff and Trustees continue to explore options and consider all information available. More updates can be expected in the fall of 2024. 

Thank you for your patience as we work through this process together as a community. 

Have a wonderful summer, 

Gerry Smith
