What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Counted: St. Norbert’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.

- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. The list is Statistics Canada’s ODEF (2019–22): schools opened since are missing, and some closed since may still appear.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
