What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
- The year. The list is Statistics Canada’s ODEF (2019–22): schools opened since are missing, and some closed since may still appear.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Westfield’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
