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. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Witless Bay or within 3 km of it are here.
