Catholic board weighs Burnside Heights school site
The Catholic School Board voted to request a school site in Burnside Heights and has proposed an elementary site in Burnside Estates. The Burnside area, about the size of Medicine Hat’s Ross Glen Southview, is estimated to hold 14 000 people by the regional commission. The board will indicate facility types for both areas, west of the Trans-Canada Highway and north of the South Saskatchewan River, despite possible Redcliff annexation concerns.
