Housing Developments

Bonavista 

Bonavista is a new residential development in the southeast corner of Louis Riel School Division (LRSD). It is located to the south of Island Lakes. 

Catchment schools for Bonavista are:

A new Kindergarten to Grade 8 French Immersion school, planned to open at the corner of Warde Avenue & Des Hivernants Blvd in 2025, will serve families residing in Bonavista.

Sage Creek

Sage Creek is a new mixed commercial-residential development. It is bounded by Lagimodiere Blvd, Abinojii Mikanah (Bishop Grandin Blvd), Plessis Rd, and the Perimeter Highway.

Kindergarten to Grade 8

École Sage Creek School opened its doors at 315 Sage Creek Blvd in September 2017. It originally served Kindergarten to Grade 8 learners in the English and French Immersion programs. Owing to enrolment pressures, some students currently attend schools outside the community: 

• Shamrock School for English Program, Grades 5 to 8 
• Collège Béliveau for French Immersion, Grades 7 & 8

A new Kindergarten to Grade 8 French Immersion school, planned to open at the corner of Warde Avenue & Des Hivernants Blvd in 2025, will serve families residing in Sage Creek. The existing school at 315 Sage Creek Blvd will be restored to its original configuration in order to serve Kindergarten to Grade 8 English program students residing in Sage Creek. 

Grades 9 to 12

Beginning in 2024-2025, Grade 9 English program students residing in Sage Creek will transition to J.H. Bruns Collegiate, where they will remain until the end of their studies in Grade 12. A significant addition and modernization are proposed to accommodate the increased enrolment. Students residing in Sage Creek who attend Windsor Park Collegiate will finish their studies in Grade 12 with their WPC peers. 

Collège Béliveau is the catchment French Immersion high school for students residing in Sage Creek.

Contact Numbers: 

Note A: École Sage Creek School is preparing to implement significant changes for the 2024-2025 academic year, as it announces the introduction of Full-Day Kindergarten (FDK) to two English program classes and two French Immersion program classes. This decision reflects a strategic initiative aimed at addressing the evolving educational needs of the community. With an enrolment cap of 24 students per class, the school aims to provide a conducive learning environment that fosters individual growth and development. Notably, once the enrolment cap of 48 students for both English and French Immersion programs is reached, new registrations will be redirected to other schools within the division.

The timing of the opening of the new school will be confirmed as the project advances. 

Note C: In June 2022, the Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) Board of Trustees decided that an exchange of the Windsor Park Collegiate and Collège Béliveau buildings is the most optimal, sustainable, and achievable solution to the changing enrolment patterns in the southeast quadrant of the school division.
