Sage Creek

Sage Creek is a mixed commercial-residential development bounded by Lagimodiere Blvd, Abinojii Mikanah (formerly 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 were reassigned to schools outside the community, including: 

• 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 will open at the corner of Warde Avenue & Des Hivernants Blvd in September 2025. More information, including a map of the school's catchment area, can be found on the École Sage Creek/Bonavista FAQ page. Note that the new school will offer Middle French Immersion (Grade 4 entry). Late French Immersion (Grade 6 entry) will be offered at École Van Belleghem (204.255.1134).

In September 2025, the existing school at 315 Sage Creek Blvd will be renamed Sage Creek School to reflect the community it serves: Kindergarten to Grade 8 English program students residing in Sage Creek. More information, including a map of the school's catchment area, can be found on the Sage Creek School FAQ page. Enrolment at Sage Creek School is expected to reach capacity quickly; when this occurs, new enrolments will be directed to Shamrock School; for more information, click here.

Grades 9 to 12

Beginning in 2024-2025, Grade 9 English program students residing in Sage Creek will attend J.H. Bruns Collegiate, where they will remain until the end of their studies in Grade 12. J.H. Bruns Collegiate is also the catchment area school for students in Grades 10 to 12 residing in Sage Creek and not currently registered in LRSD. 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.  

The table below summarizes upcoming changes: 

Note A: The French Immersion Kindergarten program at ÉSCS has reached the maximum enrolment number of 48 registrations for 2024-2025. Consequently, effective May 22, 2024, and for the balance of the 2024-2025 school year, new registrations for Kindergarten in the French Immersion program will be redirected to École Guyot, as per Board motion. Busing will be provided at no cost to families. Students will continue at École Guyot until the opening of École Sage Creek/Bonavista (projected for Fall 2025). Class sizes at École Guyot will be closely monitored, and staff added if required.  

Note B: Enrolment in the English Kindergarten program at ÉSCS has reached the maximum enrolment of 48 students for 2024-2025. All new registrations for the English program will be redirected to Shamrock School, as per Board motion. Busing will be provided at no cost to families. Students will continue at Shamrock School until a second elementary school opens in Sage Creek (projected for Fall 2025), at which point, they will attend the English program at 315 Sage Creek Blvd. Class sizes at Shamrock School will be closely monitored, and staff added if required.

Note C: A new Kindergarten to Grade 8 French Immersion school will open at the corner of Warde Avenue & Des Hivernants Blvd in September 2025. More information, including a map of the school's catchment area, can be found on the École Sage Creek/Bonavista FAQ page. 

In September 2025, the existing school at 315 Sage Creek Blvd will be renamed Sage Creek School to reflect the community it serves: Kindergarten to Grade 8 English program students residing in Sage Creek. More information, including a map of the school's catchment area, can be found on the Sage Creek School FAQ page. Enrolment at Sage Creek School is expected to reach capacity quickly; when this occurs, new enrolments will be directed to Shamrock School; for more information, click here.

Note D: 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. Learn more about this decision here. The building exchange will occur when essential building improvements have been completed. 

Note E: 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. J.H. Bruns Collegiate is the catchment area school for English program high school students residing in Sage Creek and not currently registered in LRSD. A significant addition and renovation 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.

Waterside Estates & Camiel Sys

Waterside Estates and Camiel Sys are relatively new developments in the northeast corner of LRSD. The developments are bounded by Dugald Road to the north and Plessis Road to the east.

French Immersion catchment schools for the area include École Provencher (Kindergarten to Grade 4), École Henri-Bergeron (Grades 5 to 8), and Collège Béliveau (Grades 9 to 12). École Henri-Bergeron also offers Middle French Immersion, beginning in Grade 4.

Kindergarten to Grade 8

In the early phases of development, Archwood School was the designated English program elementary school. However, as the developments grew, enrolment pressures at Archwood School grew unsustainably. At the May 2, 2023 meeting of the Board of Trustees, Marion School was designated as the English program elementary school for these communities; all students enrolled at Archwood School in Kindergarten to Grade 3 in the 2022-2023 school year were reassigned to Marion School, along with their older siblings, beginning in the Fall of 2023. Presently, any students residing in Waterside Estates or Camil Sys registering for Kindergarten to Grade 8 will attend Marion School.

Grades 9 to 12

In 2024-2025, the catchment areas of Windsor Park Collegiate (WPC) and Nelson McIntyre Collegiate (NMC) were realigned to match those of their corresponding elementary schools. Waterside Estates and Camiel Sys are now part of the Nelson McIntyre Collegiate catchment area. High school students new to the area will register at Nelson McIntyre Collegiate; busing is provided at no cost to families.

Students residing in Waterside Estates and Camiel Sys who attended Windsor Park Collegiate in the 2023-2024 school year will finish their studies there, along with their WPC peers. Trustees have also ensured that priority consideration will be given to Schools of Choice applications from students residing in Waterside Estates and Camiel Sys that would see siblings attend the same high school. Learn more about this decision here.

The following table summarizes the catchment schools for Waterside Estates and Camiel Sys:

Water Tower District

The Water Tower District is an approved infill development on former industrial lands bounded by Marion Street to the north, Windsor Park to the south, Speers Road and the Canadian National Railway to the east, and the Canadian Pacific Railway to the west. A project of the Olexa Developments, the subdivision will include mid- to high-density housing (25 acres), commercial and industrial development (21 acres and 70 acres, respectively), and park land (22 acres). This development was previously named "The Public Markets". 

The Board of Trustees will designate catchment schools when development plans advance.
