Proposed Disposal of Land

Proposed Disposal of Land

Prior to the disposal of land under Section 96(3) of the School Act, a bylaw describing the disposal will be prepared. The disposal must provide for: 

3.1. Consideration of the future educational needs of the District, 

3.2. Disposition of land or improvements through a public process, and 

3.3. Disposition of land or improvements at fair market value. 

The Board of Education of School District No. 67 has identified two properties as not being required for educational purposes and has therefore elected to dispose of the properties. Bylaws were passed and adopted by the Board in June 2022. 

The next stage in the process is to conduct public consultation. This public consultation process will allow the Board of Education to obtain the community's feedback on the proposed disposal of lands. 

The Board of Education is asking members of the community to share their input on the proposed land disposals. Feedback is invited by completion of the survey below. The survey will be open until April 15, 2023. A public information session will also be provided on Thursday, April 6th at 6:30pm at the IMC building. 

All feedback collected will be compiled and shared with the Board of Education to help inform their decision-making. 

The two properties under consideration are:

130 Linden Avenue, Kaleden (House and Land) 

The property located at 130 Linden Avenue in Kaleden consists of a house and land. This house and land is adjacent to Kaleden Elementary School. The Board of Education purchased this property in 1993. 

1604 West Bench Drive (Vacant land)

The property at West Bench Elementary School consists of a 10.36 Acre Parcel. The north 3.5 acres of this parcel are undeveloped. The Board of Education purchased this property in 1959.

The disposal of land sale is subject to approval by the Ministry of Education and Child Care. The proceeds from the sale of surplus lands will provide funding for other capital projects in the district.

Thank you for your feedback.
