There are all encompassing threads for postings to Winnipeg, Cold Lake, Petawawa, but I'm surprised there is nothing for Ottawa...so here we go (Mods, if my search skills have failed and there is an Ottawa thread please move this and feel free to kick me out).
I've finally been sucked in by the Ottawa vortex and will be moving the family there this summer. Working downtown initially but expect to relocate to the Carling Campus as part of the Phase II move (whenever that happens); so we're looking primarily in Kanata, with Barrhaven and Riverside South as other options. Looking in all three areas is a bit daunting so we want to rank some of the schools in order to narrow down our search.
So looking for advice from those who live/have lived in the aforementioned areas: any comments on french-immersion elementary schools? I've read the Fraser Institutes rankings but feel they only tell half the story; what are the teachers like? What kind of extracurriculars do they have (my oldest wants to start competing in track and field)? How is the school culture? Etc...
Thanks in advance!
