The planned new site for École élémentaire publique Louise\u002DArbour has stirred opposition when, instead, the community should support it.
I was born just before the enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to parents who had immigrated to Canada a few years earlier. Questions about why we learn French, the complex linguistic history of Canada, and the benefits to our community and culture of speaking another language didn’t occupy much of my thoughts during the first 30 years of my life.
The federal riding of Ottawa Centre, encompassing everything from the Arboretum to the House of Commons, with a population of more than 100,000 people, including more than 40 per cent of this population who can speak French, has only one public French-language elementary school.opened just over five years ago, after a parent-led, multi-year campaign for its existence, in a rented, woefully inadequate, temporary space..
The message conveyed by this objection is that the students of Louise-Arbour, who attend the school daily for 10 months a year, should endure an unknown period in an overcrowded, under-resourced space with no developed outdoor recreation area.
