Immigration: Urgent Requests

Nahas Dept: "All the requests were listed as urgent because the needs are really there," said Jean Michel Nahas, a communications officer for the board, according to Montreal Gazette. The board has also asked for new elementary schools in Nuns' Island and Pierrefonds west, as well as four enlargements of existing schools and while demographics have not been kind to most school boards recently, the Commission Scolaire Marguerite Bourgeoys is literally bursting at the seams and has made urgent requests to the Education Department for three new elementary schools and four enlargements of existing schools. In some areas, he said, the need for a new school is critical. In St. Laurent, for example, there has been a 51-per-cent increase in enrolment in the last four years. As reported in the news.
