Sister MacNamara School

Winnipeg School Division Dept: The division has had a net gain of close to 1,000 students this school year, growth that shows no signs of slowing, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Sister MacNamara School is at capacity after 70 children more than anticipated moved into newcomer housing downtown and phenomenal immigration-driven increases in enrolment have put tremendous pressure on schools in the inner city and northwest neighbourhoods of Winnipeg School Division. "Specific schools are really impacted," inner-city superintendent Karen Siler said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
