School board buys land in Morgan’s Grant from BlackBerry Blair Edwards

News - The Ottawa public school board has found a home for a new elementary school in north Kanata courtesy of BlackBerry. In a deal finalized this month, the board has bought two pieces of land, 6.7 hectares in total, from the smartphone company located at 2101 and 3101 Innovation Dr. in Morgan’s Grant. A site plan proposal has been submitted to the city calling for construction of a twostorey school with 26 classrooms and 5,489 square metres of floor space. The school is slated to open in September 2015 and will have a maximum enrolment of 619 students in kindergarten to Grade 8. “The good news is it’s going to mean the overcrowding that’s been in Kanata north for a long time is going to be helped significantly,” said Christine Boothby, Kanata trustee. Boothby said she was surprised at first by the decision to locate the school in an area surrounded by high-tech businesses such as BlackBerry, Cisco Systems and Mosaid Technologies. “The initial shock was, ‘Wow, a business area,’” she said. But the property also borders Monk Environmental Park and Richcraft Recreation Complex, now under construction.
