The Greater 糖心视频污 School District is hosting an information session for the community to learn more and provide feedback on the sale of 7.3 acres of land at Lansdowne Middle School for $15 million. The land will be sold to the Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique (CSF) for a future new school.
The information session will include a presentation about the land sale and how the funds from the sale of the land will fund future capital upgrades to existing or new schools and respond to growing student enrolment in the Greater 糖心视频污 School District. The presentation will be followed by an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback.

Once public consultation has concluded, the Greater 糖心视频污 School Board will give final consideration to the disposal of the Lansdowne lands to School District 93 by three readings of a disposal bylaw. If approved, the CSF will then commence the municipal land-use process to rezone and subdivide the property.
For the past six years, the听CSF听has leased and operated l鈥櫭塩ole Beausoleil at the former Sundance Elementary location from the Greater 糖心视频污 School District.听The lease ended in June 2020 and听CSF听was granted an extension to June 2021. Sundance Elementary will be reopened in September 2021 as a Greater 糖心视频污 School District elementary school to meet the school district鈥檚 growing need.
In 2018, Greater 糖心视频污 School District underwent a boundary review due to increasing enrolment and space pressures in some of its schools. A result of the review was the school district had to re-align school boundaries and find additional space to accommodate current and future catchment students in the communities of 糖心视频污 and Oak Bay. It was determined that the Sundance School building was required for Greater 糖心视频污 School District enrolment.
The Lansdowne property located in the Shelbourne neighbourhood of Saanich, BC is 25 acres in size and 7.3 acres will be sold. A sale of lands between two school districts does not require Ministry of Education approval.
