Want to make your mark on the new Burke Mountain elementary school?

School District 43 is inviting the public to submit suggestions for the name of the school that will be located at 3456 Princeton Ave. Expected to open in September 2018, the school has been referred to as Smiling Creek elementary, in keeping with the neighbourhood where it will be built.

Potential names can reference the community or geographic area, including any applicable historical or cultural traditions, or honour a particular person.

All suggestions will be considered by the district's school naming committee and a shortlist will be submitted to the school board for final approval.

Submissions are due by April 21 to [email protected] and must include the school name suggestions (ending in "elementary school"), the rationale for the suggestion and the entrant's name and contact email.
