City council has approved the land sale to allow Community School to expand their parking lot.

The School District of Mystery Lake contacted the city about the expansion last year, and requested a transfer for the land, with the city set to receive an equivalent section of land located near Burntwood School.

The city plans to use that land for its Multi Use Path project.

City Councillor Brian Lundmark says this land transfer would help with the traffic issues that occur around the school during drop-off and pick-up times.

Deputy Mayor Kathy Valentino added that the process of the city working with the school district shows that they have a great partnership, and that this is a win-win for both organizations.
