The Collective Design Process

At a meeting held on January 26 & 27, 2010 at the Winkler EMMC , the community was invited to discuss their preferences for a new high school, and to provide key input that will shape the development of the final plans for the school.

The construction phase for NPC began in June 2011, and you are invited to visually follow this project to its completion (see construction link on side menu).
