Lebreton has also been mentioned as a possibility.

The French school boards are having a lot of trouble finding space. I know a new elementary school is planned for Gladstone Village. They've been trying to get Rideau High School and Ottawa Tech from the English Boards, but no luck. Then you have the old Ottawa District School Board building on Gilmour owned by Aschroft. Yet another heritage building Ashcroft is sitting on, patiently waiting for it to fall down.
Province should own the schools and transfer them between School Boards when needed. The current system where certain Boards collect empty buildings, while other struggle to find new space is not sustainable.
