The regional boards to consult are the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (English public), Ottawa Catholic School Board (English Catholic), Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario (French public) and Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (French Catholic). The named public schools are starting points for an address check; Catholic assignments were not verified for a representative village address.
Catchments change. Being close to a school does not guarantee a place there. Boards set catchments by address and program, and they change them. Confirm the designated school for a specific address with each board before you buy.
