"The way the Province of Ontario is moving forward... there's a call for more intensification in the cores, as to opposed to always moving out into the green space, into our agricultural lands and Greenbelt," said Thibeault. Tracy Kiley, who has children attending Holy Family and St. Marguerite d'Youville Catholic Elementary School, said the Advanced Placement (AP) program offered at Iroquois Ridge High School is "very appealing to us parents for our kids" if HCDSB won't offer it at Holy Trinity or St. Ignatius of Loyola, or if they can't move to St. Thomas Aquinas. Soler and Kiley both want the Catholic board to address specialized programs in the boundary options, besides IB. The SBRAC represents all parties involved, Cipriano said, which is why it's important "to have all the voices at the table" when the HCDSB is holding a boundary review for all Oakville secondary schools. John Paweska, father of a Grade 9 Loyola student, said each option has some good points, but overall "I find that one high school will be affected a lot sooner than the others before portables are being considered." Cipriano noted that the review committee is advisory and the decisions rest with the board of trustees, who will take input from the meeting and the SBRAC report and make decisions based on the information.
