elementary school in Coal Harbour and a larger replacement school at the current Annex site.
Hudson’s French Immersion catchment area includes the West End, Coal Harbour and
Yaletown; many Hudson families live in the area most immediately affected by this proposal.
BC Hydro has asked the VSB to respond to this proposal by the end of March. Information
