The new K-6 School being built in Condor now has a name.

It has been named Charlotte Small Elementary School following input from a corridor community survey.

Charlotte Small was the Métis wife of the famous map maker/explorer David Thompson who travelled thousands of kilometres alongside her husband across North America, assisting with map making all while raising 13 children.

In March, David Thompson High School was announced as the name of the 7-12 school coming to Leslieville.

“We are pleased with the choices of the complementing school names<” Wild Rose School Division said in a release.
