CBC News | Patti Edgar and David BellThe mayor’s hopes of turning unused land into affordable housing may come up against resistance among neighbourhood residents who use the sites for playing sports, walking their dogs and other recreational activities.
CBC News obtained the addresses of 16 sites that have been declared surplus by Calgary’s school boards.
The provincial government passed a bill late last year allowing towns and cities to turn unused school sites into affordable housing, police stations, community centres, libraries or daycares.
Only the portion of the land that was intended for a school can be developed.
