The Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) approved attendance area changes for the East Central London Attendance Area Review (ECLAAR) on June 25, 2025.
The goals of ECLAAR were to:
- Relieve enrolment pressure at East Carling Public School, which capped new student registrations for the 2024-2025 school year
- Increase enrolment at Prince Charles Public School to better use available space at the school
- Consider potential boundary changes for Aberdeen Public School due to future enrolment expected from the redevelopment of the former Victoria Hospital site on South Street
- Increase enrolment at Trafalgar Public School to better use available space at the school
Recommendations will take effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
TVDSB is grateful to the attendance area review committee for their input and recommendations.
Please see below for the approved motions. You can also visit www.tvdsb.ca/ECLAAR.

THAT the attendance areas for Aberdeen PS and Trafalgar PS as shown in Appendix A-2 to the May 23, 2025 report titled "East Central London Elementary Panel Attendance Area Review: Final Attendance Area Review Report" be approved and that this take effect for the 2026-27 school year; and
THAT students who will be in Grade 8 in the year of implementation of the attendance area changes and their siblings at East Carling PS and Aberdeen PS be provided with the "legacy agreement option" to remain at their current school for the duration of the school year of implementation only, with transportation (if eligible).
