On June 22, 2023, Station One Architects (SoA) and the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District hosted a community consultation workshop that sought to engage the community in helping define the vision for a replacement secondary school in Pitt Meadows housing a neighbourhood learning centre (NLC).

Community members who were unable to attend in person and want to participate in the process have an opportunity to provide feedback through our online survey, which will be open from June 23 – 30, 2023.

Take the survey

At the June 14, 2023, second open house, Station One Architects (SoA) reported on the feedback received from our community, and addressed how this input influenced the proposed Eric Langton Elementary school design. Attendees also had a further opportunity to provide their perspectives on the proposed designs.

If you were unable to attend the second open house but would like to provide additional feedback, you can participate in our second online survey, which will be open from June 15 to 4 pm June 22, 2023.

Take the survey.

How feedback influenced design

A summary document of all feedback received with notes on how this feedback influenced design is available in our updated Public Engagement Summary document.

You may also download the renderings of the proposed design here. Please note this is a large file (15MB) and may take a few moments to download.

Parent/guardian and student MyClass accounts will be disabled on July 31, 2023, to allow for system archiving and school scheduling.

Dear families,

As we transition into the final weeks of the school year and the temperatures rise, I would like to inform you about some of the precautionary measures we have taken to maintain comfortable classroom environments for students and staff. I will also share a few tips on how you can contribute from home. While some of our schools and learning spaces are well-prepared for warmer days, others face greater challenges and require more specific measures.
