Winnipeg School Division helps migrating children get better education
Migrancy of students and families has been identified as a risk factor for inner-city students in Winnipeg. The ability to direct migrating families to available, affordable and safe housing within the same school catchment area helps address the issue of children changing schools frequently, and reduce the negative effects on the children's education and social well being.
This project will establish an online Housing Registry, based on the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure architecture and endorsed standards, to provide private- and public-sector rental information for parents, schools, and social services agencies. Additional information provided through the project will include community services, daycare, public transit, parks, police and fire stations, and hospitals and clinics.
