Westmount Public School is the People’s Choice winner of Kitchener’s Great Places Awards.

Citizens of Kitchener selected the new school for “its positive contributions to the neighbourhood and the role that it plays in making Kitchener a great city.” The new fully accessible two-story Westmount Public School opened in September 2015, complete with a double gym, a library filled with natural light and a bus bay to make getting on and off the bus safer.
