Federal Election Polling Station at Trillium Woods

Our school will serve as a polling station for the upcoming Federal Election being held on Monday, October 19, 2015.

We are pleased to host members of our community who will come and vote at our school.  It provides a wonderful opportunity to discuss the democratic process with students.  We encourage you to talk to your children about the important role voting plays in Canadian democracy.

As we will have community members attending our school to vote, you may see increased traffic around the school, as well as reduced parking.  We will be doing everything possible to minimize disruptions. 

Additional Safe Welcome security measures will be in place to ensure the safety of the students while the building is open to the public during the instructional day.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Parking is limited so BCSS ask that parents consider carpooling or parking at the GO Station. Markham By-law officers regularly enforce the parking regulations on the high school property, so please abide by the posted parking regulations.
