What is the impact on schools:

Many of the mature neighbourhood schools are not full from the local catchment area and require students to be bused in, or a program of choice to support their viability. Infill can help bring more children into a neighbourhood, especially when there is a critical mass of new families. While some schools are experiencing overcrowding, usually that is due to the "open boundaries" demand or the "programs of choice" offered by the Edmonton Public School Board.

It is important to remember that communities undergo a sorting process, and while some new infills may not be family-friendly, the renters moving into them may be freeing up space in other homes that might be more conducive to a young family.
