Vote for Our Schools in Capitale
The Capitale ward takes in the Glebe and Old Ottawa East/South. About 10.9% of its residents have French as their mother tongue, and École élémentaire catholique Au Cœur d'Ottawa sits just at its edge.
Our schools in Capitale
CECCE has two elementary schools in the Capitale area: École élémentaire catholique Au Cœur d'Ottawa, which offers the Primary Years International Baccalaureate program and opened in 2017; and École élémentaire catholique Lamoureux, which offers Montessori-inspired personalized teaching.
As everywhere in Ontario, the default school support designation is not French Catholic: without an explicit request, it stays English public. That designation doesn't change your bill — since 1998, the residential school tax rate has been uniform across Ontario. What it does determine is whether you're counted as a CECCE voter, and with it your right to vote for the Zone 6 school board trustee on October 26, 2026.
Confirm your registration on the voters' list through Ontario's official Register to Vote service. This isn't a tool our campaign built — it's a public service, and we're urging you to use it today.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my school support designation is already at CECCE?
You can check and update your registration through the official Register to Vote service, ahead of the October 26, 2026 school board election.
Why does the October 26, 2026 date matter?
It's Ontario's school board election day. Electors designated to French Catholic school support can vote for their trustee, including the Zone 6 seat at CECCE.
