Shape the future of Ritson’s public spaces – take the survey!

Whitby, Ontario – Share what you value, prefer and envision for the public open spaces at the former Ritson School by taking an online survey.

What: The Ritson Project public outdoor space survey. Survey feedback will guide the design of inclusive, connected, welcoming and sustainable public spaces next to the historic former school building.

When: The survey is open from August 13 to 29.

Where: Complete the short survey online and visit durham.ca/RitsonSchool for more information on the Ritson Project.

Why: The Region of Durham purchased the former elementary school, located at 300 Ritson Road South, Oshawa, from the Durham District School Board in 2022. The Ritson Project will restore and reuse the historic school building as a community hub. On vacant parts of the property, it will provide new affordable and market rental housing.
