- The students are allowed between Regent (Tim Hortons) and York Street (as far as Jack’s Pizza) and only on King and Queen streets. Students cannot walk or hang out on Brunswick Street.
All students must cross at the set of lights between Brunswick and Regent to go downtown and get back to the school (on the school side only--- a supervisor will be there for safety).

Cafeteria services will still be available for students who did not earn the privilege of going downtown or who simply wish to stay at the school.
