Seeking name of French Immersion school on the corner of MacDonald and Clanranald Avenues opposite a park in Snowdon (Montreal) – Sept 1970 to June 1971 (Grade 7)

I attended a French Immersion school on the corner of MacDonald and
Clanranald Avenues opposite a park in Snowdon from Sept 1970 to June
1971 (Grade 7). I can’t remember the name of the school. I was
wondering if anyone on your website can help me. I believe there is
now an apartment building on the site. I attended Hampstead Elementary
from Grades 3-6 and West Hill High School from Grades 8-10.

I am hoping that someone reading this post can help Gillian find the name of the school. Contact me of you wish to get in touch with Gillian.

    I don’t know the name of the school, but the information in the original question seems to be inaccurate: Clanranald and MacDonald do not intersect. They are a block apart and parallel to each other, with Clanranald a one-way going north and MacDonald a one-way going south.

    It was Royal Vale and I was a Grade 7 French Immersion student there in ’72-’73. My teacher was M. Wilson; I think his first name was Alain. The building (address 5530 Dupuis) is still a school: Ecole des Cinq Continents.
