​​​In June of this year, The Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB) invited members of the Forest area community to share their thoughts on a name for the Forest Area Kindergarten to Grade 12 school.

An Ad Hoc Naming Committee was then formed. This Committee determined criteria for the potential name and invited the public to submit ideas for names of the new facility, with a deadline of September 25, 2023.

The Committee has completed the challenging task of narrowing the list of potential names from more than 130 down to 12, and are now looking for feedback from the Forest area community on this shortened list.

On October 5, a survey​ will go live, wherein participants are asked to select one preferred First Name and one preferred Name Ending, respectively. This data will further assist the Committee in gauging the public's opinion on the new name. 

The survey will be open for submissions until Friday, October 20, 2023. 

Please direct all questions or comments through email address schoolnaming@lkdsb.net​ ​
