School Culture and Expectations

Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
Brooklyn Elementary emphasizes safe and active travel to and from school, developed through a community process involving the school, PAC, SD71, RCMP, the Town of Comox, and other partners. The school reports it does not have a school bus because most homes are within walking/biking distance, and it has increased the number of bike racks for secure bike parking. A public bus services the nearby high school and the neighbourhood community.
