Romeo Dallaire Public School was built in 2009 serving a diverse community in north Ajax. Our mission is Peace, Passion and Purpose, aptly chosen in honor of our name sake General Romeo Dallaire. We are a community that values lifelong learning. We work together, respecting our different economic, cultural and learning needs and have implemented a character education program that reinforces these common values. Our current student population is just over 500 and our students are given the opportunity to experience a variety of clubs and co-curricular activities. Students have a choice among choirs, bands, art, athletics, library, community service and other events outside the usual hours to round out their school life.
Northeast Ajax is comprised of several smaller communities. The residential area of Audley North is a fast-growing, culturally diverse community made up mainly of families. The majority of homes are detached, and built in the early 2000s. Deer Creek has a residential area located on Buggey Lane and Bunhill Court, and there are some homes and businesses in other parts of the area, but the region is largely green space. The Salem Heights neighbourhood is in north central Ajax, in an area defined to the west and south by the Canadian Pacific Railway line. The area comprises newer residential developments, with commercial areas in the north, along Taunton Rd. To the east, Carruthers Creek forms the boundary between Salem Heights and Audley North.
