Westcreek Public School, located west of Altona Road and North of Sheppard Avenue, serves the Altona west community. The school first opened in September of 1999. We currently have a school population of 370 students from Junior Kindergarten to grade 8. Our staff of nineteen dedicated teachers and five support staff strive to provide a safe environment for students to learn and grow.
The Highbush residential neighbourhood is located at the westernmost boundary of Pickering. Development occurred between 1900 and 1940, with more subdivision activity occurring in the 1980s and 1990s. Housing in this neighbourhood is primarily detached dwellings on large lots, as well as some townhouse developments. The Altona Forest to the east, Petticoat Creek, and the Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor within the hydro transmission corridor, are key elements of Highbush.
