## Schools and Daily Services

Two schools are mapped in Gonzales: École Élémentaire Margaret Jenkins Elementary and Glenlyon Norfolk School - Pemberton Woods Campus. These institutions serve different educational levels within the community. Their presence establishes basic educational infrastructure for families residing in the neighbourhood. The specific catchment boundaries and enrollment capacities are not detailed in the current evidence set.

One grocery store, Thrifty Foods, is identified within the neighbourhood boundaries. Three additional recreation facilities are also mapped, though their specific names are not provided in the dataset. This combination of retail and recreational services supports daily living needs. The limited number of grocery points suggests residents may rely on nearby commercial areas for broader shopping needs. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The mapped amenity data does not establish service frequency, catchment boundaries, or actual resident usage patterns for these facilities. Sources:

## City market context

From the Victoria market article, 11 October 2026:

September 2026 sales in Victoria fell sharply year-over-year while active listings rose. This divergence signals growing buyer choice and potential price pressure ahead. Victoria's September 2026 sales decline and rising inventory indicate a shift toward buyer leverage, despite stable Q2 prices.
