## Educational Infrastructure in Ashby

Three elementary schools are mapped within Ashby, including Cusack Elementary School and Ashby Elementary School. A third institution, Centre scolaire Étoile de l'Acadie, completes the educational presence recorded in the dataset. These facilities represent the primary schooling options identified for the area based on available geographic data.

The presence of multiple schools suggests a developed residential base supporting family-oriented living. However, the mapping does not confirm catchment zones or current enrollment levels. Residents should verify specific school assignments through municipal education authorities before making location-based decisions. Sources:

## Recreational Spaces and Public Areas

Two park points are attributed to Ashby, specifically Ashby Corner Veterans Memorial Cenotaph and Willow Street Ball Field. These locations provide designated public spaces within the neighbourhood boundary as recorded in the source data. The variety indicates both commemorative and active recreational uses are present in the mapped inventory.

These amenities contribute to the local character by offering accessible outdoor areas for residents. The data confirms their existence but does not detail size, condition, or programming. Prospective buyers may wish to visit these sites to assess their suitability for personal lifestyle preferences and community engagement. Sources:
