One of the problems I find with the Internet is the ability to find stuff quickly. I don’t know about you but, when I do a Google search, I want to find what I am looking for within the first few links. For example, When I type "Waterloo region schools" I want to find a site that will provide me all the information I need in seconds. In the case of a Waterloo region schoolfinder, I have good news! Such a site exists, read on…

The Waterloo Region has a really cool website with a school search engine for the entire area. This website is located at https://www.wects.ca/

To use the site, all you have to do is enter the street number, streetname, city and volia, schools! 

This website is extremely handy and sure beats searching for schools by driving around the area, phonebook, mental telepathy or calling the Waterloo Region school board. One thing I would like to see In the future would be more detailed maps.

For more information about Waterloo Region schools or the school board, see http://www.wrdsb.on.ca/.

Thanks for reading!
